Wedding Bells for Kellen & Shanna Mae

My very adorable nephew Kellen and his sweet girlfriend Shanna Mae got married July 10th!

What a fun couple they are going to be. Rebecca and I left Idaho that morning and made it in plenty of time for the ceremony. The beautiful part of it was my dad was the sealer for the ceremony in the Jordan River Temple.
I've never seen Kellen so happy. And I think Shanna Mae does not know how to do anything but smile!

After the ceremony we went to a luncheon at the famous Lion House. The most beautiful place, and the food was perfect. (Bob and I also had our wedding luncheon at the Lion House)

My cute niece and nephew Crystal & Garrett sat at our table. What cute (Available) BYU-I students they are.

It was fun getting reacqainted with my nieces and nephews, two that I haven't met before.

It was a very fast trip, but had a great time! (Thanks Kellen for giving me an excuse to go to Utah)

(Tressa, remember who I am, so next time we see you, we can bond again)
(Thanks Marshall for letting Derek try out the Hummer.. you always come in STYLE)

"Birthday Girls!!!"

After being out of town for the weekend, all I wanted to do was sit in my house and have a quiet birthday doing pretty much nothing. It was kind of like that. Derek had tutor Gina (Thanks for the vegetable bowl, and the beautiful plant), we walked the Butte, and then Derek and I made cupcakes.

Two cute little girl in our ward also celebrate their birthdays on July 19th.

Derek and I packed some cupcakes up and drove over to Sierra's house and then to Britlan's.

Sierra turned 10 and Britlan turned 2. (Oh to be so young!)

Thanks girls for sharing your birthday with me!

Fun at the Flatbread Pizzeria!!!

We have a very nice, generous (and a skilled volleyball player) friend named Phyllis. She has a special interest in Derek. They have bonded and enjoy being together. Phyllis checked out this fun place in the Old Mill District. Flatbread Pizzeria! Finally we went today for lunch. The afternoon was all about Derek. His most favorite food (O.K., tied with chicken nuggets) is pizza. At this place the kids get to make their own pizza, watch it cook and then finally eat it. While Derek ate his pizza (I almost wanted to say inhaled it) we enjoyed delicious salads! Thanks Phyllis for encouraging me to find new places for Derek to enjoy! We had fun and the food was delicious! (Phyllis got a kick out of the "Chocolate chip cookie mustache" at the end!
