Las Vegas Vacation - At Suncoast Hotel . . .

In the lobby with the girls.

We stayed at the Suncoast Hotel in Las Vegas.

Jessika Turned 11 in July . . .

Jessika had a wonderful 11th birthday this year.

I thought this doll looked a lot like her.

My parents are always so supportive of our family birthdays.

The cake was really pretty and yummy inside.

Happy Birthday sweet Jessika.

Patriotic Cuties . . .

My daughters all dressed up in red, white and blue on Sunday.

McKay is such a sweet boy. Here he is embracing the flag of freedom.

McKay doesn't like the sun in his eyes.

Here is my 3 year old in her new blue and white outfit, so sweet.

These girls are turning into such good friends. Looking festive girls.

Stadium of Fire . . .

I took my daughters to the Stadium of Fire on July 2nd. David Archuleta and Brad Paisley were the main entertainment. We had wonderful chair seats, but sat on the East side and the sun was in our eyes for the first hour and a half. Next year we will be getting tickets on the West side, definitely a must.

I also invited my friend Norma to the Stadium of Fire. She really enjoyed it too.

They had a wonderful men and women's choral group singing patriotic songs.

The fireworks were amazing even though my camera did not do it justice.

This is something that I will look forward to every year.

Taylor Turns 15 . . .

We always love to decorate for our kids, have cake and open presents. Taylor is excited to finally turn 15. She is a sweet daughter and we love her very much.

15 Candles . . .

Taylor turned 15 on June 25. We celebrated her birthday on Monday the 27th.

I hope you made a wonderful wish, Taylor.

Happy Birthday, Taylor. Hope you had a nice birthday week.

My parents are always so nice to come over to help us celebrate our birthdays.

Horse and Carriage Ride . . .

It is always a tradition for Steven and I to enjoy a carriage ride during our anniversary weekend. Last year it rained really hard, but this year the weather was really nice, just a little windy, but warm.

Our driver took us all the way back to our hotel, too.

Joseph Smith Memorial and Roof Restaurant . . .

The Joseph Smith Memorial celebrated 100 years in June. It was fun to be up in Salt Lake during that time.

I love looking out the window from the Roof Restaurant and seeing the Salt Lake Temple. I have always loved this Temple, especially because my parents and grandparents were both married here.

Steven and I had a nice table, but it wasn't by a window.

It is a tradition to eat at the Roof Restaurant during our anniversary weekend.

Temple Square . . .

W took quite a few beautiful pictures around the Temple.

More Pictures from Temple Square . . .

The flowers were gorgeous on the temple grounds. I love flowers and love the summer.

Our Anniversary Weekend . . .

Steven and I celebrated our anniverary at the Little America in Salt Lake. We had a wonderful room with a gorgeous view. It was so nice to have the rest and relaxation we needed.
