Weekend: Vegas & Fishing!

This last weekend I went home to Vegas to visit family and my Grandma who was in town, and Brandon stayed in Provo to fish with his friends. Here is our weekend in iPhone pictures:

This is the only pic I have right now of Brandon's weekend, but isn't my husband a stud?! Oh & the fish is cool too :)

I drove down with my sister Aubrey and her family, and these little cuties. That little thumb sucker has some lungs on her! :)

She also happened to LOVE my friend Rachel who came over to say Hi. The minute she saw her she reached out for Rachel to hold her and snuggled up. I've literally never seen her do that to anyone else, and she's NEVER met Rachel before! Amazing.

We went to the Secret Garden dolphin and big cat habitat at the Mirage, saw some cheetahs, lions, and dolphins that were about 2 feet away from me! I love dolphins, they look at you like they know exactly what's going on. Also there was a baby dolphin that was 2 weeks old and he was PRECIOUS.


Lazy cheetah!



Spent some time relaxing in the hot tub, I love that thing.So that's about it! I will probably post again when I get the pictures from my camera. I got to see Courtney finally! She just got back from her mission and is the same as always and I love her so much. Also got to see Becca and Alyssa. I miss my friends! We went to dinner at Brio and yes, it was good, but do NOT get the Lobster Ravioli unless you want to risk getting food poisoning, because I did. I got to hang out with my Grandma Gourley and I miss her! I hadn't seen her in 2 years, so it was nice to hang out with her.

Brandon finally caught a Cutthroat trout! He has been wanting to for awhile now and finally did! I'll try to get pictures from his phone to show you what they look like, it is pretty cool.

Also on a different note, I finally got a Clairsonic! (If you don't know what that is it is just a face cleansing brush thing.) My friend Brittany Seager was the absolute nicest and got it for me from a friend of hers for $50! Basically they are normally $150-$200 usually, so I am SO grateful to her. I've only used it about 4 times but I really like it so far! And it's purple, my favorite color. :) I will update later and do a review on it I think... (the picture below isn't mine but it looks the exact same.)



P.S. I was reading the Skymall magazine on my way back to SLC (it's my FAVORITE) and they had this thing in there. 1. How in the world is that convenient to sit there and blow that up? 2. It's HUGE! How annoying for whoever is sitting next to you! 3. Ridiculous.



And here's a few pics from my camera:

Hobby Lobby Steals

No I didn't steal from Hobby Lobby. I almost feel like I did though! I was there right as they were putting out their Fourth of July merch for 80% off so I got first picks, and here is what I got:

2 HUGE USA banners, 2 bows, 1 3-D garland of stars, and 1 set of reflective red white and blue stars. I added up what the original price was, and it would have been $40.94 before tax. What was my price? $8.55 total. Amazing. I will probably give some of it to my sister because I don't need 2 huge USA banners. I was bummed this year because I don't have any 4th of July decor, but all you need to do is wait until a few days after and boom, get all you can! I'm set for next year. :)

Also I just tried these on at Target and kind of loved them, what do ya'll think? I can't decide if they are too indie/army for me or not. Hmm...

Here are the brown versions online, I couldn't find this color above on Target.com... only $29.99 though! (I think the boots in the store were $34.99, sneaky Target!

2nd Annual Family Campout in Beaver, UT!

Last weekend, July 8th-11th we went on our 2nd annual family camping trip with my family in Beaver, UT! It was a blast. S'mores, shooting, ABUNDANT fishing, a little/a LOT of rain, ATVing, and eating delicious food. I don't know what more you could ask for. I also might have set a record for most fish gutted in 10 minutes. (Just kidding, but I'm getting pretty good at it with this fisherman husband of mine.) We had an awesome time. Here is our trip in pics:

LOVELY ponchos.



Oh don't worry, my Dad gave us that .22, so we're ready if any intruders assault us!





This is an old polygamist "freezer" which is just a room in the ground where they kept their perishables, neat huh?
