leather jackets and classic rock.

this weekend was pretty much amazing.

friday was my friend aaron's birthday party...

here we are both in leather jackets, which we thought was pretty cool.

we're pretty much in a gang.

our  friend woni  also showed up in a leather jacket. :]

we're pretty dang hardcore.

the other highlight of my weekend was a date with my mama.

we went to see styx, foreigner and kansas play live down in tooele.

it was so much fun!! my mom is so great.

and look at her...she's absolutely beautiful too!

how did i get so lucky?

i love whysound.

it was another wonderful night in logan two nights ago

and we got to see sons o'valley [a local, awesome band] play with

kid theodore, my cousin's band.

i not only got to spend the night with good music and good friends

but got to see my cousin gardner for the first time in several months!

such fun.

ok...

am i the only one disappointed by the series finale on sunday?

i was pissed!!

where were some answers? i still don't even know what happened. 

and i'm too angry to try and watch it again.

*sigh*

i suppose i'll have to find a new tv show to get into.. as of late i've been obsessed with how i met your mother, 30 rock, and house, of course.

i suppose i'll just have to wait for the movie to find out some answers about lost..

even though i vowed i would not watch it since i was so ticked about the finale.

but...i still want answers. so i'll probably go see it.

ben kenney.

the bassist for incubus [ben kenney]

is one of my favorite musicians, and has been for years.

his solo stuff is pretty much amazing.

and as of lately he manages to explain my life in a nutshell.

a grudge is not a grudge when it's a promise to myself

i hope you recognize before there's someone else

who might not ever let you know

when people come up to me and wanna talk about you

they say "forgive and forget"

it's just so easy to say and all the same walk away without a trace of regret

but they don't know about the messages you left

i think if everyone knew about the things that you do

they'd lose a lot of respect.

check him out, because he's awesome.

and good to listen to when trying to get over dumb boys.

[liars, cheaters, manipulators..the whole lot of them].

no bueno.

i'd rather stay single, thanks.

oh summer, i have missed you.

it's only been the first couple weeks of summer, and it's already been amazing.
summer adventures so far:


-water fights
-jumping on trampolines
-morning hikes
-rock climbing
-summer music [the sounds, fleet foxes, muse, lcd sound system, the presets, etc]
-bike rides
-NAPS [lots of naps!]

here's our latest addition to our new home.

a hammock??! yes please.

i love the summertime...

ICAN'TWAIT

modest mouse
girl talk
BEIRUT!!!!!!
she & him
matisyahu
i'm also pretty dang stoked to be going to hopefully two amazing concerts with my sweet mama! the end of the month we're seeing STYX, FOREIGNER, AND KANSAS. and later this summer we may have the awesome opportunity of seeing the one and only:

zion's national park.

this last week hannah and i drove down to zion's

to hang out with our favorite ryan one last time.

he is off to be a graduated big kid, while we are stuck in logan.

kind of a bummer. however, it was still a fun trip despite the fact we had to say goodbye.

we found a frog within about 10 mins of arriving at our campsite the first  night.

the first morning...here are our morning faces.

and ryan's morning face.

then we got ready to go hike angel's landing.

one of the hardest hikes everrr!!

it's pretty intense.

on the shuttle

resting on the way up.

right about here we started to get a bit nervous.

luckily after the hike, hannah's dad told us someone died the week before on this trail.

i am really glad i didn't know that BEFORE hiking this. yikes.

us at the top.

it was a pretty epic start to the summer. bring on the summer adventures.
