Huntsman's Firework Celebration

For the past 4 years John Huntsman has put on an amazing
firework show for the 4th of July in Driggs, Idaho
my home town.

It always happens the Saturday before the 4th because 
he is really good friends with the Melaleuca guy who puts on 
the firework show in Idaho Falls, Idaho on the 4th.

I have been fortunate enough to make it to all 4 shows and Michael has been to 3.
Every year the firework show gets better and better.

Being locals we have figured out that if you go early in the morning you can rope off 
a section for you family.  Instead of waiting tell 4 o'clock and maybe not getting a good spot.

So needless to say we got an awesome spot.


After setting up we all had a family breakfast at my grandmas and then headed
over to my cousins to find out where he is headed to for his mission.




After he opened his mission call we headed to Huntsman Springs.

we got there at 4 and they had a talent show going on.
It came down to two people, a guy who beat boxed and a girl who sang.
we got to break the tie by sending in a text. with or vote I voted for the girl 
because she has such a pretty voice and she did end up winning.

Well it so turned out that on sunday we had 2 people lined up to take back to Utah 
and the girl that won the talent show happened to be one of them.
What are the odds haha.

Well after the talent show we headed up to the food vendors and got in line for
some roasted corn covered in mayonnaise, parmesan, and lime chile powder.

It sounds completely disgusting, but trust me it is the most delicious thing to have at a
 concert, fair or farmers market(that is where they normally have them).



Beautiful day.


Beautiful view of the Tetons that night.


Oh Halie!

........

Once we got back to our spot the piano wars started.  
They had us text them songs we wanted to hear.

Once of my favorite things to do is to just sit and relax and listen to music.
The piano pieces were beautiful and they played so many fun songs.

Next up was the BEACH BOYS!!
This is there second year coming and I was definitely okay with that!
Their music is perfect to listen to in the summer, especially sense 
we are headed to cali in a few day, so it definitely got us in the mood to get to the beach.

Once it got dark enough the firework show began.

in between the fireworks going off they had a slide show going.
It was about our great country and how we fought for our freedom 
and also a tribute to the soldiers who fought for us.

Seriously it is one of THE best 4th of July tributes I have ever seen!

Over all we had a pretty amazing Saturday in Driggs with all of my amazing family!

I was able to record all of the firework show in clips, so enjoy

Two Down and Eternity to Go

    This year we decided to do something simple for our anniversary  All I knew for this anniversary is that we were going to eat somewhere in downtown Salt Lake.   To my surprise I have the most brilliant husband ever because he took me to my most favorite restaurant ever!!    Cheesecake Factory!  Don't ask me why, but it is the best restaurant ever! I know you might be thinking.  "wow this girl is crazy",  but just trust me nothing can beat The Cheesecake Factory.   My favorite's there are:  Avocado eggrolls and sweetcorn tamale cakes for appetizers.   For the dinner plate their garlic noodles with shrimp and some parmesan on top.  Then of course for dessert I love love love there ultimate red velvet cheesecake and their Oreo one is pretty good as well. Anytime we go somewhere new and they have a cheesecake factory we have to go.   It is my goal to go to as many as I can in my li...

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...
