Happenings!!!

This week we had some fun HAPPENINGS! These are just a few...

Count down with me would ya!?

First: We enjoyed a visit up to the Logan TEMPLE for FHE! They were just about to close the gate, so we spent just a few minutes to take a picture as a family.
Laugh and take a picture of this GREAT sign!! Ha ha! Gotta love the humor even at the Temple.
Have a mini lesson with the boys about Temples!
And of course Roll down the hill as a family. The temple worker said we should. So we did.
All the other families there were doing the same thing. Must be the thing to do?? The kids LOVED everything about going to the temple. (We are planning another trip next week to see the other side of it.)
After which we ate some Little Caesar pizza outside of the Zeppies! We got one of those too. YUMMY and MUCH needed. (Davin this week had HERPES of the MOUTH! ~HORRIBLE I tell ya, HORRIBLE!! I guess it has been going around and pretty much is cold sores all over the mouth, cheeks and down the throat. Very painful and miserable for kids. Sometimes they even have to be hospitalized due to the pain and dehydration. UGH!) Zeppies Italian Ice was great to numb up his mouth and make him happy just for a bit. We will be going to be going back there for sure. It was super cheap and yummy too.
YUMMY!! It looks late, but it wasn't!

Right across the street is this "America First" bank. My boys every time we drive by it lately say it is the Temple. I always laugh and say that it LOOKS sorta like it. This particular night they realized the one we had just been to REALLY is the REAL temple. Funny stuff we hear from kids. It was a great and funny family night for sure.


Second Happening: We are starting to REALLY pick and enjoy our harvest. Here is our onions this year. We thought last years were BIG. This years they are even BIGGER! Like HUGE really! Lots of them too.

The LEFT one is showing you a REGULAR sized onion you would normally buy at the grocery store. The RIGHT ones are our "WILLA BEASTS!"

Like my MELONS?
This picture is for YOU Cousin JONI! I enjoyed your melons so much, I had to show off mine. Ha ha. These really are Aaron's home grown and delish YELLOW watermelons. So tasty!!
Third Happening: Park of the week was Ryan's place! The boys enjoyed the slides of course.
The plane was the ULTIMATE joy of the day. Super cute!
Since we were in River Heights, we stopped by to take a picture of my Grandparents old place. Great and wonderful memories were made here. The house was white, and the yard was totally different of course. All of their land is sold and tons of homes have gone in around it. Made me miss my Grandparents so much. LOVE YOU ALMA and NORMA!!

Fourth Happening: One night we rode our bikes from our house to LOGAN'S HEROS SUBS! Yum, our favs!! It was a lovely evening out for a bike ride as a family...and of course get to a DELISH destination.
Fifth Happening: One night we promised the boys that since the weather was still pretty nice we would roast some mellows over the fire out back. They were in heaven, and even more so when the cousins came and joined in with us. We watched the stars too. Ohh how we are going to miss the nice weather. BOO to winter!
Boys sure LOVE their FIRES!
Sixth Happening: The USU HOMECOMING PARADE!! Oh how we are a parade LOVIN' family. We love to see all the people and floats, but more importantly...get all the LOOT. HA!

My sweet NIECE is right smack dab in the middle of that AMAZING USU pep band, playing the symbols! HA ha (She normally plays the clarinet, but they needed her to do these for the band.)
It was great to scream and hoot and hauler at her.
Davin was in a trance at the COOLNESS of it all!

Lots of family joined in to enjoy this SWEET parade on such a PERFECT and WARM morning!

We all even got FREE chicken sandwiches from Chick-Fe-la! Dad was thoroughly enjoying his sandwich pictured below. Ha Ha!
Seventh Happening: This was the awaited weekend! Christian (my nephew) spoke at his farewell!! I just can't believe that he already is leaving on his mission to RUSSIA! He will do a great job and we all will miss him MUCHO!

He did an incredible job on his talk. We enjoyed hanging with so many family members after the meetings and eating a yummy meal!
Even Grandpa V showed up!

Sisters goofing around! Love ya sis miss.

Then it was time to take a few memory picture before the GOODBYES! Sob sob... Christian and his parents!
LOVE you Christian! I will miss you SOOOO much!!

Eighth Happening: We then dropped in to see and MEET the newest member of the family. My sister just added a new little NEPHEW to the mix. Meet little MR. NATHAN TYLER!
I even got a little HUG from the little guy. So sweet and fun for sure. Congrats CRISTI!
Ninth Happening: Monday morning we had the opportunity to meet and pet our very first CATERPILLAR!! The boys were in HEAVEN over this soft little furry fella. Me too, I hadn't seen one in years.
Finally it was time to move on to other important things like...playing with sticks with their new little friends.

Those are just a few of the happenings...and now we are good to go for another week of adventures!
