Taylor Turns 14 . . .

Our oldest daughter Taylor turned 14 the end of June.

We had a fun party for her, then she also had a friend's party.

Scavenger hunts are so fun for my kids.

Getaway to Salt Lake City . . .

Steven and I always enjoy going to the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg. We love the movie, Joseph Smith, the Restoration, what a wonderful tribute to our Prophet, Joseph Smith. We also ate dinner at the Roof restaurant. It was a really rainy day so we didn't get to have a horse and carriage ride like we normally would.

You can see how rainy it was from inside the Roof Restaurant. I always love seeing pictures of the Salt Lake Temple. What a magnificant temple.

We stayed at the Little America hotel and had a gorgeous room with a perfect view.

Steven and I had a wonderful weekend together. Thank you Chelsea for watching the kids and doing such a great job.

Happy Birthday Steven Dear . . .

The kids and I surprised Steven at his work with balloons and lunch from In and Out Burger. They had a nice time touring his lab.

Steven always enjoys a good ice cream cake for his birthday.

We had a small party for Steven with my parents and the kids. Everyone had a good time.

Happy Birthday Steven, I love you very much. You are a wonderful husband and father and I hope you had a great birthday dear. Thank you for being such a loving husband.
