This year for KFC (Kinghorn Family Conference) we went to Maryland and had a blast!

We saw amazing things...

We hung out with cool people...

We made and ate tasty things...

We shared amazing talents...

my husband's talent of making friends with barbwire...

our amazing talent of being in two places at once!

words just don't describe...

We saw interesting creatures...

We shared special moments...

and ate more food...

We even made friends with the ocean!

Then we came to Utah and made memories with my family as well...

Our vacation was perfect, we had a great time and are more willing to be grown-ups since we have had some time to play with our families. Hooray for the summer!

This week we had some new and exciting adventures. We ended the week with a trip to the Idaho Falls temple. Scott's parents were sealed in this temple and it is my mom's favorite temple. It was really neat getting to go. I also saw Aunt Joanne on my way out!

This week was the Madison County Fair. This shot is the fair from our mailbox. We had really good parking ;)

Here is another shot of the fair, from inside. It wasn't real big but it was fun and cute.

We didn't ride any rides but we went to see the animals. Scott enjoyed the cows and I just tried to hold my breath (I am a little afraid of cows...some childhood memories that still haunt me)

Scott also liked the goats and wants one like this when he grows up.

The library had a lot of books for sale so we got some for our personal library.

We ended up spending a total of $3.50 for all these books! I was pretty excited! :)

This week I also organized some beads and buttons that I got a few weeks ago for scrapbooking. I am all sorts of excited to get to work and use my new purchases :)

So here is an arm update. This shot was taken at the beggining of this week when I saw that there was even bruising on the back of my arm, aren't there so many pretty colors?

This is a picture taken a week after my plasma donating experience...I don't think I will be doing that again...

We are doing great, having a fun and relaxing summer. We are getting really excited for the upcoming Kinghorn Family Conference in Maryland. 13 days and counting! Woohoo!!! :)

We had a very eventful week! Scott worked a double shift every weekday. On Monday and Tuesday I drove him to work and then took the car to visit my friend Amanda. It was so fun having some good quality girl time with her :) One of the days on our way home after Scott got off work there was this beautiful sunset! The picture doesn't even do it justice. Scott took picture after picture trying to get the colors just right. It still is way off but it is pretty good for our little camera :)

I finally gave into the pressure and went to try to donate plasma. It didn't go so well though...they had a hard time finding my veins, what with my flabby arms. Then it just wasn't coming out fast enough and I started feeling really sick and clammy. I got betta...

We picked some gooseberries this weekend and made gooseberry freezer jam. We had some leftover from a batch I had picked a week or so before so we made shakes with the leftovers. It's so fun taking advantage of all the free fruit in our yard :) We also got to finally meet our next door neighbor, it was nice to get to know her and chat with her over the fence as we picked berries and she weeded her flower bed.

Yesterday I made us curtains for our bedroom. The ones we had before weren't very good at keeping the light out at night when we go to bed and the sun is still up. I am so happy with how the turned out!

Scott got a tooth pulled this week, he was in some pain at the start of the week but he "got betta" :)

So the rest of our week went well. We all worked and our schedules are pretty funny. Scott leaves for work at 5:00ish and comes home before 10am then I leave at 10:30ish for work and get home around 3:30pm then Dan leaves for work anywhere from 5-7pm and we don't see him again until morning.

My Grandma came to Rigby this week to visit her sister. I got to see her on Tuesday during work and then we went to Rigby on Saturday for her family reunion. Isn't she adorable?

Her cousins introduced us to a very fun game, bocce ball.

I was planning on explaining it but I am not so good at that. The most important part of the introduction to this game is that Scott rocks at it! We both did real well and are looking forward to playing it with our families.

Scott was really good at aiming and giving the ball just the right amount of force.

Our team did really well both times we played and we really enjoyed playing with my mom's cousin Natalie, she is a riot.

The last game we won by two, I was one of the first to throw and my ball is the blue one I am pointing at below. Yeah, we totally whooped them :)

After playing bocce we went over to chat with relatives. Scott found some cool sticks in the grass and made me a ring.

He was sad that he was not able to have made me this ring for our engagement...

We also got fed a lot of food, this was all the desert everyone brought.

And all the salads, they made kind of like a Thanksgiving dinner for us all.

It was a fun week and we were so thrilled to have gotten to finally spend a week free from school :) Speaking of which! I got 4 A's and 2 B+'s this semester! I was so happy with myself. Scott also did well with A's and B's (but he's naturally smart ;) ).
