For the first time ever in Jake and I's married life, we actually have to travel to get to a temple...granted 2 hours each way isn't that bad. (before AZ we have always been within 30 mins of a temple) But since it takes a good amount of time in the car, we try to make it a whole day event...drive up in the morning, each do out sessions, then hang out and play in Phoenix before driving back.
going to the temple now is something i really treasure now...it's not a "convenient" thing that i take advantage of. now i feel like when i can get down to the temple it is really special because we have to make an extra effort to go. i really enjoying getting there when i can. it's also really neat watching my kids see how important it is. they get excited to go too. we bring them with us and switch off watching them so it really is a whole family affair. in the past, we could leave them for just a couple hours, go real quick together and get back to pay a babysitter. now atleast 6 hours is waaaaay too long to leave our kids. we look forward to when the tucson temple is built and also when blaine is a little bit older so he can babysit (or do baptisms with us). for now i enjoy the garunteed family time we get whenever we go to the temple.
we have passes to a Science museum here in Tucson, but the super cool thing about this pass, is that we can use our pass at several other science museums all over the USA. there happens to be a cool science museum in Phoenix and decided to go check it out! the boys had soo much fun!
i love how different my boys can be...Blaine is over learning and trying to figure out how pipes and drains work....Ty only cares about the cut in half toilet! haha Fun day!
