My Birthday at Snowbird

Today I wanted to go up to the mountains and have a wonderful day with my family for my birthday. We went to Snowbird.

Riding the lift. Clover was getting so tired here and fell asleep after this shot.

Connor said "Mom, I just love how beautiful it is here. I love going to see nature."

We hiked a mile from the lift up to the huge tram.

There is still snow in places!

Shelby in the snow- so weird to be baking in the sun and heat and then be also standing in snow.

We had fun on the alpine slides, bull riding, zip-lines, bungy jumping, and riding the lifts and tram.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

We went to the open house for the temple today. It is a lovely temple. Yesterday the Angel Moroni was struck by lightening. The arm and trumpet are black.

This is the back side of the temple.

Fun Friday

Well again today I only had 1 daycare kid. I took the kids to this place called Jump'n Jacks. It is a new place it is only 5 minutes away from our house. The kids had a blast.

Play at the lake

Today I only had 1 daycare kid. The kids are out of school for summer, so we went to the Daybreak Lake with my sister and niece. It was a very hot day and the water was nice.

Clover in her shrunk'n hat, that shrunk last time we went swimming. I have another hat but it has no straps to go around her chin. Gotta have a hat with straps or she will yank it off.

Connor was here, but all you can see of him is a splash.

Trying New Things

Clover is 7 months old. I know it is about that time for crackers. That first time is very scary for me. She has been eating soft stuff like eggs and bread and cake and pancakes and does fine with it. But something like a cracker I had not tried yet. So today was the big day. I gave it to her and she didn't know what to do. I have not had her feed herself yet. I had to show her that she can put it in her mouth.

She got the hang of it very quickly, and ate the whole thing. No choking or anything, it was like she had done it forever.

Independence Day with our Family

The day started with Mason putting pork shoulder on the grill and smoked it all day long.

Family showed up and after we ate dinner we all walked to the school ground to play catch and have fun.

Clover and Quincey- cousins

Mom and sister Camilla

Everyone having so much holiday family fun.

Grandma LUTZ and the Shelby (isn't she just getting so cute!) boo hoo, my Shelby is growing so fast!

Grandpa and Clover in her PJ's- she did so well with the fireworks.

The Oakcrest Lake

Our school is called Oakcrest and they do NOT have a lake! We had so much rain one day- West Jordan got the most in the whole valley- about inch and half in 1 hour! Well this is what it did to our school playground!!!!! The water comes up to Shelby's knees!

BYU Bowling!!!

Beautiful mountain scenery with "Y"

BYU Wilkinson Center

So Big!

Me and my girls are hanging in the van while Mason and Connor go into Smith's to find pickling salt for a brine, for tomorrows pork sholder. He will brine it over night.
