Summer 2010

This is Mama's house in Mount Pleasant Utah we went down and helped clean it out because we sold it. The first time I went down with my dad I was ahead of him by about 20 minutes and I hadn't been down in probably 15 years so I drove around and tried to find it, I knew I couldn't miss it because it is ORANGE!! I was right when I saw it I knew. Sara, so you remember mama "teaching us to drive" the riviera? "be careful" she said to you "it jack knifes off the road!" that is all I remember her saying. I didn't want to try to drive after that!

This is my tart flag I made for the 4th of July. Ok so it doesn't look exactly like it did in the magazine but it was delicious!



Here is a picture update of our summer. I was in school and Ryan worked almost non-stop, but we managed to fit in some fun!
Fireworks at sugarhouse park.
One day we were driving up 4th South, past the cemetery and I saw a bunch a deer, little baby ones, they were so cute! We went home grabbed the camera and drove through the cemetery looking for them. Apparently they live there but it was still exciting to see the cute little babies.
If you look close you can see the little baby laying down.

Summer was full of visits from family. It started off with Ryan's brother Greg his wife Michelle and there 2 boys Deagan and Kayden who we met for the first time. Greg got back from 3 weeks in Israel! And we got to see them before they headed back to NY.


Then was the Nelson family reunion. Practically in our backyard at This is the Place State Park. Bryce, Liliya and there kids came down along with Carol, Dale and Melissa. Friday we hit Raging Waters, it was a blast!




They could have stayed all night!! Saturday I went to the Family Reunion with Ryan's family while Ryan slept. Then we went shopping at the outlets in Park City and what do you know swimming again!

We did have a break in between semesters and Ryan also had a week off from UPS so we went up to Jackson and went camping.





We had a friendly deer that kept coming through our campsite hoping we would feed it. I could have reached out and touched him he was so close. The first morning fellow campers came by to let us know there was a bear sighted in the campground, we were the only ones in a tent...we did some hiking, Ryan did some biking and we had pitiful fire. The wood was wet so all it would do was smoke, but I did make some mighty nice marshmallows! Ryan did take me to see Eclipse at the Spud drive-in. How romantic! :)
Holly and Brad also spent a few days with us on there way back from Missouri. Then over labor day weekend Bryce and Liliya ditched the kids to come hang out. We had love having people come stay, so thanks to everyone who took a little time to stop by!
School is going. Ryan's last semester and the first time we have ever gone to a football game, although we did watch them other years. This year we decided to go to a few games. We took my brother Tanner and cousin Chad to the UNLV game. It was a blast and the perfect day for a football game.



We even went and got us some red shirts so we could show our school spirit!! We had so much fun we are going to get tickets to the next game. I hope Caroline is proud of me. I always think of here when I watch football! GO UTES!
