Kirtland Temple

I completely forgot to post about going to the Kirtland Temple! While I was at my aunts, I wanted to take a trip to Kirtland to see the temple. I've been to Kirtland plenty of times but never knew about the church. I actually think, I use to wonder what the building was. I could be wrong and it may be a different building... Anyways, it was a good experience and I learned a lot about the building. 

Of course, the blogs about randomness, I write a book and the blogs about important things, I write a few sentences. 

Ohio for the 4th

My cousin, Stephanie, had twins last month and I took a trip to see them! They are adorable! I was also able to see my cousin Jennifer's baby Troy. He's 6 months and also adorable!

Trip to VA and DC

I decided to take a trip to visit Kellie and go to the DC temple. It was a great trip and the DC temple is beautiful!

Summer is Here!

It finally stopped raining and we were able to get some time in the sun! Ali, Gabby, Gab, Ethan and I all went to the Carter's to go swimming! Ethan had never been in a big pool before and after he got use to it, he LOVED it!  This was also perfect because camp started the following Monday and he wasn't scared to get in their pool. I think Ethan's new favorite game is Marco Polo! 

I bought a couple slip n' slides because I know I loved them when I was a kid! Unfortunately, one broke before we were

even able to use it! All in all, they had a lot of fun and I enjoyed laying in the sun!

Raspberry Picking and Jam Making

A few of the ladies from church took their kids to pick berries. Ethan had two weeks off between school and camp so we also were able to join in on the fun! We ended up picking raspberries and then buying some really yummy donuts! Terhune Orchard's also has a small petting zoo and other things for the kids to play with. 

Since we had the raspberries, one of the ladies suggested we make jam. So, the next day, we went over to her house and made several types! We ended up making quite a bit. We made, raspberry peach, strawberry, strawberry blueberry and blueberry. The kids even had a great time playing while we

made the jam! Ethan had a great time and even talked with Paul! That makes the day in and of itself!

Endowed

Back in June, on the 13th, I received my endowments! 13 is my favorite number so it was a perfect day! I received them in the Manhattan, NY Temple. Ali Hunter was my escort. I must say, I am very thankful for the blessings in my life and being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

The tiniest deer I've ever seen!

I just wanted to share these photos... On my way home from church today there was an ity bity little fawn standing beside the road. Of course, I thought to myself I need to take a picture! So, I turned around and pulled into a rocky area. I'm surprised I didn't break my ankle walking in heels! My question is where's ma and pa?! Can you see the little guy or gal? Who turns around for a picture of a deer? That's my question!
