Memorial Day weekend at Brian Head

We had a fantastic weekend at the Twiggs'cabin at Brian Head. Thanks so much to them for their hospitality. It was so nice to be all together. The weather was stormy at times but that wasn't a problem since we had lots of games and movies and eating going on 24-7. Everybody made wonderful meals and deserts were exceptional I would say. The guys got some motorcycle riding in between storms. We drove over to Cedar Breaks and that is awesome everytime you see it. All of the little cousins had so much fun playing non-stop with never a quarrel. It's so much fun to be with the family and enjoy each others company. Thanks to everyone that made it so fun and thanks again to the Twiggs. On the way home we drove out west of Parawan to see some Indian pictures carved into the rocks. They are right by the side of the road. It's hard to imagin that they are so old.

Happy Memorial Day

 
 
 
 
Here are some pictures for those who can't get to the cemetary this Memorial Day Weekend.

Lest We Forget

 
 
 

Dakota's Ballroom Dance

Dakota belongs to the Jr. High Ballroom Dance Team. They recently went to competition and won 1st place. They are so fun to watch. Here is a little video of a dance that they did in the end of the year program. Keep it up Dakota.

Spring is finally here

 
 
Spring has finally come to our house in Orem. I love the blossoms! I love the lilacs! I love spring!

So this is the arrangement that I made for my kitchen. It makes me happy.

Two shows

 
 
We have been to two great shows lately. A couple of weeks ago a few of us got to go to Wicked. Tim was able to get 8 tickets and graciously sold us a couple. It was such a fun evening and the show was great. Not being a fan of "The Wizard of Oz", I was the one that went into the show with a just a hint of skepticism. It was a great show and had a wonderful message of how to love and treat others that might be a little different (even green). The last song was inspiring and brought tears to my eyes (I know thats not hard to do).

Last night, we went to "The World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions". Since I was a little girl I have wanted to see the beautiful horses from Vienna perform. They are magnificent and amazing. Loved the show.

Brandi's Graduation

 
 
 
Congratulations go out to Brandi who just graduated from Utah State University with a masters in Speech and Language pathology. It was a really tough program and she stuck to it, plowed through it, and conquered it with a diploma in hand this weekend. I didn't get any close ups of Brandi at graduation so I'll put in a picture of Tim and Jess at Brandi's graduation and let Tim post pictures of Brandi in her cap and gown. We did celebrate with a barbeque Friday night. Saturday, Brandi's family had a baby shower for her. She got lots of darling baby girl things.
