Moab Anniversary Trip

For our 1 year anniversary, we decided to do something that we might not have the chance to do again since we'll be moving soon. So we went to Moab to do mountain biking and hiking!

We left on Friday morning and drove to Moab. We went and set up our campsite then went on a hike. That night we went to a really nice BBQ restaurant called The Blu Pig.

Saturday morning we woke up, ate breakfast, packed lunches, then went to Slicrock where we did some mountain biking. Then we went on Morning Glory Bridge hike. The last physically exerting activity was mountain biking Gemini Bridges. After that we were so exhausted! We went to Pizza Hut to eat dinner. Last, we went and sat in the hot tubs at our campground.

On Sunday we woke up, ate breakfast, packed lunches, packed up camp, then drove to Arches National Park. We enjoyed driving and looking at all the pretty scenery, and hiking to Delicate Arch. Then we drove home.

It was a fantastic vacation. I loved learning how to mountain bike and Ammon loved getting one more Moab trip in before we move!

Silver Lake

Over Labor Day weekend, my parents, Ammon and I went up to our cabin and spent the night. While up there, we hiked Silver Lake. We had tried to do this in late June, but there was too much snow melt (the river was very flooded) and we heard there was snow to hike through, so we didn't make it all the way. Anyways, we had a fun time hiking it!

In the mail

Today I got the cutest letter in the mail. I have to say, I have THE CUTEST 6 year old niece EVER! Thank you Avri for sending me a letter in the mail, I loved it! Watch the mail for something in return!

Dinner!

The other night I was planning to cook spaghetti for dinner, and I wasn't too jazzed about it. Spaghetti is good, but nothing exciting. So, I decided to make it exciting! I made some french bread rolls to go with the spaghetti and made some extra good spaghetti sauce! I just followed the directions to a recipe for the sauce, but added some browned hamburger meat and a little onion to it. The rolls, YUM, they were divine! I thought it might be fun to take some pictures of some of the food I've been making lately, so here they are!
