Nook Nerd!

Tyson bought me a nook for an early birthday present. I LOVE this thing! I am using it so much that Bree and Tyson have started to call me a Nook Nerd:) It is so convenient to have and it is great to use! Thanks for the b.day present Tys!

Greatest Summer Ever!

This summer has been so much fun. We have all been really busy but we still find time to go and have lots of fun. It has been awhile since I've posted anything.... So here some of the updates!

First off, this sassy teen got herself a job working for Mr. Dave Thomas! (otherwise known as Wendy's) She's a pretty good sport about it and Tyson really enjoys the occasional free frosties.


Bree and I had our first time at the Manti pageant. I really enjoyed it but I think Bree and her friends were more interested in all the boys there. Oh brother....

For the 4th of July, we went down to Annabelle which was my first year celebrating down there. It was fun to be able to hang out with the fam and to go to all the Annabelle festivities!

The kids got to decorate their bikes and ride in a bike parade. The boys got really into creating a covered wagon for jaxon to pull Marabelle in (didn't get a pic though).

Tyson was on the sidelines begging for candy!

Cute ball player!

I was getting all comfy with my lawn chair and blanket ready to watch the game....

But it turns out they didn't have enough players, so I ended up being one of the few girls to play in the game. It was actually a lot of fun:)

Here's the QuickFix Krew! Bryce, Morgan, Tyson, and Taylor playing in the 3 on 3 basketball tournament. They made it to the championship round and sadly lost to a team that was about 3x their size. Good work Krew!

Mostly, we've been spending lots of time with the new member of our family. Our Super Air Nautique! We LOVE our new boat and we get out as often as we can for some wakeboarding and surfing!


Tyson rippin' it up!

We went to my family reunion in Idaho in July and spent some quality time with this baby on the Snake River. Gwen, Eli, and their new little guy Nash came with us and it was a really fun weekend. Too bad that I am TERRIBLE at taking pictures and only got this one of Bree and the delicious bass she caught the morning we were leaving.

Nice catch Bree!

Dan and Heidi's Wedding

On Saturday, June 5th, my brother Dan and his fiance Heidi got married. Dan and Heidi have been together for about 3 years now. Dan is leaving for the Army this summer and will be gone for over a year and they decided it was time to get hitched!! They held the ceremony/reception in Heidi's parent's back yard. It was a very beautiful wedding and we all had a good time celebrating their marriage.

The Bride and Groom

After the ceremony they had the reception. It was the most perfect day with warm weather and blue skies. We got to hang out with a lot of our family that we don't get to see all the time. Tyson especially loves playing with the little one. This is him and my cousin's new baby Kemson.

Sisters! Me, Patrice, and Bree just havin a good time.

Mulligans with Bree!

On Saturday, Bree and I headed up to South Jordan to help set up for my brother's wedding. Well we finished WAY early and we needed to find something to do until the wedding. We were driving towards the freeway and drove past Mulligans golf course. Neither of us had played mini golf in ages so we decided to go play! It was a bit of an adventure with my crazy sister!

Hole #1. This is where Bree is still acting sane haha

I can never seriously smile....

Looks like a friendly golfer, but don't let her fool you!

This is where Bree starts to lose her mind a little bit. Haha it was really HOT!

Really getting into it.

This is when Bree got pegged by a stray golf ball!

Haunted House

After about 2 hours, we finally finished the course. I'm pretty sure I won...! We had a really fun time but we might just stick to wiffleball from now on:)

Tyson's 26th Birthday!

Friday was Tyson's birthday and it is now tradition to have a BIG BBQ to celebrate his and Eli's birthday. It is always so much fun and it is great to get together with our family and friends.

We had just cleaned our house to get ready for the Party, so we decided to go to IHOP for Tyson's birthday breakfast.
We had about 40 people over for the BBQ! Good thing we have plenty of parking space:) We had lots of yummy food and of coarse birthday cake.
Devin, Shawn, Chelsie and Tyson having a pow-wow.

And of coarse it wouldn't be a BBQ at the Brown's without a little Badminton Comp!



Tyson and Eli opening their birthday gifts.

Birthday Kites! I got one stuck in our apricot tree 10 minutes later... Whoops!

Jana, Julie, Laurel, Marnae, and Shaunae just relaxing and having a good time. Cute girls!

I have the best husband ever! Happy Birthday:)
