Harry Potter

I was pretty bummed because Jonny was going to in California for the premiere of Harry Potter and he and his family were going at midnight. Then on Monday Ashley and I decided that we should go. So after about 30 mins of searching for tickets we found some, 3D and reserved seats. I took Jonny to the airport and on the way home went to WalMart and decided Ashley and I should go all out and make t-shirts. So we did. We spent the next couple of nights making our shirts and getting excited.

Then on Thursday we tried, unsuccessfully, to take naps to prepare for the late night. Then we turned to caffeine.

So here are some pictures of the shirts and us at the movie rocking our Harry Potter style 3D glasses. (We went picture crazy)

Also since I didn't post any pictures or anything about the 4th of July I'll give a quick run down. We went to the Freedom Festival in Provo and looked around at the booths. We were going to BBQ but the weather turned raining so we changed our plans. For our fireworks show we went up the mountain and watched the all the aerial fireworks people set off.

It was cool to see them everywhere! Then we came home and set off our own, a lot of our own. We got some that were pretty awesome especially since they were only $2.

Logan

Jonny's sister Hannah came out to Utah for a few weeks and is staying with their Grandma in Logan. Jonny and I went up last weekend and this weekend to spend some time with her. Last weekend we headed up Saturday morning. When we got there we went to the farmer's market in the park across the street.

Then we headed to the swimming pool for some time in the sun. It was a really nice new pool and they had a few big water slides and two big pools.

We had fun hanging out there for a few hours and definitely got worn out. Then we went out to dinner at Olive Garden with their Grandma and cousin Bryan. The we headed over to Island Market to get some penny candies and then ended the night with Aggie ice cream where we were eaten alive by mosquitoes. Jonny and I headed back to Provo that night exhausted but we had a great time.

This weekend we headed up Friday night and stayed the night. When we got there we set off some fireworks then headed to bed. On Saturday we took Hannah to Transformers 3 which was really good. Then we went ice blocking with Jonny's cousin Sara and her kids (who are so adorable and fun.) That evening that a the Cruise In which is a parade of cool old cars and some nice new ones.

It was pretty fun to see all of them but it was REALLY hot. (Sorry I didn't have any picture os people this weekend.) Originally the plan was to head back to Provo in time to see the Stadium of Fire fireworks but we decided to stay and chat with people a little bit longer. We ended the night by lighting off a few more fireworks with Sara's kids and then heading back to Provo. It was a good (and tiring) couple of weekends, we had fun hanging out with Hannah and some of Jonny's extended family.

Across the Country and Back in a Day

Last weekend Jonny and I were trying to think of something to do to enjoy the weather. We went out to Strawberry Day in Pleasant Grove and walked around for a bit. The we decided to take a quick trip across the country.

We hit D.C. first.

Next we headed to Philadelphia to check out where the Liberty Bell used to hang.

Then we headed to South Dakota.

We also stopped in NY to play some laser tag in the subway but I didn't get a picture. All this and we still had a chance to make it back to Provo to watch Water for Elephants. There is also a small chance that we took all these pictures at Trafalga in Lehi while mini golfing.

Also a side note Karleigh left for California for the rest of the summer so we helped her finish moving her stuff into the storage unit and then got some burgers at JCW's (those of you in Utah County should try it out! Great food I recommend the Hickory Bacon Cheeseburger.)

I'm sad she left and I'm going to miss her for the next few months. I took a picture because Jonny and Karleigh were kind of twins and I thought it was funny.

Les Mis

For Christmas Jonny's parents gave us tickets to see Les Mis in Salt Lake. This weekend the show finally arrived! We were so excited. Jonny has seen the show many times but this was my first time. I loved it. It was amazing and the cast was great. It makes me want to go see more shows. Jonny also loved it and said he was impressed by the cast. The theater was smaller than other ones he had been to but it was still nice. I was familiar with many of the songs and had a general idea of the story but it was so great to have it all come together. It is such a powerful story and the music is fantastic.

Karleigh came over and did my hair and helped me get all ready.

The night wouldn't have been over without a little adventure. We thought the adventure of the night would have been having to wander around to find somewhere to make change for parking (not easy at 11 pm). However, the real adventure was driving along the freeway when all of a sudden we hear a flapping sound and hooray! our tire is FLAT! So we got to pull over and Jonny got to fix the flat tire in his nice new suit. But we got it taken care of and made it home safely (at 2am) and still had a great night.

The Triplet's 1st Birthday

Last week Taryn came out to Utah so we got to have some fun. She came out with her friends who have triplets. Taryn and Grant helped a lot with the three little ones before they moved. But the parents, Karrie and Al, needed a third set of hands to help on the plane so they paid for Taryn to come out. So I was really bad at taking pictures of our activities but we pretty much ate a lot, we went shopping one day and just hung out (Taryn got sick so she wasn't up for much, but we had fun.) We did have dinner with our cousins who are out here which was fun. While out here Karrie's family had a birthday party for the triplets, they turn one this week, so Karleigh and I went to meet the babies and Karrie and Al. I did take a lot of pictures here so sorry if it is picture overload but they are so cute and there are three of them so it requires 3x the pictures to cover everything.

Karleigh and Madi.

Madi and me.

All of us with Madi.

With Jordan, he had a long day and was pretty fussy most of the time.

Madi on the other hand was quite happy. We had fun saying "Madi night night" and watching her flop over like she is going to sleep and then just giggling away.

Allie, I love her little nose and her adorable hair.

Cake time! They all grabbed the candles right way.

Allie didn't seem too interested.

Jordan wasn't either.

Madi dug right in and enjoyed her cake.

And made a big mess of herself.

Allie being happy.

I guess my necklace is yummy. It kept her from crying at least.

Madi all cleaned up and sleepy.

Jordan starting to cheer up.

Karrie and Madi with the purple dress we gave to her. Allie got a matching one and Jordan got a little button up shirt.

Now one of the sisters.

So glad Taryn could come and stay with me and that we finally got to meet Karrie, Al and their adorable little ones.

Trevor and Meagan's Wedding

My cousin Trevor just married Meagan and I am so happy for them. They have also been dating for a long time so it is exciting that they tied the knot, she was part of the family already. They got married in San Diego on April 23rd. I left Friday evening and flew back Sunday morning so I was really just there for the day of the wedding. It was so great to be down there to celebrate with them and to spend time with family, the warmer weather was also nice. Our uncle Randy performed the ceremony it was really nice. The wedding was at an outdoor Mexican restaurant, there was a really nice grassy area in the back with a fountain waterfall. The food was delicious and it was a really nice atmosphere where everyone could just sit and visit. And most importantly, they looked so happy! So here are the pictures, there are kind of a lot.

Some of the Rose girls.
