The Oquirrh Mountain Temple Tour

The whole family went to the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple tour on Saturday, June 13th. It was so beautiful. When you go, be sure to look close at the windows. They have stars and moons or suns in them. The glass chandeliers were all stars and were so beautiful. You could really feel the spirit as soon as you got there. We all met after I got home from work and then drove over together. My daughter Kelli, her husband Nic and their two kids, Emily and Michael, my daughters Mecqae and Holli, my son Tom and his wife Stephanie and their little one Krista, my wife Cheri and Cheri's Mother Ann and of course myself were all there. Holli invited her friend Dezi and her mom and dad and brother to join us. It was very special to spend time with family and friends in the new temple. We all went to dinner afterward at Gecko's. It was a great evening!

The Thunderbirds




We went to Hillfield Air Force Base to see the Thunderbirds on Saturday, June 6th. It is always exciting to see all of the airplanes on display and to see the air show with all of the planes doing their aerobatic tricks. The best part is the Air Force Thunderbirds. I have been going to their shows off and on since I was very young. It never gets old and is always very exciting. This year I was able to go with Tom and Stephanie and of course Krista. Krista seemed to love it. Tom and Stephanie put ear protection on her because it is very loud at times and she just sat there with these things on her ears and looked at the planes fly by. I love airplanes and cars and this is always one of the highlights of the year for me. The only downside is the thousands of people and the traffic. It took an hour to just get out of the parking lot. All in all it was a GREAT DAY!
