HARRY POTTER

One of the HUGE highlights of this summer was the final Harry Potter movie.  It was a bittersweet night for us.  Haylie, Michelle and I pretty much spent the whole week before getting our shirts made and toes done to be ready for the movie.  Mel flew in from New Mexico just for this.  We had been planning this night for quite some time.  I am so glad so have such fun friends to do these things with.

Must say Haylie and I were pretty proud of this.  Haylie did an awesome design job.  We came up with this saying sitting waiting for part 1 to begin.  It is creepy and no one really knows what it means...but that is what we love about it.

Haylie was awesome and designed all these shirts for us.  Michelle and I did the hard work of ironing them on...at least some of them.  We had so much fun coming up with the saying and thinking we were hilarious!

Us with our dark mark tattoos.  Didn't really work like we hoped but at least we got a picture of them

My awesome toes in the colors of gryffindor house thanks to Lynsey

The awesome house elf costumes.  I was very impressed with this group

Group of death eaters walking around with Dumbledores head on a stick...I thought it was hilarious

This cracked me up...its Moaning Myrtle



Summer Fun Continued...

Next up in my summer was youth conference and girls camp.  I am the laurel advisor in my ward and love my calling.  I have the best girls and I serve with such amazing women.  We have so much fun.

Here are some of my beautiful girls

Don't they look like they are having fun?

We had a dance party the one night of youth conference and I have to say us leaders put on quite the show.  Some of our girls were a bit obsessed with the cowboys that worked at the camp and so they got permission to have them come to the dance party.  Lets just say this was by far the highlight for these girls...

Kristen and Jen looking AWESOME for our skit...I still am not sure what our skit really was

The girls by the river.  They were crazy and had so much fun tubing

This is the closest we got to a group picture.  We had so much fun!  Love these girls!

Summer Fun

Well since I haven't really kept up at all on posting we will have to break it into a couple posts.  Now where to begin?  Probably the two main highlights were having Mel and the kids here most of June.  Unfortunately Jac could only come for a few days but we tried to make the most of it.  I spent every minute I could just hanging out with them. 

We started out by having a Justin Bieber Party.  Maddie had been wanting to see his Never Say Never movie so I got it on netflix and we had a sleepover at my house. 

Aidan LOVES Justin Bieber!  He was almost as excited as Maddie to watch the movie

Maddie with Justin Bieber

Boston struck a pose.  I love this boy!

And here they all are stocked up with snacks and ready to start the movie.  Jackson refused to get a picture by the poster but he was at least a good sport and watched the movie with us all.  He HATES Bieber as much as Maddie loves him.

We also went to the zoo while they were here.  Roy had never been to the zoo so we drug him along to see what all the hype was about.

We had a lot of fun that day...wish I had more fun pictures

Starting Over

Well everyone we are trying this again.  I am now on my own doing a blog so hopefully I can keep it updated better this time.  I have been working on this way too long tonight so I promise to post again soon with updates and pictures of everything I have been up to.  I promise it will be worth the wait!!

No you are not imagining things...

No your eyes are not playing tricks on you...we have actually started to update our blog. I can't believe we haven't been sharing our great adventures with you all year! I will get see what I can do to catch you up on what our lives have been the last little while...stay tuned and i promise there will be some fun things to see.

Spoiled by Grandpa

So I have to tell a little story about Mya before i explain this picture. My dad told me if I wanted a dog I better find another place to live. I don't listen very well and one weekend while he was working in Vernal we bought Mya. We had a plan all set up that by the time my dad got home we would have her enrolled in obedience school and she would be such a good puppy. So we went and got her and dropped her off at our house for my mom to babysit while we went and got some food and stuff. About 5 minutes later my mom called us freaking out because my dad came home early. We freaked out for a minute and then decided we might as well face him. He was in his office and I walked in holding my cute little puppy. I just said, "Dad don't hate me." He yelled a few choice words at me and then went to his room and slammed the door. After about 10 or 15 minutes he came out. He was still angry but he just couldn't resist her! He asked what her stupid name was and sat next to her and that is all it took! She has had him wrapped around her paw ever since. We have had her for about 2 years now. She really is a good dog. In the summer she pretty much lives with him on the mountain. He loves to buy her treats and toys everytime he goes to the store. This is his latest "treat" he found.

I just had to laugh when she came running down the stairs in this. My dad is such a dork!

Bowling

Justin and Lori came into town this weekend so we all decided to go bowling. It was a lot of fun!

Maddie and Me...I had to do self portraits of almost all of us...

Aidan and Lou. They are so much fun when they get together

Jackson was so excited to be bowling with his cousins...he just couldn't contain it!

As was Tanner...though his is a little more contained.

This is Aidan showing me his muscles...he was also posing in front of the mirrors in the bathroom. He is so funny!

And here is Aidan again on the motorcyle game. We practically had to pry him off this one.

Here is another self portrait...Me and Lou

And another...Me and Hannah

It was a fun day just chillin with the homies...
