Happy Birthday Stella!

I love spending time with my family. Today was one of those precious days. We celebrated Stella's 5th birthday by hanging out in the pool and eating hot dogs and hamburgers. I pulled out my digital SLR to practice on my photography skills. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

I love this picture! They are truly that happy when they see each other!

Temple with Yellow Flowers

I dedicate this picture of the handcart company to my own pioneer trek experience. One of the many things I love this about this temple is that each corner represents a different group of saints in the gathering of Israel. Click here to learn more about the other carvings on the temple. Enjoy!

What I've been up to.... (pictures)

I've been really busy these past couple of weeks. Morgan and Terri came down for a few days as part of a High School graduation for Morgan. I had a blast with them. We ate Special K bars (or as my mom calls them Cereal Candy Delicious Addictive Bars), went swimming, ate lunch, and went to WICKED.

we ate at Arcadia Farms shopped at Domestic Bliss got our butts burned on a BIG pink sofa

ate lunch at Tia Rosa's

went to Wicked we also ate at Bahama Bucks and In N Out.

For one week my parents and I went to Utah. For the first half we spent time with family on the Dibble and Gregory side and then the second half of our trip we spent time in Zion National Park with they Wiscombe family. We stayed at the beautiful Zion Ponderosa. While there we spent a day in the Park which was beautiful. We also went on a hike called Angel's Landing. I was really nervous about going all the way because the last part we had to use chains but it was worth it. The view was breathtaking and the pictures don't do it justice. I had a great time!
