Sunday drive

Liv wears these glasses EVERYWHERE! She gets some funny looks in the grocery store!

We went for a Sunday drive on the Nebo loop. I thought the trees would be really pretty but most of them haven't changed yet. Next weekend should be a better time to go. But the kids had fun and we took them on a short hike and let them have a picnic by payson lake.
Allie refused to smile for this picture. She wanted to have a picnic right then and was mad that she had to wait until we got back to the lake. She dishes out 90% of the drama in our house!
Gracie is the only one who cooperates with me when I want to take pictures. Sometimes I have to tell her to just be natural and not to pose.

Liv running through the trees.
Allie taking charge and carrying her load. I just love that they are so cute and little and the simplest things are so much fun to them. I really don't ever want them to grow up!

I keep telling Dave that I want to go for a drive up Nebo loop since both of us have never been on it! It looks like the girls really enjoyed it! I think that we will wait a couple of weeks though if the leaves haven't changed yet! Oh and I love the picture of Olivia in her sunglasses, so cute!

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
