This past week, Trevon received his "answer" from Lauren regarding Homecoming...

It went along perfectly with how he asked her. Very clever!

Kristi celebrated a birthday! It was a busy day that included two dentist appointments and a meeting for Relief Society. Mike worked late, so we celebrated at 9pm! Kristi requested having a "Strawberry Shortcake" cake on her birthday (her usual birthday cake request). I baked a white cake and covered it with whipped cream and strawberries. We ate it with vanilla ice cream.

Corban wanted so badly to blow out the candles. A very tired Kristi opened up some gifts, many of which were candy.

She got a new watch and some headbands. Grandma and Papa sent a nice card and money. Sadie and Corban made very cute cards for her too. All her sisters gave her candy, and so did I! Sweets for a sweet girl!

Thursday night, Cari was officially sworn in as a member of the Hurricane City Youth Council. She seemed a little nervous to stand in front of everyone who was at the meeting. In the picture below, she is shaking Mayor Hirschi's hand.

That same evening, Mike, Cari and Kristi entered their baked goods in the Peach Days contest. Mike made Peanut Blossom cookies (using a TOBLERONE candy instead of a Hershey's Kiss), Cari entered Chocolate Chip cookies, and Kristi made a spice cookie.


Cari and Kristi both received a second place ribbon and Mike received a first place ribbon....and the rest of us have plenty of goodies in the freezer to last us a little while!
