Recap........

So - there are just a few of the highlights of our Summer in Utah. We did SO many fun things - made SO many fun memories and REALLY enjoyed escaping the heat of Arizona! One of the highlights for both of us was when we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. Cassie has wanted to see the inside of a temple for SO long, and it was just a really neat experience for us to be there together. Cassie was amazed at how beautiful it was, and her favorite room was the Sealing Room. She and I got to spend some time in there alone talking. It was a really neat experience. Cassie had so much fun having sleep overs with cousins, going on adventures with Mom, tasting for the FIRST TIME......the fry sauce from Ripples....which she now claims to be the BEST she has ever tasted! I was able to make two batched of triple berry jam and a two batches of salsa! YUMMY.....Joel was VERY excited to have some Jam back in the house - and I LOVE LOVE LOVE salsa - so it was nice to re-stock the shelves - THANKS MOM for the help!! We both had SO much fun and were sad to see it end....but all good things must come to an end! It was another great summer in PARADISE!!!

I am so glad we got to see you this summer. I'm bummed though that I missed the open house, Solei did go with her cousin for YW while we were there though.

LOVED the Oquirrh Mountain Temple!
We squeaked in on the last day, and were able to go through. It was amazingly beautiful. Something about being able to walk through a temple with your kids is just amazing. Sadie fell in love with the chandeliers.
It was awesome to have you here, and get to spend time with you and Cassie. We missed Joel, but greatly appreciate his hard work for your family.
Loves from Utah!
