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).

All day long just takin it easy

I love Lake Powell. My goal has been to have 1 powell trip a year and even though it was last minute, I was lucky enough to spend July 4th at Lake Powell. I barely knew anyone who was going but I had met 2 of the guys on the singles cruise this past Jan and one of the girls, Jodie, I have just gotten to know through mutual friends. There were 19 of us total and it was incredibly chill and had to be the most perfect powell trip I have ever been on. Everyone was chill and the weather was perfect, hot at night and cool in the evenings. Now I have a beautiful tan and a handful of new friends. I swear, lake powell is the best place in utah.
Jodie and I on the first day at the marina
1 of the speedboats we had and 2 of the girls out on the paddle boards. These were SO MUCH FUN!!! As soon as I have storage space I am getting me one of those
This is Kevin, the owner of the speed boat and one of the guys I met on the cruise

All the girls on the last day (well the last day for 5 of us, the others were lucky enough to stay until wed)

If you think you might come to California...i think you should

I was lucky enough to go home at the end of May to house sit while my parents were in Europe. Had a chance to catch up with some high school friends and my friend Lynsey came for about a week.

My huge obsession has to be Pinkberry, the best frozen yogurt I think I have ever had.

I even made it up to San Fran a few times. Doesnt this fruit look delicious?!
Peony's have to be one of my all time favorite flowers, Can you believe how beautiful these are?

On our last day we went to Santa Cruz to enjoy the sun and sand before heading back to utah (it snowed while I was gone)

Lynsey had never been to San Francisco so we went out to dinner, dancing, saw all the sites, and even managed to squeeze in a showing of Wicked. It was so fun, just wish we had had more time

I sure do love the Bay Area. It was the perfect mini vacation, minus puppy getting sick. Thanks for going out of town mom and dad! I will stay at Hotel Hammond anytime you are gone!

Pour some sugar on me...

because I LOVE sugar. Even when I was skinny and a gym rat I still would allow myself a treat at least once a week. So I am puzzled and frustrated when I hear a friend of mine won't eat sweets...Im just not sure how well that all fits into my life. Am I wrong?! Maybe because I like baking and trying new dessert recipes, I need to surround myself with people that will happily try my experiments or sit down next to me and grab a spoon while i dig in. Maybe this is silly but it has me thinking. Could you survive without sweets???

Oh Baby baby!

Well once again, a friend of mine passes another milestone in life way before me. Another one of my friends had her baby!!! Congrats to KC and Ashton Grewal!!! Holland Katherine Grewal (baby wise grey owl) was born on friday June 18th. I still haven't heard her grand entrance story but im sure it is a great one.

KC, I am so excited for you and can not wait to meet Holland. She looks so much like you. And her eyebrows are perfect. Love ya Kace!!

And every word is nonsense but I understand

Thanks to KC for being my inspiration she has been using song lyrics as blog titles and now that Kim has joined in, I decided I would too...I cant be the only one left out. So if "every word is nonsense", you should understand it is most likely from a song!

Preview of Lola

Here are a few of the pictures from Lola's 1 yr photo shoot. She is so cute but man, once we gave her that sucker she was a true stinker and kept turning her back to me. I think she thought I would take it away...

This note was delivered to our table the other night...

Good to meet you ____, I just spent $24.73 on quite a bit of average food. BUT, I would LOVE to spend at LEAST that on YOU, next week. OR we could keep it simple and spend $4.53 on some frozen yogurt and a scooter ride :)
Anyway, your smile is perfect and your friends probably are too. Do you think I am cute?
__ yes
__ no

This was not delivered to me fyi...can you guess what town we were in?!
