Ensign Peak

We decided to start a new tradition this year that went amazingly well. For the first time we hiked Ensign Peak as a family. Matt and I did this while we were dating, but it was the first for the kids. Brenden's quote for the hike, "I won't quit, not one bit." Which led to Nathan's, "just resting. I won't quite." They actually hiked the entire way without even stopping. It was so much fun!! We looked for bugs and rocks, and got to talk about why ensign peak is so spectacular.

Brenden and Nathan will never forget the stories about Robert Taylor Burton and Adam Hunter. Just two of the amazing people we follow in our heritage, with many more faithful saints and examples.

Followed by visiting temple square - seeing the Christus, and watching the Joseph Smith movie. Then ending the night at the park where Matt first told me he loved me (Sept. 5, 2005), and where he later proposed (Oct. 15, 2005) to watch fireworks. It was a wonderful evening!!

I love seeing how much the kids love and adore Daddy
