I did it!

I haven't posted anything for a long time....and for good reason. I have been SO busy with school....but I did it. I am a college graduate! My time and energy has FINALLY paid off and I can now say I have a Bachelor's Degree. Word.

My Heart is Broken.

I know sometimes I complain about my dog..but I love him. Well, I thought I would look at some dog pictures and I came across this one. Sad day:( I am glad that is not my dog. Poor thing!

August Monster Trucks

In the summer, we usually go through monster truck withdraws. After March, we don't see monster trucks until August at Rocky Mountain Raceway. We go with a lot of our family members. Aunts, cousins, siblings, 2nd cousins, and whoever else wants to go. It sure is fun. We usually dress up. So, we went as red-necks as usual, but with awesome glasses this time.

 I just thought Gray looked SO cute! Haha..he is just a little bad-A.

 This is my cousin Jenny, Aunt Karen, Cousin Kylee, and some of our family in the background.

 Me and my sister. I know, we are neat. Don't judge.

 The moon was super cool...and by moon...I mean SUN. There was a fire in Tooele.

 The body of the Big Foot trucks were bad ass. I really liked them. Here they are starting the race. 

We sit where the trucks make their turn. It get pretty intense because you think that you might get hit by a truck...but we don't. 

 And, this is the finish line. The orange one truck...unless this is only the first lap..in that case, I don't know. They usually do two laps around. So, lets just pretend this is the second lap.

 Yup, the orange truck won.

 Freestyle. We call this truck 'the other brother'. Our first year at Monster Jam, we met these twins that race. This is one of the brothers racing. They were both there. I think this truck is called "Double Trouble".

 Bounty Hunter. This is probably one of my favorite trucks. I just LOVE it. It is probably because I saw him once at ESA and his comments were funny...but it wasn't Jimmy driving, it was someone else. SO...I just like the truck even though I know the drivers are different.

 Free style air. Yeah buddy.

Now, this jump is tricky. This truck obviously made it over the jump. However, most of the other trucks thought they would take the jump from the other side. Well..the first truck (one of the brothers) took it and his truck got stuck. BUT, after some stuff, he was able to get free and finish the race. Well, apparently this means that men and their testosterone need to show other men that their trucks can make the jump. So, Maverick Monster Trakker tried...and failed. They had to get the tractor for him (I think) and one more truck maybe two tried this SAME JUMP THAT EVERYONE ELSE WAS GETTING STUCK ON AND THEY WOULD GET STUCK!! So, free style this year was lame. No one lost their tires, no one caught fire, no on popped tires, and no one crashed. They just got stuck on this stupid jump. Lame.

But, really, it was fun. AND, luckily for me, I was able to ride a monster truck the night before at the Salt Lake County fair because the ride truck couldn't make this even. 

Cabin TIme

I love going to Shelby's cabin. We were supposed to go to Disneyland..but that didn't happen...so we went to her cabin. As always, it was fun,

 We saw this boat. This has to be my favorite boat name I have ever seen. And, better yet, the boat is from Herriman. So, maybe I live by them.

 This year I thought it would be fun to go fishing. So, I bought a fishing liscence and brought a pole. Now...I don't fish...so I didn't really know what to do. And, to my surprise...I ACTUALLY CAUGHT A FISH. Well, if you want to see a picture of my fish...you wont. Shelby and I started to scream and then the fish fell off the hook and Shelby's first reaction was to throw the fish back in the water. So, I don't have a picture, but I do have a fish story. Her dad came one day with us too with their dog.

On our 4-wheeler ride, we found some bones...and then we found some more bones. So, basically we found a whole animal. It was gross. I am not the kind of girl that likes to see that kind of stuff...but that didn't keep me from taking a picture...

 This is the view from our ride. This place is SO pretty. I LOVE going up here. It is so peaceful and quiet. I don't have anything to worry about while I am there:)

Brutus and Dogs

My dog sure does make me angry, but I sure love him.

 H likes to sleep...on my bed. So, I am constantly washing MY bedding. I hope that when it gets cold, he wont shed as much. This other picture is of some pallets that we had taken apart to put on a wall as an accent wall. It has been a lot of work..but its looking good. Brutus was just there..so I added him in the picture.

Sometimes I take Brutus to the dog park...and there was with GIANT dog there named Thor. So, naturally, I had to take a picture.

28

So, I turned 28. This depresses me a bit because I feel SO old and like I haven't accomplished anything in my life. Oh well. So, I came home from school and on the fridge in the garage was this sign. Now, if you have been to my house, you know our garage is HUGE! I mean, five car huge...but for some reason, only one car parks in the garage. One part has a pool table, on part has my dad's work table and some 4-wheelers, one part had a camping trailer, and then my sister usually parks in the garage. So, this was her present to me. Haha...it was cute.

Fizz Fest

I work in the community of Day Break. They had a HUGE thing called FIZZ FEST where they had bands come, food trucks, and just things to attract people into Soda Row of Daybreak. Well...it would have been a big even...but then it rained. I took my nephew and niece and we had fun. And, by we...I mean, they had fun.

The kids got their faces painted. When the lady asked Gray about it, he said, "is it free" She told him it was, So, after, I told him to give her a dollar (that I gave him on the way over) and he said, "But I thought you said it was free".  Haha, smart kid. So, I ended up giving her a dollar for him. 

There was a dentist there and they had the play dough thing that the kids were able to play with. They had fun. Then, when it was time to go outside..even though it was still raining...the kids played on the splash pad and then they FROZE. So, we got in the car, turned on the heater, and went and bought pizza. I must say, I am a good aunt:)
