Weekend Fun

At the beginning of the year Kirk, Kalen and I set out to make our Temple Goals.  Since Kalen can perform some ordinances at the Temple now, Kirk and I go once a month on our own and every other month we take Kalen to the Temple. 

On Friday our dear friends Mark and Thira were taking their son Dell to the Temple for his first time and invited us to go along.  It worked out perfectly since we were already set to go with Kalen this month. 
 

 

This is the lobby right before you go into the temple.  It's the only place you can take pictures, besides outside.
 

 

 

I can't express what a joy it is to be with my oldest son in the Temple.  In the LDS religion we believe that families are forever and so when we are married in the Temple we are "sealed, for all time and eternity."  As we teach our children they learn to love the Temple as well. 

I am so thankful to see Kalen have love and respect for the Temple.  And I am thankful to see him honor and serve his Father and Heaven by performing the ordinances that he can as a twelve year old.  I will always look forward to being at the temple with my family and dear friends.  I hold these memories dear to my heart.
 

Switching Gears, no pun intended :)...It has been so beautiful here in California the past few days and on those days one of our favorite family outings is to bike to the lake. 
 

 

 

 

Almaden Lake/Park is about a mile and a half from our house.  It has a great path to follow.

 

 

With all of our bikes it looks like we're in Amsterdam.
 

You will never find Gwyneth has gone anywhere without a book.  No siree' where there is a Gwyneth, there is a book.  Always.
 

Watching America's favorite pass time sport, Baseball.
 

 

We had the best weekend.  We got to be with our best friends, enjoy being together as a family and enjoy the sun.  This was our weekend fun.
