Open House for Mike & Kim

My brother Mike & Kim were married in May in Las Vegas. Some of our family & friends were unable to make it from Utah, so we decided to throw them an open house this past week. We had chocolate & nacho cheese fountains with all the trimmings & fruit galour! It was pretty and delicious! We had originally planned to hold it outdoors, but an hour before while decorating our canopy tent snapped in half by a big gust of wind, so we had to bring everything inside! Of course a 1/2 hour before the weather cleared and it turned out to be a beautiful evening.

Manti Pageant with 2 Turks

Here we are in Manti for the Morman Miracle Pageant. Jeff & Shannon & Justin & Kim Turcsanski & families came along to enjoy some country life. Here is just a few pics of the fun filled weekend we had.
Brielle, Camryn & Jacob taking turns pulling the wagon. This was the favorite toy of the weekend. & for the most part they all took turns pushing, pulling & riding.A few of us got distracted playing a little catch while setting up tents. (See the crowd across the street at the city park! The town was full of people everywhere)
Not the best picture, but this is just a glimpse of the famous pageant turkey dinners that are served at the churches each night. Around 950 dinners served the weekend before! & that is just one night!
All the kids (yes I meant Jeremy too) playing on the lawns outside the church.
Brielle & Camryn all smiles in their pj's ready to watch the pageant. They both stayed awake for the entire thing! Much to our surprise!
Justin & Kim enjoying some funnel cake, yum!
Some of the crowd eating breakfast.

Water Day

There have been many water days since the summer weather has finally reached us & we are loving it! With 90+ degree temps I am starting to think every day should be a water day.
Turcsanski's invited us over for a water day and we had lots of fun! Brielle isn't much for sprinklers yet, but she will jump into a small pool anyday! For this reason I am starting to think that she is ready for swim lessons. So now I am on the hunt for a good place for her to take them.
