Lochlan's Surprise Party

Yesterday was Ty's cousin Lochlan's birthday so the family all got together for a Hawaiian surprise party!

I actually got to see Ty for more than an hour yesterday! He left his studying a little early so he could come to the party. (I am a chemistry widow these days)The night ended off with a huge rock band party! (This picture was taken at a previous rock band party, but you get the idea.) We all had a lot of fun! Happy Birthday Loch!

A Fun Saturday

Me and Ty had a fun Saturday. It's the first Saturday we've been in town for a while so it was nice to just be home! We went up to Midway to help my freshman roommate Danielle move. Her and Steve have a very cute apartment! On our way back down Provo canyon we met Ty's family at Vivian Park and went fishing. Luckily we had our longboards in our trunk so we decided to longboard the rest of the way down the canyon. It was a gorgeous day and not too hot! That evening we decided to go play tennis! Ty's mom and grandpa came up a little later and played doubles with us. Ty's grandpa is a pro so I got to be on his team (since I'm not much of a pro) Even with my lack of experience we were able to beat Ty and his mom, I was very proud!

4th of July!

Our 4th of July started out on the streets of Provo saving spots for the parade! Me and Ty have both been doing this since we were kids so it is a fun tradition. It is so funny to see all the people out on the street hanging out all night long. A few years ago when me and Ty shared one sleeping bag and slept on the cement we decided the actually sleeping part isn't the funnest anymore. We lasted until about 3am this year.
Autumn must of wore Ty out because he fell asleep right after this!

Autumn and Alyssa made it the whole night, way to go! I went home and got a few hours in my bed before I came back for the parade.

After the parade we went to the park for my Aunt Jen's annual 4th of July party. It was fun to see family and eat lots of yummy food!

After that we went to Ty's family party. All the girls got cute matching 4th of July shirts!

We ended our 4th of July by going to the Provo temple to watch the firworks on the grass. I love fireworks! We could even hear Miley singing a little bit from the stadium! We really are the luckiest ever to live in such an amazing country! Happy 4th of July!

Ty turned 26!

Ty is 26! He is so old! It was kind of sad because he had to get up early to go to class, take a chemistry test and then go straight to work. (Luckily he did very well on his chem test so he was very happy!) I woke up early with him and made him waffles before he went to school and let him open his presents!

When Ty got home from work we went to Red Robin for his birthday dinner.

When Ty's fam came over I was trying to be extra sneaky so I went into the house to light the candles on the cake. After like 20 minutes of trying to get all the candles lit and half of the candles almost completely melting into the cake, I walked outside all proud of myself. I took one step out the door and one little breeze blew all the candles out that I had worked so hard to light! I was so sad! So Ty is pretending to blow out candles in this picture.

Tra and Keo were so cute, they made him birthday signs and hung them up all over the walls.

Happy Birthday Missy!

I started off the summer super depressed because I wasn't in Idaho but I am turning out to have one of the funnest summers ever! I decided maybe it's because I don't have a job and I get to play all the time! Either way, I'm having a lot of fun being around Ty's family because they are always doing fun stuff. On Tuesday it was Ty's cousin Missy's birthday so we went out to pizza factory for lunch and went shopping. That night we got to go to the lake! Poor Ty couldn't come because he was studying chemistry. Though he was greatly missed we still had a lot of fun!

Alyssa, Missy, Andi and I all managed to fit on the tube!


Autumn was professial at holding the flag (even though her mom called her slightly retarded)

I think Tallon might be the slightly retarded one!

Country Concert

After flying all day long Monday Ty and I were super exhausted but we also had tickets to a concert that started like right when we walked in our door. Neither of us felt like going but we went anyways and we were so glad! We got to see Josh Gracin, Collin Ray and Joe Nichols. It was so much fun because Ty and I were able to squeeze up to the front and we were like 10 feet from the stage! I love being up at the front because you can freak out and dance and scream and everybody else is doing it too. At one point Josh Gracin ran through the crowd and Ty gave him a high five and I touched his arm!!! They all were awesome live and it was fun because we knew most of the songs and could sing along. Joe Nichols was particularly cute! The night ended with fireworks to celebrate UVSC becoming Utah Valley University. (I guess I can be a fan since my husband does go there and it is where he spends most of his life these days since he is taking Chemistry over the summer and studies like 10 hours a day!) Sadly, our camera's battery was dead after New York so I didn't get any pictures :(
