Lately

It's been a while since I've bloggity blogged so here are a few updates of things we've been up to lately :)



For my brother Steve's birthday we went to Lagoon! (yes, a few months late, it was a post birthday celebration!) It was fun to hang out with my siblings and cousin. I think I must be getting old because the rides were really starting to get to me. I've never felt sick on a ride before but that pirate ship made me feel awful! I remember the days when I could ride all of the rides all day long and never get sick. What is happening?! Have we discovered the fountain of youth yet?! Help! haha...









We went to Red Iguana 2 and ate super yummy food for my best friend's birthday! I ended up getting verde mole chicken enchiladas. The sauce almost tasted Indian, it was a very unique delicious combination.  Plus it didn't burn off my tongue - YAY! Thanks for having a birthday so we could celebrate! :)

Our friend had a "Washed Up Super Heros" birthday party at the Tav on Friday night. I was having a difficult time deciding on a costume. The day of the party I had no ideas. So I asked the girls at work for their help and Whitney came up with a great plan - to be Thor - she decided that we must have the same hair stylist because mine is the same length/color as Thor's… I was not originally planning on making any sort of elaborate costume because I really wasn't feeling it. (Plus Thor who has lost his strength and turned into a girl was funny enough!) I didn't have a cape, and we all know how necessary capes are for super heroes so I went searching through our lovely Farmington stores. I walked into Ross and BAM right there in the front, with all the halloween items, there was a warrior costume for 12 whole dollars. I couldn't resist - I HAD To buy it! It was just too perfect...

Don't you love the PVC Pipe/Duck tape mallet?! hehe.. My cute husband made it for me, and he helped me modify the helmet to look more Thor like. He also helped create the circles. About the circles - they threw some people off. But EVERY Picture of Thor has these round circle things on his chest plate. Seriously, go Google it! I browsed through the images so that's what I did and it was a great conversation piece. Everyone asked what they were for - I don't know!?! It was never mentioned in the movie (that I can remember) but they are there! So please, if you know the purpose of the circles, please share!!

We also went to Antelope Island for a day - Spence and I decided it should be called Buffalo Island because there seem to be more buffalo than antelope. We were out there scoping out the scenery to see if there were good places to take Becca's senior photos. (I still can't believe she's a senior!!)

Schoko dressed up like a cowgirl with her bandana. I'm not sure what is up with her silly ears, but it's cute. What a cute, silly pup!

I was able to go to the UTAH vs BYU game this Saturday. My friend's boyfriend was unable to make it so I got to take his seat. (Super Lucky for Me!) It was a great game! I tried curling my hair with a flat iron for the game and it totally worked. Naturally, I had to document this so, I made Spencer take a picture of it before I left. Didn't it turn out cute?! And didn't he take a great photo!

Here are a couple of pictures from the game! :)

We won! Yay! It was quite a complicated ending. Here is a very brief summary. The game looked like it ended, so the fans rushed the field, but there was one more second left. So, the one second played while the fans were on the sidelines. The fans, again, rushed the field. There was a flag on the play and the refs deemed a 15 yard penalty for the fans running on the field before the end of the play… SO Here's a funny picture showing all of the fans waiting/watching from the sidelines!

We were sitting on the South End Zone so we got to clearly see the BYU field goal attempt bounce off of the right (East) post - confirming our win! 24 - 21 YAY! :) The fans got to rush the field for real this time! hehe…

I'm excited for FALL! It has been a great summer, but I'm ready for it to cool down a bit! I never thought I'd say that - because I love love love summertime. I really must be getting old :) hehe. I'm looking forward to my cute fall decorations, the leaves turning, pumpkin spice goodness, soups, and oh so many other things.
