The Tomlinson Family

Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness—both our own and that of our children—than how well we love and support one another within the family... M. Russell Ballard

Family Night at the Temple!

Daniel is obsessed with temples. We have a picture of the San Diego Temple in our bedroom (the temple that we were married/sealed in) and he talks about it whenever he's in our room. We took him to the Boise temple when he was just a week or two old, and we try to take him back often, even though he doesn't get to go inside quite yet. His favorite part of the temple is the water fountain. (Do all temples have water fountains on the grounds? I don't think that I've ever been to one that doesn't...)

For Family Night we went to the temple and we enjoyed the grounds once again. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time. There is such a peace at the temple, even when you're just meandering through the landscaping. It was a nice way to spend an evening with my little family. Enjoy the pictures! (I went a little picture happy...)

My little sumos...


Daniel at nearly four months...


Rachel at 11 weeks...

I love big fat babies! There is nothing like cuddling with rolls and rolls of flesh! (How often do you get to say something like that?) I have two naked pics of my kids-- aren't they adorable?? It's amazing how much they look alike. Daniel has Rachel beat on the rolls, but he is over a month older than her at the time of the photo. I miss all of Daniel's rolls. He's just really buff now! But it looks like Rachel might be a pretty formidable opponent before long! You go, girl! :) Gosh, I love them to pieces...

Then I thought that I'd add a couple more shots of the kids. I have to remember that my mom "Mima" and brother, Chey, check this often and they'll get sad if I don't update the pics... Enjoy!


one happy girl...


what exactly is he doing, you ask? nothing says love like a soft head butt...
