Happy Valentine's Day!

Last Sunday
1. We had Tammy & Olivia here and Chris's family to eat enchiladas and
celebrate Chris's birthday. We had a good visit, but no pictures.
Monday
We went with Chris's family and Steven & Isaac to the Provo City
Center Temple. It was so beautiful.
We talked to the older cousins with us and decided it would be fun to
do baptisms for the dead in that temple and then hike up
to Timpanogas Caves after. Keep it in mind:)  


2. Ahhhh the memories. Our old house at 409 East 200 North in Provo.
Chris told his kids he remembered playing an adventure game and
drinking water from the gutter. That must be why he is so healthy. 



3. Most of Chris's family had to go home, but we stayed with
Noelle, Steven and Mallory and went to BYU art museum to see
the Norman Rockwell display. It was amazing.

4. We grew up looking at his art work on the Saturday Evening Post
and Boys Life.

5. The frost this week has been incredible. It's so beautiful.




6. We went to the temple Wednesday with U. Marc and Ellen. Dad's
brothers and sisters go once a month. It was so good.

7. We got back in time for Scouts. They took a part a computer
and Dad explained it all. They all packed home their favorite pieces
from the computer. They really had a good time.

8. Then we went to Maddox for a Sons of Utah Pioneers meeting.
They are trying to get one up north in Tremonton area, so that
will be good for Dad.

9. We talked with Joe & Tesha tonight and it was so good
to see them all. Ellen and Daniel were here, so we had a nice visit.


10.  Ellen is showing. The baby sure kicked a lot tonight.
He knew he was at Grandma's and wanted to know where all the cousins were.

11. I made raisin filled cookies for Dad for Valentine's Day.
It's been way too long since I've made him some.

It's been a good busy week. In between all our comings and goings,
we have done a lot of cleaning. We still have about 7 boxes
of books in the Family Room ready to go to the DI.
You can actually walk into the Genealogy room and then walk around it.
We are getting rid of a lot of stuff. It feels good.
I hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day. 
This is a time we think about love - love for spouses, family,
and all people. 
"Charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found 
possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him." (Moroni 7:47.)
 I think the word 'of'' is interesting in this scripture.
It's the love of Christ (love we have for Him), and the love of Christ
(love He has for us). That is why it endures forever.
And as we "Pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, 
that ye may be filled with this love . . .vs. 48 (needs the rest of it)
This kind of love is a something to continually strive for, because then
we can truly love others.
