Summer

So as far as summer goes...it went! Here are some fun things that I did.
1. Nanny my cute little neice and nephew
2. drove the H2 down to St. George with my best friend Maquelle
3. Celebrated lots of little kids birthdays!
4. Teach my nephews piano lessons...which they will get ice cream tonight if they practice(:
5. Entered a songwriting/vocal competition
6. Drove to Idaho to perform at a fireside with Jenny Phillips
7. Partied all day and all night long while my parents decided to travel the country
8. Ran 1 mile......
9. Still haven't but soon will finish my last online class
10. Almost finished reading 3 books in a month. All time record considering I don't know how to read!

How can you resist this cute little face when it peers into your eyes?
Monday, I took Lexi and Cameron to walk around the Draper Temple grounds. I thought it might be fun to get out and enjoy the last few days of summer. Pretty sure she's not supposed to run on the grass but no one was around and she like weighs 10 pounds.

Brother and sister walking together

and smiling together
Lexi loving Cameron but Cameron's pretty much in a chokehold and it's all he can do to break free from his big sisters loving grip

What you lookin' at?

Smelling the flowers
The Rexburg Temple

Haley and I sang at a Fireside in Rexburg, Idaho last Sunday night so we stopped to see the temple before we drove home. It is so beautiful! Thanks for coming with me Haley!
The car ride to Idaho

Maquelle and I took a quick trip to George because we wanted to get away and get burned which is just what we did


Peace, love and happiness!

Lexi's already into her US Weekly magazines at age 3

Here is my BEAUTIFUL niece Gracie! I know my eyes are closed but this is just a priceless face of hers smiling and you've all seen my eyes open so many times so I figured I would put this one up of her because she is so adorable!

Happy Birthday Cameron!

My little Lexi~Lou
ALthough my Summer flew by and lots of things changed, it was an incredible one! Thanks to everyone who made it great! Can't wait for the next one!!!



NYC Trip

Finally I've put up pictures from my trip to New York last month! I put up a ton too so hopefully all your cravings will be satisfied. Unfortunately I spent all my time uploading the pictures in the backwards order of my trip so their not in order of the days I went but I figure, none of you will care or no the difference so here is a witness I'm still alive this summer!
Haley, Me, Siri and Michael at a delicious restaraunt called Tremonti's. They had the best 3 cheese past i've ever had! And thank you to Siri and Michael for letting us crash at their place for 5 days!!!
This is the church where the DaVinci Code was filmed.

To those who diligently prayed, crossed fingers, and sang chants on my behalf....I say to you THANK YOU!

I FINALLY saw WICKED on BROADWAY and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!

I cried!

I also saw The Little Mermaid which was fantastic too!
