Spring Break at the Phoenix Zoo

We took the girls to the zoo during spring break and went on the train ride. It was a warm day so we enjoyed sipping cool lemonade. The girls always have fun at the zoo. My favorite exhibit this time was the zebras.

Visiting the Temple

The girls love to visit the temple and feel the sweet spirit there.

Picking Fruit

While Mike, Emily and Sadie were here last we visited the temple. They needed help picking fruit so we volunteered to help. It was a beautiful day the the kids had a wonderful time. Sadie loves her Aunt Stacey and Madison and Carys love their Uncle Mike.

Sarah and Cory's Wedding Pictures

Sarah and Cory were married on Thursday, March 12, 2009 in the Mesa Arizona Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony. Thanks to Jessie for taking this perfect picture at the temple.

They had their reception in our backyard and it was wonderful thanks to so many friends and family members. My sister Susan and my sister-in-law Debbie decorated this lovely sign-in table. I sure appreciated all of the help that was given to make Sarah and Cory's wedding day so special!

These are Sarah and Cory's bridal pics the day before their wedding.

I love this picture with the blackbirds in the background.

Stacey helps Sarah with finishing touches by applying the lip gloss.

It was great fun to watch as Jessie took pictures!

Visiting the Temple

We enjoyed visiting the temple during the Christmas vacation. It has been so nice to spend time with the family. I love the peaceful nativity scene. It is one of my favorite places to be.

Spending time with these cute girls make me so happy!
I love their sweet kissses!
I love to hear Carys sing the song "I love to see the Temple".
Madison loves to sing like her sister!
They were all smiles and it was a beautiful day.
We were so happy to spend time with Mike, Emily and baby Sadie.
Sadie is such a precious baby girl!
Michael loves Emily and his sweet baby Sadie!
It will be hard to say goodbye to this cute family!

We are so blessed to live so close to the temple and love to spend time with our kids and grandkids. Visiting the temple is a great way to start the new year. We wish you all a wonderful New Year and rich blessings throughout the year!
