Fiesta Days 2014

This year's
Fiesta Days was a lot of fun! We started out this year's celebration by going to the car show. As we were walking around, one of the owners of a T-Top Corvette, that looked similar to the one my dad had, insisted that I come sit in the driver's seat and get some pictures. The whole time he was telling me things to act out for the camera and it made me laugh so much! At one point he was telling me to act as if I was going to run Kyle over! Haha :) My favorite car was the Back to the Future Delorean!! There was even a Flux Capacitor and the hat from 2015 inside!! If I could have one of those cars, it would be awesome! Then on the 24th we went to the Parade with my family and there were a lot of floats, as always! :P I thought the SF Airport's
 float was the coolest with these mini helicopters. Later that day we were invited to have a picnic at my parent's house with all of my siblings. All the food was really yummy that everyone brought! And finally, we were able to go the rodeo with Kyle's family. We watched the steer wrestling which was pretty good. Also, there was a lady who did tricks with 4 horses. She stood on two, but was leading four horses at once. It was amazing what she could control these horses to do. She had them all jump over the poles, and she even did tricks while riding as well. My favorite part of the rodeo is the Barrel racing, but I was pretty disappointed this year because only one girl got through without hitting any barrel's. All in all, it was a very memorable Fiesta Days!

                

The Fourth of July 2014

This year for the Fourth of July, we were able to spend the day with family and each other. One of the things that I enjoy doing around this time of year is walking around the booths to see all the interesting things people have to sell. In the late afternoon, we went to Provo to do just that. We each bought one thing that really caught our attention. What I got was from the booth we spent the most time at. They had different insects, flowers and small sea animals in a kind of hard plastic so you could see them. The one that I chose was a small coral colored flower with a glow in the dark back color. As we walked around Kyle found something that he wanted which was a picture with his name and the superman symbol inside it. (We just watched the whole Smallville series and he loved it so much.) One of the cool things that was by the booths was all of the food trucks that were lined up. Apparently everyone wants to own a food truck with something original they make. The food we decided to try was gourmet Mac and cheese. It was actually pretty good because it had bigger noodles and a different kind of sauce with bread crumbs on top. If we ever see that food truck driving around, we will definitely get it again. After that, we headed north to go to the Stadium of Fire! This year Carrie Underwood was the main performer with Studio C (the BYU sketch-comedy team) as the second performers. Kyle and I had so much fun! Carrie Underwood was amazing as usual, and the fireworks were beautiful as well. I am so glad that we were able to go with Kyle's family and have a fun Independence Day! :)

First Camping Trip this Summer!

 

                               

On June 20th and 21st, we were able to plan a trip to go camping to Gooseberry reservoir with Blake and Chantel! I was surprised that I had never heard of it before, even though it is pretty close by, just up Fairview canyon. It was a beautiful place to go, and we got there fairly early and were able to get a really nice spot. 

One pretty awesome thing was that I made my first ever tin foil dinner! Mmm-mmm yum! One trick I learned is to put tomatoes in with whatever you have! (We had ground beef, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.) Also I am hooked on lemon pepper! If I can think of any type of food that will go good with lemon pepper, I will use it! So I tried lemon pepper on this and it was delicious! Kyle tried Montreal steak seasoning (which is one of his favorites) and loved his as well! 

We spent some good time around the campfire after the sun had gone down and enjoyed laughing and having a good time. :) 

After a good nights rest, we had some delicious breakfast made by Blake, and headed over to the reservoir, which I was surprised to see was a pretty popular spot to go fishing! And of course, that was what we had planned to do! Kyle got a one day fishing license for the 21st so he could have fun trying to catch a fish, and I sat by Chantel and talked and ate pistachios. :) And you wouldn't believe how many dragonflies where around the reservoir! There were hundreds just where we were sitting. It was fun to watch them, and I even made a friend with one. He didn't leave my finger for a good ten minutes while we were sitting there.

After fishing, we decided that we would head back home and just have a nice dinner on Blake and Chantel's new deck. 

(As an after note, I would like to add how sun burnt I got. I have really light skin that burns easily, and even after 20 years of life, this has not been drilled into my head apparently. Wear sunscreen!!!)

My Brother's Wedding!

May 17th!

That is when my brother, Seth, got married!

He got married in the Manti Temple to Gentry Wilson!

It was a beautiful day with all of our family!

Now that Seth is married, all of my siblings are married! Hooray!

 

Kyle and I helped out Seth and Gentry by hiding their car to make sure nobody decorated it and to also put some gifts in there so they could just get in and go! That was pretty exciting! Haha :)
Also, Kyle set up the GoPro at the reception and did a time lapse video! That is pretty fun to watch and see all the movement of the night!

                                   

Snow College Presents: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Oh my goodness, can I just say that Snow College's production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was the best comedy musical/play I have ever seen in my life!? 

Seriously.

 I don't think I have laughed that hard at a play ever!! 

I wish that I could tell you to go see it, but we went on the last night.

I have never seen that play before, so I didn't know what to expect! But it truly was awesome!

We went to support my brother Seth's Fiance, Gentry. 

She played her cello in the little music pit they have in front of the stage. Yay!!

And also, just to let you know, that if you ever go and sit all the way back on the benches they have in the music building at Snow College, my mom, sister and I cannot reach the floor. :)
