Draper Temple

It was a really neat experience for me to take my girls to the Temple. They have never been through a Temple before and it was exciting for me to teach them some things about this sacred place. I love the peaceful way you feel when you are in a Temple. After we were done I asked each of them what their favorite room was.

Lexi said that she loved all the rooms

MaKaya's favorite was the Brides room (who would have guessed)

Boo said, "Me favorite part of the Temple was the swimming pool in Jesus house".

Priceless

Puppies

Lexi loved the Brown girl, named Shelby
MaKaya's black boy Buster

Boo with all the puppies. There are 11

MaKaya crying on the way home because she couldn't keep her puppy

Our friend Jay's dog had puppies. Us Kearns girls are suckers for those sweet little things. We love puppies almost as much as we love babies. MaKaya picked out her favorite one. She wants a black boy and she has named him Buster. She is bound and determined that she is going to get this puppy. She begged to take him home with her. She promised she would feed him with a bottle and that I would take care of him while she was at school. She couldn't wait for him to sleep with her at night. She was coming up with all sorts of ways she could make money to pay for him.

We have had a few batch of puppies, and I am ready for some more. They are so cute, and so much FUN!!!

Annual Circus Fun

My girls (okay and myself) love the circus. All day long Boo told everyone how excited she was to see the elephants and how big their poop was. She watched the whole circus and right at the end just in time for the elephants she fell asleep. We woke her up three times and she would fall right back asleep. Right as the elephants were leaving they dropped a big one. I was sad for her that she missed the BIG event.

MaKaya and Lexi loved the pink and blue dogs. They loved watching the girls twist and dance with their ribbons.

I can't wait for next year!!

Aching for Bear Lake

A few weeks ago we decided to spend our Monday in Bear Lake. The drive there is as much of a tradition as the lake itself. Honking through the tunnel in Provo Canyon. Looking to see if the water has froze on Deer Creek. Stopping in Midway for a snack. Begging the truck drivers to honk their horns. Lets not forget to mention rolling down the widow to smell the fresh Wyoming air. I love driving through the little towns and wondering what it would be like living so far away from a mall or movie theatre. My favorite part of the drive is winding down the canyon waiting after every turn to see the magical view of lake. Then as we take that last corner there is the breath taking bluer than blue lake. Then our lungs belt out in song.
"Hello Mister Lake, Hello Mister Lake, Hello Mister Lake, many memories we'll make.
Our purpose for this day trip was to see the house we will be staying in this Summer. After taking a tour we had lunch at Merlins, the only place open in town. We ate our greasy hamburgers, and dipped our golden fries and onion rings, and sipped our very tastey Pepsi until our belly's were nice and full.
As beautiful as it is to see Bear Lake in the summer, this winter day was unbelievable. There were layers and layers of thick fog all over the trees and fences. It was so beautiful. The kids had a lot of fun hitting the trees and letting all the fog land on them.
We would love to wish the months away and start packing our bags for our magical week in Bear Lake this summer. It is something that my kids and I impatiently wait for year after year.
