Utah Trip 2011- part 2

The number one thing that Lilly wanted to do on our trip to Utah was to see Jesus and the temple. She talked about it every day until I took her there. I love her testimony. Both of my kids have so much faith. We had a hard time pulling Lilly away from Jesus. She stood and looked at Him for a long time and then she just stood there and touched Him.

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of Bridger's favorite stories.

We walked across the street to Deseret Book and then hung out outside by the fountains. My kids couldn't resist playing in the water.

Doman Family Reunion

All of the Doman cousins as of August 2011

We hadn't seen Derek's brother Dan in 4 years so it was time for a reunion! We had a great time. Mom Doman had a lot of activities planned: Lagoon, talent show, family pictures, dinners and trip to Sun Ridge. The cousins had a hard time when it all ended (the 30 minute group hug helped a little) Grandma and Grandpa, although sad, were ready for some peace and quiet again.

Trip to Sun Ridge

Nicole and Sam

Bridger loves to throw rocks almost as much as he loves to chase birds.

Hope it isn't four years until the next reunion!

I came into the kitchen one day to find four avocados that looked like this

Not pretty. I followed the trail and found this

Bridger decided he would plant an avocado tree. Random. Hope it works; avocados can get expensive!

Disadvantages and Perks of living next to a green space

The down side to living next to a green space is the amount of work it can be. Clearing brush, trimming trees, cutting down trees.

The perks far outway the bad. Beauty, privacy, the feeling you are in a forest when you are in your backyard. Roasting marshmallows on a warm spring night... heaven.

(don't mind grumpy...Derek has a scowl in EVERY picture I that night)

T-Ball is over

Bridger was awarded the MVP for the year and also received an award for throwing the fastest in the entire T-ball league. Way to go Bridger! He LOVES those trophies.
