Making Some Memories....




We had such a fantastic trip to Utah! It was just so great to hang out and see family. One tradition we have is Cole Making Memories. We did so many fun things around Park City and Salt Lake. Since it was pioneer weekend, we hit up the church history museum, went to Brigham Young's grave site, watched 17 Miracles, and did a hike to Ensign Peak. After growing up in Utah all my life, I've never done that hike before! I am glad we did it because the view was awesome and it was nice to participate in some pioneer history. I can say that the weekend and particularly the Miracles show did give me a new appreciation for the pioneers, their sacrifices, and what they went through. It's absolutely amazing! On our reunion, we also fit in some swimming, a Bees game with fireworks after, lots of delicious food, game playing, and visiting. What great memories! Thanks for planning, mom! Another success! Until next year, folks!

I Heart USA

I Heart USA for many reasons, one, my new mode of transportation. Check out these babies! They bring a smile to my face every time they even cross my mind. I've had this obsession with 'blades probably since elementary school. They are so hard core, right? Anyway, my friend graciously bought me these lovelies at a yard sale and I've been in heaven since. I've decided to become a "Sonic Housewife" (at least until school starts) because I can roll down my tile close to every room in my house! Dinner will be so much more exciting now! (Side note: I wear this shirt ALL of the time...even though 4th of July is a gonner. I guess it just adds to the rollerblade ensamble)
I also heart USA, even if I don't have that shirt on in this picture, because yellow corvettes exist. Obsession #2:I love this! Now I just need to actually drive one, because let's get serious, I'm not going to own one until I'm.....fifty something years old...and by then the passion may have faded....or not.......
