Utah in a nutshell


Our month long exodus to Utah started with a family reunion in Centerville with Lance's immediate family...

It was a packed weekend.
* 4th of July Parade
* Eric got engaged to Shelby
* Carnival
* Olivia baby blessing
* The Church History Children's Exhibit
* And lots and lots of food!!!













After Lance left for Austin on the 6th I spent the next 2 weeks at my parents house with the girls.
On the days when my mom didn't have to work we did fun stuff like...
*Spending the day at liberty park
*The Church History Children's Exhibit....again.
*Going out to Costa Vida
* Going up both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons to get out of the heat
*Shopping
* Eating Old Grist Mill Bread
*Making peanut brittle and granola....and strawberry shortcake....and lots more yummy food.
(Sadly I didn't get very many pictures during these 2 weeks....)

The 24th of July Cottonwood Heights Parade



It was a lovely month.
I enjoyed every bit of being in Utah and relished all the time I was able to spend with family.
Thanks for all the wonderful memories and help with the kids, Mom and Dad, and all the Jensen's and "soon to be" Jensen's :)

Now it's home to the 105 degree weather and trying to establish some sort of summer routine...
at least for the next 3 weeks until Beth starts kindergarten and Izzy goes off to preschool.
