Eth is 6!

Ethan turned six on March 19.  He was so happy when the day FINALLY arrived!  He couldn't wait to celebrate with his kindergarten friends.  He brought cupcakes to share with them . . . 

and he made a poster about himself to hang up in his classroom . . .

 He has been asking to wear his soccer medal to school every day since kindergarten began.  I promised him he could wear it on his birthday . . . he felt super cool with it on!

Later, we went to see "Zootopia" with Grandpa and Grandma Dalby!

Ethan wanted me to take his picture in front of all the awesome movie posters . . . 

Then we headed to his favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-A, for dinner . . .

Cake and presents at our house . . .

We love our Ethanator so much!  He has such a pure heart . . . there's not a mean bone in that kid's body.  We're so grateful to have him in our family.  Happy Birthday Eth!!

Provo City Center Temple

We took the kids to the Provo City Center Temple open house.  This was their first time inside a temple, and they were super excited to go! We got up at 4:30 in the morning to beat the crowds. Even getting there before the temple opened, there was a long line of people waiting to get in.   The kids were such troopers!

The temple was beautiful!  Jason and I remembered all the concerts, graduations and stake conferences we attended there when it was still the tabernacle.  The kids' favorite parts were the baptismal font and the stained glass window of Christ holding a baby lamb.  Livi said, "I had a special feeling inside of me when I looked at that window."  They also loved the fountains outside.

Our souvenir photo the cute sister missionaries took of us . . . 

It was awesome to walk through the temple as a family and let the kids feel the spirit that was there.  Now Joshua and Livi are super excited to be a part of the dedication in a few days here.  We love to see the temple!
