Did I mention yet...

...that this is my favorite place and I maybe want to move back to Spanish Fork just so I can go here all summer long?

And Spanish Fork is getting a brand new Costco. Honestly. Somebody find me a house. I'm starting to pack right now.

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we went up to Midway to visit with Mark, Liz, and Remy (who were visiting from Switzerland) and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast and fantastic dinner (no photos, I must have been too busy eating) and a fantastic afternoon. Here are our photos of our "hike" up Memorial Hill and our little stop at the Heber Valley Artisan Cheese Factory just down the street. The weather was fantastic and I felt like I really was on vacation - not just "down the street" for a quick day trip. Thanks Rob and Marlies and gang for such a fun day. We are all sunburned to prove it!!

Shades!

 We even found some little piggies... so of course we had to stop. They came right up to us!!

 Mt. Timpanogos right ahead - good thing our road turned the other direction. I don't think I'm in shape for that mountain right now.
 Rob and Marlies live in there. They have a green roof. You can try to find their house if you want. It kind of hard to point it out.




 This memorial is called "The Final Salute."



 We only had one child fall off a big rock into all the sharp little rocks... and she's fine, thank goodness. I was expecting profuse bleeding from the back of her head when I heard her screaming and turned to look, but she actually just has a few scrapes on her face, and a fun story to tell.




 Thank you  Mark and Liz for the ice cream.




Photos from the last two months...

... in which I went missing.

Lukas ate ice cream and cake for the first time.
 Lukas was still really cute.
The kids wanted to pose with stuffed animals.
 Lukas found my "stash" in my purse.
 The kids and I had a "pizza party picnic" out front of the church before pack meeting.
 We enjoyed Grandma Carolyn's concert with ALL of the Mock cousins.

 Joshua and Abigail "played" with Lukas.
 We made a lot of pancakes - with powdered milk and powdered eggs. I'm getting really good at this. Come on over if you want a pancake party.
 I really really enjoyed all those pancakes.
