Angel Moroni

Tyler has been wanting to go see the Draper Temple for a while now. So after his soccer game this morning we drove around the temple. When we got there his eye got really big and he ask "Who is that on top of the temple?" I giggled a bit about the way he said it. I explained that is was Angel Moroni. He then said, "WOW, he is big. What does he have?" I then told him that it was a trumpet. He just kept saying WOW that is big. I did not take him to the open house because I did not think he would understand. But after today I am most defiantly taking him to the Oquirre Mountain Temple open house in June. He will really enjoy that.

The Joys of the Unexpected

I Had the great experience of going to the Draper Utah Temple dedication last Friday. Temples are amazing but to see the prophet in the Temple is even more amazing. A few of the hundreds of people attending were randomly chosen to set in the celestial room with the Prophet. Yes I was one of them. It was so neat to be there and to hear the words spoken and the music that was sung by a small chore sounding as big at the Tabernacle Chore. It was one of the most amazing things to experience in my life!

Exploring the Neighborhood

This duck or goose what ever you call it would not leave Raquel alone. It followed her down the street. As you can see she is telling it to stop.

Who knew this was just down the road from us (literally a block away). Actually it is on the other side of the road from our church building. It is called the wet lands. Absolutely gorgeous. There are 3 different ponds with docks, and horse property surrounds it. So you get the ducks and the horses at the same time. I also hear there is lots of deer and raccoons hiding there. A great new place to go running.

A Mothers Greatest Fear

I woke up one morning and could not find Raquel anywhere. My heart skipped a couple of beats. I frantically woke Jared and we look through the whole house. We finely found her asleep under her bed. I guess it was more comfortable there.

New Favorite Seat

We just started to baby sit a 8 month old, so we got all of our baby things out again. Raquel decided that the walker is hers.

Christmas

She got her doll later that night at grandmas.

Christmas Eve at Grandmas and Grandpas.

Our little Cowboy

We got Raquel a dinning set and put the suckers on the table. She was more excited about the suckers then the gift.

Tyler's big gift, Spike is his name. Tyler and Raquel were so afraid of him when Jared put it together. They both jumped on the couch. Raquel clung to her grandpa and Tyler was on Jared. When Tyler got the controller he would stand on the opposite side of the room of spike and when he pushed the walk button he screamed and ran. Raquel and Tyler are both use to him now. They really think he is real and pet him. I guess we don't need to worry about getting them a dog anytime soon. LOL

Christmas Eve at Grandmas and Grandpas.

He sure loves Tricky Nikki

When we pulled out Tyler big gift he got all sort of excited. I honestly think he knew what it was. He stood next to it and told me to take a picture.

4 Years Down and Forever to Go!

Then

Now

I can't believe it has already been 4 years since Jared and I married. Time sure does fly. Our anniversary was the 11Th of this month. It seems like we have been together much longer then that, and I don't mean in a bad way either. Here are some fun facts about us:

Met July of 04



Got married December of 04 at the Salt Lake Temple


Herald B. Lee's Son in-law married and sealed us. Elder Goats was his name.

The whole wedding and pictures took 2 hrs.


Went on our honey moon in Trujillo Peru 3 months later


Found out we were pregnant with Tyler there


Jared proposed on our 6Th month anniversary and that is when I got my ring
(better late then never)


Okay so we are not the traditional kind of people. However, we get things done. The past 4 years have been so fun and adventurous. I am so glad I am with Jared for all eternity and would not change a thing. Love ya tons Babe!
