Getting Ready for the Wedding

We were making all necessary preparations for the upcoming wedding in September.  The last thing was to find a bridesmaid dress for me.  The colors were beautiful but I couldn't find anything modest or dressy enough up by where we live, so we planned a day to go south where there were more malls and places to check out.  We made a visit to the temple since we were down in that area.
 The kids touching the temple.
 I love this picture. 
 And as we drove into the mall parking lot and parked, the car blew up.  Seriously, I thought the engine had blown up!  At least we weren't driving when it happened because there was smoke everywhere!  I quickly unloaded the kids and got as far away as possible from the car.  It was a smokin' hot day and apparently a hose had broke spewing some sort of fluid everywhere.  Yeah, that was fun.  We grabbed the stroller and went into the mall.  At least we were at a place with air conditioning, food, and plenty of stores to keep us busy.  We called Greg and thankfully Ryan & Chrystal were in the area visiting the new IKEA so they planned to pick us up a few hours later.  Well, we had come to shop, so shopping we did.  And I found the perfect dress!  With a little jacket, it will be PERFECT! 
 Thankfully I have a very handy husband who is very car savvy and was able to fix the car over the next couple of days.  Now the car is for sale.  :)
Oh and I made rolls...and they looked like rolls!  haha, anyone who knows me knows this is something huge.  I've done this in the past, but I had to take a picture because it doesn't always turn out this way.  Someday I plan on mastering the art of bread every time!  :)
