Coolest High Preist Activity Idea EVER!!!!!!!

The goal for our stake this month was to bring at least one family name to the temple to do their work and the branch got invited to participate in the 1st wards High Priest Activity.  I know you are all thinking that know but Seth is not a high priest.  So why did we go to the activity??  The High Priests decided to have their activity at the temple watching the kids for the Elders.  It was so amazing of them to do that.  The kids got to enjoy the temple...it was so fun.  They took them all around the grounds told them a little bit about the temple and took them down to see the dug out that is close to their.  Let them play in the puddle that was their.  It was so much fun.  I loved it too.  We got to go and do Baptisms and Conformations for my family members.  The spirit was so amazing.  You could just feel how happy they were and the joy in their hearts that was just ringing out.  I had never taken a name that I had researched out let alone my own family member.  It was so awesome!!!  I love being able to see my cute husband in white....he always looks so handsome.  I had not done baptisms in the manti temple since I was youth and it was so fun to be their with my cute husband this time and to have him be able to do the baptisms.  Their was another youth their that had family names too...the spirit was so amazing there.  So we all were able to have a wonderful temple day all together at the temple because the High Priests were willing to do an amazing service.  After we got done in the temple we walked around the temple together as a family.  Marisa loved telling us were they went while we were in the temple.  I love this temple!!!  It brings back so so so many wonderful memories...my youth trips, trips to the manti pageant and more then all of those the day Seth and I were married there.  It was fun to take photos with the kids in the same place that we did when we were married.  It was such an amazing day. 
I love these little kiddos and so glad that we have these two!!!  They look so cute in front of the temple.


We already had a photo in this very spot but I hope to get many more as the years go by in this very spot!! 


We could not resist the temptation...huge puddle....their is the force that just makes you want to jump in...so....we did!!!

I remember not so long ago climbing those very steps....






That is my posing girl!!  :D

It was so fun to walk around with the kids and it brought back many memories for Seth when he would come with his grandpa guymon and do the very same thing.  The kids chased all kinds of grasshoppers!!!  They were everywhere!!!  They also found sticks...and as soon as Skyler found it he said "sward, sward"
After the temple they invited us to go and get Pizza in town that was super yummy!!  I know that I said it so many times to all the high priests that were their but I will again....thank you, thank you soooooo much for giving our family this amazing opportunity to be at the temple all together.  It was such a memorable day for us!!!

The Results of War....

This is one of those moments that I think they were acting out the Book of Mormon in real life...lol...The battle was ragging and everyone was involved...then mommy had to leave for a moment but was soon called back in by....the dead???  Yep I came back into the room to see all of them on the floor...motionless...ok maybe it was only somewhat motionless  and of course I had to take a photo.  :D  Oh what a battle. 
Maybe we will have to act out the story of Abinadi just for Aunt Toni's Sake...no worries though we will try to find an alternate source of fire....instead of the real thing.  :D
