Fun in the SUN!

Our Fabulous Mother's Day Weekend Getaway....to Parowan of course :). We also hit up St. George, which is where our Miniature Golf pics came from. We had a great time together, and we did a lot more than just miniature golfing, but for some reason we didn't take pictures of anything else! A lot of good came from this trip- Dale can finally say he has officially seen all of Parowan- I drug him on a Historical Parowan Tour. He saw the famous Parowan Gap and the equally exciting cemetery where he was privileged (YES, I did say privileged :) to see the gravestone of the first Martyr from Southern Utah. Super exciting, let me tell you! We Parowanites are proud of our heritage :).

What a stud! I especially love how you can see the shadow of me taking the picture!

Crazy hair! It was super windy :)



Dale looks guilty in this pic...he probably is :)


Aw...lovin life with my hubby!

Parowan or Bust!

This weekend Dale and I once again took the long trek down to Parowan to visit my fam.

The P-Hill



I admit this is not the most exciting drive, even with a working radio and snacks, but this time we didn't even have Dale's funky music to keep us alert :). We have been without a car radio for a couple of weeks now. Our car wouldn't start one morning and we had to get it jump-started. Our stereo system has been out of commission ever since. This is nothing new...I thought fixing the stereo would just require a call to the dealership with our Vin #. For whatever reason, instead of making the call we've been trying to guess the code for weeks now...hoping we will miraculously hit the jackpot and type in the correct 5 digits...HA!!! We gave up on this ploy yesterday when we realized this 3 hour road trip was going to be the longest of our lives if we didn't get some tunes! I called the dealership, confident this was the answer to our problem, but they were not helpful AT ALL...both dealerships told us we would have to bring our car in. What a joke!! Instead, we endured the 3 hour trip by making up our own songs (Dale is a master at this :).

It was fun being home...it's crazy how much things have changed in our family this year- 3 marriages in 7 months, and now my little brother Jared is getting married in July! Wow!!!
My poor parents! We had a good time just hanging out, eating, and we even all went bowling (I am a terrible bowler!) I think the highlight of the trip for Dale was our walk through The Heritage Park...this is one of Parowan's claims to Fame. President Hinkley dedicated this park when I was 12 years old. Of course, it has now become the local "Make-out Point"...go figure.

Pics from our trip!!!

Dale and I squinting...don't judge me because of my messy hair :). I just woke from a 3 hour nap before going to this park!













The sign telling about the Spanish Trail and how it went through Parowan :)
