Utah State Fair!

This past weekend I went with my birth mom and her family to the Utah State Fair. I honestly haven't been to a state fair like this is years! It was fun to go with the kids and watch them all have a blast on the rides. You realize when you're older how much bigger and amazing fairs are when you're a kid. So it was even more fun with the kids. Somehow I managed to stay out of all the pics but here are the kids on the rides....some of which had never been on rides before.

Another Wedding!

Well since I am still single I have watched friend after friend take the plunge and join the married life. Each one being a bitter sweet time for me. But this last one was a little hard for me. One of my best friends Haley got married. I am not sure why it was a little harder for me, maybe because she and I have been through a lot together over the years and she has especially been through a lot in the last year. Haley unexpectedly got pregnant last year and gave birth to her little guy Jaxon a few months ago. It has been a rough road for her and the dad Walker. But they were able to work through things. Wasn't sure if this wedding would happen but it did and it was fabulous! The ceremony was done really well. I totally started crying when I saw her walk down the isle. I was so glad to see that they both just looked so happy and relieved to finally be married to each other. I am so happy for them.
Later that night was their reception. Leave it to Hales to do something totally different...they had a BBQ/pool party. I have to say as casual as it was, it was probably one of the funnest receptions I have been to! No offense to anyone! Lol. It was just a great time swimming and celebrating their marriage. I love them and wish them the best!

I love this pic of them about to jump in the pool!

One of the reasons I love Haley! Of course she jumped in the pool in her dress! Crazy girl!

Husband and Wife finally able to enjoy the water!

Don't worry that the photographer got a shot of me alone! Probably the most casual I have ever gone to a reception. ;)

And here they are the adorable little Robinson family!

Royal Bliss!

There is a local Salt Lake City band called Royal Bliss that I just love! I was introduced to them by a friend awhile back. They were in town putting on a show again a few months ago and so I talked to Sterling into going with me, hoping he would like them as well. Luckily since we have similar taste, he ended up totally getting into them and having a great time! It was cute cause for weeks after we saw them, their music was all Sterling listened to...needless to say he is one of their biggest fans now! Lol. We have gone to see them a few other times and most recent we invited a few friends. We had a great time even though they still havent played Ster's fav song yet. For anyone interested in finding new music, you should totally check them out!

Some of the band....not the best looking bad! Haha
