Idols in SLC

My mom called me at work last Wednesday and said "Shane got free tickets to the American Idol concert tonight.  Do you want to go with me?"  I was stoked!  Last seasons was the fist season I watched American Idol faithfully.  Cody and I loved Scotty from day one.  The concert was so much fun!

You can't really tell what is going on in the pictures below, but at least it's Proof that I was really there.

 Love Paul!!!

Scotty!

What a blast!  SLC was their first stop on their summer 2011 tour.  I thought all the Idols were Excellent this season and they were even better in concert.   Thanks Shane!!!

Independence Day- Delta Style

Not the cutest picture- But we had fun trying :)

Playing in the water

I got to play in the Annual Delta Volleyball tournament with Brooke's friends.  Brooke was going to play too, but got food poisoning, so she had an upset stomach all day :(  We didn't take the ship, but I had a blast, even though I was a little rusty.

The water looks like this EVERY Sunday morning!  The only day we do not go out on the lake... very tempting.  Also, check out the new 28' dock!  My dad, Cody, and some youth from the ward worked hard on it.

The Wake Surf.  We are going to get it down this year!  So far no one has been able to surf without the rope.  If you have any tips, please let us know.

Sami trying out the trainer skis 

We made it back to Grantsville in time for Brynlee and Caden's birthday party and fireworks

Happy Fourth of July!!!

...Tri...

Last weekend I participated in the Tater-Tot Triathlon my parents host at their house.  I didn't do much training, but I thought it would be fun to "Tri".  Most of the athletes that participate do triathlons all summer long and are in tip-top shape.  There are a few like me that just want to get a good work out.  It was fun and very motivating for me to do better!

 Everyone getting ready

 First we swam 250 M in the Lake

 Then rode 12 miles and finished off by running a 5K

After is the BBQ... Winner has to cook!

Always a good time!  My parents know how to have a fun party.

Happy Dad's Day

 Check out Dad's new "HAIR"

 Cody and Shane in their new hoodies.

The men got put to work on Fathers' Day but they did finish installing Treasa's new cabinets

Wedding Bells

Our good friends Lacey and Bryan were Married in the Manti Temple over the holiday weekend.  We were so excited for the Temple invitation!  It was fun to go back to good 'ole Ephraim with Cody.  On our way there we were delayed by these...

I had forgotten about the sheep herding that goes on.

This is a picture taken while I was attending school at Snow in 2006

The sealing ceremony was beautiful!  We were so glad to be there with our good friends

 And after the day's celebrations Cody got a tour of Ephraim... This is G33... my home, while he was in Indiana.

Packsize

If you have ever asked me where I work I have probably given you an unsatisfactory answer assuming you didn't want to hear the long answer.  Packsize really is super cool!  We have been asked to help spread the word about Packsize, so check out our youtube.com channel and watch some of the short videos.

Happy Birthday CODY!!

I wanted to wish my sweet husband a Happy Birthday!  This post comes about a month late...better late than never.

I did not give Cody as wonderful of a birthday as he gave me a few months ago.  I had strep throat so I was not much of a partier.

I LOVE this excited face even though he knew just what he was getting.

We had cake and ice cream with these Perkins Boys, Grandpa, Dad, and Son.

Cody is SO awesome and I am so blessed to have him as my Husband!  

He has worked so hard on our new house.  He loves to have a project.

One day he painted this old lamp for me, I LOVE it.

Here is one more thing I love about Cody... The picture below is dinner we had the other night, we made out own Nacho's... guess whose is whose... 

That's right... Cody's piece of art is on the left and my (just as delicious) mess on the right.  His perfectionism really is just what I need.  We compliment each other very well, he helps me take a little more pride in what I do, and I help him not sweat the small stuff so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!  I LOVE YOU!!!
