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

WHERE YOU GO I WILL GO

You always know when someone is going to giving you bad new. They sit you down and look at you with a sad/serious face. Then come the words you new you would hear, "I have some bad news".  And in your mind you are trying to figure out what could possibly be going on. Well as you probably guessed, this happened to me about a month ago. I was eating breakfast and Michael sat next to me and told me that he "had some bad news". I stopped eating and just stared at him waiting for the news,  but I had an idea of what he was going to say. I normally never get bad news and the look Michael had on his face told me everything. We were moving. Once it finally came from his mouth I burst into tears. He began to tell me that we would be moving to Tualatin, OR    Michaels Parents need his help with the Business in Oregon because it is doing so well.  He is needed so that the bus...

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A Weekend With Family & Friends

There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family. I cherish every moment I get with them. Never take time with your family for granted because you can never get that time back. I am the most  happy  when I am around family.   My goal this year is to try to be around family as much as I can because  those are the memories I want to remember the most. Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend with family and friends. .......... We got to go to the Ogden Raptors vs. the Idaho Falls Chuckers game with our friends Ben and Rachel As of lately Zupas soup, salad & sandwiches has become one of my favorite places to eat,  so before going to the game I made everyone eat at Zupas with me.  such good food!! Overall it was a really great time with our awesome friends. and of course I was cheering for the Chuckers... even though they lost. The girls got to come so it was fun having them ...
