WE WENT TO THE OQUIRRH MOUNTAIN TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE TODAY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE. TAYLEE'S FAVORITE ROOMS WERE THE BAPTISMAL FONT AND THE BRIDES ROOM. TYDON'S FAVORITE PART WAS THE BAPTISMAL FONT. MAKINLEY'S FAVORITE PART WAS TAKING PICTURES OUTSIDE THE TEMPLE. KAMDON'S FAVORITE PART IS RONI (MORONI). TAYLOR AND BRAXTON LOVED THE SEALING ROOM (TRIED TO GET UP TO THE ALTAR) AND THEY LOVED THE RECEPTION AREA WHERE WE GOT COOKIES. THEY WENT UNDER THE CHAIN AND TRIED TO PLAY THE PIANO. THAT WAS THE MOST ACTION THAT USHER HAD SEEN ALL DAY. I PRETENDED I DID NOT KNOW THEM. WE HAD A GREAT TIME BEING IN THE TEMPLE. IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXCURSION FOR THE GRANDKIDS.ALL SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN LOOKING AT THE CAMERA AND SMILING. I LOVE IT!!!

A GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL (a late post of Memorial Day Weekend)

Tydon Loved playing Kick Ball.
The whole family came to Idaho Falls for Memorial Day Weekend in anticipation of Elder Merrill's arrival home from the Ukraine.  We had a great weekend with some fun in the back yard playing games and then having a fire with Smores. 
Uncle Heath and Taylor working hard to start us a fire.
The three little boys (Taylor, Braxton and Kamdon) had a blast playing a game of Croquet.
