Future Cardinelle

Kaylee will probably not be a "Future Cardinelle" but we signed her up with a neigbor of ours who is a Cardinelle at Northridge High school. It consisted of some dance clinics for the girls to perform at fridays football game against West Jordan. This week was very hectic but it was worth it because kaylee got a taste of what dancing is infront of an audience. And she loved it. I think she is a performer. She tells me she wants to be famouse and sing, act and do other different things. Hey, maybe we will hit the Jack Pot with her talents!

Abuela Denis's Birthday

Wednesday the 19th was Denis's birthday. We went over Maria's house to sing Happy birthday to her and to give her a present. She is a great mother. mother in law and grandma. We are so happy to have her close to us and hopefully her husband will be joining us soon. She is a great example to me and my family.

Guinavah Camp ground (Logan Canyon)

This last week we went on our vacation to Logan Canyon and Bear Lake. It was a camping trip that we took with the kids. We chose the Guinavah campground because last year the Young Women from our ward went there and I really liked the place. We chose a site near the river. We arrived and set up our tent and then we had some lunch and hiked. We hiked a nature trail right on the campground, it was beautiful and the kids loved it. Later we had dinner and played with the kids. We build a fire and made some s'mores. The weather was actually changing for us, it suddenly got windy and rainy.

The following day we fixed an egg, bacon, potatoes breakfast and headed out to Bear Lake. Bear Lake was gorgeous, very blue and warm. We had a great time just the 4 of us.

Treehouse Children Museum, Farrs, Cars

Last Saturday was free admission day at the Treehouse children museum and we got to take the kids. The kids have been asking us for quite awhile to go there and what better day to go than when its free. They had new exhibitions and so the kids had alot of fun trying those out. The place was packed so we had to keep an eye on the kids very closely. After we went and had some Farrs Ice cream. We were heading home when we drove by historical 23rd st in Ogden and they had blocked the street and had lines of classic cars and motorcycles, so of course we had to stop and see what the heck was going on. Since Braden loves motorcycles and cars and monster trucks we had to stop and take a look.

Apricot Jam

This last saturday I made some Apricot Jam. A friend of mine had some apricots left over from when she made jam and told me I could have them. So I went to get them from her house and decided,to make some and try it out for the first time. My mom years ago canned alot so she had all the supplies necessary to can. Therefore I didn't need to spend money on any of that. I got all the supplies from her and just bought a casa of jars and lids and off I went into my canning world. I did everything the recipe indicated and it all turned out great. Today I opened one of the jars and ate toast with fresh apricot jam on it. It was delicious. I am so excited to continue canning salsa, tomatoes and anything else that comes my way.
