Bowling with the Family

two nights while Brad's parents were in town last week we went bowling. The first night Julie and I were defeated by the kids team! Yes we will admit we had a bad night, something was off, we think it was the lane that was angled wrong. So we had a re-match the following night, we didn't start off well again so we asked for bumpers, but I guess there is an age limit (12) to have those so we had to do it on our own. Julie and I were able to beat those little munchkins this time. Brad and everyone else did great both nights they didn't have our problem! It was a lot of fun hanging out with everyone.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

A group of us went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House last week. It is so neat to go through the temple with your kids so they have a chance to see inside before it is dedicated. We all had a great time through the tour and the kids especially liked the cookies and water after the tour! This temple is West of the Jordan River Temple in the hills West of the I-15. Angel Moroni got struck by lightning a couple of weeks ago because there is nothig big around this temple. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to go through this temple and the Draper temple in such close times to each other.

Ava Turns 2

We had a fun Birthday Party for Miss Ava on Sunday with her cousins and aunts and uncles. She enjoyed opening her gifts (light spinner, princess ball, care bear coloring book, bracelets made by her two favorite girls (Alyssa and Addy), a music triangle and M&M's and an old fashion Jack in the Box. Brad practiced with Ava teaching her to blow out her candles. All morning she went around the house blowing on things.
Happy Birthday Ava!!!!
