Manti Pagaent

It had been several years since we had gone to the Manti Padgent so we decided to make it a fun time and invited Porter and Ryland to go. We got reservations at the Yogi Bear RV Park and we camped over night.
We left that morning so we could do a little swimming and just enjoy the day with the kids. They really loved just spending some one on one time with Papa and Nana. We had dinner there and then waited for the show to start . It doesn't start until 9:00 so it was past Ryland's bedtime. She managed to stay awake for the first hour and then fell asleep. But Porter stayed awake through the whole show and kept asking questions. He really loved it.
We packed them up after the show and headed back to camp. The next morning we had breakfast and then headed back to SLC. It was really a fun mini vacation. I think we should make this a tradition with all the grand kids each year.

Fox Pointe Youth Conference

This year we volunteered to go to Youth Conference with our youth. It was a local conference where we went downtown and just explored anything that had to do with the church. We toured the Conference Center, the church Library, the Church Museum. We learned how to cook at the Lions House. We had lunch out by the fountain and really had a great day. I have lived here almost all of my life and today I saw and learned things that I never knew before.

Our 33rd anniversary

This year we celebrated 33 years of marriage. It's hard to believe that that much time has gone by. We have had our ups and downs, but I couldn't been married to a better person. Paul is the very best husband and father I could ever hope for. We went to dinner and then he surprised me with two tickets to see Michael Bubble in the Fall. I can hardly wait.  Happy Anniversary Honey...

Father's Day

This year it wasn't our Sunday for the kids for dinner but they all managed to come by and see their dad. We were invited over the Alex's parents for dinner which we went to but when we arrived dinner hadn't even been started. Paul ended up cooking on the BBQ for everyone. It was great food.

Celebrating with Aunt Bernice

This year we celebrated Aunt Bernice's   95  th Birthday. Her family had an open house at their local ward house and all of my family including mom and dad all went and celebrated this milestone. She is such a sweet lady and really has taken the place of my dear Grandma who has passed away. I really miss her a lot.
