August 22, 2009 Lubbock Texas Temple

Well folks, first I have to thank all our wonderful family and friends for all your love and support in our journey. On August 21 at 8 pm Chris went through the temple for the first time. Our Bishop was Chris's escort and they had an enjoyable time. We all went through the 8pm session together and met everyone in the Celestial room. What a wonderful experience to be in that beautiful room with my husband! It was great and Chris really enjoyed the whole experience.

On Saturday August 22 at 1pm Chris and I had the most amazing thing happen for our little family. We were sealed as husband and wife for time and all eternity. Words can not describe my joy in seeing my wonderful husband across the altar in the Temple of the Lord, knowing that as we stay true to our covenants to the Lord and true to each other we will be together forever! Shortly thereafter Charly Brooke was brought into the room in her sweet little white dress and she and our future children were sealed to us, to be with us in our family forever. What a joy! Our children are now ours and will be in the next life as well. What an amazing promise...as a parent the comfort of knowing that my children are mine even, Heaven forbid, in death is such an awesome blessing. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us that enables us to partake of these amazing blessings. My heart is full.

When we walked out of the temple Charly saw Hannah and this was her reaction!

My family that was able to be there. We love you all and we missed everyone else! Truthfully...I don't think the Lovett clan will fit in the big sealing room at the Lubbock Temple anymore..isn't that great!!!

My whole family! We are missing the 3 other grandbabies...at the sitter's.

Charly Brooke and her craziness!!!

Our little darling is turning into quite the character! She seriously cracks us up daily with her crazy antics...for instance.... today I went in to C's room to get her from her morning nap and this is what I found. Her cousin Madi let C borrow her old Dora tent and Charly somehow figured out how to pull it into her crib! She was so proud of herself but obviously ready to get up!
Instance #2 : Yesterday Charly came running into the kitchen with her Easter basket on her head like a bell hop. She was so pleased with herself that she kept it on running around in circles for about 10 minutes. Nut.
So we got some amazing corn from a truck on the side of the road. This is Charly's first experience eating corn on the cob all by herself. As you can see she is enjoying it. I love it that our little girl loves her veggies! She also ate a plate of baked squash...nice!


Happy July 4th everyone! I know...it's a little late but our angel looked SO sweet and grown up in her sweet little dress. Thanks to all who have served our blessed country.




Kim, my sis-in-law's Mom, gave Charly her first haircut and she did so well!!


Chris got a jeep a few months ago and on a beautiful afternoon we took the top off. We took Charly for a ride and she loved it!!! She walks to the jeep every time we go to the garage to get in the car to leave!
