I Love to See the Temple

That was and probably still is Weston's favorite primary song.  It was one that he and I would sing together at night as I tucked him in.  I used to tell him he had been to the temple and that he was sealed to mommy and daddy but he of course doesn't remember that day.  Boy I sure do; just like it was yesterday.  I remember being not only nervous for myself but super de duper nervous for my baby.  Weston was a huge momma's boy, a daddy's boy or a grandma's boy and the thought of strangers taking him and watching him while I was at the temple was a bit overwhelming.  The sweet sisters at the temple took such great care and when he entered the sealing room….simply breathtaking.  I knew that instant that my family was all that mattered to me.  Fast forward from April 26th, 1996 to July 5th, 2013.

Weston and Kaelton knew that since they got their mission calls that they wanted to go thru the temple together.  It was crazy hectic at first and I needed to just chillax (so glad Heidi is so calm and collected and reminds me to breathe) ~ The boys were able to find a date that worked for both of them and the families ~ July 5th.  What a wonderful, emotional day.  One that as a mom you look forward to, you pray about will take place and one that you will NEVER forget.  Seeing your child dressed in white is beyond words.

They boys were super excited a bit anxious of the unknown and Weston, like everyone, was wondering how in the world do you get used to the garments.  :)

and of course a few photos before they go in ~ Heidi and I waited outside for a bit and chatted.  it was wonderful.

 After the session was complete we all gathered once again outside to snap photos of the family and friends who were able to enjoy this day with us.  It meant so much to the boys to feel of the love and support.

After we went to Bella's in Farr West for some dinner.  Garett told the waitress that we were celebrating Tom and Shane's birthdays as well as Kaelton.  It was a riot.  Since Garett was so cute, he sweet talked the waitress into giving the whole party their very own birthday dessert ~ 

This was a day that will forever be remembered.  Thank you to family and friends who were there to support Weston and Kaelton and for those that missed it; know we missed you.  

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER
