Our Pool

Due to covid, we had to make a reservation at the pool. Only 10 people allowed at a time. We had 6 and one more party of 4 was there for a third of the time. It was really nice having the place to ourselves for an hour and a half!

Make a Wish

Late night with my cute kiddos. We laid on the lawn watching the Perseid Meteor shower and we talked and laughed until we got cold. Then we enjoyed a cake that Joseph made for the occasion. I am truly blessed to be a mother to four such amazing people!!

Happy 4th of July

Cloudy With A Chance of Water

A beautiful day for the water park! It did warm up eventually and it really was a blast!! Wish I had more pictures of Melanie, but I was too busy enjoy the moments with her. She's so much fun!

Easter Egg Family Fun!!

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter Sunday at church this year.  Also, since our Primary President is moving soon, we were released!  No new calling yet, so I will start going to Sunday School and Relief Society! 

As far as dinner is concerned, we had a very nontraditional Easter this year.  I just didn't feel like doing a ham, its really not my favorite food!  So Richard and I made a big batch of hot and sour soup, a bunch of fried rice with shrimp and bbq pork in it and pot stickers.  Adrienne and Jon came over after church and joined us. It was fun!

Since we ran out of time earlier in the week, we decided to dye our eggs on Easter.  We did cool whip eggs again this year. Its fun, colorful and you can eat the whip cream when you are done!  This is what happens when you dye eggs this way...

 

 

It's okay Jon, there is no wrong way to do this!!

Aren't they beautiful?

In Search of Mountains

Last Sunday was our Stake Conference. Jacob was sustained to the Melchizedek Priesthood and will be ordained in the next week or so! We just had one session at 10am, so we went to that then we came home, got changed into warm gear and headed out to find the Grand Teton Mountains. Adrienne has been excited to take photographs of the area and since it was such a  clear day out we thought it would be a fun little drive.  And it was!  But the clouds had accumulated around the mountains and we did not get to see the sharp peaks.  It was SO cold out!  I think the high that day was 17 degrees.  It was also windy and the wind went right through our coats.  It was still a fun trip and Adrienne took a great family photo of us!  I love having a photographer for a daughter! 

 

Adrienne doing her thing!
