I know I have not blogged for over a month so I figured I better post something so you know we are still alive
We had a great time this summer but is it really over??? I am so sad for it to be over, it went by so fast but we did have alot of fun.
Steve had a pretty good schedule for this summer so we were able to hang out at least on Saturdays and do fun stuff.
The highlights of this summer were Steve's Birthday (he turned 34!) and My birthday in August ( i turned 33 UGGG!).
We only attended on symphony concert at Deer Valley this year. It was so fun they did the music of ABBA! To be honest (and July will agree) the symphony did not have to do much but what they did a great job!
We had the wonderful Willis reunion in July at Park City. We had a great time. It was only my second reunion but I felt like part of the family and everyone is so great and I always love a reason to stay up in Park City for a few days. It was so great to see everyone and I cant believe all of the little kids!
For my birthday we traveled to Vancouver, Canada for 6 days and had a GREAT time. I am already wanting to go back up! Vancouver is such a great city. For the most part it is clean, the people are amazing (unlike Paris) the weather was perfect (sunny and in the mid 70's) the city has so many neat "sub cities". We got to fly in a sea plane over to Victoria! The landing was the softest landing ever and the take off was not so bad either. We did a Zodiac boat ride that was so amazing we saw so much wildlife and the people that run that company are the nicest people. Can you tell I loved my vacation? We are so lucky we get to travel like we do!
Now it is September ... so far work has been pretty slow. Steve's schedule for September is not the greatest. He has to work the WHOLE Labor day weekend so I am thinking of taking my own trip to Portland for the weekend.
We celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary on September 22nd. I am really thinking of wanting to do something fun but I dont know what to do. If you have any ideas let me know. I was thinking maybe going to St George for the weekend and going to a Tuacan show but I dont know if Steve is too excited for that. He is off all of that week but I can probably only take a day off.
Anyways, that is what we have been up to lately. I promise this weekend I will post pics from our vacation (as long as I dont got to Portland)
See ya!

4th of July Weekend!!!

We had so much fun over the 4th of July weekend.
To start off on Friday morning Steve pulled wall paper down in our bathroom.
There were three layers of wallpaper! Amazing! The people who owned our condo before us (they were the original owners) LOVED wallpaper! Its everywhere, mostly painted over! Its a wonderful thing!
After pulling down wallpaper we went to Riverton for thier parade! It really is a great parade. We have a family friend that is on the parade route so we go down there and hang out. Since my brother and his new wife were on thier honeymoon I decided to kidnap Peyton from my mom and took him with us. My dad and Lisa were also there. We had a great time, it was Peytons first parade so he had fun dancing to the marching bands.
We lit fireworks after the parade at my dads.
On Saturday after a late start we went to Sandy to see what they had. We made it just in time for the parade and it was fun too! After the parade we went to dinner then headed out to Riverton for thier fireworks. We were so late and Lisa and I lost my dad and Steve for a little bit even though they did know yet that they were lost. We thought we were going to get horrible seats because it was so late but at the last second we got front row seats! It was the best! Hope you all had a great holiday. Thank goodness I had Sunday to relax before having to go back to work, poor Steve had to go back to work Sunday and he was dragging!
Here are some pics (of Peyton) from the parade on Friday.
