2022 Blue Jeans Week 29

We have had a good week, a super hot temperatures week, but a good week none the less.  Take a look at our week...

Had some sweet friends over for dinner on Sunday.  She was Mrs A's friend in high school and roommate in college.  She is very happily married and came to visit.  It was fun to have them over!

Getting my yearly mammogram done.  

Mr J hanging out at the library because it is way too hot to be outside as he waits for some appointments.

Miss E finishes up her adventures in England with a visit to Stonehenge.  So cool!

This guy has been working so hard as a lifeguard this summer.  He finally had a day off, so we headed to the city to get some shopping done.

Miss E has started her adventures in France!  So excited for her!

Had my monthly lunch with my dear friend this week.  Sure love her!

My July cake....it is a cookies and cream cake, and it was yummy!

Date night was a game night in as it was way too hot to go out.  We played some of our two person games that we don't always get to play.

Saturday we had a group walk to celebrate pioneer day which honors our ancestors.  Mr J was in charge and had printed little experiences from different pioneers along the trail.  It was a fun morning activity before it got too hot!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are happy and healthy and well!  Have a great week!!

2022 Blue Jeans Week 28

Catching up.  Trying to stay cool and soak up our summer.  Take a look at our last week...

Our Sunday game was Azul which is a fun game with lots of colorful tile pieces

Miss E enjoying London!

On my morning walk there was a huge difference in the sky, we had dark storm clouds moving off and sunny blue sky moving in.  So pretty to see the stark contrast.

Some of our white hibiscus blooming.  So pretty!

Got to attend the temple with these awesome people!  I love to see the temple!

I think National Ice Cream day was sometime this week?? We made homemade vanilla ice cream and had it with blueberry pie.  So yummy!  You have to make homemade ice cream at least once in the summer I think :)

Miss E enjoying Bath in England.  So cool!

Thanks for catching up with us!  Hope you stay healthy and happy and safe!  Have a great week!

2022 Blue Jeans Week 27

I am a little behind.  Summer does that to me sometimes.  You think you have all this extra time, but you really don't, or it seems to disappear very quickly!  This was our week of the 4th of July.  It was a super hot 4th, so we enjoyed it inside.  Miss E headed to Europe again for another study aboard and then end of the week Ben and Mr J headed on a short campout for boys in our church.  It was also super hot for them.  Take a look at our week...

Our 4th of July dessert.  It was a fruit pizza and so yummy!

4th of July was way too hot to be outside during the day, so we played corn hole inside :)

We made our traditional red, white and blue drinks for 4th of July dinner.  So fun and taste really good too!

Our hibiscus on the front yard are a vibrant hot pink!  So pretty!

Ben and Mr J and the other boys and dads from our church heading out on a short campout. It was so hot!!!

And this amazing girl made it safely to London!  No cancelled flights, no bad weather, and that was a huge blessing!  She gets to explore England for a few weeks and then heads to France for a few weeks.  So fun!!!

And look who Miss E ran into in London!  Our favorite bear!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are safe and happy and healthy where you are!  Have a good week!

2022 Blue Jeans Week 26

Fun summer week last week.  It was Miss E's last week home before her next study abroad adventure.  We got our June cake made and had some fun.  Take a look at our week...

Sunday game was King Domino.  It is a fun one that everyone likes despite half of us being on our phones during the photo :)

I have loved having this girl home for a few weeks and to walk with her in the mornings!  I will miss her this next month!

A new restaurant in a small town near us opened, so my parents took me and Miss E for lunch, and it was yummy!

My June cake was a peach crisp cake that Miss E helped me make. 

Inside of the cake.  Peach vanilla cake layers, peach compote, oatmeal crisp and a vanilla bean frosting. Yummy!!!

Miss E saying good-bye to Mr J as she gets ready to leave on her 2nd study abroad trip to Europe this summer!  We will miss her but excited for her continued adventures!!!  Mr J has enjoyed not being the only child home for a few weeks!

Saturday morning I decided we needed crepes, so I made them  One of my favorite things is to fill them with fresh berries and yogurt and top with powdered sugar.  Yummy!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are healthy and happy and safe where you are!  Have a great week!
