St. George with the Taylors

We went with some of our good friends the Taylors to St. George in June. We went for the weekend and had a great time.  We drove down on a Thursday and stayed at my parents condo.  Josh had to work Friday and the rest of us stayed at the condo and went swimming.  It was really hot so the pool was the only thing that we could do.  The boys loved it and wore them selves out from swimming so hard!




Friday night we went and ate at The Pizza Factory.  It is always the favorite place to eat while we are down there. I love their salad bar and bread sticks.  The kids favorite part about eating there is playing on the firetruck that is outside.



Will and Hunter



Drake and Hunter are just a couple months apart in age.  They are good little friends and have a great time playing together.  And look how stinkin cute they are!





I love this girl! I always have a good time when I am with her, and she makes me laugh so hard.  I am grateful to have her as my friend and am so glad that she moved into our ward so that I could get to know her!




I love that cute family of mine!


The Taylors.  They are one of the coolest families I know!



Stella's new shades.  Tessa and I went shopping Friday and I picked these up at the outlets. I love them!





After The Pizza Factory we went to Nielsen's for ice cream (another stop that is a must).



Friday night we put the kids to bed and the four of us just stayed up late and watched TV and talked.


Saturday the boys woke up and went golfing.  We hung out at the condo and then we all went swimming.  The kids loved it and it was nice because we had both of the dads there to swim with the boys so Tessa and I could lay out.








After the pool we got ready and went to a movie.  We went and saw Monsters University.  I ended up out in the hall with Stella the whole time cause she was being awful, but the boys loved it!


After the movie we went and ate at Smashburger and then came back to the condo and did fireworks for the little kids.







That night after we put the kids to bed, we did the same thing and just hung out and watched a movie.


On Sunday morning we woke up and got everything cleaned up and then we to eat at the Bear Paw for breakfast and drove home.



We had a great time and we're so glad that the Taylor's came with us down there.  We had a great time with them and are so glad that they are our friends!

Driving Range Fun

Josh loves to golf and he is really good at it.  I wish that I was good at golf.  I get to impatient and get sick of hitting it terrible every time... but... there is that one time that I hit it good and it tides me over until the next time I hit it good.  I think golf is a good sport to play because it is something you can do until you are really old and it is something that you and your spouse can do together.  So with that said, we have been a few times this summer.  One night we went with the Kunz's.  It was fun to get out and practice our golfing skills. 


Drake enjoyed it and thought it was pretty fun when his dad helped him cause it would go far.



Stella just looked cute while we hit some balls.


Drake barefoot, using a putter, with a tee and hitting it the wrong way!



Josh is a good teacher and is so patient.  I wish I was good enough to keep up with him on 9 holes.


Drake and Audrey are cute little friends.


All of the kids got sick of golfing and migrated to some shade and watched a show on the phone.

Pretty Little Liars Party


Pretty Little Liars is an awesome show on ABC Family and I am totally addicted to it and love everything about it.  It is a show about a group of 5 high school girls and one of them ends up missing and then later they find her body.  Her name is Allison and when they find the body the other four girls start getting creepy text messages from A.  They have no idea who it is and not only do they get text messages but other messages are sent in different ways and they have scary things happen to them and those close to them.  They have secrets that they can't let get out and "A" knows all of them and keeps black mailing them into doing things that "A" wants them to do.  It is a scary show with a lot of drama.  I threw a party for the Season 3 Premiere. It was so much fun. I sent out a text message as the invite and of course signed it as if it were coming from A.  I sent other random text messages leading up to the party.


I had different parts of my house decorated and tried to make it as creepy as possible. This sign was on my front door.


I dressed up as A.  I had this written on my bathroom mirror.


There was an episode in season 2 that was so scary and it had to do with dolls.  I got these old dolls from my grandma's house and it totally made it more creepy with them staring at us while we watched the show.


Hefty Hannah's Order.





There were a lot of people who dressed up as the "A Team".  It was a fun night and I am glad I have such cool friends who will party with me.
