We're baaaaaack!

Oh hey!!! I love the fourth of JULY! I love spending time up at the cabin (for those of you who guessed.) with family, roasting marshmallows, hanging out on the paddle boat, fireworks and the rodeo! Doesn't get much better! But I also love coming back home and getting back on schedule (the twinners appreciate this just as much) And settling back into normalcy. Here are a few pics from our crazy weekend!

T&B's FIRST RODEO! They loved it! We even were able to teach them how to MOOOO! & whenever they saw the cows they would Moooo! 

T and I swinging on the swing! He could spend HOURS on the swing. He loves it!

We even hung out for a little while in the paddle boat! Since my babies don't like water I was a little nervous but they did great! 

Since the fourth fell on a monday we packed up and headed home! When we arrived home Brent and I both decided due to the holiday we would have a BBQ! Its a must!

On the menu?

Turkey Burgers with all the fixings!

Grilled Asparagus

Sweet Potato Fries 

Grilled Peaches!

TURKEY BURGERS

I only had about a Quarter pound of Lean Ground Turkey so I added the following

1/2 C. Old fashioned oats

1/3 C. Oat flour

1 egg white

1 tbsp of  Rosemary

1 Tbsp of Oregano 

I mashed it all together and formed two perfectly sized patties!  Everything came together beautifully! I topped my patty on a bed of lettuce with tomato, onion (the size of your head).. cucumbers, with a smear of grape seed veganaise

GRILLED PEACHES?

Grilled Peaches are the bomb. They are so simple and become the sweetest thing you will ever eat. I sliced the peach in half and covered with agave nectar and placed it on the grill. The Agave becomes like a glaze and is simply perfection! 

We ended the night by relaxing out in our backyard watching all of our neighbors fireworks... (hey free, is free..) and once our backyard neighbors were done we went out front and watched others. (The fireworks that shoot up in the air just became legal in Utah so they were shooting over the housetops for us to see) It was so fun and I didn't have to burn up my own money.. haha! Thanks neighbors! ;)

Birthday Party X3

Last night we headed down to provo to celebrate some birthdays!! A few of my friends from high school all share the same birthday week, so we get together every year for a party! We of course had a BBQ, cake and a little sand volleyball competition!
Last year for the party I was pregnant VERY pregnant and a few of our friends wives were also pregnant and this year there was babies galore! Its fun to see them play together, I think it will be fun once they can all walk and run around causing chaos where ever they turn..
We grilled up some turkey burgers and J-dawgs. I piled my plate full of fruit salad and a turkey burger- no bun.

Grilled pineapple is a summer party on my tastebuds!! I love it!!! The twinners even enjoyed a few bites!

"sorry mom, I'm busy eating so I'm not going to look at you"

And T was to busy playing on his friends bike to eat.. He was walking!! all over with this thing! He was in heaven. 

A quick playtime it was time to cut the cake!! 

Blow out the candles!!!!!

We played volleyball till the sun went down. We had a great time with our friends! We don't get together as much as we should so we look forward to our Birthday Bash once a year!

Good Night!
