Months in Review

So, I realize it's been a long long time since I've updated our blog. Things have been crazy busy and I have been a slacker with taking pictures. So I'll just breifly update the last couple of months for you.

May:
The end of May I had the chance to be one of the lucky ones who got to go to Taylor Swift's Fearless concert! My wonderful husband gave me a ticket for Mother's Day and I was so excited!



I went with Sami, Natasha, Hollie, Nicholas, and his frined! We had so much fun! All I have to say is WOW!! Taylor sure does know how to put on a good concert. She was very intertaining with all her different costumes, dancers, and props! She had a ton of audiance interaction by going into the audiance and singing, giving hugs and hand shakes! She shared a lot of things to make you think about your life, the things your going through and that your not going through them alone, how important it is to be fearless and to knock the walls down that are holding you back from the things you want to get to in your life and not let the walls of things going on in the world hold you back! She is an amazing person who a lot of people look up to and I now can see why they do. I only hope she stays her cute fun self and doesn't turn crazy like most teen hits!! Thanks for a gread night Girls and again, for the ticket babe!!







June:
The beginning of June Nate and I went with my family to Cedar City for the weekend. Lexi's gymnastics team competed in the Utah Summer Games down there. While we were there we went swimming quite a bit, went to an outlet mall in St. George, ate at In-N-Out, played games and went to the meet. We didn't do a whole lot but it was nice to get away for a little bit and hang out with family.

We also celebrated Father's Day with the Wonderful men in our lives and did a lot of yard work.

July:
More yard work

the 14- the grass was delivered!!

the 15- the curbing guy came and did our curbing and quite a few awesome men came over and helped us lay our sod!!!!



Celebrated the 4th and 24th with our families. On the 4th Nate and I went to his Grandparents with their entire family and had lunch and a little water fight then that night Nate and I and his family all went over to my families and had dinner and did fireworks.

the 24th- the other side of Nate's family has a breakfast up in the canyons complete with pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, baccon, sausage and juice! It was so yummy. I also was introduced to a super fun game called MasterMind!! Then that night after doing some finishing touches on our yard we went to dinner with his family and went and saw The Proposal.

On the morning of the 25th, before starting on the sprinkler adventure with my dad we went to our neighbors and had a dutch oven breakfast burrito breakfast! It was delicious!!!

On Sunday the 26th we had both of our families and all of our grandparents over for dinner in celebration of completing our yard!! It was nice to get together with everyone and not have to worry about the yard.

August:
The first of August we Celebrated my dad's Birthday by going to Leatherbys, our families favorite place! Then we had his birthday dinner, cake and ice cream on Sunday.

This summer has also been full of many weddings. We had one in May and two in June. We were able to go to all three sealings and what a neat expereince they all were! I love being in the temple with my family and friends. All the weddings were beautiful and we are so happy for the new couples and wish them all the happiness in the world!
