Happy Birthday Dad + Silver Fork Lodge

Saturday night, the family met at Silver Fork Lodge up Big Cottonwood Canyon to celebrate my Dad's birthday.  The night included incredible food, the beginning of a great birthday celebration, and breathtaking scenery. 
Love the feel of this little restaurant.
School starts this week, which means the twinners are headed back down to BYU.  It's so much fun having them around for family dinners and adventures.   I can't believe how fast summer has flown by!

In love with my new Frye's.  Can't wait to wear them all day every day this fall.  So excited!
When we all go out for a meal together we usually order lots of appetizers.  I love it! It's such a fun way to get a feel for the restaurant, and I love tasting lots of different foods.
Canyon Pepper Steak, fresh vegetables and steak fries.  This is TT's meal, however I think a few other people ordered it as well.  Delicious.
Blackened Salmon with Special Sauce (read: I don't remember what it was), mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.  This was my meal.  I love salmon, and this didn't disappoint.
Berry Crisp Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream.  This is one of the many desserts we tried and was my favorite.  The table favorite was the chocolate lava cake, which I unfortunately do not have a photo of. 

Why to dine at Silver Fork: Beautiful drive up the canyon (even though I fell asleep).  If you eat on the patio you have an incredible view of the mountains and canyon.  The food is delicious, and the menu offers something for everyone.  It is a little bit on the pricy side, but because of the location, atmosphere, and time you'll spend dining at the lodge, I think it's worth it (then again, I didn't pay for the meal).

Happy Birthday Dad!!  You are the best!
Here's a super quick video from last night's dinner...

TT's 23rd



What I'm Wearing: Oversized Shirt-Splendid, Boyfriend Jeans-Banana Republic, Shoes-Old Navy
My birthday man.
TT and I hosted our first family get-together at our place since we've been married (almost 11 months!).  We celebrated his 23rd birthday. Happy Birthday!!  Because the weather has been so nice later in the day, we made it a patio affair, and hung around outside.  It was so fun to have our families over for dessert and to celebrate TT's birthday.
TT's birthday request - confetti cake mix with confetti frosting.  Let's be honest, we all love it.
I love cherries.
We love her.
Opening up his new Garmin GPS from his mom and dad. So cool.
My mom helped me with all the last minute details
Potted plants everywhere.
We had the cake and cupcakes with homemade ice cream.  TT's mom made this blueberry which was unbelievable, and my mom made a cashew banana sherbet.  Sooo good.
Hangin' Out.
EVC and Britty.
We love all of our nieces.  

We celebrated the day playing  football (TT), running errands (me), having family over, and going to a movie with my brothers.  We may have saw both Grown Ups and Knight and Day this weekend.  I love the movies.  Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Memorial Day BBQ

What I'm Wearing: Shirt-Wrangler, Jacket-Lole', Shorts-Gap, Shoes-Sperry

How did you celebrate Memorial Day?  TT and I got up early with the twinners, and his brothers to go fishing.  We didn't catch much (I didn't catch any), but it was a lot of fun.  TT and I spent the weekend with Crew and my family up in Midway relaxing, eating, playing pool, and walking.  Much needed.  Later on, we went Memorial Day shopping (which was unsuccessful), and headed to the BBQ/my Grandma's birthday celebration.  
My Mom made this amazing homemade banana cake with incredible frosting and banana layers.
