Tim McGraw & Lady Antebellum

So to finish off my eventful July, I attended the Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum concert! Oh my goodness it was so so so much fun! I went with a girl I work with, Shelly and her sister Brooke. Tim and Lady A were amazing! I loved them both! This will be my second concert and counting! It was very eventful! haha One big thing i like to do when i go to places with lots of people is people watch. And when you go to a concert that is the best place to do that!! Because there are a lot of drunk people every where!! It was hilarious! There were two guys dancing there hearts out in the isle...doubt they will remember what they did! We saw a guy who couldn't choose what girl he wanted to be with...weird! Of course you always have to have those fight...so we saw a few punches and those good samaritans trying to stop it, but got in the fight as well. We saw a girl who couldn't even stand up by herself, so she just fell to the ground and puked...gross! We saw a dad who had to be led to the car by the wife and daughter(now that one was just sad...I'm glad i never have to do that with my dad!) I think that was pretty much it! It was very entertaining! I loved every bit of it! And hopefully will go again when Lady A comes this fall! Here are some pics from the night!

Tim McGraw doing his thing! :)

Lady Antebellum...MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!

Shelly and I trying not to sweat to death! Man was it HOT!!

The three of us having so much fun at the concert!!!

So that was my July! Here we come August....which means SCHOOL! I've had a great summer and I bet it will keep being tons of fun till school starts! But that will be fun too! ;)

Pioneer Day

I absolutely love having two holidays in July! It is so much fun and we get twice as many fireworks! Especially this year, with a three day holiday for the 4th, and yesterday the 24th. It was a lot of fun, and I got to go to my Grandma's for her usual breakfast and water party! ;)

In the backyard starting of breakfast!

It started off that all the little kids were against Brandon and I. But they kept running away and making their "base" in the front of the house. So we got a bit bored just going after them, and decided to turn on each other. It was a lot of fun! Our goal was to keep everyone wet, and not dry, but we had to make a few exceptions with our Aunts and our Grandma (she stayed out of the game due to recent incidences. Love ya Gram!) But all in all i would have to say it was a success!!

And then there is Ping Pong.............

We get pretty serious when we play! Dad had fun taking pictures of us! It was a whole lot of fun, and I didn't want it to stop! Thanks to my family for an awesome weekend!

Starting off the holiday....

So starting off the holiday, Courtney, Kirsten, and I went on a little hike to a pretty little waterfall. We had tons of fun!!! It was a short hike, only .5 miles. We went up to Payson and it was called Grotto Falls. If you ever get a chance, its very pretty in there!!

This is the waterfall that we hiked to. So pretty!!!

The creek/river we had to cross a couple of times to get to the waterfall.

My crazy Cousins!

We had a little to much fun! :)

More to come for the Pioneer Holiday! Hope everyone stays cool and enjoys the weekend!!

The weekends...

So far my weekends in July have been pretty exciting! The first weekend I was able to go to the Stadium of Fire with my cousin Kirsten.

Carrie Underwood sang, and there was also the Osmond brothers(second generation), the 5 Browns, and two more, but i can't remember their name. But they were all so good, and I loved every minute of it!!! The fire works were amazing as well!! Of course they would be! It was a good 4th of July for me!

Just this last weekend, I went on a trip down to Las Vegas with some of my friends! It was so much fun! There were 6 of us, 4 girls and 2 guys, all in one van! We had lots of fun! Us girls stayed in the Las Vegas Hilton, and the boys stayed in the Best Western! haha

We did most of our walking up and down the strip at night, even though the temperature is the same all day long, it's cooler to go at night instead of having the sun beat down on us. So we saw the "Pirate Show", if you want to call it that. It's no longer a family show, just a bunch of girls dancing for the pirates, wearing a whole lot of nothin!! That was actually really cheesy, but it was fun for me to watch all the people around us! I'm a big people watcher, and Vegas is one fun place to watch people! Because most of them are high or drunk! haha

Anyway, so we also saw Phantom of The Opera! I thought it was really good. The sets and everything were well put together, the only thing I wish was different was to have a different guy play the Phantom. He was way to nasally!! At first i thought it was the mask, but then he took it off and still sang the same way.

(This is where we saw The Phantom of the Opera)

The rest of the time, we hung out at our hotel, at the pool, or just checking the sights on the strip like Caesars Palace, The Cheesecake Factory, The M&M store, The Billagio, The MGM Grand...you know just the cool stuff! haha All of it was a lot of fun! I'm so glad i was able to get away from work and have somewhat of a social life back!

Finally....

Finally something to blog about! My brother, Brandon, kept getting after me about not updating my blog more, blah blah blah, but i just don't really put anything up unless there is really something to say or post about. haha So here i am, summer time......and what does summertime bring? RODEO SEASON!!! I LOVE going to rodeos! Even though i lost my rodeo partner, due to a marriage, they did happen to come with me to at least one that we usually go to.

Katie and her new husband, Adam, came with me to the Strawberry Days rodeo! It was a lot of fun. Even though i forgot to take my allergy medicine before i went and was coughing and sneezing the whole time, I really enjoyed myself. It was Adam's first time to a rodeo, so we got to share our knowledge of all the rodeos we have been to! ;) My favorite event is the bull riding, and i think it will always be.

They had a presentation i guess you could call it during the night. I don't know if you have heard of her, but it was called Amanda Payne with The One Arm Bandit and Co. She did a little show for us, with her and her horse, and two buffalo. It was pretty cool.

I don't know if you can see it very well, but she is standing on top of the horse on top of the trailer.

And she got the two buffalo to go up on top of the trailer, and she eventually went up there to, but i wasn't fast enough to get a picture. It was pretty cool.

Then Saturday, me and my cousin Kirsten went to Lagoon and spent the day there! We had a lot of fun, and hope to go again this summer, to go on some rides we didn't go on. There were so many people there! The line for Wicked was 30 min. The line for Rattlesnake Rapids was an hour long. Can't really blame the people though, it was one hot day. It's kind of lame how you wait in line for so long, and the ride, is only last seconds. :( Not very well put together! haha But we had fun none the less!

These two rides are my most favorite rides at Lagoon. The top one is called the Samuri. It takes you up in the air and spins you around all crazy. Each section of seating moves in a different direction flipping you back and forth, upside down and such! SO MUCH FUN! The bottom one is called Wicked! You sit in a tunnel, waiting to be launched out, and then all of a sudden off you go, straight up, then straight down, then does a few twist and turns and such to flip you upside down and all. Love them both, but LONG lines for both as well!
