* Friday morning temple trip.
If you ever have the chance to start your weekend out there, I highly recommend it!
Afterwards, I discovered a new spot to work on my laptop and sip endless amounts of Diet Coke!!
Great wi-fi, good food – – I only wish they had a bigger cup to fill my Diet Coke with 😜 {they’re only size is like 12 ounces…I mean come on!}
* Came home to find out that Carson’s turtle Waddles has decided how to climb…😳
You guys, this tiny creature really grosses me out.
It could be because Carson rarely cleans the tank.
OR…because it has a tail that looks like a tiny piece of poo.
Regardless….we are stuck with it because Carson loves it so.
* Friday night we headed down to central Phoenix.
My bro just bought a house there and it is SO COOL!
So many unique features…my favorite though might be this original brick from the 1920s!!!
{It’s in the master bedroom, too!}
Afterwards, we checked out Novel…
Ice-cream STUFFED donuts SAY WHAT?!?!?!?
{That’s right….WARM donuts + creamy ice-cream!}
Locals: add this place to your list of MUST TRY PLACES!
London and Cars opted for the ‘cookie monster’ ice-cream..
It really was heavenly and in the most little, unique spot on Grand Ave.
* Saturday was spent running kids back and forth and back and forth. Anyone else’s weekends feel like that?
* Thank goodness for date night Saturday night HERE.
My husband had to prove a point to my cousin’s wife that HE was saving the planet by not using a straw. I however, was not. {Because let’s be honest….no straw = EW!}
Also: their Diet Coke is HANDS DOWN THE BEST!
Also – this family was on their phones THE ENTIRE TIME.
ALL OF THEM!
Made me laugh. And kind of sad at the same time.
* Churchey-church on Sunday.
We discussed THIS great talk from Elder David A. Bednar in Relief Society – – such a great talk!
* Sunday night we had some of our favorite people over for dinner. My friend requested pot roast {which YOU KNOW…is my fave!} I whipped up some mashed potatoes, butt rolls and then for a veggie I made these….
{is it weird that I LOVE peas?}
So yummy!
So grateful for the good people in our lives.
