Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

When I told my Mom we were coming to visit in July she made sure to get us a date for the Oquirrh Mt Temple open house. It was a beautiful day & a beautiful Temple, and I was so glad that Matt was able to come with us before heading back to Denver.

Grayden's First Birthday

I feel bad that I didn't make Grayden's cake, but we were so busy I barely had time to decorate the house a little & personalize the store bought cake!Even though he looks mad he was really happy about his musical pelican! haha-you put plastic balls in the beak & it plays music.

He was less than pleased when we tried to get him to wear a birthday hat!

Mesmerized by the flame!

Hmmm....what is this?!

I guess I'll try it out...

Oh yea, it is good stuff!

Hey, who ate my cake?What? I have something on my face?

Look at that fat belly full of cake!! Good thing he LOVES taking baths!!

Crusty

I really can't convince myself to post anything new until I replace my crusty old header. Spring...c'mon now. It is almost the middle of July!!

Cute Baby "K"

We got to watch our friends little girl the other day & it was so much fun having her. She was really good & pretty quiet most of the time she was here. After we put our kids to bed I put in a Baby Einstein video to see if she would like it, and she finally decided to get a little more vocal! :)

I took a bunch of cute pictures of her too, and thought it was so sweet that whenever Matt held her she'd fall asleep! Doesn't she have the most precious little face?! I could just squeeze those chubby cheeks!! We'd love to watch her anytime!!

We'll be comin' round the mountain when we come...

Ye Haw! We are coming to UT for the WHOLE MONTH of July. Matt has a month of training in CA, so he will drive all of us to UT & then fly home so he can get to work. I wish he could just stay and hang out with us for a fun summer vacation, but maybe next time! As always I want to see as many of you as much as I possibly can, so email, call, text, write me...do anything you have to so that we can plan on getting together. I'm really sad to leave all of my friends here in Denver, so I'll try to get back on the blogging wagon & keep everyone updated on our exciting adventures in UT.

Here are some pics of our activities the past couple of months.

It was a "girls night out" & we had a blast! Going into the National Park was an added treat & we didn't let the rain stop us from having fun!
