Last Saturday I got in touch with
my motorcycle side! More specifically:
my Harley side.















My friend Carey works in the BYU football offices as an assistant to head
coach Bronco Mendenhall. Bronco and his wife Holly have a foundation
and Saturday their foundation sponsored two fabulous events! Carey asked
me if I could help out at both... and that's how I got there.

First thing in the morning (6 am people!) we headed up to Timpanogos
Harley where 100+ riders joined Bronco for a 300-mile motorcycle ride.
Carey and I checked in riders and took pictures.

 

After all the riders had left we headed up to the location of
our second event, a barn. We arranged flowers, and did
some more decorating to spruce up this fancy barn for the
Cowboy Ball in the evening.


The Cowboy Ball is an auction/dinner/party. All the
money from both events go to the Mendenhall's foundation
that raises money for special needs children in Utah. How
great! It was fun being part of something like that. Here's
a few more pictures from the night.

Last weekend Jarom, my sister Lindsey and I were all in Las Vegas to visit  my other sister Casi and her hubby Daniel. They're moving to Pittsburg (congrats on the new job brother!) so we wanted to get in a good visit before they moved too far away. 

Of course, it was AMAZING! They were very gracious hosts.

First, a few sister pics :)

 We visited a lovely chocolate
factory while we were there. The
chocolate came with an ice pack
at the bottom of your bag so it wouldn't
melt in the 90+ degree weather. Genius.

Cactus.

 One night we convinced the
boys to paint (a few) of their fingers.
Priceless.

Found these gems in a candy story. 

Yummmmm

Well, nothing new to report. As always :) We're going to visit my sister Casi and her husband Dan in Vegas this weekend, however, so we'll have pictures and such after that.

Jarom has gotten to do some fun things lately though! Occasionally he works free lance for TNT and ESPN at NBA games, RSL, etc. So, for the NBA playoffs this weekend, TNT asked him to help up in Salt Lake and be the stage director ... which basically means he gets to sit courtside. There's more to the job description but I'm not sure of all the details so we'll leave it at that.

Here's a photo he sent me of his view during the game. Awesome!

Last Christmas Jarom got me the new iPhone and it has literally changed my life.
Best thing about it? Fantastic photos! That phone is incredible. So today
I decided to put all my photos on my laptop to free up some space on my phone. Here
are just two of my favorites:

How happy does this kid look?













This was taken just last weekend when we were
in California for the BYU volleyball matches.
Paid for? Check.










Anyway, unknowingly, this has become a plug for the iPhone. Originally I just
wanted to put up a few pictures. Oh well. Here's a few more of our trip to Cali.
