Our Next Adventure

Our next adventure has begun!  We are in our new home, I have started my new job, the kiddos are in school, and we have been to our new church.  Things are falling into place and we are loving all of the new things happening in our lives.  We had our first dinner in our backyard with family.  It was great!  Nice temperatures, food on the bbq and a cozy fireplace to top it all off!  There are quite a few trails and green space areas around our neighborhood as well.  We have been trying to explore them and see where they all lead to.

Warm Weather

We have been loving the nice weather for the past few weeks.  It has been sunny and in the 70's pretty much everyday.  Because of this nice weather, we have been outside as much as possible taking advantage of it.  There are some great spots in Olympia that are perfect for the kids.  We love the kid's river and the splash pad. 
Here's to warm weather and cute kiddos! 

The simple things

Kids get so excited and entertained by the simple things in life.  It's true and it's awesome.  Yesterday, while I was at work, I got some pics from the wifey of T and D at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.  She said is was pure joy as T ran around the temple grounds singing primary songs about going to the temple, etc.....  It was a simple thing that made them happy.  And isn't this picture awesome?  T is a great big brother. 

Then last night we went on a walk down to the clubhouse in our neighborhood and we stopped at the park byu our house on the way home.  As we were about a block from our house we spotted a bright yellow and red ball in an open lot.  I grabbed it and started playing pass with T.  For the next half hour we played with the ball in the front yard.  It was pure joy on his face just from a little ball that we found, ha!  How cool is that though?  He even asked for the ball to be in his room before he went to bed, ha.  Who is this kid?

I love our fence as the backdrop, don't you?

It's the simple things in life that truly make you happy, just ask toddler T.  I love these simple mellow summer nights that we get to spend together.

Emigration Market Re-Opens

Emigration Market was the perfect store for a young kid growing up in Salt Lake City.  You see, I was raised just 1 block away from Emigration and I would always sneak away to get drinks and candy from the store.  It was the perfect market.  It was eventually sold and the new owners tried to turn it into a fancy market, or something like that.  They eventually failed and Harmons bought it and re-did the entire store and they opened its doors again yesterday!  It looks awesome now!!

Although I don't like in that same area anymore, I am sure I will still go by and visit since I my parents and a couple of my siblings still live in that neighborhood.  Thanks for all of the memories!
