Family Outings

This summer I spent a lot of time with my family and a few weeks ago, we went on a family vacation. We tried going on a mini family vacation about 2 weeks before that with our dog, and that was a DISASTER. So we redeemed ourselves by staying at a spa resort and soaking up the sun. We all got sunburned to some degree. But I think we all had fun.

Oh how I love my momma. She is so brave for going with us on our fun night adventure hundreds of feet in the air.

And what would a family vacation be without a photo bomb picture?

Pretty much, I have the best family ever.

Paradise

As the summer is almost at an end, I realized one thing I didn't do. Go to the beach. What is a summer without the beach? Luckily I was able to go to the beach earlier during the school year while I was in California with Living Legends. Can I just go back to Paradise?

Pedal to the Metal

So my best friend and I? We like to do everything together. 
Our latest adventure? Go karting.

We drove all the way out to Tooele to go to the raceway out there, but unfortunately NASCAR was there that day and no one could get on the track for several hours. So we ended up coming back to Salt Lake and going go karting here. We still had a great time and my best friend super kicked my butt. She's Fast and the Furious. I'm Driving Miss Daisy. 

Some Things Never Change

We haven't been graduated for very long but we look for any reason to have reunions and see each other.
This reunion...was planned the night before so unfortunately not everyone could make it.
We went out for breakfast with the M&M crew. We were all in a group for Sadies our senior year and we definitely had a blast then and now.
We did breakfast at 8 in the morning. It was great getting back together. And of course our favorite thing? Chismea. We sure do love getting caught up on the latest gossip that has been happening in our lives and in our friends lives. It's crazy how much you actually miss out on even after not seeing someone only for a few weeks. 

After breakfast, those of us that could go take some pictures did. Just for fun photoshoots are some of the funnest things to do. Ever. 

Manu and I were the only couple left from the Sadies group that made it to pictures. Oh well, I guess that just means more pictures for us.

Manu still doesn't know how to give decent piggy back rides. My short arms were choking him the whole time we took this picture because he is so big my arms don't reach all the way around his neck. 

  

I love my M&M crew girls

Big Time Summer 2012

My best friend and I may not be teenagers anymore, but we sure are teenagers at heart.
We bought tickets a few months ago to the Big Time Rush featuring Cody Simpson concert here in Utah. 
I won't lie, I totally was a 16 year old fan girl. Carlos (the best looking BTR member) came 30 feet away from us when he came into the crowd. I almost cried. 

We even ran into our friend Nora who we went to junior high and high school with. She's a big BTR fan also. She even dragged her little brother with her and he became our own unofficial photographer.

Also, we have this huge obsession with buying matching clothes and this was a perfect opportunity for us to buy some new matching shirts.
