Something I look forward every summer is when Sarah and Paul come down to Provo to compete in the Special Olympic Summer Games! BYU hosts the Utah S.O. at their track field and its a chance for me to take most of the day off work and give some TLC time to my sibs! They are serious athletes! I was so impressed watching them race in the heat. They both won several metals for their track events and also in the softball throw. This is I'm so proud of these two! This year the games were at the end of May, so its been awhile, but I just loaded these to our computer and I just had to share how proud I am of them! Good job you guys!!!

Sooo I haven't updated our blog in half of forever... but I changed our background.. Maybe that counts for something? Well, despite our boring blog, we have been incredibly busy!
This last weekend was all out party, we went on our first camping trip up Spanish Fork Canyon - to a spot called Tucker. We got our first flat tire while we were there! Matthew did a awesome job at rescuing us, I was so impressed! After dinner we got rained out and finally decided to go home, but we had great time! Tin foil dinners and s'mores make any camping trip a happy one. I thought it was great, we got five or six hours of the mighty outdoors and still got to sleep in our own bed - perfect!
Saturday, Matthew was a stud and took me shopping in Park City! I think he just got tired of me standing in the closet every morning making grumbling noises when I realize that I STILL don't have anything to wear. lol... he is so patient! There we met up with Penne and Lane, who took us to the Leann Rhymes and the Utah Symphony Concert at Deer Valley Resort - amazing! I had only been to Park City once or twice before I met Matthew, so every time we go there I get so excited! It was such a beautiful night and perfect weather. It was SO fun to be there with Matthew's parents, I adore them! We took a picnic up and had dinner up on the hill. I couldn't have imagined a anything better than being curled up in blanket, listening to these amazing performers under the beautiful night!
Sunday we slacked all duties and went to Salt Lake to tour the Beehive House and wander Temple Square. We met some cute sister missionaries who were anxious to share all about the Beehive home. Before my family moved to Utah, we were here on vacation and toured the home, but I was just little, so it was like new for both Matthew and I. If you love antiques (which I certrainly do!) or are even just into the vintage fade -go and visit the Beehive House, its so beaultiful and the history of it only makes it better! I was tempted to heist everything and bring it all back to decorate our own place with, everything so was elegant and detailed, the restored pieces of furniture, lamps, books and drapes even down to the toys the children played with where really truly beautiful - everything was so beautiful! So many of the original decorations of the home took my breath away. The tour told a lot about the life style and personality of Brigham Young, and I was even more impressed with him when we left.
We also visited Gilgal Sculpture Gardens. Its tucked away on a little side street, and has some beautiful gardens. It was build in the 50's by a mason and is filled to brim with sculptures and stones engraved with scripture, poetry and some intriguing literature. It was so interesting, interesting being the key word. :) Salt Lake has so many hidden attraction you'll never see if you don't keep your eyes open...and drive around aimlessly!
