Sealed, Blessed, and the Pioneers

This weekend we were able to take Nathan to the Provo Temple and have him become a part of our Forever Family. For those of you who are not part of the LDS faith- We believe that the family is not only together on this earth, but in the life to come and the temple is the key to this. We were surrounded by friends and family who love us and Nathan and Olivia.  He is such a sweet little spirit that has come into our lives and changed us for the better. 

My mom made Olivia's dress and it was perfect. She has been excited for weeks telling everyone, including complete strangers that she was going to the temple. She got new white shoes, a new white dress, and mommy found her a necklace and a bracelet-she looked just like a princess.

  

 It was a crazy day for me and I didn't get any pictures on my camera. Brittany got a couple of my kiddos and we had some professional ones taken that I should have in a couple of weeks -stay tuned.

After the temple we had Nathan's Blessing (Christening) at our house followed by lunch.  It was a wonderful day  and we are so grateful for everyone who came and shared the special day with us.

Over the 24th (Pioneer Day) weekend we went to Monroe, Utah to spend the day with Scott's family.  Scott's great great grandpa settled in Monroe and the town has a huge 24th of July celebration.  Saturday morning we got to see the parade and then played with cousins all afternoon.  What a fun day!

This is all the Magleby cousins (minus Aria) and I thought this picture was great- not one of them were looking right at the camera.

Nate with his fire truck he got at the parade.

Here are two cute pics of the kiddos from the last two weeks.  Olivia is the craziest sleeper I know.  Here is she is on the couch-yes she slept that way.

Here is little Nate showing off his two bottom teeth- such a cutie.

We got Nate's room done last week before everyone came over.  Here is the the finished product... at least for right now.  It is still a work in process, but I really like how it turned out .
