Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

The Draper Temple






Saturday morning we had the opportunity to go to the temple open house. It was beautiful. Rebecca's favorite room was the baptismal font. Maybe she just likes water?? Steph loved the brides room but then when we were in the celestial room she was amazed. It was fun to be in the temple with all of our kids. I was trying to show Rebecca the mirrors in the sealing room but they were shooing us out too quickly. We teased Ryan about the groom's dressing room. You know a locker, though there is a mirror in there. ha ha

I know that I posted that some of us had gotten haircuts here they are too.

I love the family picture. William asked me to make it bigger and he wanted me to scroll down so he could see the girls' dresses too.
