Pioneer Day

Breakfast at IHOP with Grandma and Grandpa. Four-hour nap. Dinner at The Pie. Bowling. Then TWO fireworks displays. FUN, FUN, FUN!!

We hadn't been bowling as a family in YEARS. In fact, Logan and Braxton's only experience with bowling was with a Wii remote. They both caught on quickly and LOVED it. Braxton started off with the kiddie ramp and then graduated to rolling the ball down the lane. He was excited to wear the bowling shoes and practically cried when he found out he couldn't keep them. He was also completely entranced by the ball return and stood next to it watching the balls. The bowling alley had computerized bumpers that would raise and lower for the younger kids turns. Everyone has a great time and all the kids said we should do it again...SOON!

Ice Cream Sundaes

I've always wanted to get some of those fun ice cream sundae glasses that they have at fancy ice cream parlors. So when I saw this set at a yard sale, I couldn't resist. Of course the kids love them. Now I need to look for some banana split dishes to complete my collection.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

Today we took our family through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Mike, Carly and I had already served as ushers, but Mike and I had never been inside until today. What a beautiful temple! I'm so excited for the dedication and for the work to begin! What a blessing!

























Braxton has a unique way of wearing his tie.













Angel Moroni was struck by lightning a few weeks ago and you can still see the burn marks on his arm, trumpet, face and underneath the sphere he is standing on.

Shrimp Stir-Fry

This is the dinner we ate last night. DELISH!! I was going to make a chicken stir-fry with all the leftover veggies we had in the fridge, but I hadn't defrosted any chicken. So I grabbed a bag of frozen shrimp and VOILA! This was the result. And yes, it tasted as good as it looks!

Welcome to my blog!

Bloggersphere...here I come! I'm new at all of this and slowly learning how it all works, but I'm excited to blog and share photos and stories of my family.
