Brigham City Temple Open House

 We had the opportunity to got to the Brigham City Temple open house. Kellen has always wanted to go inside a temple and I am so grateful that we were able to take him and Karson. When we first entered the temple everyone was keeping their voices down and Kellen thought that Jesus was sleeping, because everyone was being quiet. As we were walking through the women's dressing room Kellen asked Trevor if we were in Jesus's bathroom. Kellen was so excited to be in Jesus' house. His favorite thing about the temple was the many beautiful chandeliers they had especially the chandeliers in the Celestial room. Karson also like the chandeliers he would point at them and say "this." The temple was beautiful! They had such beautiful pictures of the Savior, some that I had not seen before. Every time we saw a picture of the Savior we would point it out to Kellen, so Kellen would know that Jesus was there. It was an awesome experience to be in such sacred building where the spirit was so strong with my family. I could feel the spirit and I know Kellen and Karson could too. There is no where I would rather be than in the house of the Lord with my family. I look forward to the day when Kellen and Karson can go to the temple and make and keep sacred covenants with their Heavenly Father and enjoy the great blessings that come from doing so.

I love to see the Temple!

 Families are Forever.

My baby!

On our way home from the temple we got in a car crash in Draper. A lady ran in to the back of us on the freeway. The car doesn't look so great....but we are all ok other than some whip lash and Karson got a scratch and bruise on his cheek from hitting his face on the DVD player. They even had the ambulance come and check us out it was pretty crazy! Kellen slept through the whole thing! He had no idea! It could have been a lot worse and I am sooo grateful we are all ok!



Camping

This weekend was the opening of the archery elk hunt. Trevor is hunting this hunt and wanted to take me and the boys camping. My Dad and Mom offered to let us use their motor home and four wheeler to take camping and of course we couldn't pass up the offer! We had a lot of fun spending time as a family four wheeling, looking for elk and just being up in the mountains.

I could live up in the mountains I had so much fun with my family!

The sunset was beautiful. A great way to end a great day!

Karson playing with his truck at camp.

Kellen playing with Dad's head phones.

Kellen making a pickle with his fingers. Me and the boys play this game all the time, even little Karson makes a pickle with his fingers and says "tickle, tickle!" That's basically the game you say " break the pickle" and when the person breaks the pickle you make with your index fingers you tickle them and say "tickle, tickle!" I know it sounds really lame, but the boys love it and its funny to watch them do it.

Karson tickling Kellen.

Trevor cutting wood. I helped out a little bit by putting the wood in the truck and stacking it for him, but the boys got bored fast and so I mostly played with the boys I defiantly got the better end of the deal! Me and the boys had fun!

While Trevor was cutting wood I took the boys to the lake to throw rocks and play in the sand. While walking down to the lake Kellen stopped and picked me a flower he is such a sweet boy I love him!

Young Family Reunion

Grandma Fransworth's side of the family the Youngs had a family reunion down at the park. Before the reunion got started Trevor's family had some family pictures taken. We then had a delicious lunch together. I didn't stay much longer after lunch, because Karson was tired and ready for a nap and I would rather Karson have a good long nap rather then facing the wrath of Karson. My parents stopped by for a bit so it was nice to visit with them.

Trev, Stev, Rory, & Ryan had fun playing a couple of games of volleyball.

Kellen loved hanging out with Jess. Trev said that he also had fun at the games.

What handsome boys they are!

FHE and Seven Peaks

For a family home evening one night Trevor's family met at Mandy's for a yummy barbecue. After the barbecue we all went to the Manti pool and swam. The boys (Trev, Stev, & his brothers) had fun throwing each other in the water and having swim races. When we first got to the pool Kellen didn't want anything to do with the water slide, but some how Stev talked him into going on it with him and the rest of the night he loved it, Karson kept pointing at the slide so Trevor took him on the slide as well and he loved it!

Karson loves the water!

I love my boys!

Here they come!

After the boys were done swimming we got them in there PJs. There was music playing so Kellen started dancing. He is such a cute boy!

The next day me and the boys went to Seven Peaks with Cassie and her girls. I had only been to Seven Peaks once when I was like 12 for a Scow family reunion and I didn't remember much about it, except for a slide called the boomerang that scared the crap out of me! Some how Cassie talked me in to going on that slide with her, but it wasn't as scary as I remembered it. Most of the time we were there Kellen and Karson played at a little kid pool that had slides just their size. It was a fun day I am glad we got to go with Cassie and the girls.

Kellen going down one of the little kid slides. He loved it!

These girls are so much fun!

I had my share of going down the little kid slides with Karson, he couldn't get enough of it!

Scow Family Reunion

This year for the Scow family reunion we stayed in a nice cabin up in the Cedar Mountains right by Bryce Canyon. The cabin location was awesome it was in a secluded area with a nice yard and a beautiful pond right next to it! There was plenty of toys and fun things in the yard for the kids to play with. Kellens favorite was a castle play house. Us adults had fun playing some volleyball and playing a newly wed game that Shalee put together for us couples. We had fun taking the boys on a paddle boat ride in the pound as well.

Tiffany brought pop tops and some ribbon for us to make bracelets with the kids. This is Kellen and Tyson showing me their bracelets.

The bracelets were fun to make and I thought they looked pretty cool too!

I even made little Karson a bracelet. He didn't wear it much, but he liked to play with it.

Trevor and Nick showing off their mad bow skills....

You can just call him Robin Hood! Trevor shot an arrow that split an arrow he had shot before. This is a picture of Trev holding the arrows still stuck together. 

Cammie brought her bow as well, so I thought I would give it a go! Other than the pulling the string back part it wasn't so bad! I didn't miss the target so I guess that means I did ok....

Our little family getting ready to hike out to the waterfall.

The Family...except for Nick, Mason, and Korver....they kind of got cut out of the picture, but they are still part of the family!

The waterfall was coming out of a cave. Shalee and Kyle thought it would be fun to climb in the cave and so they did. The crazies!

My cute boys on the way back from the waterfall I just love them!

We also went in an ice cave that the pioneers had used to keep meat and other foods from spoiling. It definitely felt like you were standing in a big refrigerator!
