Week in review...

Ashlyns class is studying insects and so they've had mealworms and caterpillars in their class to observe and study. They were so lucky to bring some home too! So we have a caterpillar that is currently making a chrysalis right now, it is the coolest.

We were able to go to the Gilbert Temple to tour it on Thursday night. It was the most beautiful temple that I've been through, with soft greens throughout, stained glass doors, marble floors, beautiful furniture, chandeliers and even the seat had an embossed velvet leaf pattern on them. Gorgeous! It had a craftsman type feel to it that I love. I love the attention to every little detail that is given, it was a wonderful experience to go through the sealing room and have each of the kids look through the mirrors and see that our family is an eternal one. Jacob didn't listen to his mom and didn't bring his coat out of the car, so he was cold and grumpy.

Haley auditioned for the Mesa Youth Orchestra on Saturday, she did a great job and we should find out if she made it early this week. If she did then she will be having lots of rehearsals for a big concert in the gorgeous Mesa Arts Center downtown in April. Even if she doesn't make it, I was proud of her for trying. She is so gifted when it comes to music, only a few students from her school were chosen by their orchestra teacher to try out for this concert.

It was a great week!
