Summertime!

The McDaniel's house

Content.

Gabe & Finn loved playing in the mud,...I don't really know what's going on here...

Cousins.

Yes, I am a cheeseball.

-Grandma and some of the munchkins-

Well, it's starting to feel more and more like summer here in Utah. Gabe loves playing at Nanna and Poppa's house (Ren's parents) and Grandma and Grandpa's house (My parents). Yesterday, my Dad put up this fun blow up slide for us to play on! All the grandkids have a blast in my parent's backyard,...not to mention the grown-ups as well!

Temple Square!

The Salt Lake Temple

We got the chance to go up to Temple Square last Sunday and listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice! We went with our good friends, Sara & Jayson Weir. Afterwards, we walked around the temple grounds and enjoyed the beautiful weather and flowers!

The Schroeder's!

Here are some pictures of the Schroeder family! It was so much fun taking their pictures! Calli, was such a cutie and has the most beautiful smile!

Belmont Estates!

We went to the Belmont Estates yesterday and had a really fun time! The bus ride up wasn't as fun (Gabe threw up right when we got off), but besides that, it was neat to see how they make chocolate in Grenada! We also got to see some turtles, a monkey, a parrot named Rainbow and an iguana! Gabe loved the parrot! Probably because he could sing Happy Birthday to you. The process of making chocolate takes quite a while. The Grenadians still walk through the cocoa beans to shift them around so they all get the proper sunlight and dry evenly. That's what Gabe & I are doing in the last picture! (The two men in the stalls were rotating the cocoa beans during the fermentation process.)

Sticks n Stones.

Here are some more pictures of Sara. They have a different feel to them, almost ethereal. They are a little of a stretch for me, but I think it is good to try new things! I hope you like them! Sorry, if I am just posting a lot of pictures on here. I should probably have a different blog just for photo's.

My friends!

I have been given approval to post these so I think I will! These are some pictures of my good friends, Shauna, Richard and little Spencer! We went and took these last Friday at the beautiful Aquarium beach.
