Ali and me in our matching (unintentional) outfits and awesome new tights!

With the purchase of my new crock pot I figured the best way to celebrate would be to have a party! We invited a few friends over and made Pizza soup. It was delicious and we had a good time! We ended up having the left overs Sunday afternoon with a few boys from the ward. It was a lot of fun! If anybody wants the recipe let me know! :)

FINALS OVER/TEMPLE SQUARE WITH THE GIRLS!!!

Now that finals are over, I have just been working and trying to play when I can! The first weekend off I went with the girls from high school to Temple Square. It was a lot of fun to get out of the valley for a short time and to have some fun with them! It was also great to see my brother and sister-in-laws which was super fun! They are always fun to see and I cannot wait until Christmas to see them all again!

Even though it is finals week next week, me and Ali have found some time to have fun! On Tuesday we went to the Aggie Basketball game and then to an Ugly Sweater party. It was mainly for Christmas sweaters unless, but we saw a lot. We went shopping beforehand at the DI and found some sweaters. I scored an awesome sweater vest for only a whopping 5 dollars that I just might have to wear again!

Blue and White Wrestling

Wrestling is one of my favorite things to watch, and this year my little brother Connor is wrestling. I was so excited to go and watch the Blue and White and he did a great job! He beat the other kid 9-8 and then won again the next day 4-3 so he is Varsity for Sky View. I can't wait to go to the Duals and some tournaments this year! Great job Connor!

Bike Race

My brother Jake biked a cyclocross race and our family went down to watch him. He did a great job and it was really neat to watch the bikers go around the course. I took some pictures for Jake and Kristin at the race so I will just post a few.

Jacob hunting again.

Following my dad through the tall grass. . . .which was not fun.

As you can tell the grass really is tall and I could barely see them to take photos.

Pheasant Hunting!

On the 1st I had the opportunity to go hunting with my brothers and dad. It was a lot of fun although all I did was take pictures and walk through the extremely tall grass. Sorry Jake that there are not a lot of you, you were always just on the other side of the hunt.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to go to the tour of So you think you can dance. Yeah it was amazing. I went with some friends from high school and we had a great time! We got to see all of the great dances from the show plus some. I got to see Twitch. . . and yes he is as beautiful in real life as he is on TV. I also got to see my favorite dance. For all of you So you think you can Dance watchers its the one with the door. It was just as good on the tour as on TV. I would so love to see it again!

Lotoja

My brother Jake and uncle Mike at the awards ceremony


This weekend was the annual Lotoja bike race for over 1000 people. This was my first year to participate in cheering everybody on including my brother Jake and uncle Mike. It was a very good experience and I look up to anybody willing to try. It turned out to be really rough for each of them and they did not make it to the finish line. But I thank my brother and uncle for the great example that they were to me and giving it a shot. My brother and Mike are one of the hardest working people that I know and it was hard for me to have to watch them not be able to finish. They have been through so much in the last year preparing but I am very proud of them for actually trying.

Labor Day camping

After a weekend of camping with the family they (the sister-in-laws) have convinced me to start a Blog. But I am not guaranteeing anything. It will mostly consist of photos of the fun activities me and the roommates or family have done.

These first pictures are from this past weekend that I spent camping with the family in Wyoming. It was our annual Labor Day camping and we had a blast.
