Rafting at Green River

This past weekend we drove to Manila, UT with all Simon's brothers. We were heading to see dad, mama Aleta, Ashton, and baby Adeline. Adeline was blessed today and we wanted to be there. We got there late Friday night. On Saturday we went rafting on the Green River. It was awesome. We all had such a good time together. It was pretty cloudy and we got rained on a bit, but no one got bad sunburns which was good. The water was freezing and Kevin tried to push Simon in, but they both ended up going in. We had water fights with other rafters and had a nice lunch on the side of the river.

Chillaxing with the Goddard Family

This past Saturday we went to dinner at my old boss' house. It is the first time we have all hung out since being back from England. I missed them! They are like family to me. My good friend Carmen was also in town between Oxford and a project in Nicaragua. My sister Kira and her husband Jeff came too with Eve and Jeffrey. We ate hot dogs, home made ice cream, and talked over the fire pit. It was a lovely evening. I always love hanging out with good friends.

The Goddard's had a bounce house in their shed... Jeffrey loved it!

Eve wasn't so sure about it

Sunday Milkshake Party

I am a little behind on blogging, but two Sundays ago we had Kira, Jeff, Jeffrey, and Eve over for milkshakes. Milkshakes are probably my favorite treat. I also love donuts. The top spot may be a toss up. Peanut butter milkshakes are one of my favorites. I also love Oreo milkshakes. Here are some picts:

Two straws are the only way to go

More Family Time: BYU Campus

Becky and Kyle wanted to take their girls to BYU campus while they were here, so we went this past Monday. We stopped by the bookstore, went to the MOA, and ate lunch in the Cougareat. It was the last day we were all together. I miss them already.

Perfect Eve

These two will be good friends- Phoebe and Eve
