My Birthday + State Fair

My favorite activity to do around my birthday is to go to the State Fair.  The biggest event I have wanted to participate in was the "All You Can Eat Ice Cream" night.  We had tried to go one year and it rained.  This year we finally made it and it was definitely worth it.  It's like going through a ice cream buffet where you walk along and decide what kinds of ice cream you want in your basket.  There was a Aggie blue ice cream that was delicious and a snickerdoodle ice cream I went to get seconds on.  They also handed out Fat Boys and Creamies, so we got some to eat while we walked around!  We also went down the Giant Yellow Slide--a state fair tradition in our family!  And the girls went through the Little Hands on the Farm (not sure how much longer Emma will enjoy this activity but you do get a treat at the end!)  We saw lots of animals and it made my kids want a farm of their own!  I love the Fall!

Brigham City Temple Open House

I hope my girls remember all of these temple they have been able to go through.  As a youth, I went through the Mount Timpanogos and Bountiful temple and was so amazed by them, that I knew I wanted to be married in one of these two temples.  After the Brigham City Temple, my girls have gone through 3 temples!  I hope they realize how blessed we are to live so close to all of these temples and I also hope it impacts them in a way that they will make it a goal to be married in the temple.  The Brigham City Temple was just gorgeous! We went with my mom and brother and after we went to Maddox to eat dinner.  (You can't go to Brigham City without eating at Maddox! Yum!) It was a fun night!
