Sunday morning we were able to go be part of the dedication. Thanks to Grandpa Gary, Darin and I were able able to be in the Celestial Room for the first dedication session. It was really special to be there and see the Prophet so close in person. The spirit there was really strong and powerful. The 3 boys were invited to the corner stone laying (Thanks again to Grandpa Gary.) That was really cool for them. Grandma Luie was with them because we were inside the Temple. She got them in a great spot and at one point the Prophet spoke right to them- He said, this looks like a great bunch of missionaries- or something like that, I wish I could remember the exact words. We were inside the Temple viewing it all on the TV. We were so proud to see our little boys there, they showed a good closeup of them. What a cool experience for all of us. Grandpa Doug was so nice and volunteered to stay home with Tyler and Heidi!! He did awesome. He even cleaned up a blow out diaper from Tyler! Thanks so much Grandpa!
They got new white shirts and new ties to see the Prophet! Don't they look so handsome!
After the President Monson went back inside to finish Dedicating the Temple, the kids got to put more mortar on. They were the first ones. They were pretty excited to be able to do it.
This is right before President Monson went back inside. You can see him just to the right of the camera. He is standing right in front of the boys.
It was fun for them to be there with Grandma Luie. Thank Mom for taking such great care of them!

That looks like an awesome experience, I bet the boys will never forget that. How cool!
Very handsome boys. What a neat time for your family. Reading everything brought back my memories of going to the Billings temple dedication. A temple in MOntana was so long in the waiting, it was so special, and Pres. Hinckley shook my hand and talked to our family. I will never forget the spirit felt there.
What a very memorable, neat experience! Your boys look so nice. That makes me soooo excited--we have 2 temples going up within a few miles of us and we really want to go to at least one of the dedications.
I'm so glad that you were able to go to the dedication. What a neat experience for all of you. It sounded like a very busy week, but so fun.
What a neat experience. i am sure your family will always remember.
Cool that they got to help
