What a Great Weekend

We had such a great weekend!! It feels like we haven't done much lately, with all the moving and new "jobs" and such. Brian has also been working a lot on the weekend to make up for the days he missed when we moved. But this weekend was great!
It started Friday night going to the Draper Temple open house with our friends Rachel and Cole. It was so neat. What a beautiful place. It was really fun to go with Rachel and Cole because they've never been inside a temple, so it was a great opportunity to teach them a little bit about what makes the temple so important to us. I think my favorite part was showing Rachel the sealing room, explaining how special a sealing really is, and showing her the eternal mirrors. It makes me want to be there every day!!

Then the next morning we got out in the beautiful mountain air and went snow shoeing. We were a little hesitant to take Kyler. We haven't taken him on a hike since he's been really able to walk on his own. I was worried he'd hate being carried around when he feels perfectly capable walking on his own. But he did great!!! As long as we kept moving he was happy.

We took the Dog Lake trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon, we go about a fourth of the way up the packed trail, then we blaze our own trail down into the ravine, and follow that out of the canyon. It was a beautiful day, and the powder was perfect! This picture was perfect, because Cole was teasing Rachel about falling not two seconds earlier, and then he totally biffed it himself...Karma.

Stopping for a snack.

The cutest couple ever...Rachel and Cole

Brian and Kyler, as cute as ever!

We came across this pretty steep hill. We all had a pretty good time getting down it. Technically I guess this isn't really snow shoeing....more like skiing.
