AT ARLINGTON TX

From One Bowl to Another...

Jen, Barbara, Shana, Rich

Lest it be confused with the Hollywood Bowl, "since the summer of 1992 the Burbank Starlight Bowl has been thrilling audiences with a blend of high energy performances and community based programming.

Nestled in the Verdugo Mountains, the Starlight Bowl is Burbank's premiere outdoor entertainment venue and has entertained generations of Southern California families. The Starlight Bowl's convenient location, great sight lines, grassy picnic area and comfortable seating are complemented by the high quality family entertainment presented on July 4th and each Sunday evening throughout the summer."

My friend Barbara has season box tickets. She was kind enough to take me with her to the Gin Blossoms concert on August 16th...talk about a blast from the past! Thanks Barb!

Hollywood Bowl

This summer, I've made my way to 3 concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. All 3 have been with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The first was with my ward and the young women I work with; the second was with a group of friends; and, the third was with two of the young women who are cellists--we went to see Yo-Yo Ma. He was AMAZING!

Fourth of July in Modesto

I already posted photos of the place from my trip home over the 4th of July, but I also got to meet Kate on this trip and to play with Jack and Aiden. It was a lot of fun and hard to drive home at the end of the trip!

Jack and Aiden love to "work" with Papa at the Place. This is Jack showing his skills with the screwdriver.

Jack and Aiden cooling off in the hoses. Jack figured out that it was more fun to put the hose on Aiden long before this activity was done. Aiden wasn't quite there yet.

Aiden grabbed a little alone time with the trains...a rare thing when Jack's around.

Here's Aiden showing his construction skills, too.

Girl's Camp

So, I'm a little behind on blogging this summer, but I just uploaded all of the photos off of camera, so I thought a little catch-up might be in order. In June, our girls went to girl's camp. This year, they went to a state beach in Malibu to camp. I went up for the final campfire and tin-foil dinners on Friday night. Yum! All of the girls pictures in the photos below are in the Young Women's organization I work in at Church on Sunday and every Wednesday night.

Making the tin foil dinners with Kristen Anderson (Camp Director) and Melissa Marquis (Stake Young Women's President).
The cooks for the evening...President Vargas and Bishop Lee.

The delicious dinners cooking in the fire.
Adreana Lee and Serina Shin loved the dinners!

Food...Glorious Food

So, I've had food on the mind a lot this week--probably because I've started back on Weight Watchers and am determined to take off some of these stress-induced/work-related pounds. I'm trying to get creative with my use of vegetables because that's one of the only ways to increase what I can eat--vegetables are free in points and they are good for you.

One of my favorite dinners (although, it's so many vegetables that I can only eat it once or twice a week) is this one...it's sliced vegetables...one potato, a couple of zucchini, a bell pepper, and a purple onion with a little bit of olive oil, salt, garlic, and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees until you think it's done. Mmmmm.....


I'm also excited about this new recipe for bread and butter pickles. We canned them last night at Young Women's. I'm not a bread and butter pickle fan, but with the bell peppers and onions, these are crunchy and quite tasty!

The Place

The front of the house as you are driving up to it. The brick is looking great!

The house is all wrapped and wired--ready for the stucco.

The mantle and fireplace.

The entertainment cabinet.

The kitchen...partially tiled with ALL of the cabinets and island.

The dining room...part of the hardwood is down.

These are for Eric and Sheree who aren't able to be with us for 4th of July weekend here in Modesto. "The Place" is starting to look like a house and like at some point Mom and Dad might be able to move in. Looks like we'll actually have enough space for everyone at Christmas this year. ;)
