Pumpkin Patch 2012

This year we decided to take the kids to a pumpkin patch and let them pick out their own pumpkin.  We went to Petersen Family Farm's in Riverton, UT.  We had a fun time and the kids picked out their pumpkins and we got some fresh dug potato's and some fresh local honey.

We had a great time and on Saturday we spent time carving our pumpkins.  I know it is early, but we had fun as a family doing it.

1st Day of School

Well I am behind getting this posted.

The kids started school the end of Aug and beginning of Sept.

At the end of the year last year we found out we belonged in another school district then were we thought we belonged.

So far we are loving our new classes and are enjoying the teachers.  The kids walk across the bridge to Red Robin's to catch their bus.  Dillon and Jennilyn love going to school together.

I Love To See The Temple

I love to see the temple I'm going there someday to feel the Holy Spirit to listen and obey.


On Labor Day we had tickets to go to the open house of the new Brigham City Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  You can learn more about the temples here. 

It turned out a lot of people came that day since they didn't have work or school. This is a special time to come and take a tour of the temple before it is closed to the public and only those worthy members with special recommends can go inside.

We took our friend Janet and the kids and we all stood in line for 3 1/2 hours before we were able to go inside and see the temple.  The kids did so well for having to wait so long in the hot sun.  Afterwards we took the kids to Pizza Hut for dinner before we made the drive home.

Dan and I went to the Temple Dedication on Sept 16 with my mom.  It was so wonderful to attend that.

We are looking forward to the Ogden, Payson, and new Provo Tabernacle Temples in the next few years!

Here are some of the pictures we took.
