Some of my favorite parts of Mother's Day were going to visit my Mom & Keith's Mom in the morning. We brought them both some pretty flowers. We both have such great Mom's and we love them both so much! We went back home after that and had yummy pancakes topped with fresh peaches (Yes, from the farm! More on that later.) Brett wasn't feeling well, so he and I stayed home from church. I was bummed to miss out on church and the kids singing and the yummy treat for moms, but Keith was teaching in Young Men's that day so he couldn't stay home. Brett screamed for and hour and a half before finally falling asleep. After church was the best when Grant came home with a picture of his face on a paper flower magnet. It was so cute, and he was so excited to give it to me. Then we headed to my brother's house for a yummy enchilada dinner that all the men put together.

So today I got a text from Keith's sister that the Angel Moroni was going to be placed on
the Gilbert temple today at 2:00. So I packed up a yummy lunch, lot's of water, and a spray bottle full of water (it was over 100 degree today). Keith was done with meetings for the day so he came home and we went and picked up my dad. We went to the park across the street from the temple to watch. We got there just before the crowd hit. It was really neat to watch. It would have been a great day to have a super close up lens for my camera. (Hey Keith, my birthday is coming up!) :) I cropped these pictures in to get a better look.

Most of the people watching were crowded together as close to the temple grounds as they could get. We preferred a shady ramada with a good view. Just as the statue was set in place there was a cheer from the crowd. Grant and his cousins were clapping really good. It was so cute to watch them be so excited. Then we turned on the AC in the car and drove home.

Thanks for the great pictures. What a treasured memory to have seen the angel being put on top of the temple.
That was such a neat experience, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. Thanks Jill for letting us know about it, we missed everyone who didn't get to be there, but we're glad there were great pictures to share with everyone. Love Gr and Gr J
