You would think.....when you see a face like this, there is torture involved.

You would never know that it followed a completely peaceful, fun family activity.....

This was our day at the new Draper temple. It was a great day and the temple was just beautiful. All of the volunteers were wonderful and they shared such sweet testimonies of the temple and our forever families. I am very grateful...even if she was screaming her head off! As soon as I mentioned gum she quieted down. I'm not above bribery.

It has been all Tru for a few weeks now, it all started January 16th with breakfast with friends...
A laser pointer with a shock button was a favorite gift, Hans even had fun putting it on Johnny's face in the pic below.

Next we were off to the movies, lucky it was a no school day.

Truman got this huge balloon and came up with the idea to send a message in hopes that it would go far and someone would find it...no one has responded yet.

Brownie Tort was the dessert of choice after his usual rib dinner.

Soon after his birthday... was the ever dreaded science fair. They came up with a recipe for the "Atlantis Bubble" inspired by Spongebob . It hasn't popped yet and it has been two weeks.

The big day came, January 31st. Tru was ready and excited! I've never seen a bigger smile coming out of the water.

Truman got to share this awesome day with his cousin Hannah.

We had a celebration party after and everyone wrote notes to help these two remember the day.

When the party and day were almost over, I told Truman he could get out of his suit so he could play, and he said, "No, I like it!"

Love you Tru!
