Yes, Rian is playing dress up and totally posing for the picture :)
In our Church we do something called Family Home Evening (FHE). It's usually done every Monday night and it is an opportunity to spend time together as a family and enjoy one another. Many times we use it to learn a lesson or gospel principle and have an activity and treat, but sometimes we can take that opportunity to do other fun things like go bowling or something, as long as it is done as a family.
So tonight, I had the lesson. Rian is OBSESSED with marriage, brides, wedding dresses, etc. She has been asking to watch our wedding DVD. So I thought I could incorporate that into my lesson on temple marriage. We were telling Rian that not everybody gets married in the temple. And the difference between a temple marriage and a civil marriage. If a couple is married in the temple, they are married for now and forever. But in a civil marriage, they are married for this life only, once they die, they are no longer married.
After the lesson, we watched the DVD. When it was over, I asked Rian what she learned tonight. This was her answer: "If you get married in the temple, you will be a family forever. If you don't get married in the temple, you die." Not quite....but at least we got half of it right?! I mean she is only 3 :) Looks like we will be going over this one again tomorrow!

so is a temple marriage similar to a pastoral marriage? your temple is our church?
I LOVE that pic of Rian. She is killing me. She is so gorgeous.
what fun you two must be having with those adorable children! I can't believe how much Miles is growing! They are both beautiful.
I love it! She's so fun.
We are looking at your blog again, we decided Rian is a mini Tracy, and Miles is a mini Matt. So appropriate and so cute.
