Witches & Archibald's

For Greg's birthday we went to lunch at a restaurant called Archibald's in Gardner Village ( if you know where that is). Anyways, we signed up for the birthday club there & for your birthday you get a little coupon. This is what it says, " Happy Birthday! Birthdays were a big deal around here when Archibald built our mill in the 1800's. With his 11 wives & 48 children , there was always a celebration....." It was absolutely delicious! Utah, going back to its roots. After lunch we went & enjoyed the village & its decorations for the Halloween season. So fun!

Pork & Beans Anyone ?

For Greg's birthday we went to the Weezer concert featuring their newest album Pork & Beans:The Red Album! Greg has loved Weezer since they began. A true fan. We went & had a wonderful time.... It was a wild Rock show! We also got to see Angels & Airways. They were both pretty great. I am a somewhat converted fan to both.


Oh, look again... There is a new band
member & his name is Greg!

Anderson Island

For the reunion on Greg's Families side this year we went to Anderson Island. It is right off the coast of Tacoma, WA. It was a quaint little island with one little general store & two lakes. Our vacation house was on one of the lakes. We had a great time splashing & playing in it. (although very chilly) Anyways, it was a wonderful vacation!

Columbia Tower

Greg's sister is the pastry chef at the Columbia Tower Club Restaurant located on the 75th floor in the Columbia Tower in Seattle . When we came down for the reunion this past week we were able to go for a special dinner there! It was such an amazing experience. We had the best table in the house, we had a view on both sides of us looking out over the Pudget Sound & watching the ferries go back & forth while on the other side we looked right into the Sea Hawks stadium & SafeCo field. The Mariners happened to be playing that night so we got to kind of watch & guess what was happening. We got special complimentary things sent out from the chef & some extra special & yummy desserts. Too much FUN!!

There is no place like home......there is no place like home.....

Dorothy, is that you????

A campin we will go

We went camping & it was well an adventure. I wish I would have taken a picture of the lake, because it was nasty! I am surprised that we did not catch something from swimming in it. Next time we will go somewhere else more adventurous, but we had a good time.

Happy Birthday USA

The 4th of July was a ton of fun. We began our day bright & early with a yummy breakfast at the ward house & a parade around the neighborhood. It consisted of people who had served our country in their uniforms from the ward & neighborhood & all the kids. They loved it. Aubrey got to ride in a cute wagon with one of her little friends. She just loved it! After that we headed down to Provo for a day full of fun activities with all the events going on down there. We finished off the night with the stadium of fire. We didn't have tickets to go in, but we got great seats right out side & could actually see & hear pretty good. Glen Beck, The Blue Man Group & Miley Sirius entertained us all night long( I especially loved Hannah Montana, oops I mean Miley Sirius) . The firework show was so unique & beautiful! Too much fun.
