Priceless

I just love the random things I find on Facebook.

For example, this...

Cole's Legendary Prom

Cole had his first Prom tonight.

He took a beautiful girl (both inside and out), 
Caroline.


They started the day off with their "day" date.  His group organized an Iron Chef type of activity.  Each couple had a bizarre item of food and $10 to spend.  They had to figure out something to make with the food item and then went shopping for the remaining ingredients.  They were not allowed to spend more than their $10.  After shopping, they headed over to a friends house to prepare their menu item.  Then, they ate it all for lunch.  It was a lot of fun!  Although, Cole and his group of friends could have fun anywhere doing anything. 
 They are a good group of kids!

After the "day" date, the girls were taken home to get ready and the boys (at least most of them) headed over to Utah Lake to set up for dinner.  They found a spot at the end of the jetty, set up tables and chairs, and set the tables with fancy dishes, etc.  

They even laid carpet down so the girls' wouldn't get dirty!





Lee (and his sous chef, Emma) made chicken lasagna and they had rolls and salad to go with it.
  



The girls were super impressed! 

 It was pretty much awesome (some may say legendary!) and I'm sure they will always remember it!

After dinner, they headed over to the Promenade -- Provo High's tradition -- over at the Provo City Library.  This is when each couple is announced and they walk down the big steps of the library and everyone cheers and takes pictures.
 
 Once they take their pictures, they head up to the ballroom for the dance.  



They then headed over to one of their friends house for dessert.  

It was a fun-filled, memorable day!


Moab Getaway



For a few days during Spring Break this year, we took Max and Emma on a little trip to Moab (or I should say "Lee's Moab" because he kept saying that Heavenly Father made Moab just for him!)
It was fun to see the places first-hand that I've heard so much about.  It was a lot of fun hearing the memories Lee has with the older boys there.  
It was different just having the two younger kids with us.  We missed having the whole family together.  Hopefully we will make it back with everyone before Scott leaves for Panama.
We spent a lot of time hiking and driving through the beautiful Arches National Park and the different sites in Moab.  Our campground was really fun and we had a great time just being together.

Here's some of the highlights...


Balanced Rock
This was pretty amazing!  
It was huge.  
I'm not gonna lie...It was super freaky standing under the huge boulder!



The Delicate Arch

This was such a beautiful but difficult hike.  But it was totally worth it when we got to see the arch up close!


The Slick Rock Trail






The park with the musical instruments 
(not sure of the name)

Good Times!
