Megan, all ready to go inside and see the newBrigham City (Mormon) Temple. She got all dressed up in her
lovely white dress, everyone told her how pretty she looked.
The new Brigham City Temple... Anyonecan go inside and tour it before it is dedicated. We
went with our son Darin and his family. It is so very
beautiful inside too.
My great great grandfather, Jeppa Hans Jeppson, was incharge of this beautiful tabernacle being built in the 1800's.
His Swiss handwork is in the carved wood inside, it is so
beautiful!
The temple and the tabernacle face each other and it issuch a beautiful sight! I am pretty sure that my grandfather
is very happy about this new temple.
Ron and Julie enjoying the day at the temple.
Darin and his family...
We so love the holy temples.We serve in the Manti Temple each week and it
truly blesses our lives. I love going and feeling so close
to the Lord and his sacred works and ways.

The children are as gorgeous as ever, Julie. Love the chocolate sucking fingers licking good cake cutie.
You now have how many kid-lings? Congrats on the new blue baby due soon. This has to b very exciting for you.
The tabernacle is gorgeous. Enjoyed learning about your g'pa's handiwork in the temple. Can you share pics of this?
Your valley (?) is just beautiful.
Go take a peek at my Miss M on the blog for yesterday ... I just had her professional pics for age 1 & am dying to get them back.
I have the durndest time remembering the name of your blog to view ... I have to figure out how to save it so I can just do a 'click' & not exert my brain (chuckle).
Have a lovely week.
TTFN ~
Hugs & love,

Aw, what sweet pictures! The kids always are fun to see!
Your temples are lovely. Really. Now why can't baptists build lovely churches like that? haha. We are fortunate enough to worship in a church that is lovely, but it's an old one that was originally Methodist. Traditionally, we aren't know for gorgeous buildings. :)
All of those desserts look yummy! Can't wait to try those carrot bars especially! :)
Beautiful pictures.
Isn't it wonderful, a new temple?!!
Years ago, my grandparents lived right on main street in B.C. , and just a few block to the N. of the new temple.
They would have been so thrilled, I'm certain :)
Delicious looking recipes, and you have some darling grands to share all those goodies with!!
Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.

Just love seeing your beautiful grandchildren. And congrats on another new one.
The temples are beautiful.
YOu have such a wonderful family.
It's just the best being a grandma for sure.
I just love the old Tabernacle. I lived in Brigham City once when they had stake conference's in that building. Last time I was in BC I spent a lot of time in there just taking pictures and taking all that history in. That was a year or maybe more ago - Moroni hadn't even 'landed' yet on the Temple. Wish I was there to go through it. Since my dad died, I doubt I'll be making many more trips up that way.
Always love your blog posts! I can't get enough of your darling Grandchildren, they are so beautiful..I can say that about Caleb can't I...Or at least he's a handsome young lad!
Great recipes!! Thanks for sharing your family!
Hi pretty Julie! Oh, look at all the grands! How they're growing and I'm just amazed at little Claire's big beautiful eyes and her hair. My daughter's hair stood up just like that! I would work with it and spray it down when we'd go out and in about 30 minutes it began to pop back up. Makes me giggle.
Lovely family Julie! Any luck on the selling of your house by your mountain?
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
So fun stopping by to catch up with you and that precious family of yours :) The little ones are getting bigger and just as cute as ever!
awe Julie~ your family pictures always give me smiles! You catch the best shots! I love that Darrin's son is sticking his tongue out... such a boy! And all your grands are just so stinking cute!
Your new Temple is very Grand! Proud you should be especially that your Grandfather had his handiwork in the beautiful older Temple.
I have been away too long and must start visiting more often. i forgot how much you can make me smile.
Love & Hugs~

Aw, Julie, Claire is after my chocolate heart too : )
Ok grandma, an Taffy Apple Pizza??? OMG
Megan looks soooo proud in her pretty white dress. It's a big occasion for all of you.
YOU SHAVE YOUR CAT??? WOW, I wish I could do that to MAMA cat. Not sure she would let me. Would be so much cooler in the summer though.
Your view still makes my heart fluter. HOW STUNNING.
LOVE the girls in their Aunty Lisa's pressies. And who doesn't like a little lip gloss???? I know I do.
Have a sweet week my friend.

My DIL and her fam. went to the Brigahm City open house also. What a pretty temple that is.
And...I don't know If I ever told you, that my sister and her husband are temple workers at the Cardston Alberta Temple.
The Calgary temple open house is Sept. and Oct....and I am having my brother get tickets for me and hubby to go with them to the open house.
Hi Julie,
Those temples are amazing...I would love to tour one! Maybe someday I will get there.
Your grands are always so fun to see! Love the little girls in their vests, too cute!

Hi Julie,
CUTE...Cute...cute!!! :) Looks like some happy moments shared!
I am kind of at a stand still with my blog for awhile. I guess I have met my upload quota!! I didn't realize that my Picasa web album was connected with BLOGGER. Oh well!
I am off first thing in the morning to fly out to visit family (in Utah). Going to meet my sister out there. My parents both need our help with many recent health issues. Prayers are always appreciated..:)
Happy Friday to you, and your sweet family!
xoxo...Gloria
It looks like you are busy with beautiful grandchildren as usual. It is a calling that you were certainly meant for! They are all beautiful.
I love the pillows you did! Gorgeous!
You are so talented!
