Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Seattle Trip - August 5th

In the morning Matt, Spencer, Dad, Mom, Jayson, and I got to go do sealings in the temple. It was really neat to be able to do that as a family.

In the afternoon all the girls got together for a "Flip Flops and Lemon Drops" picnic while the boys went to the shooting range!

The picnic was Carolyn's idea and she was the perfect hostess!
Isn't this a gorgeous spread?! I am in love with the table cloth. She had "place cards" for each of us, which were lemons with a little tag pinned into them with each of our initials. Those beautiful flowers in the center were also made by hand (by Carolyn of course!).
The meal was delicious and we had so much fun enjoying our sister time. You can see a couple more pictures of the picnic on Carolyn's blog Simple Design.
In the evening Jayson and I went down to Auburn to spend some time with Jayson's sister and her cute family. Sadly I didn't take any pictures!!! We had a fun time visiting with them and spending time with her 3 cute kids. Thanks for feeding us dinner Brooke!

Up next, our adventures in Canada! Jayson and I took a mini-vacation during our vacation and went up to Victoria, B.C. for two days.
