Wedding Food Sampling

We were invited to a VIP sampling at Castle Event Catering. Jaime and I went thinking we'd have little bites served but boy was I wrong. It was a full course meal!
We first stopped at the bar for cocktails and then were escorted to our table set for us with our name card on the table. Everything was set up so beautifully. It made me excited to see everything set up for Olivia's reception since it'll be at the same venue. 
The waiters walked around to tables and served bite sized appetizers. 

Then we were able to go walk up to the salad bar to try four different salads All so yummy. 

Look how cute this set up is!

After salads we walked downstairs to try the menu of sides and entrees. I didn't take pictures of everything but on this plate is the barria taco with consommé, barria ramen, and barria baos. Yum! It was so good. I was so glad we could try the barria since that is one of the meats we will be serving at the wedding dinner.  I loved the barria bao with the jalapeño lime aioli. I wanted to take a plate of those home!

Look how good they are!
They had lots of yummy meats to try. The smoked meat was so good. I also loved their display of roasted vegetables. Each vegetable of zucchini, carrots, mushrooms and more was presented so beautifully and tasted delicious. 

The venue set up for the wedding. Our event coordinator has been great. She's been very good to work with. After this luncheon I'm excited for Olivia's reception.

Time in Arizona

Image
Night swims!  Laying out in the sun during the day!  I like coming to Arizona because the evenings it's still warm outside that we can be out playing and having a good time but not sweltering hot. The days are so hot but it's great to be out poolside and then dip in the pool to cool off.  Koda has picked his person between Marty and Diana. He likes to follow Diana when I'm not around. It's cute that she likes him too.  June 26th  Keeping up with our goal of going to the temple to do baptisms every month this year! Tyler has wanted to go to the Mesa temple since we came to the Easter Pageant. We made it happen this month. It was great that Christy dropped off Makaela so she could join us.  Every time we go someone comments on our boys. They're such good kids.  Handsome boys.  After the temple we went to spend the day at Darin and Christy's. Christy provided a yummy lunch and we enjoyed catching up with her and the girls. And spending time with thei...

Happy Father's Day Jaime

Image
Breakfast for Jaime. Banana pancakes, bacon, hash browns and OJ.  Aidan and Tyler wanted to make cookies with Jaime for Father's Day. I thought it was such a sweet gesture. Olivia was a bit bummed she couldn't be here for it as she feels it's been a thing for her and Jaime to make chocolate chip cookies together. I told her she's here in spirit. The kids all called Jaime to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We need to enjoy these last few years of having kids home for these smaller holidays. Before I know it we won't have any of them here for them.  P.S. Can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jaime with the boys!

Promptings

 I went to the temple today to do an endowment session with my Aunt Laurel who is visiting and staying at my parents for a few days. Mom and Dad were leading the session so it was fun for all four of us to be in there. It was a very full session of women. There were 31 women and 8 men! 39 of the 40 seats were full. I've been in sessions and lead sessions that had 42-46 people (folding chairs were brought in to accommodate after 40). But never have had this many sisters.  I used to have such anxiety going to the temple. So nervous about remembering what I was supposed to do and say. Being a temple worker definitely has helped ease that now that I know what to do and say more easily. It makes it so that I can focus on the words more and not stress about what's next. After I crossed into the Celestial room I had the overwhelming feeling of how happy I felt. The thought came to my mind, "Being prepared makes such a difference." I thought yes it does! I felt better prepare...
