Physical and spiritual goodness!

This weekend was full of physical and spiritual goodness! We just had to share how great our weekend was!

The weather had been so good this past week that Spencer and I really wanted to get out and do something! We decided that we wanted to rent a tandem bike and bike up to bridal veil falls. We had it all planned out, we talked to BYU about renting a bike and they informed us that they had plenty. So we got everything packed to go...but as our luck has it, when we went to pick up the bike they hadn't tuned any of them yet so we couldn't get one! So annoying! But we decided to hike up to the Y instead. It was a bit of a work out and my thighs are still suffering the consequences but the view is absolutely beautiful and worth it!


Then we had the great opportunity of having Elder L Tom Perry come to our Stake Conference. We went to the adult session Saturday Night and it was full of the spirit, very inspiring and we definitely left the session as better people. It is truly amazing how "normal" these great brethren are when you see them outside of conference. The stories he shared with us and the personality that comes out in speaking makes you realize how "normal" they are and that the only difference is the position they hold in being an Apostle of God. (I realize that is a big difference, but simply stated they are just like all of us.)

After the conference we decided to feed our physical hunger by going to Cold Stone. I, of course got good old chocolate and Spencer got vanilla. It was quite hysterical when we got our ice cream though because we both ordered the exact same size but for some reason mine was twice as big as Spencer's! I actually didn't even notice until we got in the car and Spencer's ice cream was half gone! It was really quite funny so we had to take a picture!

Then on Sunday we we're again spiritually fed at stake conference. Then we had the amazing opportunity of going to the Draper Temple Dedication. It is such a blessing to have temples so close and to be able to participate in such a spiritual event. We loved it and it was a great way to finish off an amazing weekend!

Happy St Patrick's Day!



Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to spend our evening at the Jazz game! My brother-in-law Todd had some extra tickets and we we're able to go! It was a lot of fun. We invited our good friends Tyler and Cheryl to come along which always makes fora great time.

The game was against the Washington Wizards and the Jazz won with a score of 103 to 88! It obviously wasn't an intense game but nevertheless, it is always fun just being there! Go JAZZ!!

Good Times with the Taylors

We had a great weekend with the Taylors, Spencer's brother David and his family were in town for the week and we were able to spent time with everyone! As you can tell Spencer is enjoying himself! :)David brought one of his favorite games for the family to play. It's called "BANG" and the point is to shoot out the other players and be the last one standing. There is a card that gives everyone back there life and when it was played David and Erin pulled out "Rootbeer" for us all! It was a lot of fun!
These next few pictures are of us all just hanging out! Camille and I enjoying our time with the little guy!
The Taylor boys!
