As of Late...

Here's a few pics of some of the things we've been up to the past couple of weeks...

We celebrated Rachael and Carlee's birthdays.... at the Pancake House...

With these people....

And ate this yummy food! My mouth is watering right now... yours should be too!

Lucky for us, Jeff's dad had a convention for his work in Pittsburgh last week so both his parents were able to come visit us again! We kicked off our week with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants... ICHIBAN. (We actually love ALL Hibachi grill restaurants) Plus you get to watch them make your food which is definitely a bonus! If you haven't gone there... you should. My favorite is the volcano. (Those who have been there know what I am talking about)

Unfortunately Jeff had school and I had to work all week so Tony and Kathie were pretty much left to entertain themselves... but on Saturday we were able to go to Falling Water (the house built on a waterfall by Frank Lloyd Wright). It was really quite amazing to see the work he put into this home. He was an amazing architect. They wouldn't allow us to take any pictures once we were inside, so here a couple from the outside. (The house goes back a lot further than what you can see.)

The view from the other side. Everything was so green. I loved it!

On our way home we stopped and ate at PF Changs... (thanks to our free lettuce wrap coupons we were able to get a free order of lettuce wraps with the purchase of an entree... don't worry, we got 4 entrees, which means 4 lettuce wraps... we weren't letting those coupons go to waste!) And yes, we still have leftovers!
On our way to PF Changs... we saw this....

Is this a new fashion statement that I'm not aware of?? I caught part of Jeff's head in the pic, it was the best I could do without making myself TOO obvious. We already had to slow down so I could take the pic. We still can't figure out if this was their underwear or what they were wearing underneath their shorts, the girl in the front was just as bad as the girl in the back! So attractive...

We had a barbecue with a few of the incoming students for next year. Yay for summer! They were here for orientation so we decided to plan a bbq so we could meet all of them and hopefully help them feel a little more comfortable about coming out here. We had a pretty big turn out! Here's a pic of a few of us.


We decided to do it at a park this year which turned out great! The kids could play on the playground and the boys could play football... while the girls talked!

And yes, I won the biggest hamburger contest. Okay, there wasn't a contest, but if there was... I would have won... HANDS DOWN.

As you can see we are very much enjoying our summer... as much as we can anyway, between work and school. I'm definitely looking forward to more sun and more bbq's. Summer... HERE WE COME!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Jeff and I had a great Memorial Day weekend. We drove to Rochester Friday night after work and spent the night in a hotel. Saturday morning we drove to Palmyra and visited all the church history sites. We were also able to do a session at the Palmyra temple. It was such a neat experience! Then we spent the night again in Rochester and drove to Niagra Falls Sunday morning... where we spent the rest of our day... Couldn't have had a better weekend!
