Sight Seeing in Downtown St George

I have fallen in love the St George! It is such a great community, we had a good time wandering downtown, we toured the Brigham Young Winter Home I loved all the antiques who know they were making waffels in the early to mid 1800s, I saw an early style barbie doll, some great furniture, the chair Brigham made him self and the bed was his as well so cool I loved it (Our guide did get a little hahah long winded but he had some wonderful stories, then we took the boys to the splash pad and the little water stream in the square and the kids got to put their feet in and cool off, we were having a great time and then, Matt decided to take a dive in (on accident as he was trying to go around someone) and tore his face up poor kid was so upset and pretty scraped and bruised up and had a chunk missing out of his eye lid I felt so bad for him. I decided to figure out how bad it was and asked if he was good enough to ride the Merry Go Round and yep he was, he still needed lot's of lovin' but was ready to move on and was a pretty good trooper the rest of the trip.




















St George Tabernacle

This was the tabernacle built in St. George. I saw the stair case through the window at night and we went back the next day I absolutely loved them. The most amazing thing about the stairs is that there is no central support post they are completely free standing. The building had such great features it was very fun to take a tour and learn more about it and also to be reminded about the importance of tithing and faith.








St George Temple

I took some time to take some pics at the Temple. It was so beautiful, and they had some amazing flowers on the grounds. I really would love to have this be my full time job, it would be great.

Yuuuummmmyyyyy...

So I decided to do some baking and couldn't remember how many the batch would make, so yep I doubled it and wow did we have cinnamon rolls coming out our ears. They were so yummy and guilt free since the were fat free! I am getting so much better at figuring out how to create healthier treats for us to enjoy.




Happy 7th Birthday Jake

I can hardly believe that I have been a mommy for 7 years now! Jake is such a sweet kid. We are so blessed to have him as part of our family. I love his imagination, and that even when he isn't excited about doing something he will still do it when I ask. I love how he plays with his brother and it is so fun to hear him read and to see him write. He is always good for a hug for his momma and loves to come in and wake me up 1st thing in the morning tell me he loves me and ask if we can snuggle. Thanks for coming to our family Jake, we love you.
