Summer Fun

Luke and I have been doing a lot of fun things this summer.

Alaska is at the top of the list of course. However, I haven't got all of the pictures uploaded yet.

We hit a couple of movie premieres this summer as well- Transformers and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Both were great!

We won 2nd place in the night golf tournament in Filmore. 4-man scramble. Our friends Ashley Paul and Brady Jones were on our team. Luke's brother Josh and his wife Tressa and his sisters Natalie and Cami and their hubbies Steven and Tony played in the tournament as well. Night golf is so much fun-we've played in this same tournament for 3 years together now. Luke has given me a couple of lessons this year and I think my swing has improved. He is a good coach and a good golfer. He plays quite a bit of golf and this year it has paid off. He has been doing well in tournaments and actually just won first place in his division in the Ute Stampede tournament. Jake took second (his brother). Good job boys!

LUKE'S 22nd BIRTHDAY!!!
Luke and I both turned 22 this summer. We celebrated Luke's birthday all weekend. Luke took me on a motorcycle ride on the newly paved Santaquin Canyon Road-very smooth. And as always we ate like kings (and queens), surf n' turf (crab, shrimp and steak), Luke's favorites. Instead of cake, cheese cake-yum! Luke's mom set up a movie under the stars in their back yard for his family party and for his friend party we played pin the tail on the donkey and hired a clown . . . just kidding ;) we roasted hot dogs and made s'mores up the canyon.

Luke and I aren't big cake eaters. We both prefer cheese cake and/or brownies.

The kiddies are excited for the movie under the stars.

SOFTBALL

We spent at least two nights a week at the ballpark in May and June playing men's and women's softball. We didn't put together a co-ed team this year, but we fill in for a team and Luke is playing on another men's team with his high school buddies, so what do you know. . .we're still at the ball park two nights a week.

BEFORE WE HIT THE PILLOW . . .

Luke and I spent half of our summer evenings, just before hitting the pillow, reading the Twilight series together and the other half of our summer evenings watching the Prison Break series. We have two discs left in that series and we're kind of sad honestly. We felt the same way when the Twilight series was coming to an end. Silly, I know. P.S. We're both Jacob fans in case anyone is wondering. Can't wait for New Moon (November 20) to hit theaters.

PAYSON ONION DAYS

Payson Onion Days!!! We didn't hit up many Onion Days festivities this year; however, we did go to the band concert Sunday night and the parade and "carni" on Monday. The band is great background music for all the people watching I do and Luke is a good sport and for hanging out with me even when I'm prone to zoning out. For some reason I am so content to sit and stare at people. I know . . . "staring isn't nice". Okay, so I can only people watch for so long. We sat with Natalie and Steven and the whole Andreason crew during the concert-who by the way are so nice to share their homemade goodies with us-and Owen (our nephew) is even nice enough to throw sweedish fish into our mouths, so we don't even have to work for our treats.

Ashtyn and Luke on the BIG slide. Wee!

Kennedy and her friend Bailey.

Me, Kennedy and Bailey on the Gee Wiz.

Haydn and I on the Dragon.

I love DisneyLand and can spend 3 days riding rides there, but the "carni" makes me sick! How could I pass riding with my cute nieces and nephews though? So, I took the chance of getting sick and went on a few rides with them and I survived.

Tayler(our niece) danced in the parade and at the park. She is a good little dancer and fun to watch because she is a little cheeser.

CAMPING

We went to my parents cabin for the 4th of July weekend. The cabin is always nice and Payson Canyon is so beautiful. We did come down from the canyon on the 4th to the Stadium of Fire with Aaron and Julie (Luke's parents) and our nephews Skyler and Jadden. The Stadium of Fire was great and I'm a new fan of the Jonna's Brothers-who isn't? We try to go camping, especially to the cabin, as much as possible. Our last two trips were with some friends. . .
