This weekend we stayed at my sister's house in Highland because Darrell's test was in Orem. On Saturday we were going to go to Wyoming and stay with Darrell's brother's and then go to their baby's blessing on Sunday. Unfortunately, we ended up not going due to concerns about a winter storm. This morning they were actually requiring chains on all vehicle through one of the canyons we were suppose to go through to get to Rock Springs so, I guess it was best that we didn't go. Before we left my sister's house to head back home, Darrell was playing with my nephew Brigham. It was too cute, I couldn't help but take some pictures. Good pictures of Brigham are pretty hard to get because he won't hold still long enough to take the picture but I thought that I got a few good ones.

He loves cars! I thought he would end up loving princesses and barbies and all those girls things because his spends all day with his big sister and she is definately a girly girl!

In the bottom 2 pictures Darrell had been swinging and throwing Brigham up in the air and they were both having a blast! It was pretty dang cute!

Plumbing

This is going to be short because I really don't have a whole lot to talk about but.......
Today Darrell took his plumbing test (the written portion) to get his journeyman's licence and he passed. Wahoo!! One more test (the practical skills one) next Saturday and he will have his licence! YEAH!! Hopefully, along with the licence, he will get a pay raise. With work being slow he may not get it, but maybe!

This past weekend we took a little roadtrip up to Idaho for my cousins sealing. We split the trip up and stayed in Logan Friday and just drove up to Rexburg during the day and back to Logan Saturday night. They got sealed in the Rexburg Temple. It is a really pretty temple both inside and out, of course all temples are. We got to visit with my extended family for awhile, which we do not see very often so that was cool. On our way back to Logan we stoped off at the Idaho Falls temple and took some pictures of it. My parents, darrell parents, and I believe some of his brothers all got sealed in this temple.
So here is to you mom!

Unforunately we didn't have time to go in and do a session or anything we just went into the visitors center for alittle while and then took the pics and headed south. I did go in acouple years ago when one of darrell's cousins got sealed to her little family.







My mom read somewhere that the average LDS temple attender goes into 3 different temples throughout their life.
Of course the numbers would be different here in utah where all you have to do is drive down I15 and you can see at leat 10 of them, the other 4 or so you have to drive a ways to get to. I asked darrell how many temples he had done work in and he said that he had been to 12. I have been to St. George, which was the first one I had ever been to, Manti, Timpanogas, Logan, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and the Salt Lake temple. I have been on the temple grounds of many more but those are the only ones that I have been in. I know that, as long as darrell's work permits, in june my cousin is getting Sealed in the Boise temple so I will get to go there and then where ever my brother Nate gets married, either Utah, Arizona, or florida, I may get to go to a new temple then!
