Take me out to the.... county fair...

...well, not really. We were pretty stoked about the fair (well, most of us), but it wasn't quite what we expected. Although it was pretty puny compared to the likes of Dickson (woot-woot!), we did manage to get ourselves sick (some from riding rides, others from eating too much) and have some fun :)

Right: The one picture I got of Laura (sorry Laura!). Note the cute woman in a red shirt and capris...

When Pigs Spoon!

Went to BYU for a visit...

...ran into a Pioneer?

I quit working at BYU (hooray!) at the end of May and yesterday I decided it was time to go back for the first time for a visit. I mean hey, maybe I seriously disliked the job, but I loved a lot of the people! Even oddballs like this... ;) (I think she is preparing for Pioneer day...)

The good, the bad, the ugly

These pictures just go to show... anyone can enter into the classic car parade in American Fork...

(look, it's Big Blue!)

(yes, that is a couch in the back...and a boat motor)

Furniture Shopping

Matt & I decided we might want to "invest" in a bedroom set... after looking through a lot of catalogs and browsing the store, we decided on this one - what do you think?

Freaky Friday

Friday the 13th... fact or fiction? Matt may not have had anything happen to him, but I had my fair share! Without going into all the little mishaps, the best one was when I FELL in the MUD! Luckily I managed to end up in crouching position (saving my knees), but here is a sample of the event :)

Wyoming

With the intent to paint, I only took a pair of basketball shorts and a grubby tshirt to Wyoming the other weekend... needless to say, I didn't end up helping with the hay. Not to worry, Matt did enough work for both of us :) Here are some fun pictures from the trip - including some from a hike up the Canyon w/Linda & Garrett!

Touring Utah & Beyond

Aunt Becky & Aunt Susan came into town for a few days this week and it was great! I think Sammy entertained them the majority of the time at the house (hiding under Aunt Becky's dress, being silly, and showing his wild side :o/ ). We got the chance to go to Temple Square and even eat a roll from the Lion House (yummmmm). Now they're off to Zions, St. George, The Grand Canyon, Aunt Sarah's, and who knows where else! The sky is the limit! :)

The night we set the sky on fire

Happy -belated- Fourth! We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and didn't set anything on fire! We had a fabulous celebration including a delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel, swimming, the driving range, a fabulous BBQ (way-to-go Matt with the babyback ribs), and note worthy fireworks (compliments of the best spot in Provo). P.S. it is really hard to get a good picture of a firework.
