Jandie turns 18

Jandie turned 18 years old yesterday. She wanted a spaghetti dinner and blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Lyndie came over and spent the evening with us. During the day she went Laser tagging with Brayden.
Happy Birthday to my baby who is all grown up...

Staycation


Dennis' week of vacation finally came and he decided he wanted a low-key vacation this year so we took day jaunts through the week and at out a lot. (YEA for me - no cooking!)
Tuesday we went to Park City and rode the Alpine Slide and Coaster. It was a blast, that coaster goes pretty fast and was great fun! On Thursday we took a picnic lunch up to Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was so beautiful! We took the Guardsman Pass Road and got out at the end and enjoyed the beautiful views all the wildflowers.

I finally used my new camera on a tri-pod with the timer.
It was really weird to only have one of our kids on vacation with us this year. Cole had field work all week and was actually in Big Cottonwood Canyon that day too. We saw the UVU van parked off the side of the rode and Den left him a note that said "Cole Rocks" on the windshield. Cole is a geology major.
It's been a nice break from the routine.
