Oak City & Pinto Weekend

Two weeks ago, Mitch's brother Ryan and his family came to Utah to visit from Kansas. We drove up to Oak City to meet up with them and then went to Pinto the next day. Here are some pictures from that weekend.... most of them are of Mitch, Micci, and me bowling in Delta :)

I loved these old buildings in Milford

On the way up to Oak City, we passed a million of these windmill things... and for some reason they're really creepy to me!

More windmills!

Micci and Mitch getting us ready to start the game...

Mitch's awesome stance before he bowls...

Micci giving Mitch some bowling tips...

Mitch's name was "Destroyer".... though it wasn't very fitting!

This is what it looks like when Micci WHOOPS Mitch in bowling!

We saw two rainbows on the drive to Pinto

And had to stop about 10 times for all the cows in the road!



And here are some videos from bowling.... I love when Mitch yells into the camera at the end of this video :)

Me + Dancing = Sprained Ankle

If you take a look at my left ankle and foot, you'll notice that it's nice and swollen. THIS is what happens when I dance! I've started going to a Zumba class and thought that I was doing pretty well. Then I came home a couple weeks ago and tried to show Mitch a funny part of one of the dances. Well apparently it got a little out of control.... which lead to me landing on my foot weird, hearing a pop, and falling flat on my butt. I laid there laughing because it was so rediculous and crying because it hurt so bad! It took Mitch about 30 seconds to realize what was going on. He ran over to me and said, "Sorry, I thought that was still just part of the routine!" hahaha Anyways, I had my doctor look at it and he said it's just sprained and eventually the swelling will go down. Now the big question is : Do I dare try Zumba again?! haha I think I will, but this time I'll calm it down a notch or two ;)

4th of July

Mitch and I had a fun 4th of July this year doing fireworks with my family. As always, the Blake reunion was on Saturday up at my granparents' cabin on Kolob. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go because I had to work :( We still got to hang out with the family that night at my grandma's house though. My brother brought some fireworks for the kids to do out front, and then we went out back to eat root beer floats and watch the city fireworks from my grandparent's backyard. Here are some pictures I took while we were there....

The kids doing fireworks out front...

MJ holding Brooklyn and Lyla

Kylee with her bunny "Cheese-it"

Payton and Blake doing sparklers

Dillon with a sparkler... it's kinda dark, sorry!

Lyla petting Cheese

The view of the city fireworks... don't mind the Red Hill being on fire... it happens EVERY year haha

Brookie Cookie

This is my niece Brooklyn... aka Brookie Cookie. After Kenzee's party, we went outside for a little photoshoot. She's a bit of a cheezer in front of the camera :)

I've been messing around with a photo editing program... and I just thought I'd show how you can change one picture to look different in a bunch of ways. All of the pictures in the post are edited.

I tried to make all the colors really saturated in this one


I tried to make this one look a little old fashioned?

I tried to make all the colors really muted except for her dress and flower...

And this one is just REALLY bright

Kenzee's Birthday

The Birthday Girl!!

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my niece Kenzee's birthday at our Gubler Sunday dinner. We had homemade pizza and ice cream cake. Yum!!

Kenz with her cake...


More nieces... Lyla and Mariah


And more nieces.... Brooklyn and Kylee

Payton and Kenzee...

they were in the same class together this last school year and I'm pretty sure nobody would have believed they were cousins haha

Lyla eating her ice cream cake

Dillon trying to dodge the camera... but I still got him!

Don't you just want to squeeze Payton's cute little face?!

Everyone watching Kenz open presents

I seem to have a lot of photos of Blake that look like this!

Isn't she so stinkin cute?!
