The misadventures of children and markers

This is what happens when you let a little girl get a hold of the markers. Yes, she did have paper, but apparently she found her neck, hands, and face to be a better canvas for her artwork. She loves to color and when her brothers get the art supplies out, you just CANNOT keep her out of them. (Please disregard the little boogies in her nose.)

At the church history museum

The church history museum had a special exhibit for children.

Kaelee found the nursery set up and played with the babies the whole time, she loves babies. That baby is almost as big as she is!

Parker found the stain glass window creator area fascinating.

Look at the way the "sun" shines through his window - amazing!

Briton enjoyed building temples.

Look at that beautiful building - I can't wait to go inside!

At Temple Square

This is the first we have taken the kids to Temple Square. They were totally amazed at everything there was to see and they loved it!

Briton, Kaelee, and mom - Parker was resting on the bench with dad.

2009 Winter Family Vacation

We went to Salt Lake the end of February. The kids got a kick out of the planetarium, I think they would have enjoyed the Discovery center even more, but we ran out of time.

Kaelee makes the perfect little martian face.

All three of the kids standing on the moon. Sometimes I wish we could have left them there!

Melanie, we love you!

Melanie Grace, 5 month old daughter of Thayne and Amber, was admitted to Primary Childrens' Medical Center in Salt Lake City on February 10 with a serious congenital heart condition known as Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA). She is having surgery at 7:30 am February 11 to corect the defect. The doctors can surgically correct the defect, but there is significant damage to the left ventricle of the heart, they won't know the full extent until after the surgery.
Anyone reading this, please pray for our beautiful niece and cousin that she comes through with flying colors!
