Goodbye Isabel & Temple Trip

As soon as we got back from Moab it was busy, busy. We had one day to celebrate Isabel before she left early Saturday morning. So we went to Maddox which is my sisters favorite restaurant. After a delicious dinner, we went into Logan to play at a park. We decided to go to Willow Zoo and the kids liked the animals. Then we went to Angie's to Beat the Sink ice-cream challenge. It was awesome! We had such a great day! 

The next morning started bright and early. Isabel had to be at the airport at 7:30am. It was a tearful goodbye! We will miss her and her fun personality in our home. After she left we went to temple square to kill a few hours. Then it was on to Mount Timpanogos Temple where my sister got her endowments out. It was such a special day to be there with both my sisters, my parents, and one brother. Now we need to get the other brother. After a big dinner at Chuck-A-Rama we headed home. What an emotional day! 

Moab

The week after school let out we took one last trip with Isabel. We went to Moab. We saw Arches two days, and then Goblin Valley another. We had such a great time! The kids hiked all over the place, we saw beautiful scenery, and we had many good laughs. We also made a few new favorite things to do while in Moab like go to the sand arch, and hike around Goblin Valley. Things we want to do again when we go back. It was a great three day, two night stay. Even if our first camp site was HORRIBLE, we found another one and it was great. It was a good last week with Isabel vacation! 

RB's Birthday

RB has a hard birthday. It's the end of the year and I suck as a wife. So his birthday came and I had ZERO presents! So we went shopping in Logan. He was pretty happy with his haul/loot. Then we went to dinner a day later to celebrate. Yes, those candles are in the shape of a 3 and an 8. RB is such a wonderful husband and father. I'm truly blessed each day by his goodness and love! 

Buddy Boy's Kindergarten Graduation

RB made ribs and they were a huge success for dinner. The Em-A-Nator loved it so much she didn't want to stop eating the bones. 

Buddy Boy graduated kindergarten. They sang 4 songs and then we saw them get a hat and diploma. He was very cute and did a great job!

 Then the Em-A-Nator got too quiet and when she was discovered she was covered in ink. Oh the memories of MJ doing the same thing. :)
