Labor Day weekend with San Clemente friends

Our good friend's Tracie & Sal Syed (from San Clemente) came with their two little rugrats to visit over Labor Day weekend. We loved getting to meet their newest addition--Serianna (who, by the way, has the most amazing head of hair--unlike anything I've seen before!). Our friends Sara & James Mortensen also live in the area, so it was fun to get together with the old gang. Tracie wasn't feeling too great, so unfortunately they weren't able to do everything they hoped, but we still managed to pack in some fun.

WE...

...rocked it out with Guitar Hero...

BTW, Tracie looks awesome in this picture--awesome like a butt-rocker! Luke & Samson rockin' out. They were in Heaven!!!...went to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point (just in case you were wondering what Sara and Tracie are doing, they are imitating dinosaurs, of course!) I love this picture of Bella screaming (for joy!) Dan & Sienna watching the fish...The most adorable pink camo squeeky shoes that I bought for Sienna (Sara sells them and gave them to me for cost, so I stocked up! Sooooo nice!)

...ate good food...(Cafe Rio, JCW's, pizza, homemade peach cobbler...)

...went to the Street Fair/Farmer's Market in Park City...I love this pic of Sal & Suri. This guy is in so much trouble--this baby girl is BEAUTIFUL!!!Dan's training Sienna young!

American Fork Canyon

For family home evening a few weeks ago Dan, Sienna and I went for a drive up American Fork Canyon. Although it was a bit chilly, it was still a beautiful, clear day. It was the week after it snowed, so unfortunately many of the trees were pretty bare from the snowfall, but it was still beautiful. It was getting dark, so the lighting wasn't great for pictures. The pictures definitely don't do justice. Dan was a good sport and let me take a few "armpit" shots (those are the only ones I seem to like these days!) After taking a couple of pictures I checked on Sienna and she was just sound asleep with her beanie half way down her face. It was so funny. The last picture is one that Dan took from our balcony when we got home from the drive. We thought the snowcapped mountains looked really cool with the moon. Although I really miss California and the beach, I do love having the mountains so close. Dan and I agreed that as much as we love the smell of the ocean, there is nothing better than the smell of the mountains!
