Boise-Day 1 Party Time

The plane ride to Boise was freezing, it was a good thing I brought a jacket. As soon as I got my bag I went straight out to the sun. From the airport we headed to TJ Max, apparently Ash had gotten 4 new dresses there and so we had to go pick some out for Jamie. Its amazing to me how having other people tell you, 'oh that's cute', or 'yea that looks good' nfluences your purchase choice. I can go into about ten stores at home and not buy a thing, but put me in a dressing room with 3 of my friends and I walk out with two new outfits. Its probably a good thing my friends don't live near me cause I would be out of alot of money.

(you cant tell, but we are squished into a fitting room while Jamie is trying clothes on)

After shopping we headed to the bachelorette party, which was quite an experience. No one was able to answer my question about how we could be better prepared for the week after a honeymoon but it was alot of fun getting to see friends and laugh. Erica put on quite a show for us.

Some of the goods she got
One of my favorite parts of the day was coming home to see Gunnar and Shelby, I had been gone all day and didn't get to see them till that night. There is nothing like having kids run to hug you, they sure made me feel loved, I realized I had missed my kids in Eagle!

Beach Paradise

I'm not one to commit...... my life is evident of that. I was hesitant to go to San Diego for the 4th of July, but figured 'why not' onlya few days before we left. It ended up being a pretty awesome time and wished it was longer. Katie's condo was to die for and one of my favorite moments of the trip was getting to relax and watch some tennis. Don't worry the beach was pretty amazing too.

Taking the cruisers out was basically amazing, it was very vintage to me

The food at Joe's was disgusting, but the pop rock drink was the best thing ever, I would go back again and again for that!!! Easily my happiest moment for that day!



Balboa Park was fun until we lost Hadyn

I'm a Survivor

I love the show Survivor and the Reba song, so getting into the theme of camp seemed real easy to me. Most of the time I felt like I was just trying to survive getting caught by any leaders. I could def tell you what I hated about girls camp this year, but its hard to say what I loved most about girls camp. First and fore most would have to be falling asleep to the hum of Julianne's snoring every night, nothing gets better than that and I'm being dead serious. Everything else was just icing on the cake, like meeting a celebrity, playing with Mufasa, having rocks thrown at me, waking up everyone in our cabin every night, those kind of things just make camp an experience. Here are just a few pictures of me in sunglasses as much as possible because I just got lasik eye surgery....

Everyone was making fun of me for having to wear my goggles

This might be a new camp tradition

Sunrise

Waking up early is not my style, but every once in a while waking up is worth it, especially if you get to do something fun like wake skating. I didn't pull a 180 and it took me a few times to get up which was totally lame, but it was kind of fun messin around.
I ride even better when my life jacket is gigantic
Shredding so hard that I'm breaking my board! ha
Some of us had more trouble getting into the wakeboard Crazy Boys!

4th Year Hike

I wish doing the fourth year hike got easier each time I did it, but there are always new challenges. This year we tackled an outdoor bathroom, and by we I mean the boys. Besides driving back and forth to camp lo-mia like four times, everyone survived, so I called it a success.

Finally made it to Camp Lo Mia!!!

Taylor Swift with my BFF!!!

We had been talking about going to Taylor Swift for a long time. In my head I always thought it was on May 25. So I was driving home from work listening to the radio and the dj sounded like he was outside broadcasting at a concert. I immediatly got on my phone and looked on criagslist to see when the Taylor Swift concert was suppose to be in town. Sure enough it was that night. So from 4:30 to 6 o'clock I was on the phone and emailing people about tickets. We got some pretty great seats and the concert was amazing. I really wanted to go and see how bad Taylor Swift was in concert because on any award show I've seen she is horrible. But she was actually really really good, I was looking for her to mess up and didnt really hear anything, granted that was probably because Julia was singing so loud in my ear I couldnt really hear anything. The show reminded me alot of the first Reba concert I ever saw where she changed clothes 15 times and had 10 dancers. It was a great night and I was so thankful to get such a great deal on tickets!

Easter Pictures

It all started in San Diego when I bought a 5 dollar dress. It was super cute, and a size 2! It didnt really look like a size 2, but that didnt stop me from buying. 8 months later I finally got around to trying the dress on and it was more like a size 12! So I decided to try and fix it but Sleeves are alot harder than you think to fix.




This picture reminds me of Reba, sometimes she stands like this

This I think is the perfect picture of us, Casey looking GQ, Court trying, Billy laughing and me telling them all what to do.
