Time Flies

 So basically summer came and went

since my last post.

I will hit on the highlights with

favorite summer pictures!

Taylorsville Dayzz

(Jordan, Paige, Courtney) 

 canyon cookouts

 

hikes

 I finally decided on how to arrange the new front patio

and bought cushions. And we love it. 

 Antelope Island Moonlight ride

 the Fourth of July

 

fireworks with the neighbors 

 outdoor movies

We decided to make a quick trip to Disneyland

during one of our St. George visits.

 Which we love

 even in the rain.

 Mark and I spent our honeymoon in Disneyland

on the 30th Anniversary and so we needed

to go again on their 60th Anniversary!

 Cute people

waiting for the new main street electrical parade.

We love Disneyland!

 Courtney's birthday dinner at Aristos (her favorite).

The birthday girl's pie.

Paige started 8th grade again

 this time as the teacher!

 And she bought a new car.

 Then football season started!

 And we went on another trip to St. George

only this time without Miss Paige.

 

Snow Canyon

 

Then some more football.

 Where Courtney entered with the team.

 Then we went on a one day trip to St. George.

 To see this cute family and join in the blessing of Brooklyn. 

 

 We went on a drive to see the leaves.

 Mirror Lake.

The dark and the light.

 And here is an end of summer picture of the family.

Goodbye summer.

We will miss you but we also love Fall!

And taking selfies.

Easter and more

The girls took a little trip to sunny California

the first part of March (without us!)

 And this might maybe be my favorite Disneyland picture

EVER!

 Thanks to Ben for hosting!

 We all love Disneyland!

We also love movies!

 

 And when classics like Rear Window are on the

big screen - we are there!

 Another thing that Mark and I enjoy is

Maya, our neighbor, who comes over

"just to talk" sometimes!

 You are never too old to color Easter eggs together

 right? 

 We didn't color many this year

 but the ones we colored were quality!

 Since Easter was on conference weekend

we had such a wonderful, relaxing, day.

 And we cooked a wonderful Easter meal together.

The poached egg salad seen above

 and this beautiful chocolate souffle

 are 2 of the things Courtney learned to make

at her Harmon's cooking class. #thankyouharmons

I have been walking around, taking pictures of plants

 

that I like for ideas to plant in our own yard.

 Of course these are taken on Temple Square.

 A garden worthy of emulation!

 One day my Paige came to town

and we went to lunch at Cucina!

 Mark got nice tickets to a Jazz game and

and Mark and Linda came too.

At one point Mark H. felt a little wetness on his head.

 And the Jazz bear was behind us with a can of silly string.

He was going around hitting all the bald guys! 

 It was way fun! I have only ever attended one other

Jazz game and we were on the top row - literally! 

 Last Sunday I made Pavlova for dessert.

And while it was far from perfect

it was yummy and I will try, try again! 

On Wednesday, April 15th we finally got some snow.

More than the whole winter combined I heard.

But the flowers on Temple Square still look beautiful!

What a wonderful world!
