Saturday night was "Midnight Madness" at Gardner Village (now's the time for anyone who is familiar with this place to say oooooooohhhh! FUN, unless of course you are of male gender and then you roll your eyes and probably dry heave a little as Mike would do). Heidi, my friend Beth, and I went for what was supposed to be an hour of fun but ended up being an "all night of fun". They have great deals, games, prizes, etc. I finally found my bed spread for our new bedroom set, and got some decor to go along with it. I was SO happy. While "the girls" were having fun shopping, laughing, shopping, etc. Mike and the not-old-enough-girl went to a park next to our house and celebrated 50's nights with tattoos, mazes, entertainment, etc. Thought I'd show you my tattoo princess!! (Oh, and I thought I'd include a picture of Beth and I after a night of exhausting fun!)

Silver Lake

We decided to take a little trip up to the mountains today to get out of the heat and enjoy the beauty Utah has to offer. These are some pictures from Silver Lake. You forget how beautiful the mountain scenery we have is and often take for granted. When we lived in Denver we were so disappointed at how far you had to drive to get what we here in Utah have in just a matter of 20 minutes. It was perfect up there. Reagan loved the little lake and looking at the animals. We had a nice little picnic when we were done and watched all the squirrels scurry around searching for food.

Family Pictures

We have never had an official family picture so my friend Beth's sister is a photographer and we went to Thanksgiving Point and had some taken. She did a great job! Of course there are several I had to post because....well, because Reagan is just so cute...so sorry for the many.

A block of cheese and a raw hotdog...what this girl will eat! Luckily, she's not a picky eater. Pretty much anything she can see or you give her goes into her mouth!

Where has summer gone?! Although it's still very hot outside, it's hard to believe that in a few short weeks the kids will be back in school and cooler weather will arrive. Here are a few pics of family from last weekend.

Emmett - isn't he so cute!
