2nd Half of Summer Recap

I know I am completely fired at blogging, as some of friends and family members have pointed out. So I thought I would just do a summer recap, here we go........It's neverending so prepare yourself! :)

Fourth of July with the Watson Fam
The Watson Fam is always so willing to let me crash their party and join in the fun.





The Fourth of July started with my 2nd 5k of the year with sissy Shauna...I was a really grumpy lady but half through the race I snapped out of it. Although I was slower than death, I finished!






Then we headed to the Canyon for so lunch. There was playing, talk of Barrett sausage arms and fun times on a dirt hill.



Then we had a little mishap.....but Doddle was a little champ.







And to end the day we did fireworks and had some popsicles. Love the 4th of July and all the freedoms we enjoy!

I heart Washington



American Fork Carnival





I am always a sucker for a fair, carnival, whatever. The city I work in, American Fork, had a little carnival and I couldn't resist. I managed to convince Erika and Kati to come along. We ate a lot of junk, which did not settle well with Kati's tummy and she took it out on the dumpster and all and all had a great time. I was in heaven because they the zipper, my all time fav ride!!!

Playing with Toddy!!!








Everytime my friend Todd visits from California we have a tradition of going to Cafe Rio, although I don't have a picture of that I do have a picture of the fun we usually have afterwards.

Bon Fire with the Girls




There is nothing like a cool summer night and a bon fire.....some might call me a
pyro, but I say it's a healthy love of fire. Give me a bottle of liter fluid and a fire pit and I one happy lady.

Kati's Bridal Shower







What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't through a sex shower, wait I mean a bridal shower for Kati. I think it was educational and fun....hopefully Kati thought the same. All the good pictures can't be posted because I will get in trouble! :)

CaMpInG










I figured out there are quite a few things that make me a happy lady and camping in the summer is one of them. Although I was mocked relentlessly about going to bed at 11:30pm,I had a really good time. Sitting in front of a fire drinking some Apple Beer (a soda for all outside of Utah), eating a fire cooked hot dog with chili and sleeping under the stars....oh wait it rained on us....is all a girl can ask for!

I HeARt WAshIngToN!



















It had been way too long since I had been home, so I bummed along on Shauna's trip. It was a fun filled few days, full of walks, hanging out, parties and so much more!!!

Kati's Big Day!!!











Our Utah version of Banks Lake, Yuba Lake


















I had such a blast crashing Jen and Ross's little camping trip at Yuba Lake. I was able to come up the night before, roast some smores and get in a morning ski run. It was the first ski run for me in probably 12 years (shhh don't tell my Dad)....Don't worry I still have it....that and I had a really good driver, thanks guys! I did forget how fatiguing water sports are on your muscles, I don't think I walked straight for a week. After our early morning ski run, the Watson clan joined us and the fun began. The kids did solo kneeboard runs and were kicking booty all over town. Xander about gave me a heart attack when he went one handed because Aunt Lyss was (I was trying to steady Skinny's board, he's so light it kept turning). We ended the very hot day with smores again...I can't get enough of those and fire of course. It might not be Banks but it was sure a good substitute!

I am sure there is more for the summer catch up...but wholy cow that was a lot!!!! Hope everyone that reads this is doing well and if I never comment on your blog, know that I am still reading it!!! :)

Lehi Rodeo

I am such a country girl at heart, I smell barnyard poop and I feel at home....sad I know. Everytime I attend a rodeo I have such an urge to go horse back riding (Jen loves that) and move to the country but right now I guess I have to settle for all the summer rodeos in Utah.

Utah Family Trip

Okay I am handicapped at the whole slide show thing (all you experts please resist the urge to laugh), but if you do want to see oddles of pictures you can visit my mom's blog or my sister Brooke's. They both have great slide shows. Here is just a few of my favorite pictures.

Thanks everyone in the family for an amazing week. It was so fun to see everyone and get to spend time with the adults and kids. I couldn't have asked for a better week. Love and miss you all. Can't wait till the next family trip!!!!

Chelsea's Moving Away Dinner

My friend Chels move to Rexburg, ID with her husband so he could attend BYU Idaho. Although I will miss her (and having snoopy fights at work), I'm really excited for her new adventure. Before she left we took a little trip to the Cheesecake Factory. I have to admit I wasn't the biggest fan of their food, but the cheesecake was AMAZING....I highly recommend it for those with a little sweet tooth!

Kati's 26th Birthday

For Kati Lynn Didders Johnson soon to be Heath's birthday, I thought it might be fun to go to a concert of a band we both really like, Secondhand Serenade. If you haven't heard of them, Itunes them right now, you will LOVE them! The concert was great, it was at Thanksgiving Point in a big grassy park. We spend the majority of the night chilling on the blankets (and at points freezing on the blankets, beginning of June was COLD!) and the the rest of the evening getting a little crazy in the front. And can I just tell you I love Kati to death! We have had such a blast the last three and half years and I am so grateful for her and am so excited for her new adventure.

Oh random picture of a boy....don't worry there is a story. Kati and I were looking for a boy for a little hook up for me(which I have discovered I can't do in my old age, maybe I will blog that story....it's a good one) and we both saw this "kid". And after we acknowledged he was cute, we were both like yay in 5 years he will be really cute, right now he is in high school....awkward! :)

The JoYs of being an Aunt

I think after my little blogger post blow up, my sister Shauna thought it would be good for me to get out. She said her and Tim wanted to go shopping alone but I smelled alterior motives. I ended up taking the best cheer up crew, the Watson kids, to Chuckee Cheese. I haven't been there for probably 15 years and I don't think much has changed but the kids had a blast and would be over joyed when these magic tickets started popping out. They were even more excited when they discovered they could buy stuff with them.....picking out prizes and trying the leave without the last slice of pizza because we were way past bedtime was an adventure in itsef. Thanks Shaun and Tim for knowing how to cheer me up! Your little family is the best!
