I Tried

This past week I attempted some of my baking and cooking skills.
One turned out awesome. The other not so much.
First I made these really simple chocolate pretzel square things.

Not my photo of course (thank you pinterest) but you get the idea.
They were perfect for our day a Seven Peaks on Saturday.

Second Pinterest idea was these, peanut butter cup brownies. Sadly didn't turn our so good.

I guess I saved myself the extra calories.

But I'm still looking froward to trying out new recipes and such in the future. 

Something to Dye for

So I think I have a new hobby/craft. Dyeing.

It's so much fun, it's cheap and turns out awesome!!!

I'm so glad that Camie had this idea and that Lexi knew how to do it! It was a fun thing to do with the gals:)

Before...

After!!

I loved how they turned out!! I haven't put together a cute outfit for it besides just a black t-shirt, which is what I do when nothing is going on. But don't worry I've got some accessories and what not to complete the package. If I remember to take a picture of it I will...

Foster Fun

I have one important thing to say at the beginning of this post...
I'm so in love with Foster the People. I mean of course I loved them before the concert, but now my love has gone to new heights. The concert was absolutely amazing!!! Mark Foster has an amazing voice.
The night was epic. Dinner with Sara and James, and my wonderful date Lex was so much fun!! I was extremely depressed that Aust couldn't come. It was his birthday present after all, but he is doing something extremely important for our future, so what do you do?
But back to FTP...Lex and me had so much fun! We got a good spot in the crowd and we were loving every minute! Kimbra and Mayer Hawthorne performed and they were great too! I have discovered some new great music!
When they came out though it was incredible!!!

 My camera isn't the best, but we were pretty close!

 This video is when they sang Pumped Up Kicks as the end! He sounded so good and it was just an awesome moment.

 Miss you. He sounded really good on this one and well really all of them.

Mark came over to our side a few times and holy cow we were freaking out!!!!!
It was a grand night!! I got some new music, fell more in love with FTP and especially Mark, and I have fun :)

Dixie Drive

We made it!! I have officially gone on 2 road trips this year! It was quite the trip getting there. On the way down to SG, as I sure you all know, there was a fire near Ceder City which made us take a detour road that made the trip an extra hour and a half!! Yeah it sucked! We didn't make it to our condo till around 10.
I was exhausted after that crazy drive. Luckily the next day we got to sleep in. We watched Austin's brother play b-ball, hanged by the pool and had a yummy BBQ!
The next day was our last day at the condo so we went to the last of Brayden's games, his team went all the way to the finals! Then us kiddos were on are own for the next 2 days. We checked in to our awesome hotel and then we did WHATEVER WE WANTED!!! It was heaven.
We went swimming, tanning, went to the movies, bowling, playing cards, eating good food and just relaxing. We all had a great time:) I will say one thing though, I don't think I ever want to share a bathroom with 3 guys EVER again...Yuck.
I'm really grateful for this little Va-ca that we went on. It was nice to forget about all the business and craziness that has been going on. Especially for Aust because now that he starts his new job today he is going to be working 2 jobs for the next 2 weeks because of his notice. He is such a great guy and I'm so proud of him.
So I'm pretty much on my own for the next little while. But I do have lots to get done in that space of time and of course #1 is finding a job...
