i love to see the temple.

The reason we made the trip was to attend my little brother, Nathan's first endowment session.  I felt the spirit so strong when I rounded the corner and the temple came into view. 
The mountains surrounding the temple and the new landscaping make it quite breathtaking!  I admit that when they announced a second temple in Provo I was really upset.  We drive 2 1/2 hours to the temple and I really want one closer to home in Ohio.  After remembering how busy Provo was the day we went, and how far other people have to travel to get to the temple, I repented quickly. 
Me with a few of my little sisters outside the temple.
My beautiful sister, Natalie.  I love her so.
Jake is the favorite uncle.  All of the grandkids love him.
Everyone that was there that day.  We missed everyone that wasn't able to attend.
Nate and my cute parents.
Nate and his birthmother.  She has been a part of all of our lives since he turned 18.  She is an incredible woman.  It has been so fun to get to know her.  We've taken her in as an adopted aunt. 
All of my cute brothers.
Kyle and Matt are the big teasers in the family... can you tell?  And Jake just loves having his picture taken.
{Almost} all of my siblings from oldest to youngest.  Just missing Marta and Lacey!  I'm sure Lacey was there...
This is why I love this boy... he brings out my crazy side.   He's going to be such an incredible missionary!  Watch out Kingston, Jamaica!
