Memorial Day/Dad's Birthday Celebration/Photo Shoot

Memorial Day once again!! I always look forward to this day each year!! Our tradition includes going to Herriman, UT for breakfast!! The food is always so tasty!!  After we were all full a few of us went over to the playground to watch Cole as he explored.  Then we decided to play Frisbee.  Here are pictures from our adventures!!

These are all of my supplies.

What a Day Off.......

On this day Sam had work off but it wasn't his normal day off.  He had switched with another co-worker to help him out.  Sam felt like this was a good move when he realized that he would be able to attend his friend (Jordan Deuel) wedding in Bountiful.  We woke up early that morning and went and got some doughnuts at Reams before heading out on the road.  We made our way to Bountiful and was just in time.  After the lovely ceremony we went outside to wait for the happy couple and so I shot a few pictures to help us remember that day.

Here is Sam looking all dashing in front of the Temple

So lovely!!

After the pictures Sam and I walked around the temple and we saw this  fuzzy bumblebee.

Here is a picture of all of the wedding party. We are in the back row.

Here is the Bride and Groom with all of the friends.


In between the temple and the luncheon Sam and I went on an adventure and went to Barnes and Noble and the Dollar Store.  It was fun!!

After the wedding we took a pit stop to the Gateway in SLC and  stopped at the Union Pacific Station.

Another stop was the Clark Planetarium where Sam was playing with this cool toy!!

Sam's on Mars!!
