Happy Birthday dear Hutch, Happy birthday to you

Today is my Hutchie's birthday, and man do I miss him. Kara, his wife, posted a sweet tribute for him in the Salt Lake Tribune. Read it here

Hutch, we miss you so much. But as Kara said, thank you for sending that sweet little girl down to earth. I love her to pieces. She looks so much like you, I can not wait to see how many other of your qualities she has. xoxo

Lets get together, yea yea yea!

I can not believe it is already they middle of August. I really don't want September to come. I love long sunny days, hours at the pool, Saturdays spent at the lake, and warm summer night concerts. It seems like summer is flying by and while it feels like I haven't done much, looking back this has been a great summer.

Mom and Dad came into town for the week and we got to go boating up at Deer Creek. Chris and his family came, along with uncle Carl, and Uncle Steven, Cashia, and Rob too. Even though we had to be on the boat the whole time (no beaching allowed in the rental) it was surprising fun and not too cramped.

Uncle Steven and Presley bonded

I did not like this tube. I got whiplash. But at least I got in the water :)

Went bowling one night in Park City with some of the group I met down at Lake Powell this year.

Jodie and I sporting some super sweet bowling socks! (I still really love my heart bowling shoes)

Our winning team!

Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum came to Usana, we decided the day of we wanted to go. We made some calls and got 4 tickets for free, we needed 8. The concert was sold out so we missed lady A, but managed to find a scalper just in time to get in for Tim McGraw. I forgot how great he is live. It was so fun!!!

Toss it up, tease it, run your fingers through it

Im a little freaked out...look how light my hair is

You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Ever have those days where you just dont want to get out of bed? Well that was me today, I wanted to stay in my sweats, in my big comfy bed, watching disney movies, and cuddling with me cat. Now maybe I should be embarrassed for admitting to that but that is all I could think about today. Dont worry I am not depressed, just having one of those days

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

I guess I have been MIA for a bit. I keep starting posts but for some reason am not putting any of them up. I feel like I have nothing to talk about but I must be busy because the weeks keep rushing by. Is it really the middle of August?! How did that happen???
I am loving my summer but I really miss the days when I was in school and summer meant long lazy days at the pool, family vacations and no responsibilities (well except summer reading list).
