We're Keeping Busy 'Round These Parts

This week has had us running here and there. Monday I went into find out some details on what I would be doing for Paul's company. After that I took my camera in while Emma and Paul got some food at Taco Amigo. I met them there, ate lunch super duper fast and hurried home so I could get Andrew from his primary class party. The rest of the day was a lot more relaxed. 

Tuesday the kids had a second craft class at Robert's. We had signed them up to make T-shirts and door signs. I think the door sign class went a little smother than the other class, but not much. All that matters is they had fun, right? 


That afternoon we had reservations for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. We got to South Jordan just in time. This open house was a lot better than Draper because they didn't bus you in. We walked right up and got in a tent for the movie on the importance of temples. I loved the movie they played. It talked about our ancestors who helped build up that part of Utah. The testimonies that were shared, especially Elder Holland's, were very touching. 

After the movie we got to do the shuffle through the temple. I hate that it is so crowded and slow going. I don't let it bother me though because I know how important it is for the kids to be there and to see the beauty. Here is a link to some photos of the interior.
We loved the chandeliers that they had all throughout the temple. It was breathtaking. I also love all the beautiful art that is in the temples. 

After we were done with the tour we got our cookies, took some pictures and headed to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Dang that was good.
