Splash Pad

 We have had a lot of fun going to our splash pad here in La Grande and public swimming pool.. We also have gone to Jennifer's house and swam in their pool.. Paysen loves the water and loves to swim. The splash pad is his favorite. He walks all over in the water and loves the swings and the fountains.. Not so much the waterfall though :) He is such a water baby and never wants to get out. Alex had an afternoon off and so we went as a family one day until Daddy had to work the rest of the night.. We had so much fun!!

 Swimming at Jennifers.. He kicks and swims with both of his arms at the same time..

 Splash Pad Fun!! 

He loved the swings..

He loved just to splash in the water :)

 It was so fun to relax and watch Paysen and Alex play

 He loved running in a big circle in the swings and to chase momma and daddy.. He laughed hysterically the whole time.. So fun and cute

 I love being with my little man. And the fun things that we get to do daily

 We have a really fun market here that have huge ice cream cones for really cheap!!! So it was a must after swimming..

 Family date :)

Salt Lake City Temple~

The best part of our trip was when we were able to meet up with Joseph Harris ( My second to last baptism on my mission ) and Amy Stallings my old companion who I served with in Rolla Mo. It seriously was the cherry on top!! I had been missing my mission terribly the last few months and I kept just thinking I need to see someone from my mission.. I had mentioned that I was going to Utah and Joe was like I will be there the exact same week!! Such a tender mercy from Heavenly Father to me!! I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face forever! It was the best experience to be in the Salt Lake Temple and stand in awe of the beauty of that temple and the work that it took to build it. My Faith was definitely strengthened through this experience. It was so much fun to catch up with both of them and have them meet my husband. It was so fun to reflect on our missionary experiences and reflect on them. I enjoyed every min. of it. I couldn't of even imaged it to be soo good. I cant believe that his babies who were 3 and 18 months old are now almost 6 and three and a half! Its amazing how time goes by so quickly. There will always be such a special place in my heart for my mission and the people in it!
