* Saturday morning we were toasted oats and so we slept in, leisurely got ready and then met my family + my aunt and uncle and their family HERE for lunch.
Holy Cow – this place was GOOD!!!
Their onion rings were TO DIE FOR.
And fry sauce…oh fry sauce….why can’t you please come to Arizona?
{Side note: Who has a recipe for fry sauce that they LOVE? Please share.}
We had SO much fun catching up with our cousins on my mom’s side. Get togethers like this always make me wish that we lived closer to each other.
Afterwards we headed downtown…
Can you even stand how pretty the SLC temple is?
Breathtaking, really.
We toured the Church History Museum for the first time ever and watched the new Joseph Smith First Vision video.
It was STUNNING.
I left feeling uplifted…oh so uplifted!

Joe explaining some of our ancestory line to Grant. |
Utah sure is pretty.
Their scenery is some of the best in all the land.
Later that afternoon we made it back to my friend’s house where we were staying…
The kids rode around on mopeds and scooters….
…while us adults went out to dinner.
SLC {and surrounding} peeps!!! – – THIS is the BEST mexican food EVER!!!
We waited a good hour to be sat and I promise it was worth every minute!!!
This photo doesn’t even do our burrito justice.
Joe and I split the BURLEEDO and it was at least a foot and a half long. And covered in queso sauce – – HeLLo?!?!
I’ve seriously been dreaming about it + their chips and salsa ever since. Not even joking.
Gosh, I love this crew.
I grew up with these 2 ladies – – like since birth.
Our moms were and still are lifelong BFFs.
Getting together with them is just like getting together with family.
The rest of the evening was spent back at Jenni’s house.
The kids had all been begging us for a dance party and so we obliged.
Joe and Adam even got into the mix and if you follow me on Instagram….there’s proof in the form of a video! ๐

Hi Marci,
I love your blog and ideas. I was wondering how you create your printables? Do you use certain programs to design them? I am interested in learning how to do it. I don't know where to start. Do you need a college degree ๐ Can an old person like me learn this stuff? lol! I think you are so creative. If you would be willing to email me I would appreciate it.
Thank you!!
