We attended the Mammoth Lakes Branch for church today.  It's a very small branch and it was a fun and unique experience for our family.  These kids made up the entire Primary and Nursery today.  They normally have one or two kids but they were both gone today so it was just us.  Relief Society and Priesthood were combined and there were about 10 people total in class.  After church we laid around the condo and played games and watched TV and then in the evening we took a drive and did some exploring.

We drove to Mammoth Lakes, California today for a week long vacation with our friends Ryan and Brianne Larsen.  Bert's work has a vacation condo that they will rent to employees for $100 for a week.  It was a 10 hour drive but the kids did so good and we only stopped one time to eat our lunch and stretch our legs.

Bert and I were asked to be a Ma and Pa at Trek this summer and we just found out that we will be in charge of cooking our own dutch oven breakfasts.  Bert and I don't know a thing about cooking in a dutch oven so we went over to Mom and Dad's tonight and they helped walk us through it.  We made a Mountain Man Breakfast.  It turned out pretty good.  Hopefully it will on Trek too.

Tonight was Rylee and Drew's Preschool Graduation!  They have been practicing their songs for months now and did such a good job.


All of these kids have had Mrs. Young and we have loved her.  Unfortunately, this is her last year so Addi and Jordy won't be able to have her.  She's been so great and we will definitely miss her!

I took these 3 to see Sleeping Beauty at the Hale Center Theater today.  They always do such a good job and the kids and I loved it.

We celebrated Tiff's birthday today by going out to dinner at The Brick Oven and then gathering at Nana's for presents and Snickerdoodle Blondies.

I bought these Sofia sunglasses yesterday while we were shopping up in Salt Lake.  Jordy loves them!

Bert's been gone this week to his annual Boyz-E Invitational.  They pretty much just golf, eat, and sleep while they are there.  He was really excited to text me this picture today and tell me that he had won the tournament this year.  Now this awesome trophy and mustard jacket are going to be proudly displayed in our home until next year.  I couldn't be more excited! ;)

Erin, Mom, Becky and I planned a surprise getaway for Tiff this weekend to celebrate her birthday.  Dave, Ben and Papa were kind enough to watch all of the kids while we picked her up at her school and drove up to Salt Lake.  We checked into the City Creek Marriott and then walked to The Melting Pot for dinner.  Tiff was very surprised and we all had a great time!

I woke up today and decided I was going to finally paint my front door.  I've been talking about doing it ever since we bought this house but it had never been at the top of my priority list.  I finally decided on a color and bought the paint and mom played with the girls and fed them lunch while I painted.  It seemed like it took forever but was really only about 4 hours.


I'm not sure how I feel about the new color.  I definitely like it better than the maroon but I'm not sold on it yet.  I think I just need to get used to it because it catches me off guard when I see it.  Hopefully it will grow on me because it was a pain to paint.

Addi threw all of her stuffed animals in Jordy's bed when they woke up from their naps.  Jordy thought it was so funny to have all of them in her bed.

We stopped at Harmon's after we picked up Ry from Preschool so I could grab a few things for our BBQ at the Wightman's tonight.  While we were in the produce section, one of the workers came up and handed the girls a coupon to have one free piece of fruit.  They all picked an orange and we went straight home to eat it with our lunch!

Jacks participated in the Hope of America program tonight.  Tiff offered to keep the girls (which was such a lifesaver, because it was crazy down there) and Bert, Cooper, Nana, Papa and I all went to watch. The program was really good but when it was over it was total mayhem and it took us an hour from the time it ended until we got home.  I was so glad I didn't have 3 little girls to keep track of.

Rylee had a field trip today to the fire station with her Preschool.  Ben was in charge of the presentation so he invited her, Drew and their friend Tyson up to help with the role play part.


Then we went outside and the kids got to look around the fire truck and spray the water.

This girl is crazy good at Temple Run.  We were taking turns playing it today and her turns were like 4 times longer than mine because I am not as coordinated and would run straight off a cliff.

Bert's work just moved this last weekend.  They are in a brand new building in Draper and the Front Runner stop is in the parking lot.  His commute is going to be so much shorter and easier than when he was going to Cottonwood Heights.
