We couldn't go to Utah without seeing the fellas even for a little bit! Everyone was kind enough to fit us into there schedule. We all met for lunch at Cafe Rio. Not everyone was able to make it, but we appreciate those who did. Dave and Karlie came by the house later that night and some people we're out of town. It was good to see everyone and catch up. It's hard being away from all of our friends. Dan Yeates and Doug are both engaged to great women! Congrats to both!

Wes and the MTC

We flew home to Utah for Wes' farewell. He did awesome! The following Wed we took him to the MTC. Pics are of the fam and Marn and I with Wes, what a good lookin missionary.....Wes looks pretty good too! The picture of the bench is where I first saw Marnie in the MTC when we were both missionaries. Don't get any ideas...we we're both focused on the Lord's work. We thought it would be fun to take a picture where we first ran into each other in the MTC.

My Day

So I turned 26 yesterday!!!! I woke up to Brett making breakfast, we had a relaxing morning and got out for a fabulous lunch. I had been looking for a fun place to go and I found  a Japanese restaurant here called Shabu House that I had been to in Japan and was so excited to go. It is called Shabu Shabu and what it is, is were you have a pot of broth in front of you and they give you a plater of veggies and a plater of meat, now the meat is sliced really thin and you cook it all on your own. the give you two different kinds of dipping sauce, peanut and teriyaki. It was fun and delicious!!! Then we went Birthday shopping and I got some new clothes and Brett was so patient while I took my time browsing the stores.  It was such a great day!! 

U of H

Brett had a busy weekend, he was on committee at school that was in charge of putting on a psychology conference. He then also presented in it twice. The first was in a group of three and he presented his candidacy project and then he presented a poster by himself. He did a great job and I have to say I am so proud of him! He is doing so well in school.  

Dutch Oven Cooking

Brett got a dutch oven for his birthday, and last sunday we put it to the test. He has been getting it ready for a while by lining it with crisco and heating in the oven (that's called "seasoning" ). We are excited to try new meals in the dutch oven, and take it out camping. 

The Shrine Circus

The Circus

We went to the Shrine Circus last weekend and took the Cobabes. We had a blast!  I loved it because it was a old school feel. I especially loved the cotton candy and nachos!!!!!!
