Wedding Art
This is my cousin Lauren and her new husband Jay D
They recently got married and had asked me to do a caricature of them for their big day. It was a pretty big picture so I had to just take a picture of it with my cheap camera. It didn't come out as clear as I had hoped.
I am looking to get my portfolio built up of caricatures like this, so if any of you faithful blog readers would like me to do a character like this of you or a loved one email me a picture and I'll do it free of charge.

July- The Month To Have Fun in the Sun
This month is usually pack full of fun. Here is what has been going on...
The weekend of June 28th...
We went to Ogden with Kurt's family. We camped out and slept in Tee Pees. Like Indians. It was tons of fun. The funnest part was sleeping with all the nieces and nephews.
Kurt is pretending he is the chief.
July 1st...
My sister Keshia came home from Ecuador.
July 2nd...
The day after Keshia came home everyone in my family went to Lagoon! This is one of our family's favorite summer events along with many others.





Most of the time Kurt is a GOOF and he wanted us to pretend like we were cold(It really was super hot that day). I just go with. I've learned after being with him for 3 years that's all I can do
My favorite rides at Lagoon are (they kinda go in order of favorite) Wicked, Spider, Samurai, Cliff Hanger, and Rattlesnake Rapids. I also love Lagoon-A-Beach!
July 4th...(INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!)
After work we drove up to Park City. Kurt's parents got their time share reserved. All of Kurt's Sibling and their kids were there. Kurt's mom had taco salad for us to eat. It was so good! Then Kurt and I walked up to the Alpine Slide and went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I was craving a caramel apple (ever since we went Lagoon and I had got one there). We sat in the park across the street from our condo to watch the fireworks. We sat there for two hours before it started, but it was tons of fun to visit and enjoy the festivities going on around. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. We stayed the night up there. Kurt and I watched August Rush right before bed(Well I did anyways he fell asleep). It's a good movie and I recommend it. The next morning we had a very yummy breakfast and then Kurt and I had to leave to work and to do homework.
July 13th...
Nicole had her farewell last Sunday. She will be leaving on her mission on the 23rd! We went to Idaho this weekend. It was crazy how much family was there! It was super fun to see everyone. Keshia also spoke in church about Ecuador.
Nicole in her new missionary attire that I helped her shop for!
My mom getting all the food ready for the BIG dinner.

The Cookie Phantom
BUT….my desire to discipline myself was put to a halt when a secret admirer decided to mail me a tin of Mrs. Field's cookies. I came home from work last week and there was a box that had been delivered that day. I opened it up and saw a Mrs. Field’s tin that contained little pieces of heaven waiting for me to consume them. I am not sure what happened after that. All I remember is waking up on the floor sweating with an empty Mrs. Field’s tin next to me. With crumbs around my face I assumed that the brick I felt in my stomach was nothing but cookies.
So whomever decided to send me the tin of Mrs Fields cookies I want to know who you are. (Next time sign the card, would ya!) A part of me thanks you, and the other part says you owe me an hour on the treadmill.
P.S…..send more!
