Weekly Update - berry dehydrating, Costco adventuring, temple walking

Some highlights of this past week...

On one of our routine trips to the Trader Joes aisles, Marli told me she NEEDED strawberries. I mean, can you blame her?!

Attempted dehydrating them in our oven, turned out pretty tasty!

Tasted like fruit snacks!

Unexpected family trip to the dentist! Thankfully it was on a Friday when Evan had work off and could come with!

Funny story...we were supposed to spend all day Saturday at a preview day for Western University...we realized late the night before that it was happening at the POMONA CALIFORNIA campus...haha! Oops! Sooooo we got to PLAY together on Saturday!

Bowling! SUCH A GOOD FAMILY DATE with a baby...we'll be doing this again!

Hiking together in one of our favorite wildernesses...COSTCO!

Trying chicken...might be a favorite! She CHOWED IT!

Haha!

Wildflower bouquets are my FAVORITE EVER. Thanks babe!

New FOODS for our Marli this week!

LIMES! And LEMONS! She LOVES THEM!

Daddy's rib bone at Grammy and Grandpa's!

Blueberries, biscuits and cornbread at Cracker Barrel! WE LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!

Lasagna w/the Sister missionaries! Had to try after all my preggo lasagna dreams..

NOT Pictured:

• VALUE VILLAGE THURSDAY! Went w/Grammy, Ri, and Charley, and made BOMB panini's afterwards. Nice to spend some time w/Ri before she's off to BYU THIS WEEK!
• Dinner w/Nielsen's at El Señor! LOVE this family, and that we'll be close to each other a little longer.

"In case you were wondering...THIS is what it's all about." -Evan, on our walk around the temple today.

LOVELOVELOVE this little family of mine! FULL of gratitude this past week for them...and that I'm able to stay home to love on my little one. Being a wife and a mom to these two is the most tender, beautiful blessing I can imagine!
