Springtime in the Desert

Last week was our Spring Break!
And we went somewhere!

We went home to AZ.
Why? Weren't we just there?
Yes, but the Gila Valley Temple is having it's open house.
And you know how much my husband loves his Gila Valley.

Also, my mom is moving into her new house and she
needed a lot of support and muscles( mostly mine and my sister's)

to help her.



We also got to see Kurtis go out to his first prom.Isn't Laura's dress the cutest?

Ellie was so excited to be able to have an early birthday party with her cousins.Usually, Emma is the one who gets to celebrate with cousins. I think her favorite present was Ashtyn's gift of a manicure and hair styling. And to top off her new look, Olivia lent her best dress up dress.
Happy early birthday Princess!
It was so neat to take our girls to the temple open house. I got to go through the San Diego open house when I was a bit older than them and kept that memory of its beauty and special feeling close in mind when big decisions in my life came up. I was so grateful to be able to give that same kind of gift to my girls.
