STUFF AND MORE STUFF

It's been awhile I know. I'm pretty sure the only reader who really cares is my mom (love ya mom). Here are my excuses... A) I've been lazy, B) Work has been so crazy that I haven't had time, C) Been busy at night doing (stupid) 8 minute abs with Clayton, taking long walks and watching episodes of Hannah Montana.

Now that the excuses are over with let's get on to the picture overload section...
A couple of weeks ago we had a Spencer reunion in Sandy. It was my Grandpa Spencer's brothers and sisters and all their family's. Pretty large crowd. Most of whom I had never met. It is amazing how strong the Spencer trait is. Most of my gramps brothers and sisters look alike. The reunion was on a Saturday, so Clayton and I decided to make a weekend out of it and headed down Friday.
Our first stop was here...
Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Beautiful. Highly recommend it.

Angel Moroni was struck by lightening awhile back. If you look closely you can see how black his arm is. They are replacing the Angel Moroni sometime soon. Us again...because you know you can never get enough!


For dinner we stopped here...

It was on our restaurant bucket list (more on that in a future post). Not bad. However our waitress seemed to be PMSing. O-N-E-R-Y. Food was good. I think that I like Texas Roadhouse better though. Must be all the free peanuts. I know the action poses need to stop. They are just soo much fun though.

On to grams and gramps where we spend the night and saw this...

lovely rainbow. It was actually a double rainbow, but you can't see it too much in this picture. The next morning we headed to the reunion where we ate, visited and played softball - rounders style.

This guy came ready to play.



Our catcher


Our crazy 3rd baseman


Can't tell if he is golfing or batting. Pretty sure that was a strike Cort. Nice. Also pretty sure Kace hit the ball farther than I did. Time to hit the batting cages. Skills have gone downhill since the softball days.

After the rousing game some of use decided to rinse our sweaty bodies off by...
taking a swim at Kami and Erik's pool. Others decided to go buy tires for their car (boooooring). Interesting story about Kami and Erik's apartment complex where we swam. The night before we went swimming a crazy guy was on his balcony shooting guns. You might have heard about the story on the news. If not and you want to read about a crazy click HERE.
WARNING: there are some serious farmers tans in the pictures following.




I told you so. Farmers tans. awesome.

This picture has to be my favorite of the day...week...month...year.

After swimming we caught this movie on IMAX.
Clayton looks thrilled in this picture, does he not!?! Since he was the one who "really, really, really, really, really..." wanted to see Transformers and took me along with him I made him pose for me. This picture is a lot better then the one where he is picking his nose out in front of the theater.
4th of July post will be coming ... sometime...

BOOO!! Goodwood is so much better than Texas Roadhouse!

Goodwood is pretty good, pretty much the same as the roadhouse. I am very appreciative that you posted the warning about the farmers tan. I could have been blinded.
