Family Weekend

What a memorable weekend we've had! We headed on over Burley, Idaho to watch Nate's mom (Grandma Lee Lee) and two of my brother in laws compete in the Spudman Triathlon. It was my first time being at a triathlon. The ENERGY in that place was indescribable! Nate wants to participate it next year and he is trying to talk me into doing it with him. We'll just have to see about that.

Here is a picture of Logan, Justin and Lee after the race was over! WAY TO GO GUYS!

Of course the kids were THRILLED to see their only cousins!

After the race we headed over to the Twin Falls temple open house. What an amazing experience it was to be in the temple with our whole family. I leaned over to Dallin in the celestial room and asked him what he was feeling. His response was, "I feel very happy in my heart." The temple was absolutely beautiful inside and out. I am so grateful to be a member of the church and to know that I can be with my family forever. Nothing brings me more "happiness in my heart!"

The fun didn't end there! Lee, Aunt Susan, Ashley, Kelsey, and Brittany (all of my sister in laws) came up to good old BOISE to hang out for a couple of days! We had so much fun on our little "girls only" retreat. It was great to just sit around and chat together with no husbands or children to worry about. We checked out some houses for Kelsey, floated the Boise River, and we went up to Garden Valley to watch "Oklahoma" at the Starlight Theatre. It great having so much family around...it made me sad to see them all go today.

I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family and to have married INTO such an amazing family. Thanks for coming up girls....I'm thinking we need to make this a tradition!
