Favorite Things 2009

We had our 2nd annual Favorite Things party in the middle of July and it was a blast. There were great gifts and I've already used a bunch of them. It is so fun to get together with my best girls and just hang out, it's even better when gifts are involved.
Here are a few of the gifts and girls!

I was especially glad that Hill and Liz were both in town from Virginia at the same time and could both make it.

I sure miss you girls, I hope you can visit more often.

4th of July

We had a great holiday weekend. Bountiful does their fireworks on the 3rd so we all went to Carlee's house for a BBQ before the show. It was just what I needed to get me excited for the 4th! I haven't been around for the past 2 years because that has been when we've gone to Lake Powell, so I was especially excited. We started out the day with the annual Bowman's breakfast, where they serve mickey mouse, turtle, or dino print pancakes! (I must have been sleepy and forgot to open my eyes!)

Then we headed down to the parade. It was really nice because it was overcast during the parade so there wasn't the scorching heat to deal with. It was fun to see people from the neighborhood as well as spend time with my best girls!

Lucky for us the weather cleared up and the clouds burned away and we went swimming all afternoon. Then we headed back up to my parents house for a BBQ and to watch Kaysville's fireworks. It was a little disappointing that they had some technical difficulties with the music, but overall it was great.

After the fireworks we headed to the Winwards for the after-party! He always strings up his whole backyard with firecrackers and other fireworks and puts on a show! You can see it gets more popular each year, this year I think we were on the 3rd row!

As we were walking back from the fireworks to the Winwards I realized that I didn't have my phone. I put it in my camera "case/Sock" and it had fallen out. It was only 3 days old. Jake called it and luckily someone had turned it in to lost and found. I was so relieved!
I really the love the 4th for so many reasons:

Fireworks, BBQ's, Swimming, Parades, spending time with famiy and friends. What's not to love?

Park City

We had a great day last Saturday. A hole day with some of my best girls, it can't be beat.
We started off the day with brunch at Ruth's Diner. Delious Biscuits! Then headed up to PC for a day of fun and shopping.
We were going to ride the zipline but after we got done shopping and got to the resort the wait was too long and we had to get home. Lyndsi and Carlee decided to just enjoy the weather... While Al, Kell, and I decided to brave the Alpine Coaster! The line was long but it was totally worth it!

I've never actually ridden the alpine slide so I didn't really know what to expect. I'm told the coaster is way better. You can go as fast as you want with out the danger of serious road rash from falling off!

All in all it was a great day, and really fun to catch up with the girls!
