First Temple Trip

 The big event this week was Westin's first temple trip!

We went on Saturday with Quinn's family, and their friends Levi and Wendy also came, plus some supportive leaders and bishopric members. I just loved being in the temple with Westin's amazing support crew and it was special to be there for his first baptism experience.

We hiked on Saturday at Lory State Park, which we for some reason have done every winter but never in the summer :) It's just a good little winter hike I guess. 

Friday night we had the Beattys, Behunins, and Baileys over for greek food and the Indiana game, and I made Pastel de Nata for the first time. It turned out pretty darn close to what we ate in Portugal! I did puzzles with the young women while the football game was on and I just felt content. I guess I've grown to love football but it's for different reasons than Westin -- I just love when we get together with friends way more during that season and have fun together. Also we are just loving this Indiana run SO much. Championship here we come!

Filling in that new blank wall!
Hanging this mirror was so tricky because our vanity mirrors are built into the wall on the other side.
I drilled into the wall for 2 seconds to hang this mirror before remembering that and I just shudder to think about drilling through the mirror on the other side...would've been such a pain.
So I waited for Michael to get home and we hung this together, luckily it was juuuust big enough to mount on either side of the mirror on the other side if I scooted it over just an inch from where I was.

These don't look like much, 
but we made Pastel de Nata! 
A Portuguese dessert that we ate every day last April.
I wanted to make them before Emma Bailey left on her mission. 
The Baileys, Beattys, and Behunins came to watch the Indiana game this weekend so we sent them home with some for Emma.

Luckily these cute Young Women came over during the football game too,
so we had some puzzle time! They finished a 500-piece and made some good progress on a 1,000.

Westin's first temple trip on Saturday!
So happy he gets to do all these milestones with his bestie, Quinn.

We loved being there with him that day.
He had a few other friends come as well, 
and it was just a good crew to be with in the best place we could be.

Sweet of our bishop to come support them that day.

Hiking in Lory State Park.
Michael really wanted to see a mountain lion.
There have been lots of sightings reported here lately,
but, our crew is just too loud to ever have such luck :)

1,000 puzzle pieces of donuts! This was fun to finish.
