Peach Days

Last weekend was Peach Days in Brigham City. We enjoyed watching the parade and then going to the car show. I have never seen so many classic cars in one place before. Austin's family met us there and it was cool to see an exact replica of the vehicle Austin's dad had purchased for his very first car. After we learned about some of the history behind the vehicles we headed to Maddox for their peach cream pie. You can only get it once a year, and boy is it worth every calorie!

Happy Easter!

During this Easter season, we wish to express our love for our Savior, Jesus Christ. We know that He lives and that He atoned for our sins so we can live with our Father in heaven again. We know He loves us and understands our greatest joys and deepest sorrows. We share with you a video that brings home for us the reason for the Easter season.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Austin and I love St. Patrick’s day because, as Austin put it, we are Green all year long. In the spirit of the holiday, we'd like to share a festive video and an Irish blessing.



May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

We hope you have a Happy St. Patrick's Day, and that's no blarney!

Christmas Fun

On Saturday we spent time with Austin's parents. We went to the Browning Museum first and learned about John Browning who was the genius behind a lot of the firearms used in the world today. We saw rifles, automatics, machine guns, and guns no bigger than my hand. It was incredible to learn about how John Browning invented his guns.

After the Browning Museum, we went to Rainbow Gardens and ate a great dinner, complimented with Mormon Muffins. We went through the shops and enjoyed the Christmas decorations that decked the halls. We found an animated Santa toy there that laughed contagiously when you pushed his hand. He was one of our favorites.

To complete the evening, we went to the Christmas Village in Ogden. The local businesses decorate little houses with Christmas scenes downtown. I think my favorite house was done by the Ogden Police. They had stuffed puppets that incarcerated the Grinch. Austin's favorite was the house decorated like a Weber State dorm room. Go Wildcats!
I think visiting the Christmas Village could become a favorite family tradition.

Easter Holiday

Austin and I enjoyed the Easter holiday with Austin's parents and sister. In commemoration of the Passover holiday we watched a documentary on the Star of David. I love learning about the history of the Jews. Something we also really enjoyed while visiting was bird watching from the kitchen sliding glass window. Austin's parents spread birdseed in the backyard, which invites several quail and a woodpecker. It was pretty awesome. I've never seen a woodpecker before. His family made a wonderful dinner and bought Austin's favorite pies from Marie Calendars: banana cream and strawberry rhubarb. They even had one of my favorites: lemon meringue. We really enjoyed our visit.

Easter Egg Hunt

Last weekend we went down to my parents to watch the LDS General Conference. While we were there, we had an Easter egg hunt with William and Geniel's family. Isabelle was really excited to find all of the eggs. She would save the animal shaped eggs for Michael. Michael was just excited to be outside. He didn't seem too interested at first, but with some guidance from William and Geniel he figured it out pretty quickly. Our favorite part was when Michael finally decided to carry his basket full of eggs. He discovered that if you shake the basket, all the eggs will fall out, opening up and revealing all the candy. He thought that was great fun. It's crazy to us that we were able to have an egg hunt since it snowed on our car the night before. However, the weather was perfect the day of the hunt. We were all outside with our coats off. Utah has some strange weather!
