Night Out With the Girls

Holly decided to get some tickets to Little Women at the Ellen Eccles Theater for Friday night, and I was lucky enough to tag along with her and Rachel. The play was simply fabulous, even if it couldn't cover the whole story (it is way too long). Best of all, I was able to cry and not feel stupid about it. Rachel made sure to tell Holly and I that she didn't cry at all. As for me, my mascara was completely gone by the time the play was over, so I'm sure I looked lovely. The performance was really good, which has motivated me to read the book now. Thanks to Holly and Rachel for letting me come along to the play with them.

a new do

Well, I did it. On Monday, I went to my cousin, Traci, and had her chop my hair all off. I was a bit worried about getting my hair so short and even more concerned about having bangs (considering the last time I had bangs, they were like flowers protruding from my forehead). When Courtney first saw it, he said I looked like someone who could vote for Obama. I'm not too sure about that, but it's a bit fun for a change.

roomies

I just wanted to share with everyone pictures of my crazy roommate. She's a gem!

Fly Fishing with the Muirs

This Labor Day weekend, Jenn and Brandon took Courtney and I fly fishing up the Logan River. The water was freezing, so I didn't really get in. Brandon caught 2 fish and Courtney put forth a good effort. Jenn and I mostly gave moral support to Court and Brandon. Afterwards we went to Cafe Sabor and enjoyed a delicious meal. Thanks for taking us fly fishing with you, Jenn and Brandon!

Crazy Days of Summer

Since college has started, I have been reminiscing about the crazy summer I had. It was so much fun, and now I'm back in the swing of things at Utah State. These are the last few pictures of summer with the family that I look at and wish they could have lasted a bit longer.Hannah enjoyed her birthday at High Creek.
While we were there, we went exploring and found some great walking sticks. They were a good idea until Trevor started to hit people with his small walking stick. They were promptly put into the camp fire after that.
Dad has a really good looking straw hat that makes him look like Kenny Chesney. What do you think?
Emma and Aspen came and stayed with us for a while. Those girls are so cute and were fun to have around.
Mom always seems to have fresh supply of ice cream bars to eat on Sunday. The kids would play in the backyard and after we had ice cream. What a wonderful way to spend a summer Sunday evening.


Courtney likes to go out with the kids and play with them in the backyard. This is of Courtney stealing kisses from Emma in the swing. I wish I had a video of it, because it was so cute.
The new swing set has been a hit. It accommodates a lot more children and I can even swing on it now. This summer was filled with loads of fun out in the backyard.
