JOURNEY Concert

We saw Journey, Foreigner and Night Ranger in concert this week. It was pretty awesome to say the least and we had such a great time! It was fun singing along to every song (except I didn't know Journey's new songs) and of course sneaking up to the front to get as close to them as possible! I'm so glad I can say that I have seen Journey live in concert. What an amazing experience! They truly are (classic rock) legends (minus Arnel- sorry but you're not Steve Perry). Thanks for taking me Babe- I loved it! 

 

Nothing Much

 We've had a pretty low key summer thus far. Lots of swimming, playing outside, and hanging at the park. Last month, Brooklyn had her first sleepover here at our house, with her friend, Kira. The girls were so excited to try and stay up until midnight but they only made it to 1030 and 11 :) A few weeks ago my brother, Taylor, came to stay for a few days. We went to Park City and rode the Alpine Slide and had a backyard camp out with our neighbors one night. Last weekend we went up to our family cabin in Bear Lake but in our hurry to get on the road I forgot my camera. So there are no pics of the girls at the lake or riding four wheelers this time. Hopefully next month will hold some better/more exciting activities for us (and pics for you)...

 

  

Lola still loves to be naked when playing outside. I figure as long as were in the backyard, who cares?! And she's a cute little naked monkey :)

Her hair is getting so long (just about to her shoulder blades)! It's time for another cut so we can finally give it some shape.

 

Fourth Of July Fun

We had a fun Fourth this year. We went to a breakfast that morning then to Park City for a parade and some festive activities and watched fireworks from the park next to our house that night.

I've never made festive treats for the Fourth before so I tried my hand at 2 this year- Red, White and Blue cupcakes

and Red, White and Blue fruit pizza (which was super yummy and you can get the recipe from OurBestBites.com (btw)).

We found ourselves the perfect spot to watch fireworks and were able to see 2 sets going on at the same time plus a few smaller ones from around the valley as well. It was quite the show and we are excited to have found this awesome spot (that we plan to return to for many more years :)

Lola has a love/hate relationship with fireworks. She gets scared of them and covers her eyes (or her mouth like so) but she also can't take her eyes off of them! It was pretty funny to watch- she'd cover her eyes but then hurry and take her hands away to ooooh and ahhhh over them. I wonder how she'll feel about them next year?!

Happy Fourth to our friends and family! We hope you also had a great day celebrating :)
