So we have been making soups and green smoothies! It has been fun to see what combination of fruits and green veggies we can get in our smoothies! Broccoli soup in the vita-mix! We hos...

Sunday, January 29, 2012. So much to do, so little time. I haven't blogged for awhile, so I will try to catch up as fast as I can! This fall went by in a blur! Mike and I rode our bikes on the greenbelt for the last time at the end of October. We love the greenbelt! We discovered "graffati alley" where all sorts of pictures have been painted. Just a few pictures from the weekend. Megan had a quilt to tie, so she enlisted everyone's help! We had no idea that Chris was so good at painting fingernails!

Saturday, August 30, 2014. Fun in Salt Lake. Megan went to EFY at the Univ of Utah this summer. She got to spend 6 days living in the dorms and eating cafeteria food! Plus, having a lot of fun. While she was there, I went to spend some time with Rachel, Liz, and Logan. Here is Liz making pancakes for breakfast! We went one night and got snow cones for the kids! Logan got the biggest one ever! We had to get the sales lady to put it in a cup for him. It is really teeny tiny! The 98 degrees in Salt Lake!
