Everyday Moments...

 One of our favorite places to go is the Great Salt Lake Bird Refuge.  It has a mile long boardwalk through the Refuge.  We like to take Sunday walks along its path.  It is so peaceful and scenic.




We love to go to This is the Place State Park. We like to meet all of the cousins there and have fun together. 




 The Saturday before Easter, we always have a fun Easter egg hunt at Grammy and Grampy's house.  The kids and also the "big kids" have so much fun.


Easter morning is always a special and sacred morning.  We are so grateful for the time we get to spend together in remembering Jesus Christ.  We usually have to hurry breakfast and rush out the door but on Easter we get to sit and enjoy.  The last several years we have had a tradition of having blueberry french toast.  It is so yum!

This year Easter was on General Conference weekend.  What a special treat! The Monday before General Conference we had a family home evening lesson on facing our "tents" to the temple and the prophets.  So during General Conference, we made a tent that faced towards the prophets.  It made it more meaningful and fun.

I was asked to make bread for Easter dinner.  I made this traditional Italian Easter bread.  It turned out really good.

Easter with the family.

St Patrick's day is always fun.  Our family name is Irish and Scottish.  We like to celebrate our heritage with a traditional St. Patrick's day dinner with corn beef, potatoes, carrots and Irish soda bread.  It is always so good.  The kids always have fun finding the leprechaun.








Fun times at Grammy and Grampy's house

I had the best birthday.  Especially with my little helper!

  1. Lots of fun times. I liked the tent facing the TV. Dan-o, in college, had to live a scripture for a week. He chose, "And my father dwelt in a tent," and stacked up four mattresses and slept like that. I also liked the blueberry french toast. We do waffles and bacon for conference Sunday.
