Summer Catch-Up/ Weekend Adventure!

Ok so I know this is really really pathetic! It has been over a month since my last post! I don't know what has gotten into me but better now than never right? 

Home life is so awesome! I just love being with my family! This Summer is one that I am certainly not going to forget! I have already made so many memories and I just love summer! 

This Summer my job is babysitting for a couple families during the week! It is the best decision I have ever made because I get to play outside all day long and I gotta say my tan is looking pretty dang nice! 

Here are the little girls that I play with on a regular basis...

This is Lux, she is 5 years old and acts as if she is a 16 year old girl! She is so funny and loves to play hide & seek, sisters, I'm always the little sister and she is my older sister whose Mom is either on vacation or died I always lean towards vacation, she loves me to jump on the tramp with her, play Mother May I, Play Parade on the sidewalk, and so much more...if you haven't been able to tell already she has quite the imagination! She is the cutest little thing! 

This is Sayde and she's 2! She loves Peppa Pig, and her kitty Toby. She loves to do whatever Lux is doing...even if Lux doesn't want her to! It always makes me laugh at how protective these two are of each other...I wouldn't want to be the one to stand between these two they would fight to the death! 

Although I have only been watching them for a few weeks I have really grown to love these two little stinkers! They are my buddies, and they are making my Summer so fun!

Holli and I are really starting make some memories! We just went on this way adventurous road trip this weekend! I love hanging out with her! Now that she is older, 6 years doesn't make that much of a difference! It's so fun to hang out with her now...even if she thinks I am embarrassing in front of her friends! 

This weekend was my cousin Elise's bridal shower in Salt Lake. So Holli and I decided to make a trip of it and go see Shawna! We left Friday morning and that night went to a concert in Provo. It was surprisingly really fun! They do this concert series for free the first Friday of every month on the roof of this parking garage in downtown Provo! It was Joshua James, someone I had never heard of but it was really cool!

Saturday was the bridal shower and it was fun to see all of my cousins that I hadn't seen in a while! After the shower we went back to Shawna's to find out my parents and Hyle were going to the cabin in Island Park! A little bummed Holli and I decided to surprise them and drive up there too! Shawna had plans for the rest of the weekend and couldn't come with which was a bummer but we still had fun! We left at five o'clock and we excited! We didn't get forty five minutes down the road before a huge traffic jam! My first ever driving alone! I was a nervous wreck, but Holli calmed me down...We were a good team! After the traffic we were well on our way for the five hour trip to Island Park!

I chickened out and called my dad in Pocatello to tell him we were coming! Holli made fun of me and called me a baby...one day I hope she'll understand but probably not! Driving up Ashton Hill and into Island Park in the dark is one of the scariest things I've ever done! I'm a paranoid freak anyway but I was so nervous a deer was going to jump out in the road and we were going to hit it! But luckily we made it after seeing several deer getting ready to dart into the road...someone was certainly watching out for us! 

We got to the cabin a home away from home for us! Although we were only there one night we have been chomping at the bit to get up there in the fresh air and beautiful weather! And boy was it beautiful...we went for a long drive around Island Park, up to Sawtell, moose hunting and had no luck, but just enjoyed being in nature! 

 

This weekend was one of the many adventures I feel we will have this Summer!
