09.29.11 six years. 

Love him like the first day.

Sugar, iron and lilies are the symbols for #6. Since we just purchased a new car and barbecue grill we decided to just have a quick trip and not do any gifts. But, I did get some flowers and Willie had a friend make an "iron" frame!  We dropped the boys at Mom & Dad's and spent the weekend in Scottsdale. We went to  the iPic theater, hotel, sushi and shopping. We haven't been able to be on a date alone since I was pregnant with Hoyt... it was nice. Love my babies but Willie is my  #1. Funny how the whole time we are on a trip to be alone we are thinking about and buying gifts for the boys. 

 

Busy busy week!

 SOOO many birthdays in September. We went to Payson to celebrate with lots of family. 

While there we had a baby shower for Jordan & Candon and little girl on the way, birthday party(s), BBQ in the park & baseball games. 

We cut Chelsie's hair... 11 inches! While in Mesa I did 2 photo shoots and 5 hair appointments. 

FINALLY got to the valley and was able to do a little shopping

... really tired of shopping ONLY at WalMart! 

Loved staying with Grandma D! We had such a nice time visiting all day. We put Hoytie's height on the the "How Tall Wall". He wins for the shortest...for now! The grandkids love their "gwama d" and what little kids wouldn't love blue popcorn, cinnamon rolls, popsicles,chocolate, driving around "looking for animals" and playing in the backyard in the pool! 

We love you G Ma thanks for having us! Hope you had a great Birthday!

 

Gila Valley Temple

The Temple here is so amazing. 

It's steeple can be seen almost anywhere in the town 

and when these summer storms come they illuminate the white building and it is so beautiful. 

I can't wait to print this and have it in my home as a constant reminder. 

"It is my personal priority to make sure members of the 

Church have access to the blessings of the temple,"  

"It is here where members learn of their divine origin and destiny; 

where they are strengthened spiritually as individuals and as families. 

Temples are sanctuaries from the storms of life."

President Thomas S Monson
