Sweet Summertime

Colton and I had the best weekend! 

We started out Thursday night by making our favorite macaroons, 

some delicious pizza and watching the Psych season finale.

Friday
We cooked a stir fry dinner and went shopping for new shirts for Colton.
Next, we discovered our new favorite ice cream cones and fresh squeezed lemonade.

Saturday

We were both off work which was a special occasion!

We woke up and went to the gym together.

After, we made the BEST pancakes.

{I found the recipe on my friend Emi's blog -- See below}

Next, we hopped on our bikes and rode to the park
I haven't been on a bike in YEARS.
Colton was laughing at how excited I was!
At the park we laid on a blanket in the soft grass and read our books together.



We had lunch and went back for ice cream cones again, of course!!

Then we went to the Salt Lake Temple.
It was such a great reminder of our marriage there just 5 months ago...

We even ran into one of my relatives there! Such a great day.
To top off the night we went to dinner at Mandarin Garden with
Colton's family because his grandparents
 were in town for Sarah's high school graduation.

Sunday
Church was incredible like always!
Colton and I love the Kenwood 1st ward.
We spent the afternoon in our beautiful backyard
relaxing in the sun and reading our books.

Then we went over to the Mathesons for
Colton's grandma's 80th birthday party!
Milicent Matheson is one of the sweetest ladies on this earth.
We loved celebrating this special day with her!

Colton's mom is incredible.
She cooks the best meals and always makes
everything look so cute and coordinated!

Birthday cakes!

The amazing flour-less chocolate cake made by Colton's Aunt Jan

Lemonade Cake - our favorite!
It was so dense and the perfect amount of sweetness
