Cress Creek Hike (May 11th)

We went hiking up to Heise Hot Springs to the Cress Creek Trail.

The day was perfect and the hike was pretty easy.

More memories.

Daisy Come and Gone (May 8th)

Grant, James, and Daren playing tug-of-war with Daisy.
She's a strong dog and ended up winning all 3 of them.

 Daisy was a fun dog.

Whenever the kids were on the trampoline, she would run a toy over to them and want them to throw it, or play with her.

She did like to dig, and pick up rocks and play with them and then leave the rocks all over the yard for us to pick up later.

Grandpa was feeling lonely and needed a dog to take walking so we gave Daisy back to him.

He has loved having a companion who bounds up to him and gives him hugs.

A Wedding at the Temple (May 4th)

We went to a wedding for their cousin, Jason, at the Mt. Timpanogoes Temple.

The day was just so gorgeous that we had to take pictures.

Soup in Bread Bowls (April 29th)

Selfie Time - I can't remember why I took these selfies, but here I am.

I LOVE soup in bread bowls and I made these bread bowls from scratch and they actually turned out.

Wahoo!!!

I also made the soup from scratch.

A filling dinner makes for happy tummies, and happy tummies make happy kids.
