Kansas City Temple Open House

Cousins at the Temple
I was so excited when they announced a temple would be built in Kansas City, Missouri.  Jared's brother and his family live in the area, and the temple open house was a great reason to go visit them.  It was so nice to take the kids to the temple.  Jared and I go to the Lubbock temple often and going to the open house was a nice way to explain to our kids why we make the effort to go to the temple.

The kids after the tour.  I love how Amy is leaning on Ian's shoulder.


What I would tell my Nana if I could:
When we were in the celestial room, Eric leaned over to me and said, "Mom, I have never felt the spirit stronger in my life."  Then while in the sealing room the boys both commented that they want to get married in the temple.  Those two comments made the entire trip worth while.  Now I can remind my children of the way they felt in the temple and encourage them to live in a way to be able to return there.



thank you Kate for the pictures...we left the camera in the car and had nothing!
