My kids at the temple

Nov kicked off with some really special days! Brielle is preparing for baptism so we hired our amazing photographer, Alex, to capture this beautiful moment! After showing Bri a few pictures of temples that were close enough to do her shoot at, she decided on Bountiful, because she is a 'nature girl' and it looked like Bountiful was in the mountains in nature. I loved that. So we headed off to Bountiful on a beautiful fall day. 

I'll be honest, i had a winter shoot in mind for Bri with her Dec birthday and baptism in Jan, but sunshine and fall leaves was pretty great too. No matter what season, the temple grounds are gorgeous!

I love this beautiful, pure girl!

Alex is always so great with my kids. She is incredible at what she does and is always taking breaks to show the kids the picture in the camera!

And she goes to great lengths to get the perfect shot!

Bountiful also has a big B on the mountainside. We were hoping to get that in the background of some but just didn't quite have the right light. But that made this place even more special!! B for Brielle & Bountiful!

I'll share her images in the next post. 

I also stole Carter out of school for a mom and son temple trip! I really enjoy these days and can't wait for Mol to join us next year. 

We went bowling at Scheels real quick and he talked me into lunch at the Olive Garden 

 I love taking my kids to the temple and try to do it every chance I get. My hope is that it will help them know the importance of going to the temple and make it a goal to always be worthy to enter. It is the closest place to God on earth that we can be and obeying its covenants you enter into there will bring you the greatest happiness you can find. I hope all my kids will strive to be temple worthy!!
