Friends Always

Our friends the Garzas came to Utah for a visit and we loved every minute! We met at J Dawgs, a Provo original. Hung out till late at Melissa's house and enjoyed watching our kiddos play together.

This playroom is in the home and should be in a magazine. You don't even see the several shelves of toys and closet of books. Bad picture, but this was amazing!

On the random days that we have good weather, we have good times with neighbor kids outside. This is Brogan and Briggs (brothers that are very close in age) that Troy loves. This little cart is so cute. Briggs and Troy are enjoying some goldfish as they get pulled along.

Liam is walking everywhere and hardly falls anymore. He got used to his shoes pretty quick and uses them all the time to push this little toy around. It actually takes restraint to not pick him up and kiss him every 5 minutes. He's so adorable! Ben and I just can't believe how cute our boys are to us.

Troy gave a smile to the camera, on purpose. It's a moment to document.

My Grandpa F. turned 91 this week and we made a card for him and made a visit. I should have taken a picture at our visit! Troy loves his house, there are a lot of balls and a basketball hoop. My Aunt Nancy happened to be there, which made the visit even more fun. She is awesome. My Grandpa is amazingly healthy at his age and a joy to be around. We love him.

We had a fun weekend. We hung out with Rich and Rach on Friday and stayed the night. We made a huge crepe breakfast in the morning and we just kept eating for like an hour. Troy plays best with Noah. They play for a couple hours while we get to just talk. I LOVE it. They are so fun.

On Saturday we went on a date to City Creek and had dinner at Flemmings. It's a super nice restaurant that we happened to know the manager (Ben's friend Chris, his best man at our wedding.) He treated us to some ridiculously expensive and yummy filet mignon. We had the most amazing sauces with our bread to begin with, then a delicious salad, on to the filet mignon that Ben had to moan in pleasure while he ate... haha. The dessert was this amazing chocolate cake filled with gooey chocolate inside with the best ice cream ever, on top of a thin cookie-like dessert. Auh, I want it right now. Anyway, we had so much fun. Thanks Chris!!

p.s. Missed you Kitchens! And Mariannos, it's been too long!
