*Meeting President Monson*

We had THE BEST day today...my Mom was in Salt Lake for a convention and asked if Jess and I wanted to bring the kids and have lunch in the Garden Room (Joseph Smith Building) of course we said yes! We had a lovely lunch and then showed the kids the temple ...Skyla said "Oh look Mom! There't the angel just honkin' hims horn!" It was SO funny...then we headed to the elevators and had to wait for a minute because we took a hole elevator...when we finally got one on the end there was a gentleman that asked if we could wait a minute and use a different one, the another man said "no, they can have it, their not coming yet" so we got on...it was almost all the way shut when the guys hand came in and stopped it and said sorry we need it now, can you please step out...we did and waited...and what do you know...our PROPHET, President Monson comes walking around the corner...the kids were so excited, he came over and gave us all a high five and proceeded to just chat with us for like 4 or 5 minutes (we were the only ones there for a while) and he talked and wiggled his ears for the kids. Skyla told said to him at one point "You look REALLY tall today!" He laughed then he asked her "Is this your little brother?" she said yes and he said "Do you love him?" She said yes and then he looked at Jagger and Jagger started shaking his head NO! Everyone thought it was so funny!:D It was BEYOND AWESOME! Hunter turned around to me when Pres. Monson was talking to Skyla and squealed "OH MY GOSH! This is SO exciting!:D I'm definitely glad I took Hunter out of school so he could come with us.  It was something my kids and I will cherish forever! (We also saw Pres. Uchtdorf and Pres. Eyring as well but didn't talk to them)
