What a day!!! Easter weekend. We decided to have Lili sealed to our family in the Logan LDS Temple on Saturday... what an amazing experience!!! We knew it would be difficult for friends to attend but had some siblings say it would be easier to work around spring breaks.We started the day with a very quick Easter egg hunt (3 minutes long :) ) with the Vela family, then we drove to Logan for Linner (late lunch and early dinner) at El Toro Viejo, the sealing of Lili, her blessing, and then ice cream at Charlies. It was an amazing day!!! Lots of emotions! We had so many family members (and missed those that wanted to attend but could not), Bishop Miller and Shelly, and the Renchers. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing day with us!!! We are so blessed to have Lili part of our Eternal Family!
Here are several photos from the day (notice our lovely apartment that we lived in while Scott worked on his Master's Degree... this was Mckenzie's first home)

Davis shared with us in class about your trip to the temple. I'm sure it was a beautiful day. You have such a beautiful family. :0)
ReplyDeleteI went to Utah State, so your pics of Logan brought back some memories! :0)
Melanie!!!! WOW!! What an awesome day that must have been for you and for your family. That is so awesome! Just a few years ago we were right there in Logan and now we are clear across the US. I can't wait to get together with the family again.. ALL OF US!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the girls in the fridge is crackin me up! They are precious!
I love the refrigerator picture! They are both adorable and that does seem typical. We had a great time--thanks for letting us stay and stay. We had a great time. I talked about the sealing in YW today and got rather emotional about the whole lovely thing. Thanks for sealing that great girl to our whole family! We love her-along with the rest of you, of course. Hope you are doing o.k.--you are in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you to have her sealed to your family, and what a neat experience for the other kids. We're very happy for you all. She is such a cute and smiley little girl. Nice to see this great post!
ReplyDeleteFinally! I think Heidi and I checked this blog about 4 times a day since we came back from Logan. We were wondering if you were sick or not doing well because we are used to always having something to read or look at a couple times a week.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are awesome. Whoever took them did a great job. It was fun to get everyone together and thanks for inviting us all to share the day with your family.
We love you guys.
N8 & Heidi

.Wow! what a special Day. I can't believe you fit all of that into one day. Love the pics of the Logan Temple. Great memories. Anyway, Congrats on being an Eternal mother of 5 Beautiful Children. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful day for you guys!! We are so happy for you! Wish we could have come.
ReplyDeleteI totally remember that apt. in Logan. I must have been only eight though! Ryan and Tanya lived right next door.
That pic of the girls in the fridge is hilarious. That is Mia's new favorite thing to do too. I can't keep her out of there! Love your family so much! -leslie and tavis
