Draper Temple Open House

We went to the open house at the new Draper Temple. It was beautiful. The kids really loved it. They were so excited that they were going to go inside the temple! They had a real reverence about them there. After we toured the temple we went in a stake center right by the temple. These pictures are from there. They had a wall full of pictures of other temples and a map of where they are all over the world.

Handsome Camden. (A tie only lasts so long with him)

Here they are checking out the Temples around the world. (With cookies in hand)

The bus ride back to our car at another church building. We sat at the very back of the bus.

Cracking the Code!

After our Monster Truck show we went to dinner at Trolley Square. There are two huge safes in an area there. While Will took Blake to the bathroom Camden and I each took a safe and tried to open them! There were 100 numbers on the dial. We were playing like we were secret agents with our ear up to the door listening for a click as we turned the combination lock back and forth. I tried one safe and Camden had the other. Then we switched back and forth a few times. A security lady walked by I said to her, "I bet you know the combination to these!" She said she didn't know it and she didn't think anybody knew it - people always try. After she left, Camden pulled his safe that he was working on, and...IT OPENED!!!! We were SO shocked! We laughed so hard! The inside was giant! A person could have fit in there. It was a little eery so we closed it back up (after we showed Will and Blake). Once we closed it I thought, maybe it always opens with a few turns of the dial. I tried it again. Nope, it was securely locked! We have no idea what the secret combination was but, it was opened and here is the proof!!! CRAZY!

Valentine's Day Monsters!

For Valentine's Day we went to a Monster Truck Show with some friends from our ward. We had a great time! The boys LOVED it! It was SO loud they really liked their earplugs too. (They handed them out as we came in...I didn't think they would wear them but they did the whole time!) Enjoy the show!

Camden and the Snowy Day.

We woke up this morning to a peaceful white snowy morning. Camden and Will started the morning by shoveling the snow in the driveway. Then Camden stayed outside to wait for the snow to make the snow mound get bigger! He laid on it for a while with mouth wide open eating snow as it fell. (This is one of the hills that was a sledding hill and a fort! They have been dying for it to snow again so they can build a snow fort again!!)

Here is one of our great snow plows.

Then Camden had to test out the trampoline with snow on it. He was eating more snow as he got off. (Lisa, we put the trampoline up on Saturday....there was no snow on the grass that day. If you want your trampoline back, we're still just borrowing it!! Come up and get it!! :0)

Camden and his friend from across the street have been riding their bikes or scooters to school everyday. Today they walked in the snow.

Off to school they go!! What a pretty morning!

When school got out wet snow was blowing like crazy in the direction the boys would be walking home, so I picked them up today. They had a snowy day schedule by staying in for recess doing puzzles and later watching a movie. Just like the good 'ol rainy days.

Just Playing Alround...

It started snowing a few Sundays ago, just lightly, and the boys were so excited! They got out every one of our little bowls and cups to catch snow for snow ice cream! After half the day they didn't get much, but the next morning there was maybe 2 inches of snow in each little bowl and cup that quickly melted and turned into ice. So, no ice cream but it was a great idea!
