I Love to See the Temple

For FHE the other night we talked about temples. In the April 2011 General Conference, President Monson suggested that we have a picture of the temple in every room of our homes...so I decided to start with the boys' room. So for FHE we made our own temple pictures...kid style!

Here are the finished products: True Story #1: I asked Tracen to pick which Temple he wanted to make to put in his room and he said, "The Salt Lake City Temple, MOM!" ( a bit snotty as if I should have known) and I asked, why buddy (thinking he would say because it is where Chris and I got married...) but he replied, "Because that is where Grandma Maree lives and I miss her." Cute! For not being a cuddly buddy he sure surprises me with his emotional responses to things at times :)

Tracen's: Salt Lake City Temple

True Story (2): I used this site to help us with our quest...so I had Logan come over to pick which picture of the temple that he liked best...and he just picked...I didn't say anything I just said, which one do you like best. So what is so Ironic you say????

Logan's Temple: Logan, UT Temple (ha ha!)

I told him after what the name of the temple is that he chose and he thinks it is the best thing ever! So cute!!!

THE MAKING PROCESS!

PAINTING!

I finished the rest with modge podge and a few sealing coats....

So our treat? We made ice cream in a bag and it was pretty good. We had to shake the bags for 5 minutes...so I think the boys lasted 5 seconds...needless to say, I got my second work out for the day...

Shake...shake...shake!

Our ice creams....Tracen- Vanilla with chocolate sauce (red), Logan-Vanilla with oreos (yellow), Sara-Vanilla with peanut butter cups (blue) Now take a BITE

YUMMY! I know you love this hideous picture!
