Anyway, we're going through the temple and everything is just gorgeous, I loved the star shaped chandeliers. They were absolutely gorgeous. Gehrig did really well through out the whole thing. But when we got to the sealing room and sat down, he started to get a little antsy. At first my mom was holding him and he was wiggling, so she set him down so he could look around. About 10 seconds later, he's on the alter. We immediately grab him and tell him No. But, he has quite the will power, so a few minutes later, and he's on the floor again, just looking at the areas he's not supposed to get on. He's already been yelled at once for the alter, so he steers clear of that and creeps up on the white carpet that is right next to it. He takes a step, looks at me and I shake my head No...then he looks at him mom, who also shakes her head No. Takes a step forward, hesitates, looks both directions again, gets a huge grin on his face, and jumps! Now...I know this is supposed to be a quiet moment, but I couldn't help but laugh. I just couldn't believe the grin that came across his face before he did something he knew he wasn't supposed to do! It was so funny! Anyway...I'm so glad I got to be there with my family. The temple was awesome, I hope everyone gets a chance to go and see it.

~Temple Open House~
So, a couple of weeks ago, Randy and I had the opportunity to help serve in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open house. It was a absolutely great experience, however, since ours was the last shift, we didn't get the chance to actually go through the temple. Well, I can always count on my mom. :) A few days later, she called me and told me that they had tickets and that we were all invited to come. yay! So Saturday, after a very long day, my family, except my brother who couldn't make it, met at the temple for the open house. It was a lot of fun seeing my nephew light up when he looked at it. My brother-in-law taught him who lives in the temple so now when you ask him he says "Jesus." He's so cute!

~Scuba Diving and the 4th of July~
So...most people that know Randy know how much he loves to scuba dive. It is one of the few physical activities that actually excite him. After we got back from the Bahamas and he went scuba diving with his dad, it's been non stop pressure from him to get certified and go with him. For a really long time I refused to get certified because mostly...I'm terrified of water. ha! Not so much of being in the water...but being under the water. If I could have my nose plugged there would be no issue...but since I can't...it seriously freaks me out. But, I have t
o admit, I was rather jealous that Randy and his dad had so much fun, and I wasn't there to share in it. So...Randy has agreed to help me conquer my fear of water and I agreed to get certified (This will be a picture of me one day! ha!). We didn't have any plans for the 4th, mostly because any holiday is a work day for Randy...but such is life. He wasn't supposed to get off work until 7pm, which pretty much shoots the sugar house park fireworks idea. So...we just planned to stay home and just hang out. However, Randy got off a little early, and with it being extremely hot, we headed for the pool. Luckily, (with it being the 4th and all) the pool was practically deserted, leaving me to figure out how to swim without the fear of being mocked by little fearless kids. Randy thought I did really well. He was like "your not hyperventilating or anything!" Yeah...not on the outside! A
nyway, after about a hour and a half in the pool, I was able to go under the water and not freak out too bad. So...I'm thinking this certifying thing will be easier then I thought. But then again...3 feet is WAY different then 30. :) After my swim lesson, we went back to the house and watched a movie. Then we started to hear some fireworks go off and Randy got all antsy. I told him that I had some fireworks in the car (they had been there for like 3 years) that he could light off, since we couldn't really afford any this year. Next year, Randy decided that we're going up to Wyoming and spending like $300 on real fireworks and blowing some stuff up. ha! So...all in all it was a pretty good weekend...I conquered my fear, and Randy got to light some stuff on fire. Hope everyone had a great 4th!
