BIG NEWS

I am buying a condo! I really feel like an adult now. I am really
excited, but also slightly nervous. I am staying in Daybreak
because I love it out here. I am building with Garbett Homes.
Mine is the top left unit. It should be done sometime in September.
For pictures of the models go to www.garbetthomes.com and then
click on the Terrace Condos.


This is looking at at the kitchen and the front door.
I love the archways!


This is my favorite part. The fireplace with some
decorative alcoves.


This is the Southeast view from my patio.

July Concerts

My first concert of the month was The Fray & Jack's Mannequin. I went with Katie & Candice. Candice and I work together, and our co-worker, Melanie and her husband met up with us too. It was quite the show, but we had more entertainment then we paid for. There was a group of people next to us that were drinking all night. They gave us their own little peep show. It was interesting to say the least. The concert was a lot of fun!


The second concert of the month was Kenny Chesney!!! I was so excited because I have never seen him in concert before, even though he comes every year. Sugarland was supposed to come, but Jennifer Nettles had lost her voice. Lady Antebellum & Miranda Lambert opened and they were both great! Kenny Chesney was awesome! His encore was the best encore I have ever seen. He did another 35 minutes and they were fun cover songs. Someone gave him a U of U hat, and he wore it for the encore. Jen, Trav and my friend, Meghan went. It was super hot, but a lot of fun. Jen and I are excited because Trav is starting to like country music..... They are my favorite concerts to go to. I am glad he will be joining us from now on!

Oakley Rodeo

For the 4th of July I went to the rodeo with one of my best friends, Mal. We have know each other since we were like 5. I went last year and I think I want to keep this tradition going. The rodeo is great. I can't believe the things these cowboys do. It looks painful to get bucked off animals, not to mention the whiplash they get from the ride. Ouch! I think my favorite event this year was the Bronc riding. I will be adding pics later because they are all on Mallory's camera.

Projects

I started to make some fun projects last November. For Christmas
I made Jen & Trav the 'FAMILY' & 'BAILEE' letters.

I made this fun magnet board for my room. I made all of these

fun crafts in the last week. I have many more projects I want

to make in the future!

I made this frame for some cards I got in Vietnam that

some children at an orphange painted.

Another sign for my room. My mom said I needed

this saying because I am obsessed with shoes :)

I helped my friend makes this for her room and it turned

out really cute!

Disneyland

So last year we were in Sea World on my birthday, and this year we were in Disneyland for my birthday. I think this a tradition I want to keep up...going on vacation for all my birthdays! Our goal was to meet as many characters as we could. Here's how we did.


I got a "Happy Birthday" pin and Pierce got a "First Visit" pin.



Cruella Deville told us to strike a pose with attitude.

The Incredibles. My mom wishes she was elastic to control my brothers :)

Fancy cakes

So Jen really likes to make and decorate cakes. For Alex's birthday in February she made a guitar. For my dad's birthday in April she made a Harley cake. It turned out super cute. I love to watch Ace of Cakes and see all of the amazing creations they make with cake. I would like to learn how to decorate cakes in the future. Maybe when Jen has her own cake shop she will hire me one day to be a decorator.

St. Patties at the Zoo

On St. Patrick's Day I went with Jen, Trav and Bailee to the Hogle Zoo. It only took us 1 1/2 hours to walk through and see all the animals, which kind of surprised me. We saw the gorilla, Muke, who is dying of ovarian cancer. She was eating all of the cards that kids have sent her, it was sweet. Then we went to McCool's for an irish lunch. It was a fun day! Pictures will be coming later.
