Memorial

We got a new lens for our camera, check out the WIDE angle. Saturday breakfast was so yummy, french toast at Emily and Tylers. We walked around temple square and took some pictures of plants. Lunch at the Red Iguana, delicious. And then we hit up the Park City outlets. Sunday we walked around BYU campus and took more pictures of plants. Monday we did yard work and took about four shopping trips, still no pants for John, but somehow I managed to find good stuff for me and Wes.

Hummus

First of all I have become obsessed with hummus. I had never tried it until last week and I'm hooked.

Second of all you have to make this recipe TONIGHT! It is so good and so easy, and a perfect light meal. I made one for me and John for dinner and then he asked me to make him another one, and then he said "that was so good, can I have another one, Wes ate most of it"



Ingredients:
1/3 cup prepared hummus
4 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
I also added avocado, and it was great

Directions:
Spread hummus on tortillas; top with chicken, peppers, cheese and basil. Roll up.

Third you can use it in place of mayo on sandwiches and it is so much better for you and in place of dip and use pitas, veggies and chips, so delicious.

Fourth you can make your own which is much cheaper and here is a good recipe:
(I did buy store bought and it was delish)



Ingredients:
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
In a food processor, combine the oil, lemon juice, beans, garlic and salt; cover and process until smooth.

First Steps

Wes took his first steps tonight trying to get treats from us, I still think it will be a while til he is actually walking. Lets see if this video works.

Open House

We went home to Idaho this weekend for Nathan and Chelsea's Open House, which turned out to be such a fun time! We spent some time Friday and Saturday planting flowers, spreading mulch and making delicious food and then Saturday night was the big party. Wes had fun playing with Jenny and Ty's son Cooper, although I don't know if Cooper was having all that much fun since Wes was chasing him around trying to hug him every minute. Wes also figured out how to push this little chair around the house and walk behind it, it was entertaining for us anyway. We got to hear about their Honeymoon to Mexico and watch them open presents after the party, so many fun things as newlyweds! Sunday we had a great roast and potato dinner and then we drove home, lots of fun.



Unfortunately we didn't get many pictures while we were there but I did find these pictures on Rick and Anne's computer of us years ago at conference, remodeling our house, and when we first started dating. I hadn't seen these before!

Arizona

We drove down to Scottsdale this weekend for Nathan and Chelsea's wedding. Emily and Tyler rode with us and I'm afraid Emily got food spit on her a few times by Wes. We woke up Saturday and got to see Joel, Natalie, and Lauren (she is so cute and tiny). The sealing was beautiful, and we got a little burnt outside the temple while taking pictures, the sun was so intense. Joel and Natalie brought Sprinkles cupcakes from LA for my birthday, yum, thanks! The bride and groom looked great, the reception was gorgeous, and the food was delicious. It was so cute to see how excited they were to be married and it reminded me how happy we were to finally belong to each other, I think we take it for granted sometimes. We drove through the tip of the grand canyon on the way home and got back last night, it was such a fun trip! Here are a ton of pictures.

Finally

I started organizing my recipes in december and now finished it. I can finally find the recipes I'm looking for and its so easy to type and print up new ones, it feels good.

Ha

Wes can't walk but he can talk, he learned how to say fish and hot this week (he whispers 'hot' very carefully). I think he is up to about ten words now, still no mom, mama, or mommy.




I found these funny pictures in the camera. Wes won't get off something unless he can feel the floor underneath him before he has to let go. He will climb the coffee table and then just lay there til we come get him. He is only an inch away! Silly!
