One of the things I really wanted to do before summer ended was take the family up to the Ogden Temple open house. I have always felt a connection to the Ogden Temple even though I have never been inside. It is the temple where my parents were married and the temple where my Grandparents served for years and years.
We took Jerika with us because I was absolutely sure that these 3 boys of mine were going to be wild and rowdy during the 1 hour temple tour but even though the temple is not yet dedicated I know that the boys could feel the spirit that is already there! They were so good throughout the entire tour...even pointing out pictures they liked or things they thought were cool! I was also so impressed with the temple and am so excited for the Payson temple to open in the next few months so that we can enjoy the blessings of the temple more often!
Paxton was pretty excited to get his own little picture of the temple...I'm sure it has found its way to his "collection" pile by now!
It was a great day for our family to be together and to give ourselves an opportunity to teach our children a little bit about temples and what a blessing they are to our family!
