A BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY OF FAMILY TIME

We had the most wonderful day today, I wish it wouldn't of had to end! Christine invited us to go to the Joseph Smith movie at the Joseph Smith Memorial building and it turned into an all day event.

After seeing the movie we took the opportunity to try and have family pictures which didn't turn out so great. We got some great pictures of some and not so great of others. I shot this one of the two boys looking at the temple. Future missionaries for sure.

We ate lunch at the Lion House and then went to the Joseph Smith Memorial building and just sat in the lobby and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and talked and laughed together. Then we went over to the Visitor's Center and checked some things out there and after that we came home and played some games and snacked a little until it was time for the old and the young to go to bed.

We live in such a beautiful state with some beautiful sights to see and enjoy. But always my most favorite are the Church historical sights. Such a wonderful feeling there and I am so grateful to so many that went before us so that we could have what we have today. I am thankful that they were all that they could be so that we can be all that we need to be.

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
