Families Can Be Together Forever

We had a wonderful time out in Colorado visiting the Seaver family last weekend. On my first day there cute little Shyloh (my sister-in-law) insisted that we had to have a tea party with her new tea set. She and my little niece got all dressed up and we played "Little House on the Prairie" (Shyloh had just finished reading the books). She even roped Jayson into being "Pa" and he "came in from working the fields" to have a quick bite to eat before "heading back out to go hunting" :) I wish I had gotten a picture of him!


While we were out in Colorado we had the special opportunity to go to the LDS Denver temple with Jayson's family to witness the sealing of his youngest adopted brother, Daniel, to their family. It was such a beautiful experience and was all the more special because it was the first time that all the now twelve Seaver children had been together in over 5 years.

Here are some photos from our day at the temple:


I am so grateful for the blessing of eternal families!

What a special day. I've never been to the Denver temple, but it looks pretty.
I am SO having a "Little House" tea party when my daughter is older!

Misty said...

how fun. I'm glad I got to see you while I was in UT. Now I just have to mail all those things out to everyone who didn't come!

Amy said...

We miss you guys already! Thanks for emailing me the pictures. Hopefully it isn't too long before we see each other again.

What a special experience to be a part of. Glad you guys could go. I would have liked to have seen Jayson playing Little House on the Prairie myself.

I don't know of a better family to share you with than the Seavers. What a beautiful sight! And funny thing, the girls at home and I just had a tea party with Grandma Cahoon during her holiday visit here. It was with her china that we inherited and she thought that was so much fun. So Jayson, when you're here next we'll just have to have a reenactment and get sight of that - in person! Love you guys tons. Mom C.

Cute! Looks like a great bunch of kids.

Sounds like a wonderful trip! One day we'll have to bring the Seavers down for a Salt Lake game of In the Manner of the Adverb. It sounds like Jayson's sister Shiloh has the creative juices for it. :)

Hey guys, this is Michelle, one of Jayson's many cousins! :) I just linked to your blog from Brooke's (if you can call Brooke's a "blog" ha ha ha) :) Anyway, I just wanted to say hi & let you know I have been snooping around your blog. :) So fun to see some familiar faces & hopefully you don't mind! We just made our blog private, but if you ever want to look at it, send me an email to iluvtoling@yahoo.com & I will add you to the exclusive list of lucky readers. Ha ha. :)

Phil got me Photo Shop Elements for Christmas. It has a smart brush that does reverse black and white. So, you can select what you want to be black and white. It took a while because it will fill in more than just where you click if it seems to be an outline of a face, lips, etc. But it was fun to play with it!
