Mmmmm...Fruit Pizza

At a recent visit to our local Costco store, we stocked up on lots of fruit. We looked at the heap of wonderful juicy goodness and thought, "Hey, we should make a fruit pizza with all that juicy goodness!" And make a fruit pizza we did. Before we devoured it, we decided we must share our spectacular dessert with the world... digitally, of course! Enjoy!

Dave and Mindy

We thought of you while on our last Sunday drive. ;)

Caleb turns 6!

We had a fabulous weekend for Caleb's celebration! I am pretty sure that he had a good time. After our rodeo fun we headed down to Scofield for the traditional fireworks off the island and playing in the lake. Caleb says his highlight of the weekend was being able to climb on the climbing wall in the park at Scofield. I think he enjoyed that most because he felt so brave at going so high up, he really accomplished something and felt so good about himself.

On the day of Caleb's birthday we had a lot going on. We went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house in the morning. Caleb said he wanted to do that for his birthday and who could deny him that? It was very neat to go together and Caleb was really excited to go. After we left the temple Caleb commented on how good he felt inside, he is such a good boy. In the afternoon Caleb had several of his friends over for a swimming party. I think the kids had the most fun when we pulled out the inflatable swords and they started playing Star Wars. After the party Granny and Grandpa Gray came over for German Pancakes and they gave him his presents and then after it was dark we did a special fireworks show just for Caleb to end his birthday the right way. It was Caleb's Golden Birthday (which means his birthday is the 6th and he turned 6 this year) so I wanted to make it super special for him. So, with only a few hours left I asked him if he wanted to do anything else before his birthday was done and he could not come with anything. Good sign. The only thing he wanted to do that I said no to was playing with his model magic present. That stuff takes more time than we had. :)

Caleb has grown so much this past year. Besides playing baseball, soccer, learning how to pump himself on the swing, holding still for a haircut (much to Rob's delight) and starting Kindergarten; he learned how to read, spell, write really well and become a better big brother. There is so much Caleb has done this past year and we are so proud of him. We love you, Caleb!

IKEA! (Our Last Day in Pittsburgh)

No trip to Pittsburgh would be complete without a stop into IKEA. And we both really wanted to try the breakfast they had (we're already big fans of the other food). So we checked out of the good ol' Red Roof Inn, and drove around the corner to the Blue and Yellow store of happiness. Here's a picture of Mindy sitting down to breakfast (if you must know, I'm the one carrying the camera most of the time, so Mindy has to put up with me always taking pictures of her. Thanks babe for putting up with me!):

We picked up a couple of dressers for our spare bedroom. We also picked up a few other odds and ends (how can you not when visiting IKEA?). We loaded up the car and then went back in for lunch! We really love one of the desserts they have. Here's a pic of our car loaded up and ready to go (you can't really tell from the photo, but Mindy put her luggage under the top box to make sure it didn't "tibble." I've never heard of the word, but I'm sure she was thinking of three words like topple, tip, and wobble and just combined them into one concise word, "tibble," which I'm thinking of submitting to Merriam-Webster):
