My Summer Vol. I

With one month of my summer vacation down, there have already been so many adventures. I almost forgot how much of my heart is enveloped by my love of Cache Valley summers. What's not to love about nights at the cabin... searching for the koalas...feeding the ducks...night rides with the boys... mid-construction parties with the boyfriend...
hanging with my favorite kindergarteners...
having sass-fests with some of those kindergarteners...
taking random trips to Jackson...

posing for pictures at the golf course...and after sweating to death at the golf course for 7 hours...

and afternoon boat runs?

Yay for summer.

Ode to Summer

At the conclusion of the second week of my summer vacation, I am very happy. I'm happy about the events that have already taken place as part of the summer package and I'm happy about the things that will come about this summer. I got my old job back at the Phiv! Yay for employment. I'm turning 21 in 30 days! I'm planning multiple trips involving both coasts of our beautiful nation. I hate that the people I love and the places I love happen to be so far away from me but that just means vacations galore, hopefully. From Virginia to Vegas, may this be the best summer ever!

IDF!!

Last weekend we made our journey to the beautiful Pocatello, Idaho for the annual Idaho Dance Fest. It was quite the family adventure...myself, the friend, the mother, 2 aunts, 2 babes, 3 cousins, and 3 cars. Talk about a Mexican roadblock... Calvin rode with us because of his love for the Red Car and Cindy. With a few handfuls of Cheetos, his book, and a mini DVD player with the Little Rascals he was pretty content the whole ride. After getting lost in Pokey for about a half hour and arriving late and in a rush to Pocatello High School we finally calmed down and got prepared to rock the socks off the audience. Okay...this video is for the soul purpose of making my sister happy so please, if you would refrain from watching it unless your name is Kirsten Cooley that would be fantastic...

After makin Peace it was time to change the mood a bit and get ready for Rockgirls. This is where Dressing Room + Extra Time = Pure Madness.I don't like to get ready too quickly...I might mess up the hairBecky...Katie...Shelly...Smalls...Kelina...we rock itKelina and I found some new boyfriends...can you say hotties?

The Rockgirls brought it & brought it hard...again, just for you Kirst

Some family photos... pose it

The whole gang
The dancers! Before we headed back to Utah we had to stop at another PHS, Preston High School to check out Shelly's ballroom team. She is amazing! Katie and I did get a little bored though...we wanted to go home! But before we could leave for Utah, Mom had to take a little trip down memory lane. She's such a cute little Preston girl.

and we're just fierce modelsWe heart Idaho!

PJ

I have a new love in my life....her name is PJ. She's such a little cutie and provides so many hours of entertainment. We love her.This was PJ's first night ride and first passenger...I was a little nervousYeah...still quite nervous...

Just fillin' her up with some gasoline....$2.57 for over 100 miles of fun is so worth itOff on another scootThe addition of the third passenger wasn't exactly the best slash safest idea

Service Sunday

Although I do have strong feelings of love towards Sundays, there are some weeks where I wonder how I can possibly fill my entire afternoon without sleeping the day away. For the purpose of providing some time fulfillment and entertainment maybe, Service Sunday was born a few weeks ago. Jordan and I take a few moments to bake a few cookies and then we disperse them around our community aka to a few of our friends. Here's a few of our stops over the last few weeks...maybe you're next on our list!
