My favorite holiday of the year <3

This time of year is always fun. I love the seasons changing, the leaves turning many shades of red, gold and brown. This year I was able to go to Thriller with Tiffany. One of my clients was sponsoring the show and gave me free tickets. The seats were amazing {2nd} row! I have danced for over 15 years, but for the last few years it's been definititley on the back burner. This show was incredibily and definitely made me want to dance again. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommended it next year!

This Halloween was our first year at our house. We had [tonz] of trick-or-treaters. It was fun handing out candy for the first little bit, but it got kinda old after awhile. We had a party this year and had an awesome turn out!

Pretty sweet faces, do you see why i married him?

Josh has been busy this past month, with bow hunting. He still hasn't shot anything, but soon! He also shaved his hand the day after our anniversary. I love it long, but he just insists so I always set events he has to grow it out for. He doesn't wait one extra day :) silly boy. He also started his second year of school for his apprenticeship for his electrical license. It's crazy to be done and not be back in school this fall. I feel a bit lost?

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

We had a girls night, which was so fun! We started out the day with shopping at Gateway, we went to the Proposal Matinee which was so freaking cute and then we went and ate a PF Changs. After dinner, the real party started. We went to the new club Sandbar and danced our little booties off. It was so fun hanging out with my high school friends Tara, Jade and Lacy. I love them so much and even though we have seperate lives we can always reunite and start right where we left off. Also, my good friend Angie and her girls came out with us too. It was such a great night. Thanks for a fabulous night ladies!! Here's to the next!

"Hey Ladies"

My Bestie Forever and Always

Ashley and Angie being crazy girls!!

The whole group at PF's

Shopping, it's what a girl does best ; P

Wicked, Kenny, and the 24th

The first of July, I had the fun opportunity to take a road trip with the my mother in law and my two sister in laws. We drove down to Phoenix in the 115 degree heat with the car almost over heating. We had to have the heater on full blast in the middle of this heat. It was quite an experience and I don't know how the Arizona people live in that heat. My older sister in law, Randi lives down there and loves it. We went down especially for the musical Wicked. I had no idea what it was about, but my mother in law and my younger sister in law Hailey were ecstatic! The play was absolutely amazing, the props, the music and the dancing! Can you say wow! It made me realize how much I miss dancing. On the drive down we got to see the Hoover Dam and the renovation and new bridge they are building. It's quite a scene. I had a great trip with just the girls.

We went to the Kenny Chesney concert on the 23rd of July. We had a great time and Kenny always puts on a great show.

Look at the cute bum he he

"NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO PROBLEM" Josh, Parker and Mitch felt the need to play along with the song

The group.... Thanks Mitch for helping us sneak onto the floor seats!! It was awesome.

On the 24th we headed up to Park City to our uncle Tom's Cabin. It was so nice and peaceful to get away and go on a couple four wheeler rides. Josh was the hit of the party with all the little kids. They were always begging him for a ride. He is so amazing with children, I can't wait to see him with our future little ones.

Look how cute this chipmunk was..... Paisley tried to chase it.

Look how adorable he is <3 <3 <3

Out with old in with the new??

The first day of July we had traded Josh's Ranger in and got a little bit of an upgrade. Josh is in absolute heaven. It wasn't suppose to work this way, I was suppose to get a new car first, hmmm...... Well, the day after we bought this new truck, there was a flash flood in Eagle Mountain. I was running into Wal-Mart in about 3 inches of water. When I came out, the water had doubled. I had very limited visibility and drove through about 8 inches of water... you wondering what the big deal is? Well, in my car the fuel injection intake goes to the ground almost and connects to the engine. Hitting that so called puddle of water seized my motor instantly. I thought I was living a nightmare. I was thinking there was no way possible that that could actually happen. After 2 days of letting my car dry out still nothing happened. One new car and one ruined car. The insurance company luckily replaced my motor and we just had to pay the deductible, but how insane is that. I guess I learned one valuable lesson, DON'T DRIVE IN THE RAIN?!?! For the fourth, we had people over like usual. We love to have everyone over and make breakfast in the morning. We do this at least once a month. We have 3 extra beds, so it's just one big sleepover!! Happy Birthday America! We lit illegal fireworks and entertained all of the little kids on the street.
