River walk

The river walkway by our neighborhood was one of the biggest selling points for us when we were looking to build.  It's like having our own beautiful water feature. I especially love it in the winter when the ice makes such beautiful formations.  

Provo city center temple open house

It's always a great opportunity when children can go inside a temple.  We went to Provo and enjoyed the Temple open house. The lines were long but all the kids were very patient and really enjoyed the beautiful temple. 

Lovely little fingers

Happiness

When you are 3 or 5 there's nothing happier than your favorite sibling, a tablet, a bunch of glowies, and a dark closet.  

Happy birthday Mike!

For his birthday Mike requested a "really good burger made at home". That was an easy and fun birthday wish to fulfill and a happy husband to boot.  

Our aquarium

Mike and I share a hobby. We love to keep a planted aquarium. We have this one in our bedroom and love how beautiful and serene it is.  The plants are all finally established and now it's just a matter of trimming and pruning.

Happy fish. 

A weekend "up north"

This weekend took us to the far north regions (the wasatch front). Everyone around Gunnison calls the wasatch front "up north".  It's cute and endearing and we have adopted the phrase.  

Saturday Josh was at UVU for a stem activity. The rest of us visited the springville art museum and an awesome pet store.  

After picking Josh up we went to Layton and hooked up with our friends the Scanlons. After a nice dinner at chick-fil-a we went to Andreas show.  She is Lucy in "your a good man Charlie Brown".  She did such a wonderful job!

We spent that night at the Scanlons and then Sunday we went to Provo for Dad and Jan's mission homecoming. It was the first we had seen them since coming home and it was so wonderful to catch up and spend time surrounded by lots of family.
