Dinner out to celebrate Sara's birthday, made more special by dining at an amazing Italian place here in town. I enjoyed this fabulous seafood pasta dish. Scrumptious!

We celebrated this lovely little lady's birthday a little early, since we would be camping on her actual birthday. She enjoyed her day with a couple of friends, a delicious cake made by her sister, and fun had by all!

Special day as this soon-to-be-8-year-old gets her ears pierced, as is tradition in our family. It's great to be 8!

I walked past this sight in the kitchen and it made me a little teary-eyed. My youngest was helping me make cookies and pulled the chair up to the counter. I realized that, soon, she won't need a chair to help me at the counter and, soon, she won't be there to help me at all. I just had to capture this fleeting moment because, before I know it, it will be only a memory. *sniff*. At least I can drown my sorrows in cookies and milk

A special moment, the youth having their hair washed by members of the stake presidency. One of the many ways the youth felt of their worth during Moroni's quest!
