We went out to Temple Square last Sunday. I had such a great time with my family. Two sister missionaries took us around and we watched a movie about familes. It has been a really long time since we were there, I would highly recomend going and seeing this movie if you have not. Towards the end of the movie Mack snuggled up to me and had tears in his eyes and told me that he loved me and that he loves our family and this movie. Mack is so busy all of the time but for just a short moment he was still and felt the spirit. I am so thankful we were able to go and have such a fun time.
I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny new sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a staion wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my sholder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

Dad's Special Day
My boys have been missing Warren a lot lately so they wanted to do something nice for him when he got home from work. Bridger decided we would play Restaurant. They were so cute they created a menu and had me make the items on it. Then they set the table using my nicer dishes. We made a sign for the front door. Bridger wanted to dress up so they looked like waiters. Bridger called Warren and told him I was not feeling very well so he would be in charge of dinner. Ha ha. The boys were so excited. They kept peeking out the door and waiting on the front porch. When Warren finally got home Mack took his name and told him it would be about a five minute wait. Then he took him to his chair. Bridger then read him the menu and I dished Warren's order up and Bridger served it to him. I have not seen Warren smile that big in a long time. He was so happy and the kids were so happy. It was definitely worth it.

Backpacking
This is the brightest Rainbow I have ever seen, this picture does not do it justice. We were really scared driving to our hike because it was raining so hard. It finally cleared up. Yay! Sean is picking his nose.
And the hike begins.

The Next day.
Sleeping in our tent.
Pumping Water
Posing in front of Dead Mans Lake,
Catching a fish. I caught four fish in the first ten minutes. It was so fun. I loved fishing. Then nothing for two days. Fish should not get our hopes up like that.
Thumbs up
Taking a break
We had so much fun.
Heading Home.

Spanish Fork Rodeo
We Stopped just outside of Spanish Fork and ate at Kentucky Fried Chicken. Bridger kept saying so this is food from Kentucky. I like Kentucky food. What a dork! Mack is totally obsessed with being a cowboy right now. He even has a horse named Thunder Light Storm.
Both boys rode the bull, Mack was really excited and then the crowd cheered for him and he got shy.
Bridger Stayed on for a long time he just slowly inched off of the bull.
Mack just happy to be hanging out.
