Grilled Pizza and more

I made some delicious pizzas on the grill tonight for dinner.  I made a white pizza with Alfredo sauce, chicken, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella & seasonings.  I made a pepperoni & olive pizza.  I made a Hawaiian with Canadian bacon and pineapple.  For dessert I made a smore pizza with chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.

Other good meals I've made this week...
Mini meatball subs made out of costco meatballs & rolls.  Just cook the meatballs in a can of spaghetti sauce then top with mozzarella cheese.  Put one meatball and sauce on each dinner roll.
Hamburgers w/grilled onions & mushrooms, I made the hamburger patties with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal seasoning mixed in.  Then topped it off with lettuce & tomato and a mayo and balsamic vinegar sauce.  It was so yummy!

Lunch with Grandma Cope

Grandma Cope took Kailey & I to lunch for her birthday/baptism.  She had been looking forward to it all week!  She took us to In-n-Out, Taylor & Deanna Daniel and Carlie Lane also came.  Kailey had a burger, fries and a shake, she really enjoyed it.
For her birthday Grandma Cope gave Kailey a book on the Holy Ghost, Kailey really liked it and started reading it right away, at the table, then also in the car on the way home.
It was a fun afternoon!

GGI's

Tonight my Mom & Dad came over for dinner and to conduct the first GGI's (granddaughter grandfather interviews) with the girls.  It was a really nice evening!
Kenny conducts DDI's (daddy daughter interviews) with the girls about once a month to see how they are doing in the different areas of their life and talks to them about anything they need to talk about.  About a month ago I was reading in the scriptures where Lehi is counseling his children and their children.  The idea came to me that it would be really neat and special to my girls if they had interviews with their grandfather like they do with their father.  One more person that loves them and wants what's best for them is always a good thing.
We had homemade pizza for dinner, grandpa did the interviews with each girl and we all chatted with grandma.  Then we had apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert.  It was a fun and special evening.

Grandma Cope's 80th Bday

We celebrated Grandma Cope's 80th birthday today at Espee park in Chandler.  It was fun to get everyone together in her honor.  We had fry bread, watermelon & birthday cake.  The kids got to play at the park and in the splash pad.  The weather was really nice as the sun started to go down.

Tennis

Kelsea has picked up tennis so well and is playing great!  She is winning her matches and moving up on the team roster.  I'm proud of her for trying something new and doing her best with it.  She and I were able to play a match together a few days ago, it was so much fun to spend the time together and get to play again.  I really enjoy tennis and am glad we can play together.

General Conference

It was General Conference weekend.  It's so wonderful that we get to listen to our church leaders counsel us on different subjects twice a year at conference.  I really enjoyed the talks and look forward to getting the print version in the Ensign next month.
After the Sunday sessions were over we went to my parents house for bread bowls, soup, salad and fruit pizza.  YUMMY!
