hosted by biscuit-girl.

this isnt just a normal giveaway.

this is a huge giveaway.

huge as in 20 winners!

yes you heard right, 20 winners.

so cool!

head on over to her blog to see the amazing prizes and how to enter.

pioneer park

in salt lake city, utah holds a twilight concert.

they hold free concerts every thursday for about a month.

this last thursday was the first and happened to be modest mouse.

modest mouse.

landons all time favorite band.

for free?

we were definitely there.

although i dont listen to modest mouse, it was still pretty fun.

i mostly just loved seeing how happy landon was to be there.

he sang to every song they played.

someone had a birthday.

on july 7 and it was my sweet mother!!

the part i love most about my moms birthday is that she whole heartedly loves her birthday.

i dont know about you but i havent met too many 30+ year old people who love their birthday.

that just totally shows who my mother is.

she is so down to earth.

always happy.

and very understanding.

we celebrated by going to a new restaurant in town called la jolla grove.

the restaurant it decorated with cute lemon trees all over.

and it was so delicious!

 if you're ever in the provo area, i would highly recommend it.

 

after dinner we headed home to sing my mom a very happy birthday.

now, in the pictures you cant really tell but my dad got the coolest candle ever.

that thing in the middle of the cake looked like a flower that hadnt quite bloomed yet.

my dad lit it and like 30 seconds later it popped open and started playing the 'happy birthday' song and spun in circles.

so cool and so fun!

overall it was a successful birthday for my momma.

oh how i love her.

i dont know if any of you are like this but..

doesnt it just make you sick when you come across someone's blog or a website of some kind that has really (i mean reallllllly) cute things that they have made/created that you know you could have done yourself.

have you ever told yourself that..

"i could've made that myself, man! why didnt i think of that a long time ago?"

i really tell myself that a lot.

and it really does make my stomach turn in to knots.

i know, i'm ridiculous.

i think its my body trying to tell me to snap out of it.

get up and make a move for it.

stop procrastinating and follow through.

i think i should do just that.

help!

giveaways, giveaways.

i love giveaways!

head on over to this wonderful blog to enter to win a $30 gift card to gussy.

seriously, all of her stuff is so adorable.

and you can place custom orders..yes please!

i think i would order something along the lines of this

 but maybe i'd ask her if she could make it big enough to fit my laptop.

i get chills just thinking about it!

arent giveaways just the best?

what dreams are made of

sugar, spice and everything nice.

right?

landon got to fulfill one of his all time dreams today.

i only have one word for you all..

skydiving.

would i ever go skydiving?

heck no.

it was fun to watch though.

we headed out to toelle, utah. 

the 2 boys {landon and his friend sam} watched a tutorial video then off they went to get geared up.

15 minutes later, they were boarding the plane.

this is about the time where the nerves kick in.

13,000 feet later they jump.

unfortunately i wasnt able to get very good pictures or video.

but this is what i gathered

{click on picture to make larger}

& video of landon falling.

he loved every second of it.

it was everything he was hoping for.

next time, i'll ask to go on the plane.

then maybe in 50 more years i'll get the guts to actually do it :)

let freedom ring.

happy 4th of july!

this year it is a weekend full of celebration.

having the 4th on a sunday, and living in utah, the celebrations are scattered all over the place.

yesterday we celebrated by going boating.

unfortunately, the weather hasnt been anything above what feels like 70 degrees.

so what did we do? 

we took the boat and anchored in the marina.

ate some lunch.

talked while the wind blew our hair.

it was relaxing.

but since the weather wasnt anything great down by the lake we decided to go swimming.

and yes, it was much much warmer.

 that night we went to my uncles house to watch the infamous fireworks from the stadium of fire.

such a perfect view from their beautiful yard.

and not to mention very romantical.

today all of us cousins got together for my uncles baby blessing.

another cousin was welcomed to our clan.

i think that makes around 59.

it was a fun get together with yummy breakfast foods.

tomorrow morning they are holding the 4th of july parade.

i dont know why they didnt do it on saturday.

who can go to the parade on monday anyways? 

people usually have to work.

oh well, i wont get to attend that event.

my mr. bf landon is going skydiving.

{more on that tomorrow evening}

in honor of the 4th i did make a dress.

i was all confused because i couldnt figure out when i should wear it.

sooo i chose yesterday to be the day.

 sorry for the bad quality.

i might have to 'reenact' the moment so we can get a better picture.

i will definitely take a more detailed picture of my dress so that i can tell you guys how easy it was to make.

for now, i hope you guys have a wonderful 4th of july.

take the time to think about how thankful we really should be for the freedom we are blessed to have.
