We were in SLC for Bryan's Birthday this year. We played on Monday for Labor Day, he worked in his office on Tuesday, and Wednesday was his B-day and no one was working in his office that day so he decided to take the day off and make up the time that weekend so we could play some more and enjoy the day as a family. We wanted to take our kids to Temple Square. We had lunch at the Lion House and while walking there I saw one of my idols, Sherri Dew. I smiled and said "Hi" to her and she said it back. I have heard her speak in person before, read her books, and listened to her in conference--she is amazing. After our lunch we decided to go see the sites.
The kids in front of the Christus Statue.
Lexie took this picture of the statue.
Bryan was taking the above picture of me and the kids in front of the temple, then a nice lady took a picture of our family together. We are grateful for temples so we can be together forever!
Lexie loved all the flowers on Temple Square. She was smelling all of them, and ended up picking one to go in her hair.
The kids loved the fountains, but they wouldn't look at the camera.
On our way back to the car, we went and checked out the new Deseret Book across the street. Outside the store, there was another fountain that Lexie wanted to play in.
We did a little necessary shopping and then headed to Provo to meet up with Pete for Bryan's Birthday Dinner.
Here are the kiddos having fun in the car.
For dinner Bryan chose his favorite Los Hermanos. I forgot to get pictures inside with Pete because we were wrestling kids, but I got one of Bryan coming to the car. We had yummy food and it was a great way to end the trip and head home.
Lexie insisted we make Bryan a cake and sing to him, so the next day that's what we did. His favorite is white cake with chocolate frosting and we stuck a candle in there for fun. I didn't have 36 candles in the house. :) We love you Bryan and hope this is a fantastic year for you!
