Flashback Friday

It snowed yesterday...... The weather people were originally saying just the tops of the mountains would get snow, but the entire mountain sides were covered! There was even some snow at office in Sandy!

So, I decided today I want to think back on the nice warm days of summer! They already seem so far away!! Here are some highlights of my families last boating trip of the season at Utah Lake!

THANK YOU Dad for pulling us around the lake all day long!!

This was the craziest thing! Hayley was in between the tubes!! Dallin was holding on to her right arm and Eric had her left!! At one point the tubes were further apart than they are in the picture and she still managed to hang on!!!

Hayley, Eric and Dallin riding backward!

Love these ladies!!

Look at that storm rolling in!!

And......

Not only is it flashback Friday......

It's also another day of Fun Photo October!!

Utah Lake was so pretty the day we were there

and I had to take some picture with my phone!!

"Oh, This Has Gotta Be The Good Life"

Clear back in June I saw a billboard that was advertising Real Salt Lake tickets with a OneRepublic concert afterward! I wanted to go SO badly, but it was the same weekend that my family was going to St George. Bummer!And then I found out that OneRepublic had to cancel and was going to reschedule the show!! WAHOO!! It worked out perfectly for me!!

I talked my mom an my sister into going with me and I was counting down the days!!
We started off with dinner and TGI Friays. Their sweet potato fries were yummy!!

And then it was off to the stadium to watch the RSL soccer team!
I've always liked soccer. I even played it when I was younger. And like most sports.... I sucked!! I was always on center defense.... the last place the ball goes! I just wasn't good at kicking people to get the ball!!

The game was actually really good and I had fun watching it! But I will not lie, there were a couple of times I had no idea what was going on, so I just cheered or booed along with the rest of the crowd!!

We also got to see an absolutely spectacular sunset!!

After the game was over {with a win for RSL, hooray!} they let people onto the field to watch the concert and it was a mad rush to the front of the viewing area!! People were running and sliding all over the field {even though the announcers kept saying no running, ha!}.

 OneRepublic was fantastic!! Their set wasn't very long but I loved every song they played, especially Secrets!! It's still my favorite song!! And hearing the cello live was even better than the recorded version!

 It was a fun GNO and I'm glad my mom and sister went with me!!

My cousin has the cutest kid!! 

He is hilarious and I love spending time with

the two of them!!

The Great Blizzard of 2010

It's October but you might never guess it based on our recent weather!!
It's been warm! Actually, it's more like hot!

 And I have really appreciated it because I am NOT ready for the snow and cold!!

Utah weather is crazy! 

One day it will be 85 degrees  and sunny and the next it will be 55 and snowy.

Not even kidding about that! 

We could have snow on the tops of our mountains as early as tomorrow night!! 

Crazy since just this past weekend we were in the upper 80s!

So, in honor of that crazy weather I am posting these pictures I took last winter!

Right around Thanksgiving time to be exact.....

When all the weather people in the state said we would be experiencing

the worst blizzard Utah had seen in years!! 

It kind of turned out to be a wimpy storm {by Utah standards anyway}! 

That's not to say that driving home wasn't scary though!! But I'm always

nervous driving in the snow! 

And just in case you haven't seen enough snow yet.....

I came out to my car one morning and a stupid snow plow had come down

our street and piled tons of snow up against my car! And that's not even counting

the snow that had fallen during the night!! It was all the way up to the bottom of

my car!! 

And half way up my shin!! 

Scrapping my that day was not awesome!

I am so not ready for this kind of weather yet!!

I'm crossing my fingers that we are just getting some fluky storm this weekend

and that fall weather will come back soon!!

To Be Continued?

Are you glad that Fun Photo September is over?

Seriously?

Were you getting sick of all my random pictures?

I thought I could post all the miscellaneous pictures from my phone

during the month, but.......

I still have quite a few pictures left! 

I probably should have doubled up days! 

Maybe I will continue Fun Photo September into 

this new, wonderful month!! 

What do you think?

I used to drive past this wonderful pumpkin patch twice a day on my way to and from work!!

I miss it!! 

Been Waiting All Year Long
