White Trash Fun and Father's Day

One of the reasons why I love West Jordan is for the Demolition Derby. West Jordan's finest come out for the event. It is almost as much fun to people watch as it is to watch the cars crash. Special thanks to Father Young for giving us all the free Nachos, Pizza, Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Dr. Pepper, and candy we could eat. A Demolition Derby isn't the same without eating like a complete pig.















Father's Day was really fun. We had dinner at my parent's house and then headed to my Grandma's for pie.

We gave my dad a pretty cool flashlight. I think it shines clear to outer space.

Memorial Day and St. George

I had to work all of Memorial Day Weekend so we didn't get to go on any vacations, but we did manage to take a trip to the cemetery to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Young's grave and my Great Grandma and Grandpa Gronning's grave.

First we picked some peonies to place on the headstones. These flowers have been in my dad's family for generations, my dad transplanted some to his yard from my Grandma Young's yard. They are so pretty, I need to make sure to get some for my yard.









And of course a trip to the cemetery wouldn't be complete without a photo shoot. Here is a beautiful pic I took of sis.



The next weekend Todd and I headed down to St. George for a little vacation. We had a lot of fun swimming, watching tv, and being lazy.

One day Todd came out of the bedroom wearing some goggles and one of his dad's hats. He also found a pair of goggles for me. There is always one creep at the pool wearing goggles. This time, Todd and I were those creeps. We dived for toys for hours in the pool. I decided to lay out and Todd stayed in the pool, with his goggles, diving for things by himself. Haha. People probably thought something was wrong with him. A giant man, 25 years old, swimming with a pair of goggles.



We also ate at a very delicious BBQ restaurant called Tony's Barbecue. I have been craving that pork sandwich since we left. If you go down there, you need to try it.




After dinner we went to visit the St. George Temple. I have never been up close to this Temple and I never realized how pretty it is. It is so white.








It was so nice to get away, I already need to go back!!!
