This past Wednesday afternoon, we left for Ogden for a couple of days to go visit some friends up there. We got there later that night so we just went straight to the hotel and called it good for the night. But not before Todd and Lily could have a pillow fight... hehe. Then the next morning we got up and went to see our friends. As a group we went and had lunch in downtown Ogden and then headed to Boondocks in Kaysville. It was so fun! There was hardly anyone there on a Thursday afternoon so no waiting in lines, just non-stop fun. That night we went to a little Greek restaurant named Andys that had DELICIOUS Greek food. I had never really had Greek food before, but this stuff was awesome!
The next morning we got ready to go and made our way south. First we stopped by temple square and toured the conference center with Lily. It was kind of fun to see it through her eyes for a little bit. Then we headed to the visitor centers and had Lily touch the temple. By then it was almost 1 so we met up with our friends again and went to another delicious restaurant named Settebello. If you are ever in SLC I STRONGLY suggest you hit this place up. It is basically just authentic Italian pizzas and there is a gellato place right next to it, can't get much better than that!
Next we got to visit some friends of our who recently had a baby in American Fork. He was adorable and it was so fun to just sit and visit for a little bit admiring how much they had grown. They are heading out to Penn State at the end of the month, and we will definitely miss them! Have fun Jimmy and Mikensi!
Finally it was around 4 and the Friday of Labor Day weekend in Utah County... it was time to get moving! Once we made it through the traffic we decided to hit up the Santiquin Barn. We got a few cookies some original soda and we were on our way again. All in all it took us about 9 hours to get home from Ogden on Friday but it was nice to not be in a rush.
Saturday we added 8 more trees to our landscaping. We're so excited to see something other than weeds in our yard. Monday was Labor Day and our County Fair Parade. Since Lily is in a dance troop now she was in the parade. It was so fun to see her in the back of the truck waving, and I have to say, I felt a little strange because she was so grown up. It was kind of a gut check that she is no longer a baby. They even put lipstick on her, and I about broke down and cried right there... but luckily I kept it together! The rest of the day was getting back into routine of cleaning and grocery shopping. It was fun to have such a long weekend and see so many good friends and family. We especially loved having Daddy home and being able to spend some time with him!
I LOVE Reese's smile in this picture!
The other day, I put Reese in jeans and she looked so big! So I tried to take a few pictures of the girls, and it's SO hard to get a picture where they are both smiling, but this was the best I could do. Lily was trying to be silly, which she always is so that's fine. I just love her! Reese gets so smiling and giggles all the time. I love it!
So this was my super Saturday project for our relief society this past weekend. It's super easy and super cute, hence super saturday. The only thing is it takes a little time, a lot of hot glue and possibly some blisters... All you do, is go to DI and buy a 50 cent paperback book. Paint the edge of the book whatever color you want to use to match your decor. I picked brown. Buy a Styrofoam wreath at any craft store. Tear out all the pages of the book, (I know it's almost painful to do so) then just roll up the pages and start on the back and start hot gluing. This only cost $5! I did get a blister because I was too busy visiting rather than focusing on not burning my fingers, but that's fine. It was worth it! I love it! Thank you Lisa for introducing the project, because I am so happy with it!
