Brigham City Temple Open House

Jaxson invited us to come along with his little family and some of the rest of the fam for the Open House. So thankful for him in getting us there. We were going to try for tickets, but then he was too on top of it and took care of it. Thanks Jaxson! We missed the rest who didn't end up being able to make it. But I loved it and the peace that was there. I LOVE the temple. So amazing. and I love taking pics of the exterior. I think it's crazy I only remember going to one, the Bountiful Temple open house and my boys have been to 3 now! Awesome.

 Miss Kinlee does not like long drives...haha So she gets almost anything...like chocolate that melts ALL over!

 She LOVED the beach the first day as long as she had sandals on :)

 Our first beach day, short lived! But the kids had fun!

 and the crew!

 Then that night when we got shakes my mom and some family happened to be going at the same time so the kids ran up and scared her! and Kinlee enjoyed her shake too.

 Some cousin fun with Grandma Debbie!

 Love Drew's expressions...always! ha

 Glad I got a smile out of Rich :)

 Campfire fun!!!! My favorite.

 and the crew again!

 The kids woke up WAY too early so we went for a drive...we found this. AFter, Peyt saw the pic and said "Hey!!! I was a girl?!!" he laughed, it was funny.

 Over with the other side of the fam...Grandpa Bruce took Kinlee for a walk and to the swings!

 Her buddy!

 Tys handed us life jackets and said to put them on and go have fun. He wouldn't take no for an answer! ha Love that hubby of mine who let me go play with the boys!

 Quite the family crowd on the tramp! So fun tho!

 and burrying Peyt with help from August!

 This was tysons idea...haha he knew we needed the famous self taken pic.

 and Kinlee's other buddy!

 Us girls on the paddle board or something!

 BOAT time!

 Love my little family!

 Generations!!!

 and this jammin' group of cousins!

 WE stopped quick by the BRigham City Temple. Beautiful!

and the boys fell asleep like this on the way home. WORN out! :)

Seriously so fun this year.  We went up on Friday and hung out with Tysons side of the family. We had a motel reserved but then went and I did NOT wanna pay almost $100 for this place. Even Kinlee was scared of it and was crying and the boys said they didn't wanna stay there. It was very neglected to say the least. So we camped we opted out! We headed to the beach then went to dinner/shakes and back to the campground where we figured out sleeping stuff borrowed anything we could and really did have so much fun. Hung out for breakfast and headed over to my family side of things.

**PS...I TOTALLY get I have more pics when we were with my family, in my defense...it's cuz Tysons side ALWAYS makes fun of me when I pull the camera out. Therefore, I limited myself :) **

Uploads from the Phone...my regret of having a phone sometimes! :)

 Peyton brought this to me last night while I was rocking Kinlee to sleep...so cute. I love that boy!

 Beautiful!

 Miss Kinlee stayed up till after 10...just wanting pics! serious. it was funny!

 Ooops! the one above, is cuz we got to my moms and leave ALL the time with a brownie mix. it's funny! and then the boys with Great Grandpa Love.

 Miss Kinlee and Krew dude! ha they crack me up.

 We love you Steve!

 The kids all ready in their orange to honor Grandma.

 k do they look alike? I think so...

 She would put her shoes on and climb back in the pool every five seconds. She is so fun!

 The boys!

 k how awesome is this?! This pic is way cool AND the night was perfect. Tys and jay surprised me and Nachelle with dinner at the Roof followed with Wicked!!! How great are they and lucky are we?!

 LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Birthday boy! #32!!! I actually love it. and many more to come. He had a golfing day with his two buddies!

 and good morning cake!

 and the boys came up with the idea for this! Well, they wanted a Lions bedroom, but we settled on this! haha

 I love this.  The day Tysons mom passed, it was so hard. Unbelievably actually. I couldn't talk to someone without crying. We couldn't eat much, we were so sad and heart broken. But we came home and our whole driveway, sidewalks and walkways were covered with these kind of drawings. I have more on my camera and need to post them but this one was my favorite. Because it was the exact knowledge and comfort we needed. That night we had some friends that insisted taking us dinner to get us out and not have to think about it all. We are so blessed with love. It was also just what we needed. and helped so much. So many people stopped by, brought meals, thoughtful gifts, cards, and just so much love! Thank you to everyone!!!

 This is kinda bittersweet. We took this pic on Sunday the 22nd. but it's the last one I am pretty sure Julie Saw of her grandboys. I love it, because it reminds me SO much of Taylor and Carston. but so sad, because these boys also called her that day to tell her about their team apparel and she was sleeping, so they didn't get to tell her...it breaks my heart...she would have loved to hear them so excited.

 Wow! and behind on this!!!!  Miss Kinlee fell into a coffee table and had to get stitches! I FREAKED out, luckily I was with my calm step mom who took care of us both getting us to the hospital and kept me somewhat calm. Thanks Shan!

 and Grandpa Bruce who brought her flowers! :)

 Poor GIRL!!!!

 We went to Cherry Hill one day and saw our old neighbors! PERFECT!!! it was so fun!

 Also, another bittersweet...I thought about inviting Julie, but was almost 99.9% confident she wouldn't have came anyway. So i didn't, now I wish I would have :(

 Dinner with my sista's from other mista's! I love them. Thanks for a fun night out girls!!!

 and more swimming!

She LOvES!!! playing with the water. She is so fun I love her AND her brothers. Never bored, that's for sure!
