For those of you who know me and Zach,

you know that we LOVE to throw PARTIES...

Well, we decided that we needed to have

a FUN summer BBQ and POOL PARTY

with all of our FRIENDS to get everyone together.

That's what summer is all about right?!

Here are some pictures of our friends and fun

We can't believe it...

In exactly ONE WEEK this

LOVELY lady will be HOME

We couldn't be more excited to see her.

And, now that we are talking about missionaries coming home...

in about 6 MONTHS

this STUD will be HOME from his

MISSION in CHILE!!!!

We sure do LOVE our missionaries!!!!

Keep up the great work you two.

Cali

Why does my family always end up with the

STRANGEST DOGS??

We looked outside only to see this...

CALI sitting ON TOP of a BUSH!!

We aren't quite sure why she had to sit on it...

But she did.

The bush is still completely squashed.

I love this dog.

4th of JULY weekend!!

We had an awesome 4th of JULY weekend this year...

Zach and I woke up bright and early Saturday morning

and headed up to our cabin to meet up with my family.

When we got there we helped my family cut and store

some FIREWOOD for the cabin

Everybody pitched in...I think WILL was the

hardest worker out of all of us!

And of course LUCY helped too...

We then enjoyed a FUN day of 4-WHEELING, RELAXING,

and S'MORES by the fire.

Sunday was the 4th of JULY...

Zach and I slept in, then headed down to OAKLEY

for some MILKSHAKES at the DAIRY KEEN.

Come on, what could possibly be MORE American?;)

Cookie Dough for Zach, Strawberry for Me

Then, we headed back to KAMAS and hit up the

little movie theater to see ECLIPSE!!

(We LOVED it by the way)

We walked in, and were the ONLY people in the

entire THEATER...

I guess that's what happens in small towns.

After the movie, we headed back up to the cabin for dinner

and more 4-wheeling with my family, and some friends

that came up to spend the day with us!!

We both had Monday off of school and work so we were

able to enjoy another day at the cabin...

So, we decided to head up to MILL HOLLOW for a little

CANOEING and FISHING with my parents.

It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Zach casting out...what a stud

My Mom, Dad, and Zach fishing ever

so patiently

Zach and CALI

I caught a FISH!!

And, ANOTHER ONE!!

We ended the long weekend off with a

shopping trip to the PARK CITY outlets..

We had a FANTASTIC weekend. We were lucky to spend SO much

time with family, friends, and each other.

Girls Night Out

My Mom, Elsha, Alisha, Lucy and I went out for a

GIRLS NIGHT!!

We had TONS of fun as always...

We headed down to The Gateway and had delicious

salads at CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN

Lucy had her fair share of BUTTER...

And STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Elsha and Lucy...ADORABLE!!

We walked around Gateway for a while, did a little shopping,

then headed to YOWAY YOGURT for some yummy

FROZEN YOGURT (of course).

Then, we headed back to my parent's house and

hungout for a while...

I LOVE YOU GIRLS!!

THANKS FOR A FUN NIGHT
