The Lord's House

 

i was going through all my pictures from utah and i came across this picture taken from the joseph smith building.  look how the reflection of Jesus Christ is perfectly on the center tower {not sure if they're called towers}.....amazing!!

rock on lavon!

this is my grandma howard & lavon. technically he's my grandpa, but i just met him this winter when we were in utah and it feels a little weird calling him "grandpa". he's a quiet man and still has a very keen mind. he turned 100 a few weeks ago!

congratulations & happy 100th birthday!!

TEMPLE SQUARE 1/2/09

Today we went to THIS IS THE PLACE, The Conference Center and Temple Square. We also saw the Joseph Smith movie. The kids and I had already seen it, but this was Trinidad's 1st time..... I cried even more then the first time. Tyler was deeply touched by the movie again and he just held Kennedy after the movie. That was when she actually shed tears. During the movie she just kept watching all three of us to see when and if we were crying. I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
THIS IS THE PLACE


CONFERENCE CENTER


TEMPLE SQUARE


When we were leaving the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg, it started snowing. The "lights" were not on, bummer, but it was still beautiful.

SOLDIER HOLLOW 1/1/09

Waiting for our turn to be pulled up the hill



Joy riddin' up the hill.

Uncle Rick took us tubing at Soldier Hollow. It was me, Trinidad, Tyler, Kennedy, Uncle Rick, Kiley, Eric, Brandon and his wife Belinda. Soooooo much fun!! Here are the videos...

A TRIP TO GRANDMA HOWARD'S HOUSE

We went to visit Grandma Howard (Vernon) in Provo. My kids nor Trinidad have met her and it's been well over 20 years since I've seen her. She will be 89 on January 15th and Lavon will be 100 on May 5th. They are both doing so well. It was nice to be able to take pictures with them.

HAPPY 2009!!!!

HAPPY 2009!
We finally made it to Orem and then we were immediately off to The Howard's in Lehi for a lots of yummy food and games. The kids did snow angels.

COVE FORT 12/31/08

The kids and I had been to Cove Fort before, so we decided it would be great for Trinidad to see it as well, especially in the Winter. Oh my gosh, it was so beautiful.
