Sunshining down, the pool cooling down your skin, everyone's laughing. How can swimming on a beautiful summer day not be perfect? We even busted out the underwater camera... Moapa has the best illegal fireworks. Saying I'm excited for the 4th of July would be an understatement. Every time I walk into the living room, I see this huge box and two lighters sitting next to them and my mind just goes bonkers. I start thinking about the parade saturday, how we'll be lighting these puppies off in 4 days. I can't wait. One thing I love about utah is that it celebrates the 4th twice. What I mean is the 24th, pioneer day. It's just like the 4th. Fireworks. BBQ'S. Parades. Fun.
Romeo. Cutest thing ever.
Little brother. Man this kid just keeps growing up. I swear we look more and more alike every month. He's such a stud, and growing up to be such a sweet young man..
You know how you listen to a song and it completely makes your day?
I do. Music has been doin that to me lately. I really like it.
"Love like Crazy" by Lee Brice, is a real goood one.
These are the lyrics that get me:
"Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I Love You
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common since
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy"
When I'm married I want to overuse I love you, and pray with my husband and struggle and get through it and in the end think about how we made it through everything...
Another song I'm obsessed with is Summer girl by Jessica Andrews
"And in my mind
The sun shines
All the time"
I think you can choose to be happy, in any situation you can be positive or negative. I'm reading this book and it says instead of asking, "why is this happening to me?" ask "what can I learn out of all of this?" or "who can I help at this time, who needs my help?" Things like that. I need to be more like that.
Summer girls is the best summer song you can jam in your car.
One day I was blasting this song in my car, all the windows down, music as high as it can be and of course, singing at the top of my lungs with my dog's tongue panting, sticking out of the window, and I looked to my left and there's this guy staring at me and my dog, and my singing of course.. and all I could do was laugh. I laughed, he laughed, I turned right, and he went straight. It was summer, I was just a girl jammin to a really good song, hangin with my dog and all I could do was laugh. Just laugh. It's good for you, not to mention it's fun and it makes you a happier person.
The day before Mothers day, my friend Nikole's mother passed away. When I heard that my heart sank into my stomach, there isn't a feeling really for the sorrow that I feel for my friends whose parents passed away. My other friend Megan, her mom died yesterday due to cancer. My heart goes out to my friends because I honestly would be a MESS if I were in their situations. I don't know what I would do. Hearing that their mothers passed made me just realize how truly blessed and grateful I am for my family. I am a family girl. Always have been, always will be. My mom is my best friend, my Dad is the best, he's supppper funny. I'm way close with my sisters and my little brother is like the funniest person to be around. I'm just blessed with the best family there is. I made a video just for fun but it's got my adorable nephew Ethan in it, my new niece Baylee Aubree Blau in it, basically it's a video about my family and how happy they make me. I wish I could tell them all the time how much I love them because family is the most important thing to me. The reason I'm posting this video is because I want everyone to see my gorgeous, hilarious, and wonderful family. So enjoy it and remember that family is the most important thing we've got..
Click on the video to watch it on youtube. It's small on here. :)
So guess what? I play words, on my iphone, just like everyone else... anyways I got a 99 point word!! Don't believe me? I've got pictures to prove it. I was playing against my mamma, and the word is JEON. I know, I made it up, but apparently it's a word!!
The funny thing is, is that I've never been good at scrabble, Jackie can vouch for that. When we were little we were playing with our mom and it was my turn I was taking awhile I guess and Jackie said, "just hurry up and make a word." and my reply was, "well I could spell korea if I had a C." Jackie immediately threw her letters at me and ended the game. I never was good at scrabble, but with the game Words, I've been doing a lot better.
So here's the funny story of the week...
So me and Tayler went to the Hogle Zoo with my sister and her family awhile ago. There is a really cool bird show that isn't starting for a few months. Some of their birds are not friendly, so the workers put them on leashes and walk around with them so the birds can get used to people. So me and Tayler walk up to this eagle, and the eagle jumped off the worker's hand and scratched my leg with it's gigantic long nail. So I have this gnarly scratch down my leg, and thats the story I tell people... because the real story is lame. Tayler came up with this hilarious story, because we did go to the zoo and they really have birds walking around with the workers who aren't used to people so it seemed like a legit story, but the eagle scratch is a huge exaggeration. Funny thing is, people believe this story. We went to the hot springs the other night and told some guys this story, totally bought it, went to the jacuzzi last night, told some people the story, they totally bought it too haha. I haven't spread the story, I told some friends the story and they know it's a joke but they told some others and it just got around haha. It's hilarious. So if you hear about the girl at the zoo who got scratched by a eagle, it's me. The pic of it is from when its healing, it used to be HUGE and deep. Here it is:
