Random September

We've been getting creative and making dairy free foods for Whitney. These Pretzels were SOOO good. 
Whitney created a crime scene for her forensic science class. Sort of weird. 
September boating makes me happy...

I took the kids on separate dates to the Big Lake Trading Post. They have unique sodas there. Tyler picked Fidel Castro's Havana Banana. Weird.
Zach bought a hoverboard. He's been wanting one for a long time. I'm proud of him for saving up for it.

A Temple Day with Ezra

We felt so luck to be in the Snowflake temple while Ezra received his endowment. It was a tiny group of 14. This pandemic sure has turned everything upside down. It was so nice to get back to this holy place.

Getaway to California

We decided to head to the West Coast for a little getaway last week. We visited the Reids for a few days and then met up with the Tates. Who pretty much feel like an extention of our real family. We loved visiting the beach with the Reid's friends and family and seeing how they live in their part of the world. Their family is so cute and we loved connecting with them for a few days. 











We went to Crystal Cove and did some exploring in the tide pools. Loved the little crabs and sea anemones. 












Built a fort

Their friend, Joe, has a dope pool




My mantra
Off to Marriot Newport Coast Villas to meet up with the Tates and play.











Whitney, Josh and I went on a little exploration and found some cool rock formations and creatures.
















Trying a random pepper that he found. Fortunately he didn't swallow it like Cole. Cole's didn't stay down!


My new favorite candy


















So many beautiful super cars to see and HEAR! They boys were loving this part of the trip!

We met back up with the Reids and headed to the Balboa Island to try Balboa bars. Lots of good food on this trip!
