temple night

Randy and I went to the temple tonight! It was my first time going back since we've been married.  The Provo Temple looked beautiful and the weather was just perfect when we came outside. Oh the blessings of having a temple so close by. I love it!





Then we came home and had Mildenhall waffles. Definition of Mildenhall waffles is a waffle with ice cream, strawberries, and whip cream. Yes, we have the most healthy dinners ever. And we sure do enjoy them!

memorial weekend

For the long weekend the Mildenhall family headed up to Brigham City to spend time with Scott and Joann and to be there for Matt's homecoming talk. On the road trip up there we stopped at our favorite burrito place, Chipotle.It was super delicious.

Matt just returned from the Oregon Eugene mission. They had a little luncheon after church.. and let me just say all the food there was marvelous. It was fun to visit with cousins and also with Grandma and Grandpa Mildenhall.


While in Brigham City we stayed at the HoJo (also known as the Howard Johnson hotel). We drove around the neat little town and even got a glimpse of the new temple!






It is so pretty and has the look of the Salt Lake temple, but mini. I love it and am excited for the open hose and dedication at the end of the summer.





On memorial day we had a BBQ at Charlene and Aren's parent's house. I had fun hanging out with the little girls.

 

the boys had fun shooting bb guns at plastic cup and marshmallow targets



And Randy and I have been able to watch Captain America and Thor in preparation to see the Avengers. (mostly because I haven't seen the movies and I wanted to before the Avengers because it would make a little more sense)

All in all a wonderful weekend. Success.

family bonfire

A few weekends ago Randy brought home some scrap wood from work at Sunroc. He knew I've been wanting to go up the canyon and have a bonfire so he called all the siblings and we coordinated bringing hot dogs, marshmallows, and stuff for smores and went to South Fork park. Its a nice area with fire pits. And we had a good time up there visiting and eating- probably our two favorite things. :)
