What's On Our Happy List?

A Peek Into Our Week...

Our Fourth of July celebration!

Home town parade!

The bagpipes and fly-by are my fav's!!!
Oh and the police motorcade too...

And of course seeing the hubs.

He was so happy he could drive the 

School Board truck and not have to walk 

the parade route and be seen. haha

Some of our other favorite
entries were...

Seeing one of Kyleigh's best friends
on the Miss Murray float,

 Our elementary school being represented...

The Utah Jazz bear!
{see my cute great nieces and nephews?}
They are getting so old-
the oldest is going into the 8th grade.

and these floats!

 
We ate at Wingers for lunch.
We almost always do KFC on the 4th,
but the KFC near us is no longer
there. 😱

"We are celebrating being American!"
Kyleigh said when these two babies
came out.  😂

Played some games!
Took a nap!
Tried watching "Stranger Things".
{My B loves it!}
But I don't think I have it in me. 
Too Sci-fi'y for me. haha

Kate and I made a 4th of July cake

with pop rocks in it!

That evening we watched the fireworks with my

sister and brother's families.

Here is my brother and I running on the 

State Street overpass 

with our sparklers. 

😆

Our last adieu to the overpass as they are

 tearing it down.

Kinda sad, but it's time.

It's an eyesore!

*****

Over the holiday weekend we took a jaunt 

to Park City

to ride the Flying Eagle Zipline.

A stop here for some chocolate...

and we ate the Saffron Valley

 restaurant in the Avenues.

Never been here and I LOOOOVED it!

I've had better Indian food,

BUT the ambiance was where it was at. 

fun fact:I have a thing for old world maps

and globes!

Love them!

So the theme this past week for Kate and I was cooking/baking!

Besides our Pop Rock Fourth of July cake
we made several things
throughout the week
using just 3 ingredients...
{She found the recipes on the "Tasty"
YouTube channel.}

We made jalapeno poppers.

 Cookies n Creme mousse

sweet chili salmon

and banana pancakes!

Kate also helped make

 three homemade pizza's

with Poppi and the sisters!
{Using more than three ingredients of course.}

 *****
In other family news....

The day after the Fourth
Kyleigh and friends went
to St. George and Vegas.
She had a blast!

I've added Vegas's Sin City Bakery
and Giodarnos Pizza to my
"Must Try Food" List!

They went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower
and got these cool shots!

Emmsie and Hannah spent the holiday
up at Scofield
with extended family helping with the cousins....

Two of my favorite things right now...

I'm a fan of Physicians Formula cosmetics.

I've worn their BB cream for years

instead of foundation.

Their Butter Bronzer and Butter Highlighter

are the bomb. Smells sooo good too.

Like a beach-y suntan lotion smell.

And this stuff! Sorta makes me giggle.
I love the lavender vanilla one.
It's the best, and I don't even like the
lavender smell.
Better believe I'm taking
a miniature one of these to girl's camp.
😜
