Blue Angels air show spectacular

Last weekend we traveled to down to St. George with the Bunkers for an airshow featuring the Blue Angels.

It was amazing to watch the precision of them flying through the air and watching them fly so close without bumping into each other.  The formations were incredible and I had always heard how neat it was, but watching them in person was truly an experience.

We heard from someone that in order to stay conscious the whole time during the flight that they needed to do different breathing techniques and keep their body flexed and rigid to avoid passing out. I couldn't believe the talent those pilots had.  It was impressive!

They even had a wing walker there and the whole time I was nervous holding my breath she wouldn't fall.  You couldn't pay me to walk out on the wings of an airplane while it was up in the air!

The temperature was perfect but it got a little bit windy near the end. The little ones had gotten tired and so had we so decided to head out.  As we started to leave a huge dust storm caught us and everyone else by surprise. It was definitely an adventure and we had such a good time.

Jimmer and the Jazz

On Saturday night we went to the Jazz game against the Sacramento kings.  It was lots of fun and Brian was all excited because he got to see Jimmer play. I had heard about Jimmer but didn't really know who he was or anything { i know, big shock! } but I can now admit I am a fan too.

It was neat that even though Jimmer played for the opposing team how everyone cheered for him when he came out at the beginning and whenever he made a basket.  We cheered lots too :)

Highlights included a yummy dinner before-hand in the basement of the energy solutions arena, watching a poor guy in the audience get pelted with silly string by the jazz bear, obviously watching Jimmer play, and seeing some seriously cute girls dance, making me miss it more than ever. 

Thanks for taking me out on the town love. Also thanks to such great friends who got us the tickets because they knew Brian really wanted to go.  You are seriously the best.

Erin and Travis { Tie the Knot }

  

Erin and Travis have been married for just over a month now so I figured I should get to posting about it!

Their sealing was so wonderful and it was the first one I had been to since my own.  It was so special to be there and Brian and I noticed that it took place in the same room as ours.

Erin already felt like part of the family before it was "official" and it was so fun to dream up wedding ideas together.  Our taste is so similar and dreaming up possibilities was so much fun this summer at the cabin. She is an incredible girl who I can't believe how lucky I am to be cousins with.  

The luncheon took place at the jsm building and they had planned an amazing reception in my aunt and uncles backyard that was threatened by the rain.  After an hour it stopped and we moved the party outside.

Highlights included the boys " decorating " trav's car, sneaking back for fourths and fifths of the to-die-for food, and court catching the bouquet like she always does. 

I am so thankful for this { growing } family of mine and for the close ties that bind us together.  We always have a great time together and erin and travs party was so fun to celebrate them and their union. 

Congrats you two. . . Cousins forever!

the average pictures were taken by me and the amazing pictures were taken by elizabeth kate photography!

The lovely and talented Erin { my lucky lucky cousin's fiance } took these incredible pictures of us at the lake this weekend.  They are so fun.  I have always wanted to learn how to do this and now I know!  I am totally framing these and putting them in the cabin. 

{ Recognition night }

In Vegas we got to attend some award dinners for Brian and his company. We got to see lots of familiar faces and celebrate all these cute talented hardworking guys!

Brian won District Manager of the year for his region and was the highest district in the company for overall sales and gross profit. He works so hard for his company and loves his job and it was so fun to see him get recognized for it!






I love you dearest. I am so proud of you and all that you accomplish. You are so amazing to me. xoxo.
