A weekend with Darin

We had Brent's younger brother Darin come down for a weekend. This was the first time we have ever really been able to spend time with just him. We really enjoyed every minute he was here. One of the best things we were able to do was make another trip to Zions. He had never been there before so it was really fun to show him around. We even did a hike Brent & I had never tried before. It was neat experiencing new things. Thanks so much for coming, Darin. It was great getting to know you better. You are welcome to come down again whenever!!

A weekend with Mom & Paige

This past weekend for Labor Day Weekend, my Mom and sister came down for a visit. It was so much fun spending time with them. My sister is honestly the silliest person I know. It's fun (but really makes me feel old) seeing her grow into a young lady and hearing about boys and high school.

On Saturday we were going to go hiking in Zions but no one could wake up in time, so we decided to go shopping and get pedicures. Brent even came with us. Mom and Paige had never gotten pedicures done before, so it was fun to experience it with them. Boy was it relaxing and felt so great! After, we went to Sally's and bought hair dye and stuff for our nails. It was so fun just hanging out with my family all day. I loved it!

Sunday was a very emotional day at church with baby blessings and lessons on Eternal Families. I was very grateful to have my mom with me. Afterward, we had a very yummy dinner Brent made, and had fun painting nails and dying our hair.

Monday, we all woke up early to go to Zions. Paige and Mom hadn't been hiking there before so we made sure to take them to some of our favorite places like weeping rock and the emerald pools. It was perfect hiking weather with it cloudy and sprinkling occasionally. It was such a fun day and a wonderful weekend. Thanks Mom & Paige for coming. We love having you guys come down and spending time with you!

Tuachan Trip #2

The radio was advertising discount tickets to go and see Grease at the Tuachan. Of course we couldn't pass it up, so on Tuesday we packed up to go to Tuachan again in a weeks time. We were both so excited. I have always loved the movie and seeing it in life was so much fun! We even had 2nd row seats (amazing for only $10 each)! It was all I could do not to sing along to all the songs. They had a few malfunctions with the old cars that they drove on the stage, but over all it was great! My favorite scene was "Beauty School Dropout" - they did such a great job with costumes, dancing, singing, and acting. It was perfect! Every actor fit his/her role perfectly and it was fun pointing out those who were also in the Little Mermaid. After the play I was able to have all the cast -minus one- sign my program! Definitely another wonderful night at Tuachan!
