Weekend of Fun!

































This week I have managed to lose 2 of the 7 pounds I gained while in Germany. That's what I hate about vacations is the weight gain. That didn't stop me from making yummy food this week. I made peach pie for the first time ever, from the peaches on our tree. It was yummy. I also made homemade pizza with tons of vegetables from our garden, it was tasty. We've had good dinners this week but I am back into my routine of exercise and calorie counting and it always works!

Gabe started preschool this week and loves it. He has a great teacher and we are excited about what she has in store for him. Friday I went to Swiss Days for a book signing. I signed with other local authors and it a lot of fun. It is so pretty up there, I will for sure go again next year with the girls or just my family. I can see why people go as tradition.

Saturday we wen to the balloon festival at Antelope Island. The funny thing about it was there were not hot air balloons as advertised. So after some kiddie rides and treats we drove to the other end of the island and for the first time visited the ranch. It was so cool. Gabe made a homemade candle, roped some calves, saw the historic buildings and equipment and played. It was fun. We saw tons of buffalo this time, I had never seen any there until now. It was fun.

Grandma Bev is now visiting us for the holiday and we are going to go to breakfast in the morning and on some more adventures. She just got back from Spain and has a lot of stories to share with us about her travels. She came to church with us today and watched Paisley so I could finally enjoy Relief Society. It was nice!

Your food always looks so yummy. Way to go with the weight loss. I am so glad to hear Gabe loved his school and his teacher.
