We're Getting a Temple

In preparation for the Payson Temple, I have been trying to teach the girls about temples- and have started teaching them the song, "I love to see the temple."

This morning, with jammies still on and crazy hair, they each performed their own rendition.

I love my family and feel grateful we can be together FOREVER!

Labor Day Weekend

This photo was actually a few weeks ago - we went swimming and Tori hit her eye on the side of the slide and got a pretty nice shiner - Bryan had her pose like this - maybe we can post it on our front door with a sign that reads:

"Warning, tough girls live here"
Over Labor Day weekend, Tori had her last performances with her dance class and dancing group. Can you pick her out of the crowd below as they were lining up for the children's parade?

(hint: she's the littlest one)

While Tori's group and the other girls were performing on stage, this is how Laeni spent her time...playing in the dirt with her cousin Fisher :)
During the children's parade, Tori was WAY behind her class, but just kept looking at everyone and smiling - as you can see in the photo, there are none of her classmates even close. A couple of times I picked her up and carried her up with the rest of her group so she wouldn't be run over by the bikes right behind them. She was having a great time doing her thing.


We also needed something fun to make / eat, so we made fruit shishkabobs - hoping Tori would eat something (she hasn't been feeling well lately).

Grandma Francis made the girls their own "dancing skirts" and here they are using them...

Laeni posed like this herself...such a ham!
