A Little Catching Up To Do!

The past little while has been pretty busy for me, so I haven't spent time updating my blog at all! Since my last post was about running for National Office, I guess I better share the news! I was able to receive the candidacy as Utah's Candidate, which means I will be representing the state at the National Convention in Indianapolis in October. It's a pretty rigorous process but I'll keep you updated! I'm going to post about the 4th of July but stay in tuned for more posts on my other fun weekend adventures so far this summer!

I love the month of July. I love the fireworks, picnics and warm weather! This past 4th of July weekend was especially fun, and I don't think I could have topped Friday. It started out by going fishing with a good friend first thing in the morning. Afterwords we had a fun family picnic at Mack Park.

It's such a fun park and days like that make me so grateful to live where I do. We spent quite a few hours just sitting around and chatting, playing a little baseball, and watching Landon and Clay wrestle :) I think it surprised Clay that Landon could almost take him! It used to be that Clay could flip him around in 2 seconds flat! I think we can all agree that Landon is turning into quite the strong, and handsome, I might add, young man.



Ella and Dylan are such fun little kids to be around. I never get bored when I'm with them, that's for sure! It's been such a fun summer getting to know their little personalities more and more. Grandma is so fun with them too. She just loves her little grandkids!!




After a fun time with the family at the park, I headed off to a BBQ with a bunch of friends. We had a good time watching the fireworks at Romney Stadium.



After the fireworks 3 of my friends and I headed up High Creek Canyon for a campout. My friend and I set up camp the night before so we had a nice place reserved and ready to go! I'm pretty sure it's the nicest little campspot in the whole valley! We were very proud :)

Our friend Kyle had a very clever little way to cook breakfast. Toaster's Strudel in a Coleman Toaster. Who'd of thought?

We woke up the next morning and went on a drive to the trailhead of the High Creek Lake hike, which is SO beautiful. Angela used to take me up there when I was in Jr. High and let me tell you, it is gorgeous!

Smelling like campfire, looking like hobos, and wearing really cute clothes, we headed over to the little fair at Lewiston. They've always had a fun 4th celebration. That night we went out again for the fireworks and then the weekend was over! All in all it was one of the funnest 4th holidays I've had yet!
