Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Temples and Trails

Kyle and Miranda got sealed in the Rexburg Temple on Friday, July 26. Cortney came up and rode with us to Rexburg on Thursday night so she could attend the sealing with us.
It was a wonderful ceremony. Cortney and I also went to the Logan temple the week before when Miranda received her endowments.


The are such a cute couple!
We then had family pictures at the temple after. We then went over to a church for the luncheon. It was delish and the Father's said a few words. I wish I could have heard Jon better but they did a good job.
The church was decorated so cute! Miranda likes old things and the room was just darling.

This was the first time that Doran and I were able to visit the Rexburg Temple.


It was pretty warm and when Daddy shed his jacket I caught this picture.


After the luncheon we went back to the hotel and changed in Jon and Denise's room and headed to Driggs. Cortney came with us for the whole weekend. 
Jon and Denise have a condo up there and since no one was using it we decided to stay there and visit Jackson, Wyoming.
They have their old kitchen table up there and when anyone visits we sign our names on the table.


Well since Bar J was sold out we decided to go to Merry Piglets for dinner Friday night.
This is one of our favorite Mexican places to eat. 
It has fabulous salsa!
(We actually bought some to bring home with us)


We were planning on going for a run somewhere but we were unfamiliar with the area.
We decided that we would go up to Targee, as Jon suggested, and run some trails up on the ski hill.
It was over cast when we started and ended up raining but it was nice and cool.


We got lost a couple of times thinking we were on one trail but we ended up on another but they all brought us back to where we started.

It was BEAUTIFUL up there!
I would like to go again and maybe with a GPS instead of just the map we had.




I wish we would have started this sport when all the kids were younger but it is nice to have Cortney join us.



Our poor shoes got so muddy.





We ran/walked for about an hour on the trails and headed back.
When we got back to the parking lot we decided that we would take turns running down the canyon and driving.
I took first driving shift while Daddy and Cortney ran.



After a couple of miles Cortney and I switched places. I wanted to see if my heel could handle the downhill.



We decided to call it quits after a couple more miles. 
The rain was really coming down.

Cortney is a mess
We had a fun time running in the rain!

After our run we went back to the condo and cleaned up and headed back to Pocatello for Miranda's reception. It was held in a nursery and it was so cute!
They served cookies and milk and cereal!!

We headed home after that.
What a wonderful weekend we had!
