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!
