B-Day and Labor Day

Well here I am....23! Ha! Don't really feel any different, but now I just get to say that I'm 23! I had a great birthday. I didn't really do anything on my birthday, but the holiday weekend after was great. My co-workers did throw me a little party making me some creamy broccoli soup and a birthday cake. Then Friday I hung out with some of my girlfriends and we went out to dinner and shopping. Saturday I headed up the canyon to meet my parents and my aunt and uncle and their family for some good camping! :) It was a bit windy up there, but it sure was pretty! My Dad, my cousin Andrew, and I hiked up a big hill to a rock formation that looked cool from the campsite..not so cool up close...

It's blurry cause my camera is zoomed in on it, but the little rock looked like a whole so we climbed up...

The view from up top!

So I guess you can't really tell how high we were with my camera zoomed in and all (it has a REALLY GOOD zoom!!). But it was a good workout for the three of us! Andrew just went up and down no problem..me and Dad on the other hand were pooped when we got back down! :) And of course we went out on the lake and did some fishing.

Dad had out like 5 poles at a time so it got kind of crazy at times, but it was fun!

My tiny little fishy that i caught...i thought i would give it a kiss to welcome it into the boat. Don't worry, I'm not squeezing it that hard...it just would stop moving long enough for me to kiss it. ;) It sure did taste good though...the meat not the kiss..GROSS! And yes it was very cold out there..I had a few layers on!

The 3 rascals! Andrew, Jacob, and Trenton...my cousins that came with us! They loved the boat and knowing what everything was and fishing. They were hilarious! I had lots of fun with them!

WE MADE IT! I was getting a photo shoot while the boys were cleaning the fish...little did i know that soon after this picture, when we got back to the trailers and started packing everything up..I found out my car wouldn't start. So we had to jump it quite a few times for it to start going again. Then down the road my car decided to stop working and turn off completely! So I had to think fast and coast to a stop at the side of the road without getting in the way of the traffic behind me. When the trucks pulling the trailers and boat, caught up with me they jumped me again. They had to jump my car about 4 or 5 times to get it home all the way back to Alpine. To make a long story short...after a new battery and an alternator my car is mostly back to normal! :) Thanks Dad and Kris for taking care of me!! What a weekend!

School....

So here I am at work completely bored, wondering what I should do and can't stop thinking about what tomorrow brings me. I START SCHOOL!! I haven't been to school in about 4 years! It's so weird! I'm quite excited, but it's going to be crazy! I am still going to be working full time, so I just have to hustle down to Orem to be to my class by 6....work ends at 5:30! :/ So I'm just going to hope that they will let me go early so I can make it on time. My classes are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's. I actually think I might be having to go on Thursday's too...don't really know quite yet. I won't mind that, it's just more crazy. So it would be that I have Math on Mon and Wed and English on Tue and Thur. I hope it will all go well and I can get back in the mode of doing school again. So wish me luck!

Also, I was looking through all my post last year, and realized that I never put something up. I remember putting it up on Facebook, but I will tell you all again because I never stop being proud of myself. Some of you might think it's tedious or dumb, but I love knowing that I can accomplish this......

THAT'S RIGHT!!! I have mastered the Rubiks Cube! I have always always wanted to be able to solve it and know what I'm doing! I have one here in my desk, and I pull it out and do it every so often. It's quite entertaining to me. I just though I would share that with you all!

FALL IS ALMOST HERE! YAY!!!!!

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!!
