Demolition derby

The Utah county fair this year was held in Spanish Fork, so of course we had to go down and check it out. For the most part it we were unimpressed, but we bought tickets to the demolition derby and stayed for it.

I'm so glad we did! For anyone who's ever been to one, you know how it is. It was so entertaining! not only was it fun to watch the cars smash each other to smithereens but the people-watching was superb- just like something you'd see on tv. We saw rednecks of all kinds; mullets, snaggle-teeth, you name it- I swear we saw Joe Dirt himself there! I wish I had taken pics just of the people too, it was hilarious!This was the Powderpuff round. This woman spiffed her car up to be Nemo:)

We sat in front of Boston, Jed's cousin's baby. He is SO cute... Check out his earplugs!

The women were by far the most aggressive drivers. At one point they had to stop the whole event, bring out the EMT's an paramedics to pull this poor lady out of her car that had been flipped over and smashed flat by another lady.

This is definitely a tradition in the making! We had so much fun cheering for our favorites and cracking up at all of the people we saw and their reactions to the excitement!

Vegas, baby

We had so much fun down in Vegas over July 4th weekend. We got tickets to Cirque du Soleil, which was AWESOME. I highly reccommend seeing one of their shows. It's worth the $90 dollars! We also did some swimming (Jed drowned his cell phone in the pool), lots of shopping, and of course eating ourselves silly at Hard Rock cafe, the Cheesecake factory, and Rainforest Cafe. Mmm... My family is a bunch of night owls like me so we stayed out people watching till midnight every night and it was so entertaining!

Happy Birthday Bradley!

Ok, so it was last week, but in the rush to get ready for the cruise I hadn't gotten around to getting pics on the computer. I love my dad so much; he's the greatest! All of us girls have always had a good relationship with him and he's so patient to put up with all of the estrogen and emotion that comes with living with four women. I admire the relationship he and my mom have, I've never heard them really fight. My mom and I always comment on how lucky we got. He cooks, grocery shops, does yardwork, you name it. We've definitely been spoiled. Happy birthday dad, I love you!

Cruising with the office...

I've been sucked in again.

My sister Mckenzi read this series and passed them along to me. I've heard them be compared to the Twilight series, maybe because they're quick and easy to read; it's geared towards younger people, and it's all fantasy just like Twilight. Beyond that I can't tell how similar they are yet since I just finished the first one.

When I get started on a book I'm the type that has to hurry up and read all 500 pages in like 4 days. Jed probably thinks I'm such a loser cause I come home from work and plop myself on the bed and read all night long; I've got a one-track mind I think. I'm trying to stretch it out a little so I can bring them on the cruise next week, but I hope they last that long!

Spring Break

I'm a bad blogger! I wish I knew how to add all of the cool stuff I see on other people's sites but I'm too dumb and by the time I get around to posting I don't even care to learn at that point...

Spring Break was nice to have time to just do nothing. We stayed home a lot, went to my parents for dinner, played guitar hero with my sisters, (well I tried to play anyway.. it's so hard for me!) and just hung around.

I had my knee scoped on Thursday, so it was good to have the time off to try and recover. I still feel like I have a tree trunk down there instead of a leg, but hopefully things will get better day by day. It's hard not being able to do stuff on my own like go up steps or drive, but I'm crossing my fingers I'll be doing those things soon.

I hope everyone enjoyed their breaks and got some sunshine!
