Carnival

June 4, 2011  -

The last night that my Mom, Grandma and Brother were here we all went to the Eagle Mountain Carnival, that really is almost in our backyard. I think that this is one of my favorite things about living in Utah, I love that each city has its own celebration in the summer with parades and carnivals and all kinds of activities. It makes the summer way more fun!

Messiah in America

June 3, 2011 - 

 The reason my Mom and Brother were in town was really because they were both performing in a concert on Temple Square with the Mormon Choral Organization. The concert was called Messiah in America. Messiah in America is a new oratorio depicting the story of Christ's visit to the people on the American continent following His death and resurrection. The libretto is compiled solely from scripture in the Book of Mormon, with music composed by Brett Stewart. The performance features the combined choirs and symphony orchestras from the East Valley Mormon Choral Organization in Arizona, and the Orange County Mormon Choral Organization in California; a performing force of over 600 musicians. 

 It is hard to describe this concert... I wish that all of you could have been able to attend. The concert has such an amazing spirit, it really is hard to describe. I love the fact that I have been able to see this concert performed twice now... each time it gets better. Thank you Mom and Trey for being such amazing vocalists and letting us be apart of such a wonderful night!

Memorial Day

May 30, 2011 -

My Mom and Trey were down for the Concert and they happened to be here over Memorial Day. My Mom and I had always wanted to go up to the big Salt Lake City Cemetery and find all the Prophets headstones, neither of us had ever been before. The Cemetery was so huge I couldn't even believe it. it must have gone on for miles. But it was fun to walk around and remember and honor those who have passed before us. We got to see President Hinckley's grave as well as many other Prophets and we even saw a few of Cory's relatives who had been buried up there.

 President McKay's headstone was HUGE.... The Hinckley headstone is in the far back right behind it.

 It towered above it

 Mark, Meygen, and Chersty

I can't remember whose headstone this is? 

This was Cory's great great Grandfather's headstone. It is actually a piece of petrified wood. Very cool!

Happy Memorial Day

The Park and Ice Cream

I love the neighborhood that we live in it is such a great family area. We have about a dozen parks so close to us its amazing. This park happens to be right across the street from our Condo. 

Cory and I love spending time at the Park and letting Rowynne just do her thing.

After the Park we had to hit the local Arctic Circle for our free kiddie cone. 

Needless to say she was in heaven. I dare you to try and take it from her! 

The Hogle Zoo

May 14, 2011 - 

When Cory got his new job we were ecstatic to find out that he wouldn't have to work on the weekends anymore. So to celebrate we went to the Hogle Zoo on saturday as a family. Rowynne loved the animals I think she liked the bird show the best.... even though it was interrupted by weather we still got to see a few birds fly around.  It totally rained for a good portion of the time we were there but I guess that is the good thing about having a Zoo in Utah there are a lot of inside enclosures. So we stuck it out.. Rain and All! 

Rowynne looking at the animals.... I can't remember what they were

 Rowynne Mommy and Daddy at the Bird Show

 Watching the Birds fly over the audiences head. Rowynne was totally into it. It was a funny show to watch the birds were really struggling to perform... the guy said it was because of the wind and rain. I think only a couple of birds made it to the right spot before they stopped the show. But we still enjoyed it

 Looking at the Monkeys.... I LOVE HER FACE!

We rode the Merry Go Round and the Train. 

Daddy isn't to fond of the Merry go round so Mommy and Rowynne got to do it twice! 

 First ride was a Giraffe... 

 Next we rode the Polar Bear!

 The Giraffe were cool because you can get very close to them inside. Rowynne loved it. 

Then she started pulling Daddy's ears. I guess that is what he gets when he puts her on his shoulders! 

 Rowynne has an Ear! 

 On our trip to the Zoo we figured out that Rowynne likes to try and escape the stroller if she isn't buckled in. This was Cory's solution, she definitely wasn't getting out of that! 

 (it would have been too easy just to use the buckle)! 

Thanks Utah's Hogle Zoo for a great Saturday with the Family! 

Earrings!

May 12, 2011 - 

Rowynne got Earrings! For Rowynne's birthday I talked Cory into letting me pierce Rowynne's ears, it took a lot of convincing but he finally agreed! She did so well. I have to admit when we walked into the store I was a little nervous about my plan.... but Rowynne was such a trooper. She got two suckers and hardly cried at all. I think she cried the most when I had to hold her still but after it was all over and done with... No Tears! It was crazy, even the Lady who worked there said she had never had a baby handle it so well. 

Needless to say I love them! Even though they make my little baby seem grown up, they are so cute! 

 This was Rowynne in the chair deciding where to put the dots! She had no idea what was coming! 

The final product! I love how they sparkle! 

(She is happier than she looks!)
