(lack of creative title to make up for my long absence...)

So I realized an entire summer has gone by and I have not once posted for the two or three readers of my blog! TRAGIC!!! Haha but seriously, I decided it was time. So I've actually decided to bring my camera around with me different places and would like to share with you, my small following, my activities for the summer when I wasn't working or being a bum in my lovely ghetto apartment. Annnnnddd here we go:

So this is my special friend, Jon :). And this is us at fireworks with his family. And the fireworks were in 3D so they were bigger and crazier than ever. So cool!! And we looked as cool as we felt.

This is what it looked like through the glasses... Fireworks on steroids.

And then we had an amazing extended Lowe family reunion. Seriously so fun to see everyone. This was the majority of us joined in our backyard for an great FHE.

This was the extent of the immediate Lowe family there at the reunion. It was so much fun to have Sarah and the leprauchan boys join us from St. Louis.

And I couldn't help but just say that I love my parents and that they're adorable :). Okay, next topic....

So next we had our Harry Potter 6 promo party with the ward. Hilarious. We played Harry Potter Scene It and ate chocolate cauldrons and acid pops. And check out these sweet shirts that Kylie's dad made for us. We're so legit.

Then came the Fray concert in which Jon and I had free tickets for and it was amazing. Highly recommended.

And then Rachel, Sam, and their adorable girls came up for a visit and it was awesome. I'm not sure why they decided to move to far away...

While they were here we decided to go to Pineview Reservoir where we canoed and played in the water and ate....

... and made silly faces. Yes. I am a proud aunt of these two adorable Sorber girls, Lucy and Natalie.

Miriam and Marc met us there which meant we got to spend more quality time with them. But mostly we wanted to see Anna. Haha kidding. Kind of. Anyway, Anna took a nap during the trip and she woke up like this, grinning from ear to ear. So I just wanted to share this moment of bliss with you.

Then we all met in Orem for Paul's sister's wedding reception and Michelle and I decided we looked cute together. Sort of Sound of Music-esque :)

And I took Jon along for the ride! He is very nice and patient with me.

Also, this was my bestest friend for the summer, (President) Kylie Debra Durham. Pretty much, she's hilarious. This was us at the Relief Society campout being dorks.

Then we had a ward party at Jump-On-It in Lindon and we decided to test out our "ultimate punch" skills (reference to the most hilarious movie of all time, Hot Rod)

And our amazing basketball skills. Kylie, please don't hate me, because I know you're thinking it. You look awesome here :)


So all in all, my summer was fairly eventful and I enjoyed it! Too bad school is back in session and I am still working 20 hours a week. Ugh. So we're back to the same ol' routine. But it's okay! I'll survive and I'll probably make more excuses to blog rather than doing my homework. No promises, but it's just a thought. Haha.
