May in Utah..

We had a little bit of nostalgia the first Sunday in May when we realized that three years ago that day Lewis had flown from Houston to Utah to propose to me! Time sure flies..

On May 8th we headed out to Utah!! Aleah came up from St. George and we were able to hang out and make crepes for Mother's day! Even though it was pretty cool and rainy, at one point the sun came out and we got a beautiful rainbow! we had a good time on the farm and it was awesome to be able to see Justin when he skyped on Mother's day!

On Monday, Lewis flew back to Houston for work while I stayed in Utah for another week. We stayed busy with soccer games, paper routes, running the shaved ice shack, and getting ready for Shonee's Sweet 16 party!

Tearing it up out there! 

Shonee's party turned out really good! We hung up lights over the patio and along the deck and the fence, played lawn twister and lover's leap, had nachos, Dr. Pepper, and shaved ice, and had a special concert from Tyson!

Blue Steel

Right after Tyson picked Brecken up and THREW him across the yard! I guess you have to be ruthless to be a winner! 

Birthday Princess! 

Everyone got to write Shonee a note on her birthday shoes! 

The next day we went canoeing at First Dam and saw all sorts of adorable baby geese! We got to hang out with Julia a little bit and have a picnic under the beautiful warm sun! 

On Sunday we met Tyson and Julia up at Spring Hollow and we made Dutch oven "Mendon Mash"around the campfire :)

Merry First Week of May!

The semester is finally OVER!!!
And now I don't know what to do with myself...
After my last final, Lewis and I went out with a bunch of girls from my school to get sushi to celebrate!

I cut my hair short in preparation for summer

And then on Friday we went out again to a party at a piano bar called Howl at the Moon.

 Because I was not super comfortable riding the Stella scooter because of the manual transmission, we decided to switch her out for a Buddy.

Isn't it adorable?! And it was cheaper than the last one we had! The automatic is also way easier to drive. That didn't stop me from getting bucked off it within 20 minutes of riding it! I had decided to drive the two blocks home from the parking lot where we were practicing and didn't realize I was throttling a little while trying to pull the brake. I went up and over the curb and barely missed a tree before laying it down. It was crazy scary and even though there was no damage I was devastated that I had made such a dumb mistake!
Later on that day I asked Lewis to help me get started on these honeycomb shelves I have been wanting to make for Forever. I had a tutorial, and thought all I needed was a measurement for one of the boards. WRONG! After poking around the directions and trying to replicate it virtually in Lewis' fancy CAD program, we realized they totally bs'ed all the measurements! We ended up spending 4 hours at the office while Lewis designed the shelves the right way. So hopefully within the next couple of days I will get them all put together!
