When The Family Gets Together

My brother Lance and sister-in-law Sue Zan were in town from Georgia last weekend. Several of us in the family went to the Bountiful Temple on Saturday morning. It was a wonderful occasion, as we were there to do my dad's temple work. In case you're not a member of our church and are reading this and wondering what in the world I'm talking about, I'll explain. We believe that by performing ordinances in temples, we seal ourselves as families forever. If a person dies before doing this work himself, someone can later serve as a proxy and perform the ordinances in the temple on behalf of the deceased. It was a beautiful occasion, and I believe my dad was happy we did that work for him that day.

Sunday night, we got together at Jan's for dinner, fun and photographs, of course.

Maddy and Tempe had fun playing dress-up. Every time they put on a new outfit, they would come find me so I could take their picture.

Libby is not too sure what to think of that big camera in her face.


Tempe's pigtails look so cute, don't you think?

Katelyn explaining to everyone that she and Alex are getting ready to go outside and play 'Survivor Man'. Katelyn was a better survivor man than Alex...he didn't even bring a coat.
Helena is loving her first-ever taste of fresh pineapple. YUM!
Those eyes belong to Parker. I try to aim my camera and shoot before he can hide, but he's always too quick for me.
Mallory and Corinne look happy in their matching sweaters.
And finally -- a picture with me and my two older siblings.... Emphasis on older. Just kidding guys. You know I love you!! :)
