Here are some photo's of the Brigham City Temple open house. Kirk and Kate were way excited. As you can see from the picture Benjamin was not as excited, in fact he didn't really want to go at all. I hate to make light of the temple, but I had to chuckle when Ben said that he didn't want to get baptized in the "pond". He said this really loud as we were walking through the baptisimal font. It was a great opportunity for our kids to see what a temple looks like on the inside. When our church builds a new temple they allow the public to walk through parts of it before it is blessed or "dedicated" as we call it for worship. It's amazing how hard it is to get four young kids through a temple open house. It wouldn't have been so bad except that Benjamin insisted that he be carried. You can't just allow a three year old to have a major temper tantrum in the middle of a temple. So he got his way. I carried Benjamin almost the entire time, and Dan carried Jence. It was still a neat experience to do as a family. Kirk informed me that he wants to get married in that temple, I was glad it made an impression on him. I hope the kids continue to make going to the temple their goal. I know that setting that goal early in my life has made a huge difference in the person that I have become, and also the values that I try to live each day. I know that going to the Temple brings me closer to Christ, I'm so grateful for the peace that I feel in God's holy house. 
I took this picture of Benjamin picking his nose,
then showed it to him, that's how I finally got him to smile in
this photo above!
