Ward Mission Activity

Recent NP2nd ward activity and some fun friends! We really love our ward and have a blast worshiping, serving, playing, and just enjoying life together!

Jump On It!

For Conner's 15th Bday, we decided to take him to do something he loves! He had a blast!

Music Studio Recital

For those who have not heard, I have decided to stop teaching private lessons for awhile. I need time to be a mommy. Teaching these students has been very rewarding and it was definitely a difficult decision to make. I decided as part of my decision, I also needed to hold a recital. The students did a wonderful job! Here are some great pictures of the event (held at the Piano Gallery in Orem).

I scream, you scream, we all scream for...

...FREE ice cream! That's right, I said free! We have been into "couponing" lately, and one of the AMAZING tips we got from Amy The Savvy Shopper (...if you don't know her yet, you'll love her - she helps the wallet) was to call the manufacturer with compliments, questions, concerns, etc. Well, we recently tried Dreyer's Smore's ice cream (if you haven't, it's a must), but found that there was only one HUGE chunk of graham cracker in the middle, instead of "swirled" throughout, like the packaging indicates. SO!! following Amy's advice, we called, and they sent us a certificate for a FREE ice cream! Unfortunately, we couldn't locate the same flavor (which we are going to call again about because WE LOVE IT) but still enjoyed our ice cream FREE nonetheless. IN FACT, at Smith's Marketplace we get an extra 5% off, so we actually ended up getting a nickel back! Now let me ask you, if someone was going to force to you to take free ice cream, don't you think you'd make them pay you a nickel to do it?! We're screaming!

Cadence's Laugh

This video just makes me smile! I love hearing our baby laugh! Tickles and kisses are the best! What a reward for being his mom!

FHE with Grandma & Grandpa Smith

For Great-Grandma Smith's present to Cadence she decided she wanted to get him a high chair. Instead of just telling her what we wanted, Austin thought it would be more fun to have an FHE with them. So we all went out to dinner (I love Goodwood BBQ), went to buy the high chair, then came back to play some dominos. Grandma and Amy were on a team, and Grandpa and Austin. I'm sure you don't have to guess who won (the girls..duh!). We had fun getting to know each other better (and Austin & I enjoyed a fun look into retired life). Cadence loves his high chair! THANKS GRANDMA & GRANDPA!!!
