Mom, Emily, and Ben preparing our amazing shrimp taco dinner.

Mom and Emily came to visit a couple of weekends ago.

Emily got to {meet} my house and Ben!

It was so fun to see them and have 'em here...
although we didn't take many pictures.

Gila Valley Temple Open House

I love to see the temple.

I especially love open houses.

I can't wait until the Gilbert Temple is built!

Ben finally cashed in his birthday present
and we went to the Diamondbacks and Giants game this weekend.


We sat in the outfield.

Enjoying the game.

We had a fun time
even though
D-backs got second place.

Long Holiday Weekend

Ben and I escaped the AZ summer heat over the long 4th of July weekend

and drove up to Provo.

We had a fun road trip

laughing, talking, and singing along with some tunes!

We met up with his parents, his brother and sister-in-law, and his nephew and niece.

Mimi's Cafe taken from the car window.

We may have eaten there times 2

in the same day. Wink! Wink!

It was so fun to meet up with his grandpa and my nana.

Lucky for us some of my sibs were also in town

so Ben got to meet more of my fam.

Steve, Heather, Brandon, Rach, Ben and me

chilling.

Steve and Ben were even completing each others punchlines

even at their first meeting.
