One of the favorite things for the Deans to do is to go shooting! So Grandpa Dean took us all shooting. He gathered all the kids around to teach them a few safety rules. It was great fun. Me, I was a little nervous around all the guns, but after a little while relaxed. Riley was nervous too, but he kept on going, and we couldn't get the guns out of his hands!
It was REALLY loud!!
Emily tried it, and did good!
Our own Wyatt Earp!
The view was so beautiful. I sure love the Utah Mountains. It was a gorgeous day.
Ooooh, something about a man and a gun!! ;)
Even me, the Canadian, tried my hand at the shotgun. Got a few bullseyes! It was really fun. Looks like I may be an American after all!
Not everyone had a fun time. Little Hailey had a hard time. She cried the most that she ever has. I couldn't get her to calm down for very long. Perhaps it was TOO loud and crazy for her. Poor baby.
Shelby tried her hand at the guns. She liked it too. "Don't mess with the dress!" She spent most of the time in the van watching a movie, but came out to shoot the targets too.
All in all, the Chad, Kolby and Brett families had a great time. Kent enjoyed it probably the most watching all his kids have fun doing the thing he loves. It will be a wonderful memory.
After almost 10 years of marriage, Kolby and Marcie made it to the temple! We were so blessed to be able to be there. I have never seen something so magnificently special before. Chad and I talked about how this is like the Prodigal Son parable. So much rejoicing when one son returns to the fold. To see them so humble and innocent in the temple was something I'll never forget. Witnessing them be married for time and all eternity was beautiful. But nothing will compare to the spirit that came when the 3 children were brought in. All dressed in white, they were nothing short of pure angels. Kneeling around the alter to be sealed together was so joyful I couldn't contain my emotions. What a glorious plan of our Heavenly Father!! To be with our families forever, never to be separated! Truly it is a Plan of Happiness.
Marcie wore this dress - it was Rozann's. She looked stunning. It was so special, she said she wanted to have a piece of her with her. Marcie looks gorgeous in anything, but she sure radiated this day! I told Marcie that there was no where in all of the eternities that would be more important for Rozann to be, than there in the temple with them. She was there, I have no doubts.
Just had to throw this picture in. Hailey just chilling with Daddy. She is so special and brings such love and joy into our family. We all love her. She did so good on our trip to Utah. I was so worried about her being left with a babysitter for so long. She did almost 5 hours without eating, and hardly fussing. What a good little baby.
