Utah Trip...Read's Wedding

This last weekend we went to Utah, it was a short trip but a good one. We went for a friends wedding. Read is Dusty's oldest friend. They became friends when Dusty moved to American Fork from Sandy when he was in 9th grade. Dusty's family moved into the same ward as Read's family. 15 years later here we are.

I met Read about 2 days after I met Dusty, and the three of us were together a lot... Dusty lived with Read for a while after they graduated from high school I am glad that it was just for a while.
Read has been threw a lot and I can finally say that I am proud of him. I will always love him and have a place for him in my heart.

They had President Welch marry them he married me and Dusty at the time he was Bishop Welch, he is a great guy.

His best man was his dog, he wore a tux and all. He followed them down the isle it was really cute

The best man in his tux.

The Cake on top was Mickey and Minnie...Read is obsessed with Minnie Mouse, so that was perfect for them.

Read and Misty...Misty is Dusty's sister
Evidence of who decorated the wedding car....
Oh the ranger "some how" got a flat tire, wonder how that happened.
Brett looked so good after Christine dressed him...in Fred's green Crock's and all.
Aww my Reese her eye's just keep getting bluer and bluer every time I see her if my camera was nicer you could tell.

We had a great trip super short but we will get up there again soon I hope. Thanks to everyone who got together with us while we were there it means a lot to us. We love you all!

La Piazza Al Forno....

Again with the Food....

This failed to make the 50's Best dishes but was visited by DINERS,DRIVE-INS and DIVES hosted by Guy Fieri on one of our favorite shows. It was on an episode on Sunday and so Dusty knew exactly where he wanted to head on his day off.

Sorry for the half eaten food..... I forgot to take a picture when it first got to the table because I was so hungry to eat it. The Pizza we got was The Margherita it has tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil and basil....Yummy

Oh and this little dish is what they call the Chicken Pesto Lasagna it is a family recipe combining chicken and a pesto cream sauce with traditional lasagna and mozzarella baked to perfection.

This little man greats you at the door...he was cute.

I told Dusty that my fridge is filling up with to much take out he needs to start cooking again. He has had a long week and hasn't been up for cooking so hopefully soon he will start again.

Luckily my clothes are still somehow fitting me threw this. Wish me luck that they will continue to do so and that no buttons fly across the room.

Best Sandwich "PANE BIANCO"

Pretty sure all we do is eat anymore....
Yes we hit another 50's Best Dishes... This is the same Bianco from Pizzeria Bianco....oh and it was just as good. They have the weirdest hours 11-3 Tuesday thru Saturday and it is located on Central and Camelback so if you are ever in the area I recommend eating there.

The seating is just as odd as Pizzeria Bianco...not much, not much at all. It is all outside and in the heat of the day it was nice to have some misters. It is all picnic style tables, real cute.
Talk about “from scratch.” The focaccia dough for the sandwiches is made fresh every morning and cooked in a wood-fired oven every five minutes. The mozzarella is house-made, and the basil and tomato are locally grown. And yes, this is the same Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco fame, so would you expect any less?

The BEST Lamb Kebab Plate

Well on Friday we were off to get another 50's Best Dishes. This time we headed to Chandler to Spices Mediterranean Kitchen for the best lamb kebab plate.

Doesn't it look delish? Yeah well we wouldn't know...they ran out. I thought Dusty was going to have a breakdown. He was so excited and we drove clear over there for NOTHING! But we ordered some other food and it was so good.

Dusty ended up getting the lamb plate with humus and cucumber salad

I went for something a little less healthy and got the gyro and fries....SO GOOD and I can't forget the ketchup and mayonnaise to make FRY SAUCE


I guess this means that we will have to venture out to Spices Mediterranean Kitchen another day. It was really good :)

BUNKO night

Last Friday we had BUNKO night FINALLY! We use to get together at least once a month with a group of girls and play but over the past few years...I guess we all got busy and stopped. This was the first and hopefully there will be more to come.

Oh yeah did I mention the fact that I won all the MINI BUNKO's...OH WELL I DID! I might have sucked at every other category but I did dominate the MINI's!

Me and Kimbo
I forgot my camera so had to get some pics with my cell phone...they are a little fuzzy.

Angie and Jeannie with the BUNKO BOA

Me and Jeannie...she forgot to look at the camera!

Kim had a bunch of ideas to try and get BUNKO...see if you rub the dice together and then blow on them...you will for sure get BUNKO

Stephany from MK...she is so cute.

Ok this guy, with the arrows pointing him out was a CREEPER. He just sat on the beach and stared at all these girls he even had the nerve to ask one of them to put sunscreen on his body...EWW! We took some pictures of him in case he appears on DATELINE..you know the predator ones.

Robyn and Rob's Wedding July 18, 2009

Over the last weekend we went to Santa Barbara to see our good friends Robyn and Rob get married! We know these two from my work they were both students and now they are both Dentists. They are so down to earth and their relationship is so much like mine and Dusty's that we all just blend together. Their wedding was gorgeous, I had so many great pictures but after their wedding I missed placed my camera along with all of my pictures. I feel really lost right now without my camera, it is pretty much always attached to me. I had to borrow some pictures from some friends, but at least it shows how pretty the wedding was.

The Bride and Groom...Robyn and Rob
