Brigham City Temple and Lagoon!!!

What a weekend!
We went to the Brigham City Temple open house on Friday night, and we loved it. It was a long wait, but soooo worth it. It is so beautiful, and has so much little detail. Every temple is beautiful, but every one has such little details that make them such a different experience.
When we got up to the shoe covers, Ryker had the hardest time, I felt bad for the girl putting them on him, I just said please put them on, while Ryker was kicking and crying sooooo loud. I then said try being the doctor who gives him a shot and she started laughing.
Ryker did leave them on the entire time, but I was worn out. I held him the entire time, all 42 pounds of him.
We went to my sisters home, and let the kids sleep in the same room as their cousins, because we thought they were so tired they would go to sleep. They did, and so did the parents.
Hailey gave me a note the morning after, thank you leting us sleep offr we love it.
Then it was off to Lagoon. We had such a fantastic time. It was the best day, no wind, and very sunny.
We rode so many rides. Ryker: helicopters, swings, puff, baby boats, bulgie the whale, a little titel wave boat, and bumper cars (like 10 times). He was 45 inches and you had to be 46, but the guys were nice and let him enjoy the cars, thank you for letting him ride them. Ryker hates fast rides, he was freaking out on every one of them. He especially hated puff and the swings. He cried and screamed the entire time, I held in laughter most of the time, but the swings got me, I was laughing so hard and he was crying so hard, and yelling at me "don't laugh at me mom!" I would gain composure and assure him that he was fine, but then would laugh again. We were making all the moms and dads laugh, that didn't have to ride with their children.
Hailey is a thrill seeker, she rode: the scrambler 10 times and tilt a whirl 10 times, paragliders, that look like umbrellas, the planes, bom bora, which she didn't like this year, the bat, and all the baby rides with her brother, and the log ride. We had a lot of fun together.
We all rode the sky ride, and really enjoyed each others company. We stayed until they closed, and came home so tired.
We then got up on sunday and went to regional conference. It was a great conference, and I am glad that we went, even though, general conference, 2 hours, two kids, not a good mix, considering we were all exhausted, and mean to each other.
We are having a good week though: Mike fixed the dishwasher. We also fixed the washer and dryer situation. It will be so nice when our home will be a functioning home. What a sweet tender mercy.
We are looking forward to the temple dedication this weekend. I really like those so much.
I had a dream last night about my grandparents who passed away really super close together, and it seemed like I was talking to them, and that they were alive.....we were all talking about them, and they were just so kind and loving, which they always were. I just really miss them, and I am glad they got to visit me. I am thrilled that I know that our family is a forever family, and that we are all sealed together, and we can see and talk to them again. I don't think they are so far away after all.
That's all for now, hope everyone has a fantastic week.
