Oquirrh Mountian Temple open house

We just barely made time to go to the Oquirrh Temple open house last week! I wasn't thinking and scheduled us for a Wednesday evening, which is youth group night for many churches. So we where surrounded giggly girls, and lots of talking. It was packed! All of that was worth it though, just to give Rosalind another chance to see the inside of a Temple. Which she loved!

I wish the sun had been a little bit lower, and that my batteries hadn't been dying. Oh well its still a cute picture! Love my family!

Dutch oven enrichment!

This is the 2nd annual dutch oven dinner for our ward. It was a fun night, there were a lot more people there than last year. And the weather was perfect if only the sun went down a little sooner this time of year.

Rose and Lexi

Me getting artsy with the dutch ovens, I couldn't resist they were lined up so nicely. I think we hat 13 dutch oven dishes in total.

Rosalind was mad at me because I told her that she couldn't play until she ate something other that a cupcake!

hair today gone tomorrow!

I have been growing out my hair for locks of love, and am tired of it so before we go camping this weekend I had it cut!

Before!
Rosalind took this picture so it is not the most flattering angle.

I forget how red my hair really is. That is 10 inches of hair people!

After!
I like it and it is so much cooler!

swim week #3

Week 3! Well she is much more comfortable in the water, but suddenly refuses to go in the deep end. next week is the last for summer swim lessons.

we will miss Jeffery!

Elder Liechty is now on a mission! We will miss him, but we know that he will do a great job up there in Canada. He has a very kind heart and he will be good at expressing his love for the Gospel and all of the people he teaches.
Rosalind said, as we drove by their house the other day and started talking about Jeffery that we should stop talking about him because it made her sad that he was gone. Two years will go by faster than she thinks.

fun family pictures!

Big boys on the trampoline!

The fourth!

The fourth of July was nice! We went to a BBQ for Beth's birthday, which was fun. Lots of friends and family, there were four of us Kates. I kept think that my name was being called.
Oh how we love Beth and we are so glad that they live here now.

After the Barbecue we went over to our church building for the parking lot of fire! Basically everyone bring their own fire works and set them of and wait for it to get dark to watch the Lehi city fireworks. It is always fun to watch the men play with fire.

Rose and mama!

Adventures with Amanda!

So my best friend Amanda came to town earlier this month and she graced the Liechty's with almost a full day of fun filled Amanda activities. She moved to Texas so we only see her about twice a year. So I asked Rosalind where she wanted to go eat and as usual she wanted to go to the Mayan, which I must say is fun but way overpriced! But she loves the diving so we went. Plus Amanda and I planned to go to a movie after so it worked out well logistically. So here are some pictures from the day.

So Amanda's drink had the ice packed in it so tight that when she drank it it didn't fall. Well at least we thought it was funny, or at least cool.

After lunch Joe and Rosalind headed home and to buy fireworks for the next days festivities. Amanda and I went to see My Sisters Keeper, which was good but we cried almost the whole way through it is a sad but funny movie. Then we ran around doing Utah errands, i.e. Deseret Book, and church distribution, and so on. It was great to see "Mana" and actually spend time with her, we all miss her I think Joe does to sometimes.

Sundance

Joe's office had their company picnic up at Sundance this year! We have never been up there before, sad I know. It was amazingly beautiful and I really want to go back up and do some adventuring around before the snow comes this fall. Maybe do some fun family pictures. That is if I can have coroperation from a certian child of our, the pictures below are a good example of her mood swings.

I made Joe take this picture of me, I need to remember to take off name tags before pictures!

Here are so examples of how beautiful it is at Sundance.

And the happy couple! Silly Joe!

Liechty cousins

Here are a few of the cousins. This was the first time that we have met Jessica, whom resides in Georgia (Jessica is the one in the bottom center)she was here for a band camp at BYU. They all look eerily similar, if only sam and Rosalind had their glasses on too. It was fun meeting Jessica and playing games with the family.
