my boys

Wade has the calling of organizing clean up for the church. The boys love to clean the church! So yesterday after we got the church cleaned we gave them the choice of driving up the canyon or going to Temple Squar . of course they chose the temple. They love going there. Well we had so much fun. First thing was going to see the statue of Christ. The boys were so excited they ran all the way up the ramp. My heart fills with joy seeing how happy it males them. They love to go look at him and touch his feet. Matthew always tells us facts he learned in church and Russell repeats them. Well I was sitting down with Eva and saw Russell was talking to what I thought was the statue. When he was done he came and sat next to me with his arms folded and a frown on his face. I asked what was wrong and he said that heavenly father wouldn't come give him a hug. I said to him that it was just a statue made of rock. He looked at me and said"not that mom!" Heavenly father! And pointed up. He won't come give me a hug. That's when without thinking I told him that's why God gave you a mom. Whenever I hug you that is a hug coming straight from heavenly father. He got a big grin and threw him arms around my neck and gave me a big hug. I got a lot of hugs the rest of the day.

After that we went on to play at the museum for a bit and then to the reflecting pond. After that we went to "Johnny Rockets" for some burgers. It is a great place and lots of fun. Then back to the house and made some smores. It was a great day.
