"You will experience great joy in life as you eradicate adult-onset pessimism and substitute childlike optimism."

Here is to a new year of being more optimistic and more like my amazing children. They teach me everyday about how to be better.

The List and a Temple Trip

Last night we had a free Friday. Matt came home early and everyone seemed like they wanted to get out. Where to go on a Friday night as a family? We decided to go to the temple and eat some of our favorite treats on the lawn of the stake center. The boys enjoyed it and then we took them over to the temple to touch that awesome building. 

President Monson said in order to help build a testimony of temple let them go and touch it. Let them be around it. I remeber loving having the bountiful temple so close to me growing up. It definitely was a place of refuge and comfort. I can only hope the boys will be better than me and appreciate it even more than I did. 

Touching the temple as brothers. 




Can you guess whose snack is whose? 

Also, looks like my list if talks is getting too big for me, so I decided to close it off and make another list so I don't lose any of these.
