Roommate Reunion

We recently had a fun get together with old roommates and friends. Jake and Tricia were visiting from California so it was the perfect reason to do something. Tricia and I were roommates the summer before we both got married, and Neal and Jake were roommates at the same time- along with Dave and Bryton. Dave graciously offered to let us use his place in South Jordan to bar-b-que, chat, and catch up on life for everyone. We met Jake and Tricia's handsome little boy, Sterling, for the first time. And they met Lydia for the first time as well. We're sad that they don't live closer so we can do this more often!

Dave and Bryton were feeling a little left out while we were all taking pictures with our babies. They decided to take a picture as well with their own "babies."  :)

Camping

Last month we went camping with Neal's family in Eden,UT (near Pineview).  It was Lydia's first camping trip and, besides the sleeping part, went very well. :) We didn't arrive until after dinner just in time for dessert! What is a camping trip without roasting marshmallows and making smores?! Neal's dad also picked up some small containers of ice cream for Stephanie's birthday. We gave him a hard time about it because instead of the chocolate ice cream he thought he bought, one was coffee flavored and he is a bishop. It was so nice relaxing, eating, and visiting around the campfire. Lydia refused to go to sleep in the pack-n-play so she stayed up late with the rest of us. In the morning, after catching a few hours of sleep, we enjoyed exploring the area, eating a wonderful breakfast, and playing games before packing up and driving back home. We can't wait for our next camping trip!

Breakfast time! Neal and his dad made a yummy breakfast of pancakes and sausage.

Lydia was excited to be outside and liked watching the fire.
