"Until you have entered the house of the Lord and have received all the blessings which await you there, you have not obtained everything the Church has to offer. The all-important and crowning blessings of membership in the Church are those blessings which we receive in the temples of God."

 ~Pres. Thomas S. Monson,  The Holy Temple, A Beacon to the World.

Conf. Ensign April 2011

The Ogden temple is getting a whole new look to it and will be completed in 2 years!! I can't believe that we have to wait that long, but it will be awesome to see what it will look like when it is done. My friend Reb and I decided to go do a session at the Ogden Temple, which we actually ended up doing inititories instead of a session because we took too long taking pictures. Before we went in the temple we walked around the temple grounds and took pictures. I didn't have my regular camera with me so I took these pictures with my camera on my phone, which they turned out pretty good!! The Temple grounds at the Ogden temple are so beautiful. I feel very blessed that we went and did some temple work, before the temple closed. After we were done doing some temple work we took a couple more pictures of the temple, including one of us together, because that is so Reb LOL!! It was a very fun night!! 

 

A Bird Adventure, Featuring A Mother Robin With Her Babies

  A Bird Adventure 
 Featuring A Mother Robin 
With Her Babies 
Spring 2011

One Day I walked past the upstairs window and noticed a bird's nest on the window ledge. After seeing this I was in awe knowing that a Mother Bird and her babies would be there in that nest, and that I would be able to see this unfold. My Mom and Dad were also in awe of this. Every day we would walk by and check to see how the Mother Bird was doing. My Mom put a pillow in the window to give the Mother Bird her privacy. Then one day there were Three Baby Robins in the nest. These three baby Robins were so small and sweet. Everyday The Mother Bird would come and feed them behind the Father Bird would follow and clean up the baby bird poop, I thought that this was funny! Eventually I was able to take pictures of these baby Robins. This has been a really neat experience from when the nest was built to seeing the baby Robins be born. I feel really blessed to have witnessed one of Heavenly Father's beautiful creations. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Brenda and I went to a REAL Game. Oh my gosh it was so much fun!! I loved it!! Neither of us had been to a game, before!! They are actually really good. I never thought Soccer games could be so much fun!! Her friend Heather sold us half price tickets. Instead of paying $30 we only paid $ 15. Heather's husband Eric was selling them as a fundraiser for the Police Departments and Fire Departments. The seats were really good seats, row C section 5. I was able to get some really cool shots from where we were sitting. Brenda was bummed that she forgot her camera!! Next game we go to she will bring it. We were able to sit by Heather, Eric, and their cute baby!! At first it wasn't too cold, but then it became really chilly!! I didn't really want to spend $50 and buy a sweatshirt!! The only part of my body that was super cold were my fingers from taking so many pictures!! A lot of the soccer players on both teams are really good looking, so that was plus, besides the game being so much fun!! I didn't realize how many soccer fans there were. However there were not so many crazy fans so no fights broke out, maybe in other countries!! Anyway REAL won 4-1!! I really would love to go to another game sometime. Besides getting some cool shots it was fun to take part in something so HUGE!

Reb and I decided to go on this 3,000 mile round-trip road trip to Washington State and Oregon!! It was awesome!! I have been meaning to blog about this forever but never got around to do it. So here it is almost a year later and I am FINALLY blogging about it!! Anyway Reb came to me and said how would you like to do this road trip with me?? At first I was like hmmmm...I am not a huge fan of road trips but then she told me of some of the places that we would be going such as; Multanomah Falls, which is in Corbet Oregon, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Port Angeles, Forks, and to visit her Aunt, Uncle and Cousins in Yakima which is in Sunnyside Washington, otherwise known as the "Never Green side of the Evergreen State." Well I couldn't pass up on this opportunity especially since a lot of it was Twilight Related!!! I was 100% In. The place that we stayed for the majority of it was Ocean Shores Washington. Reb's parents' have a time share there, which this saved us a lot of money. However the downside to this besides it being rainy everyday there and we couldn't see the Ocean it was about 2 hours away from everything we were doing!! Oh well It was pretty much free!! Yay for that!! Reb and I had a lot of Adventures on this trip!! Some are spoken in Hush Tones!! so Shhhh!!! Reb and I had the opportunity to visit our friend Naomi and her husband in Portland!! Reb and I also were able to do a session at the Portland and Seattle Temple which was way awesome!! Let me tell you that Washington is such a beautiful place... However before I forget our last stop was in Idaho Falls Idaho to take pics of the waterfalls there!!

Oaklee's Birthday Party at the Park in Ogden May 9, 2009

Oaklee's Birthday Party at the Park in Ogden

May 9, 2009

" We can Learn a lot from Children,

through interaction and observation" ~ ABH 06'

Oaklee, my cute Niece celebrated her 3rd birthday at the Park in Ogden. It was a blast. She cracks me up. Her favorite saying is; "I do it, I do it myself!" She is such a mini Elizabeth (her mom) in that way. We had pizza, cake and drinks. It was kind of a chilly day but it didn't rain which was way good. She recieved a bike from Jory's (her dad) paren'ts. When she got on it to ride she didn't want to have anyone help her at all it made me laugh. Oaklee fell off twice, but got right back up again and had not trouble after that, she was actually laughing at herself for that reason. I had to laugh because that is so me, because I fall I laugh at myself. I didn't get a picture of this. After she opened all of her presents including mine which was a Mrs. Mermaid Potato Head, she wanted to play with it then and there. Elizabeth told her that was not a good idea because she didn't want her to loose any of the pieces. After the party was all cleaned up Oaklee Haelee (Older sister and Brittany wanted to play at the Park, which was right by where we were.. Oaklee wanted to swing in this one swing that she couldn't fall out of... Oh once she was in there she didn't want to get out of it.. However back stepping a second before she did the swing she Haelee and Brittany went and played on the climber and slide. I got some way cute Pictures of them playing together.. The First Picture on here is Oaklee on the Climber and she got right up in the Camera and and said Cheese!!! However when it was time to go she didn't want to get off the swing.. Elizabeth and Jory decided that Oaklee needs a swing set in the backyard. She doesn't have one yet but one of these days she will have one. I was the only one to get her off her swing... It was a very fun party. I am glad that I was able to go.. The dates kept getting changed around... There was too many things going on in May, so I almost didn't make it.
