4th of July and CELEBRATION DAY!

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! I just love it because it is so relaxing and you can do whatever the heck-fire you want to! I am also so grateful to live in this free country, I feel so very blessed! One of my biggest dreams of my lifetime is to fix up an old house and put a flag and a flagpole in the front yard with lights shining on it! Ahh! I would just love that!


My roommates and I woke up on the fourth of July and started getting ready for a fun-filled day. We all got in our red, white, and blue outfits, painted our toenails, and did our hair all fancy! Then we went to the parade. After an hour and a half I got tired of the parade so I went home and started working on this masterpiece. It was my first attempt at fruit pizza and I felt like it was a success.

FUNNY STORY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!
At the parade, we were standing behind this guy that was so funny. You know those people in the parade who carry the banners before the float? Well this guy wanted to make their job seem important and exciting, so every time they would walk by he would yell out, "Turn the Banner! Turn around!" He would keep yelling it until the people would make a 360 turn with their banner. It made everyone smile, especially the banner holders!.

On our way to the store for one of our famous popsicle picnics!

One of my friends invited us to go play softball with him and a bunch of other guys! I thought this was a perfect time to sport the converse shoes! I even played in the Statue of Liberty glasses. I thought they might help me hit the ball, but no such luck!

Celebration Day!

On Monday, my roommates and I dedicated the whole day to celebration! It was such a fun day! We were celebrating myself taking a hard, necessary step in my life and Michelle's birthday which is coming up on the 16th. We went to the temple in the morning, ate the yummiest sandwiches at Einstein Bagel, took pictures in a photo booth, ate at Macaroni Grill, longboarded at the park, and jumped off a hill and took pictures!

If you are wondering who took this picture, I will tell you! We put me and Ashlee's longboards on top of each other, and set the camera on a timer. We pushed the button, ran up the hill, waited for the light to stop blinking and jumped! (Let me just say that we didn't get it on our first try, or our second, or our third, etc :)

Ashlee just loves her greens!

Michelle just loves her sweets!

We had four deserts at the Macaroni Grill. It was ridiculous. It was only forty cents more to get a salad and a desert with our meal, so of course we all did it! Michelle also got a cake for her birthday.

Sometimes when you roll down hills, you run into each other. Ashlee and Michelle experienced this! We had the most fun day ever! Thanks girls!

Show Bikes!

The other day I was driving down the road and I came upon this bus that said CAUTION BIKES AHEAD! I immediately thought of the comedian Brian Regan and just started laughing. Ashlee was driving and I made her maneuver around cars so I could get this picture!! Like Brian Regan I thought to myself, "Ohhhh, 10 and 2, we're sharing the road with bikes, if I lose control I'll hit one of these cars with people!" Haha!
Here is a link to Brian Regan's Show Horses, if you want to know what I am laughing about!

Another funny story!

The other day Ashlee and I went on the BYU campus to run an errand but we didn't know where the building was that we needed to be in. We decided to go into the building we were by and ask where the building was that we needed to be in. Well this monsterous man held open the door for us and we thanked him. We went over to this desk and asked the lady there where this building was. Well this man came over in the same general area and people in the building started flocking around him. They were shaking his huge hands and saying they were so glad to meet him. Me and Ashlee kind of looked at each other like, who is this guy? We were standing right by him so he shook our hands also. We then left and were left to question which famous person we just shook hands with! It was so funny. We looked on the internet and our best guess was that he was Thurl Bailey. A retired basketball player for the Utah Jazz. So as Ashlee said, "We may or may not have shook hands with Thurl Bailey." He is 6'11" and has the biggest hands I have ever seen! Here is a picture of him!
