The Summer of Twenty-Eleven

I am new at this blogging thing, but I am getting the impression that everyone does a post to recap their summer activities.  I thought I would join in and do my own Summer of Twenty-Eleven post in David Letterman style.

Here is my top ten favorite activities of the summer:

#10 - Youth Activies
 
 Girl's Camp
 Youth Conference - highlight - riding the Park City Zipline!

#9 - The Antelope Island Moonlight bikeride


#8 - Our Sausage Soiree


#7 - The Spiral Jetty


# 6 - Family Parties (Wood and Wightman)




#5 - Starting my blog

#4 - The Farmer's Market




#3 - St George




#2 - Camping/Boating


#1 - DC and NYC trip



My Mom always says we have a fun life and I would have to agree. We do!!!

As Easy as Pie

Whoever coined that phrase
never made pie.

Lara is getting married
so we had a Tasty Pastry Party in her honor.

So I spent the day making pies.
Making pie crust.
 Rolling pie crust.
 Fluting pie crust
(all by myself - Mark usually does this part)
 Et voila!
Coconut Cream Pie.
 Linda made Pumpkin Pie.

I also made Lemon Chiffon Pie, Chocolate Cream,
 and French Silk.
 Annie brought Key Lime.
Tiffany made Apple and Perky brought Berry Pies.
Great food!
But the best part was seeing the family:
Paige, Libby and Susan
 Annie and Courtney
 Perky,
Linda, Malia, and Tiffany
 Jennifer,
Jamie, Samantha and Katie
 Barbara & Maxx, Carrie
 Camille and the Bride/Guest of Honor - Lara
 Grandma Eleanor and Katie
Nancy and Jessie

Thanks to everyone who came!

The Greatest "Sno" on Earth

One of my favorite things
is a tiger's blood shaved ice!
So when Russ and Ciindy said
they were bringing their
Tropical Sno goodness,
I knew there was nowhere
else I would rather be than at the
Ward Potluck Dinner!

 Yummmmmmmm!

 Cindy {the sno queen}
Russ {the "sweet" guy}
 Charisse {the blog post stealer}
 The funniest spoon holder at a ward party EVER!!
Andrea, Charisse and Wendi

because it is so famous}
