A Week in Review

Last weekend we celebrated Nathan's mom's 70th birthday. We had a temple night, where we did work for her ancestors, did yard work for them, and had a big family dinner. I think she had a great birthday. She is a very kind, selfless woman. I love that she always takes time for S, to love her and play with her, and S knows Grandma cares about her. I'm so grateful that S has such good grandparents! It's such a blessing. We try to spend lots of time with them so that she will know and love them.

A visit to the temple. S thinks that the only reason you go to the temple is to get married. She's beginning to understand what marriage means.

We went on a fun outing with cousins to the Bean Museum at BYU and then for a picnic at the park. S was very impressed with the giraffes.

Cousins!

We also went to a parade recently. Daddy is not a fan of being out in the sun, so we were grateful to find a shady spot. S liked the candy =)

Farm Country

Today S and I visited Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. We had a fun time, except when it was time to go home and she screamed in the car all the way home. That part did not make the fun list. Otherwise, we got to see lots of farm animals, she got to go on a pony ride, we went on a wagon ride, and she got to play in the area where you learn about how food is grown and harvested. It was warm and nice being outside, but not hot. And it was good to do something out of the ordinary, for mommy :)

 Ride 'em cowgirl!!

Just us girls out for a wagon ride, like we do every day ;)

There's more than one way to ride a tractor...

But...this way might be a bit more comfortable.

Also, I painted her toenails for the first time. She wanted the same color I had just used. She sat still and watched TV until they were dry, too!

One day this week we walked around by the library and city buildings. It was kinda fun to look and wander around.

One more picture of my silly girl. No, the shirt and pj bottoms don't match really well, but when she added the polka dot leg warmers....now we're talking!

This and that

I bought S a small pool to use in the back yard. We've had it out a couple times and she's had a fun time in it. I set her slide in it so she can slide down into the water. She was a little scared sliding down it the second time we had it out (I had to hold her hands in order for her to slide down :).

Me hangin' with the rubber ducky at the pool.

S pulled out our scarves and winter hats and was playing with them one day. Silly girl! I videoed her being silly and she loved watching it over and over.

Here's my sweetie during a walk in the park. I love this outfit.

Last of all, here is my lily that I planted last year. I bought it at a service auction for Relief Society. I like the crimped edge of the blossom. It's fun seeing the flowers bloom. Still waiting on my shasta daisies!
