I'm so, so ready for fall.

My Morning Jacket

Went to see this lovely band yesterday in Salt Lake for the Twilight Concert Series.

One of the best concerts I've been to. AND they played my favorite song very last.

if you haven't heard them, look them up.

love it.

rod

We used to have a trampoline
until my little brother and his fat friends broke it.
Jokes, they're not really fat. It was an old trampoline and there were like 12 of them on it at once.

That's me sitting on what remains of our trampoline. So sad. I loved that guy.

A friend of my sister's made that lovely feathery guy. Pretty huh?

it was nice out today, just wish I had a trampoline.

loved it.

the man and the sea

This week has been quite lovely. 

I know most people get down on rainy days, but to me they're always just so cozy.

I've always loved the fall-like weather and it means a more to me now because of my little missionary friend, who will return in such blustery weather a year and six months from the 30th.

Also, this week I was fortunate to make a lovely musical discovery.

her name is Hannah Hays. and we've been introduced by way of various socials mediums.

listen to this, please.

also, you may download it for free, here

Loving it.

family photos

my brother wanted us all to dress the same. light purple shirts and jeans.

two problems.

I don't wear jeans. I had one pair that I used in high school whenever it was required of me to wear them.

I lost track of them a long time ago.

and we did the a similar thing the last time we did family pictures. It was ok, but I felt like it could have been better.

I felt boring. my sister and I were the only ones who shook things up a bit.

This year I said no to boring. they made fun of me for my accessories, looking like a grandma. 

But I like it.

much better.
Love it.

Happy Krystal birthday

Krystal and Dr. Suess share a birthday. 

She's officially twenty.

He would have been One-hundred-and-nine (or near there...).

my grandmother made this sweater for my mother.
She was a knitting fiend.
I miss her.

I tried out The Dainty Squid's zigzag nail polish tutorial. She's awesome.
It was so easy. If you decide to try it, I would LOVE it if you would post it and then hit me up with a link in the comment section. I'm dying to see your creativity.

In honor Krystal's newfound age,
we ventured to the nearest Sweet Tooth Fairy for some delectable cupcakes.
So tasty.

I tried The Elvis,
which is a banana cupcake
with peanutbutter frosting,
dipped in chocolate,
topped with chopped peanuts.
Pay no attention to my expression. It was SO good.

Happy Birthday Krystal!
Love it.
