We still went and visited the visitors center and spent time on the grounds. The temple is so beautiful! The last full day we were there the temple was able to contact our stake president so we could get in. At least we made it once. It was still a wonderful trip and we got to know the visitor center really well.
On the last day while I was in the temple, Ryan and the kids got to watch Testaments. The kids really enjoyed it. After the movie they went out and were looking at the statue of Christ. Creed walked up and lifter himself up so he could see the Saviors feet. He stayed there for a long time and then felt them. Ryan had to ask him to get down but when he did he said that he could see the holes in the Saviors feet from when he was crucified. It was such a sweet moment.
Once we got back things went strait back to normal. One day we were eating a salad for lunch and Easton was telling us how much he hates spinach. We told him about Popeye and how strong he is because he ate spinach. Easton grabbed the bag and started chomping. When he was done he flexed for us and asked if he was stronger. Of course we all shouted exclamations of awe at his huge muscles. Now he wont miss a chance to eat spinach. Who would have thought it would be so easy?
Before. . .
after!
Monkey see, monkey do! All our kids are Popeye strong now.
Grandma Button sent the kids some valentine things and we just found some of the stickers that we were saving for a rainy day. This is how Creed plays with stickers, he gave himself "robot legs." This is why we usually don't let the kids have them all at once.
How many kids does it take to build a tower? They were so proud of this that they are sure they broke a record with it.
This is Beckhams first take of cake. It took him a while but finally he got into it. We really are easing up on the kids, they usually don't have a taste of cake until their first birthday. Oh how we spoil the youngest!

You guys are such a cute family-I love it!
Love the pics you guys. funny what kids do... eh? Hope you guys are looking for jobs back west so we can see you once in a decade.
Oh my - I know not to send stickers but blocks is a good one to remember! I'm with BEN C - start looking for jobs in the West! How we miss you all!!!
what a fun summer! Your kids are very very cute.
Glad you were able to make another temple trip- I really take being so close for granted sometimes! Seems like your kids all play really well together!
Wow! I loved DC and I'm jealous that you get to live close by. The 'muscle' pictures cracked me up, I loved the tower and the 'robot legs' are so awesome! Jenna loves to use stickers too, but always puts them on her arms and the walls and the back of her door. I love it when kids get messy with cake, so Beckham looks great. Curtis (my youngest) still rarely touches the stuff. He licks the frosting off and then tosses the rest at me. Yesterday I got cake in my hair that had just been washed. Oh well.
Lots of love,
Becca Hill
Oh Berni I miss you!!! I spent the afternoon at La Jolla Shores yesterday before the twins had mutual there that night. I missed being 16 again, scarfing down Godfather's, driving there in Wanda and having my best friend and fellow Lusty Lady by my side. I wouldn't want to start my teenage years again for anything but I sure wouldn't mind living one day "back in the day" again as long as you were there too.
