Taylorsville Dayzz and visit from Adrienne

Taylorsville Dayzz is a way fun weekend here in Taylorsville, UT. Full of carnival rides, food, games, shows and fireworks (not to mention the 5K and parade that start the festivites off - pics to come soon). This particular year was especially specail since my cousin Adrienne came out to visit us all. We have not seen her in about 10 years so it was so good to catch up and reconnect (thank you Facebook for that :-). A great time was had by all... looking forward to next year!

Ward Luau

Our ward put on a Luau activity last month. There was yummy food, slushies, fun games, music, and a roasted pig!! I was on the committee at the time and was busy running back and forth refilling the burgers and hot dogs while Liane and Salomon had fun together. Way fun activity!!Here Salomon is throwing a hula hoop at Liane and trying to get it around her - she is LOVING it!
Salomon teaching Liane to roll down a hill... again, LOVING it!!

Oh my this was so funny. Watching everyone try to use a pogo stick was awesome! Got the best pic of my Dad LOL!!

Bowling

Salomon and I went bowling with my brother Jake and his girlfriend Ashlee. This was the first time Salomon and I had ever gone bowling together. It was good times and I want to go again!!

Deseret First Credit Union 5K

Each year Salomon's work puts on a 5K for the employee's. He was excited to run it this year and did a great job!

Mother's Day (cont...)

On Saturday we had a picnic at the park with Salomon's family and on Sunday we made homemade pizzas with my family. Good times and a very happy Mother's Day to all!

Mother's Day

We started a tradition years ago of taking a picture of Liane and I every Mother's Day. I am so grateful we did! Each year Liane has given me one of the sweetest gifts she could give me - a beautiful pic of her and I. She amazes me each her by actually looking AT the camera and SMILING!! What more could a mom ask for? I am so blessed to be a mom, but most especially for being Liane's mommy!!

Salomon's 33rd Birthday Weekend!

For birthdays we usually make a big meal and have everyone over. This year Salomon wanted to do something a little bit different for his birthday (which was on friday). He wanted to spend the day in Park City - having lunch and shopping at the outlets - and come back home for cake and gifts. We did just that and had a wonderful time!! On Sunday we had a little get together with my family where he recieved more gifts and dessert. Now thats the way to do it!! Thank you to everyone for spending time with us on Salomon's birthday, for all the wonderful gifts and for helping to make his day really special and fun!

Birthday #1

Birthday lunch at Ruby Tuesday's in Park City - yum-o!!

After the fun at Park City, we came back to our house to have some dessert (a yummy berry cheesecake made by yours truly) and for Salomon to open some more gifts.

Birthday Party #2

We got together with my family after church (and dinner) to have some yummy dessert and for gifts. We had jello jigglers (one of Salomon's favorite treats) and he got some more wonderful gifts.

Truman Elementary 5K

A couple of weekends ago our local elementary school put on a 5K to raise money for the school. Salomon and my Dad participated in it and both did really well. Salomon rocked it by coming in 6th place and my Dad finished the whole thing without walking (of which he thought he might have to do) and both had great times! Way to go guys!!

Latino America Event

Salomon's parents were involved in putting together and participating in an event put on by their church branch to help those in their stake and community learn more about the Latin cultures. It was a wonderful event full of dances, music, exhibits and food from the different Latin countries. It was well done, a lot of fun, and the food was amazing!! And of course there was dancing afterwards. Great time had by all!!

Having a good time- Liane turned into quite the dancing queen by the end of the night!

Easter Sunday - Temple Square

We started a tradition with Salomon's family of meeting at Temple Square inbetween conference sessions on Sunday for lunch. We all pack food, bring it to the eating area in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (located on the bottom floor) and enjoy lunch together. This year General Conference landed on Easter weekend so it was an extra special day. We love going downtown and we really could not have asked for better weather!!
