CALIFORNIA!!!

This summer has been so busy, but we were able to finally squeeze in a quick trip to Cali! We drove, but I had my new Breaking Dawn book, so it was all good. (By the way, I'm pretty happy that there is finally some better action between Edward and Bella! It was painful to read before! I know the author is LDS and all, but seriously, way to get me all into it, and then, ---ruin it!!! ha ha haha!!) We started off our trip to The Grove Mall in Hollywood. Our main stop was for Travis's little sister Addie who turned 10 and wanted to go to the American Girl Doll store. This mall was amazing!! Love it!

Then we went to an Angels baseball game, and who do you think they were playing? The Yankees!!

P.S. My hair is darker now.
What's a game with out.... chew!!!
The next day we went to New Port beach. It was prefect weather! Travis always looks like this when he eats cookies. He's always flexing and sucking in. It's just natural!!!

Then we stayed our last night at Jeremy and Stefanie's house in Bakersfield. They have a pool and this is everyone playing the game where you have to push the other person off their floaty. Apparently is was pretty fun! Cause there is only one girl, yet all I heard was giggling and girl screams!! We had a blast!!

"Where The Good Things Are..."

Be sure to watch Good Things Utah next Fri July 25th! My sister will be showing her jewelry,(Tribal Jewelry) and some of us will be modeling it! It's on at 10:00 am on channel 4! I think it's abc.

P.S. No making fun!!!

Reunion at Kaibab and Grand Canyon

Last weekend we had a quick trip to Kaibab national forest for my mom's side family reunion. It is like 30 min from the North rim of the Grand canyon, so we headed down there also. We had it there because my Grandpa grew up near there. It's absolutely beautiful. 2 of my cute nephews, trying to act like they are up to nothing!
Us with my Grammy Nelson. She said she was wearing this vest the other day and went out and some girl asked her if she was a crossing guard.

Travis helping to make the best cheese potatoes. They have truly been mastered!!
Andrew is famous for his animal impersonations, here's a little taste of the bird lips!!
The master piece!
A reunion isn't complete without a game of horse shoes!! No body is ever good, but it's still always fun!I found my cute little brother escorting my Grammy to get her coat/vest. She held his arm the whole way, it was too cute!

On the trail to the over look at the North rim of the Grand Canyon.

Mom, my niece Ashlynn, and Me The view is so phenomenal!!

Definitely have to see it at least once in your life time!!!

River Rats

So we decided, that for the 4th, Travis and I wanted to do something, just the two of us since there has been so much going on this summer. We decided to take his boat down the Green River again, and to take our bikes, and to camp. So no fireworks this year, and you know, I don't really care.

He should seriously be a fish. The river was freezing, and it never even phased him. I even realized Gillespie has the word " Gill" in it.

I made a sweet set up, a bed, a couple of books and magazines,the sun, and food!!
We rode this little 3 mile trail. It wasn't too intense, but had a great view that you ride to.

I've decided that this is my new favorite thing to do. Floating is so relaxing and it's so beautiful. The weather was perfect, and Travis was happy because he was fishing. Camping was so fun too. I forgot how good tin foil dinners are!! So it was a great 4th and I hope all of yours were too!

He's Finally Home!!!

My cutest little brother just got back from his mission in Taiwan last Tuesday. We are so excited about it! He's is so funny and it's been so great to have him back around! Don't worry, I took it upon myself to take him shopping and to lay out and work on getting his tan back. He came back pretty white. Like kind of a yellow tint. And his eyes were even more slanted. Go figure!!



Welcome Home Andrew!!!!

Some Fun Stuff!!

Here are some pics of some of the fun stuff we have been doing lately....

Travis and I went to the Green River with some of his friends, and floated down, and they all fished while I worked on my tan and read! It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Here we are starting to gather, in anticipation for my brother in laws performance!

Last Sat my bro in law performed at Thanksgiving Point. It was so fun! He is the lead singer and is amazing!!

On Monday night we went to a Blaze game with my family. We had a blaze! I mean a blast!

Travis was making my nephew Bo laugh so hard and I think this picture is so cute!

And only 6 days until my little bro comes back from his mission from Taiwan!! Woo woo!!!

Weekend in Detroit? What the.......

Now I know you are all wondering, why in the world, would I go to Detroit. Trust me if I was going to go all the way there, it had better be good. Indeed it was! I went with my dad, 2 of my brothers, and my sister, to sit front row, at 2 baseball games, to see the N Y Yankees play the Tigers. We are the world's biggest Yankee fans. (We even put an NY on our roof in Christmas lights during Christmas) It's so weird because I feel like we are like best friends with the players, and to only give me a head nod, well that really hurt my feelings!

My sister got her ball autographed while I tried to take pictures. We pretty much risked our lives. The players come over, and everyone swarms like ants on a cookie. So you have to be pretty aggressive! This is Bobby Abreu the right fielder. They are so big in real life. At this moment people are knocking me around. I kept taking pictures of some one's head cause I was getting pushed so bad.

These are where our seats were. They were so sweet!

Jeter! All I wanted was a hug. Just one hug is that too much to ask? I mean come on!!

Alright so the Yankees ended up losing, but they won the next day!! Then Sat night we went to the Red wings hockey game against the Dallas Stars. We also got 2nd row seats, and they are in the play offs! I now love hockey so much!! It was a great weekend!!
