One Week of Summer

We got to go down to Arizona to hang out with both of our families at the very beginning of July. Scott & I went swimming everyday and got nice tans. (Too bad I'm already losing it). Meli was the only cool weenie dog to go swimming with us. It was so much fun meeting Phoebe (our new little niece) and playing with Annalee. Phoebe has the funniest growl and I now know what Blair means when she growls! Cutest thing ever. We had the best spot to watch fireworks for the 4th of July. Scott also played racquetball with his brothers & my family most of the time. He got his workout while we were there! It was so much fun hangin out with both of our families. I wish we could've stayed longer. And Scott & I already agree that we miss the heat! Anyways, I forgot my charger for my camera, so it died pretty quickly. But here are a few pictures that I got on the trip.

This is a video of some of the fireworks. I posted this for Annalee because she looooved the fireworks and kept talking about them for the rest of the week.

 This is such a cute video of Annalee trying to play racquetball.

These were the last pictures that I got. I loved Zuka's face when Scott throws the ball to them. She gets so intense.

End of Summer

On July 15th, an awesome movie came out in theaters!! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was so excited for this movie because this one is my favorite book of the series. I do love the 7th one because it ends everthing but I just love the 6th book the best for some reason. We went the day it came out and only had to wait an hour! I heard of people waiting for 2 or more hours. The midnight showing had people waiting in line since 5 p.m. Even though I do love movies and Harry Potter, I could never do that. Anyways, the movie was fantastic! I loved it!! I just wish they didn't take out the fight scene at the end of the book.. Oh well it was still soooo cool!

Dumbledore and Harry

(I actually liked the actor that played Dumbledore the best in this movie. He was almost how I pictured him in the books. He didn't act crazy and mean to Harry like he did in the 4th movie. It was much better.) Malfoy & Snape.. the "bad" guys.

Hermione and Professor Slughorn

(The man who played the Professor was alright. He wasn't exactly how I imagined him in the book. But I guess he'll do. And also, Hermione was actually really, really good in this movie! She didn't overreact and Scott & I were pleased with her acting.)

Ginny & Ron

(Ron was so funny in the movie - I think he is a pretty good actor for what he does.)

Okay enough about the Harry Potter until the next movie. :) hehe.. Well, these pictures are of our new table that we bought April of 2008. We bought this table for $30 on KSL (its like a craigslist.com) and we wanted to refinish it for our place. We have a nice table but this one is better. So Scott is finally getting around to refinishing it. It is looking good so far and I can't wait for it to be done! We are going to do a cherry-red woodstain on the chairs and table too. It will look good :)

At the end of July, Sam, Cherri, Logan, Blair, and Annalee all came up for a cousin wedding. We had the honor of having Logan, Blair, and Annalee at our place. It was so much fun having a little baby around! She is a cute little girl and such a blast! And we're expecting another little niece on this side of the family and we're very excited!!!

Scott is absolutely adorable with children. He has always been really good with the sunbeams but he is sooooo cute with lil babies. Scott will be an amazing dad and he is already such a fun uncle! Annalee loved having Scott take her around and find the cat and dog. She adores him and I can see why.

Do you remember my orchids that Scott got me for Valentine's Day? If not, well you can go look back in February on my blog and see them. They are still doing really well and blossoming so much! It has been so much fun taking care of them and watching them change. The only thing is that we are now getting a different pot for them so they can stretch their lil roots and grow some more. So we did and I don't know why but we took some pics.
