Draper Temple Open House

This morning we went to the Draper Temple Open House. It was great. It wasn't very busy, the boys were great and the weather was just right. It is such a beautiful building. I know temples are amazing in their architecture and whatnot but I was still impressed. Zac liked it a lot. He liked the "hallway" (the temporary covered/heated walkways into the temple) and the bus ride. It was just a great family outing. Even thought it was a tour it was still reverent and I could feel the love of the Lord. I am so grateful for His gospel. I love how temples are a way to get closer to Heaven. I was filled with gratitude and comfort the whole morning.


The bus ride



It was a great way to start a busy busy day: Temple open house, come home, lunch/change clothes, drop Zac off at preschool, grocery shopping with tired toddler, pick up Zac from preschool, put groceries away, help do preschool homework, go buy kid-friendly scissors to do homework (neither office depot or max has the plastic ones I wanted), finish homework, pick up up house, make dinner, go to stampin' up, come home, blog, hang out til bed time...phew...a day like this amongst many days stuck at home is a breath of fresh air-it was a satisfying day.

Walking

Max can walk!!





I suppose he just chooses not to . . . most of the time . . .

Saturday

The random happenings of a Saturday morning:

Zac getting ready for a haircut (My first time, not too bad . . .but I definitely made mistakes!)

Max wanting to get into everything (actually leaving his new BYU hat on!)

My sexy husband in his new shades cleaning the fridge . . . (which makes him more sexy, the shades or the fact that he is cleaning the fridge?!)

Moda Honey Buns

I want to win these honey buns from V and Co. If so, maybe, they'll show up in your homemade craft! :)

Haiku: Munkafest Style

Jon has recently renewed his efforts to his Haiku Today blog. Go on over to enjoy a good laugh, or I mean a serene moment with a new Haiku everyday, as he has added audio recording of many Haiku.

Hey?

While driving home on the freeway . . .

Zac: Hey, Mom

Mom: Hey Zac

Zac: Hey Mom

Mom: Hi, Zac

Zac: Hey, Mom

Mom: yeah

Zac: Mom, hey

Mom: Hey, what?

Zac: Hay, Mom (pointing to a truck towing a trailer full of hay bales)

Mom: Oh, yeah, hay! You're right that is hay!
