Having the kids home for 3 weeks has been wonderful. I am sad that they have to go back to school tomorrow. I wish I could always have them home - but not homeschool them!! We had a lot of fun....most of the time I forgot my camera (as usual!), but I did remember to bring it with us when we went to Idaho Falls for the day. We did some shopping and went out to lunch, but first we walked around the temple and spent a couple of hours at the visitors center. All the senior missionaries there loved the kids and gushed and gushed over them! One of the couples had 14 kids - AWESOME! Everyone has to comment on how this person or that person that they knew had 7 girls in a row and then finally had a boy. I don't think Tanner believes it though...he's heard it too many times! We got to see the Christus, and then we watched the Joseph Smith movie. It was excellent! I haven't seen it in a couple of years. It made Akayla and I cry like crazy. The other kids enjoyed it, but they were feeling ready to go (we hadn't had lunch yet!), and Elli was getting a little stir crazy! She ripped her hairbow out, then started dancing and entertaining us very well during the movie. I was glad we were the only ones in the theater.
good things:
visiting one of the few visitor's centers in the US
beautiful weather
hanging out with my kiddos
strollers - Elli is one heavy girl!

I loved having Taylor home too. Kiddos are so much fun and keep life very entertaining. Love you guys
What a fun experience. It's nice to be able to take the family to the temple to see. I know my kids loved when we took them to the SD temple to show them where we were sealed. SO fun!
What a great thing to do :) I miss that temple... It's been a very long time since I was there last...that's where I was sealed to my parents.
Oh I love that temple. It's so pretty next to the river. Cute pics, glad you had fun!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU-Tomorrow! I hope it is fabulous..Love Jen
Wow akayla looks way different this is aaron
I love it! Elli is such a ham and the hot dog in Mariah's hand is the star of all the pictures :) Your kids are growing up way too fast. I need to come visit! Hope you're having a great birthday :)
What great pictures! Your kids are soo cute!
I've been kinda lagging with commenting lately, (sorry) so I decided it was as good a time as any to do that. Anyway, adorable kids as usual! I love Mariah and Elli holding those hotdogs. The Idaho Falls temple sure is beautiful, and I love the Joseph Smith movie. I was crying so much at Girls camp. (And it wasn't just crying, I was blubbering! I thought everyone else would be crying, but it turned out to be me in the back, gasping and blowing my nose. Embarassing!) I hope you guys had a great time off!
