Temple Square Lights

Photo taken by Logan Mathie (my little brother)

We first went to see the lights this year with Whit's family right after Thanksgiving, the first night they are turned on actually! In addition to our normal clan, we were lucky to have Kim and Suzanne join us.

Then we went again after listening to my little brother's school choir sing at the Assembly Hall that is in the Temple Square grounds. Funny that he didn't join us afterward. Teenagers. It was a cold night, so we didn't stay too long, but it's always nice to see the festive lights.

Another one of Maggie's very "thrilled" faces. ;)

Whit and I have been married for 9 years now. How time flies when you are having fun. We have the most precious baby boy named Jonas. He is in Heaven right now, waiting for us to return to him. We miss him every minute. We also have a little girl named Maggie, who has the same disease that her brother had. Time with her is limited as well, so we continue to do what we did with her brother...enjoy every minute! We are so blessed to have the most beautiful children and even though our time with them will be short, we know we will be with them again!

Jonas Mathie

Jonas was born on December 2, 2007. At six weeks old Jonas was diagnosed with a genetic disorder called SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). SMA Type I is a terminal genetic disease that results in loss of nerves in the spinal cord and weakness of the muscles connected with those nerves. Jonas beat the odds and lived with us for almost three years! He returned to heaven November 18, 2010. Every day we had with him here on earth was our heaven. We are better people because of Jonas and miss him everyday.
