Okay Okay.....

Well we got to have a little fun. Our good friends Chris and Tiffane Pendleton live in D.C. so we drove up last friday night and spent the weekend with them. We ditched Caden with them in the morning and went to the Temple and did a session, it was amazing! I love the D.C. temple so much. It is amazing how grateful you are for doing a session when you actually have to drive 2 hours to the nearest temple. I think we take advantage of just being able to look out the window and see the Temple at home.


The poor thing has been there since 1980! Aaron and Chris found her quite amusing. I had to basically pull Aaron away from her little home:] If you have ever been there I bet you have seen her and if you are planning to go make sure to stop by and tell her hello from Aaron Louder:]




We were able to do a grounds tour of the White House. It was so neat to be that close. We were within about 10-15 feet from the oval office and were able to walk through the rose garden. It still amazes me that the white house is just right there in the middle of everything. I have always imagined it being this far out palace that no one could get within miles of, but nope we were basically peeping through the windows:]



We also went to an IMAX 3D movie. Caden was trying to reach out and touch the fish that were "swimming at him"! He lasted about 10 minutes with the glasses, but it was really fascinating to watch the movie.



The Smithsonian's.....
were a big hit for Caden. He stood right here for a couple minutes and was a tour guide, letting everyone who walked by know that this was a bear "Raaarr"!

The dinosaurs were a big hit as well! He got this little dinosaur toy and didn't put it down for a couple days:]



A few scenery pictures! I love D.C. It amazes me that every time we go we see new things and most of the time do not have to pay a dime! Yahoo...



Thanks Grandma and Chris and Tiff for the good times!
Baby update coming....

How fun! I love the DC temple too. I got to attend a special meeting in the priesthood room one time. I use to want to get married there but I would rather have all my friends and family. I am glad you guys got to do that. We are excited to see you over the holidays
