1000 words.....

They say that pictures are worth a thousand words. Well if that is true, I believe that I just wrote my master's thesis. I am apparently not very good about staying updated on this whole blogging thing. I worked all summer at an architecture firm and got to play just a little bit. For those of you that don't know, school started today. That means that my life now become preoccupied with school and therefore things like blogging fall to the wayside. So I decided to give all of you a photo montage of some of the fun things that I got to do this summer. There are a lot of photos and multiple posts so be prepared! I am not joking about this. This may never happen again!
Last week I got to go spend some time in Texas with my sister, brother-in-law, and ADORABLE niece! It was so fun! Humid, but fun. We hung out at the beach and went to some great art museums. We also ate a TON of food. I have now found my favorite restaurant! CHUY'S! Too bad its in Houston. Most of the time I spent playing with Audrey, reading books, and just listening to the funny things she says. I love being an Aunt! I couldn't find a better job anywhere on the planet. Thanks for letting me come invade your home for a bit, Brekke!

The diva that she is!

Beaver Face!

Matt had been up for 26 hours when we decided to drag him to the beach. Poor hard working Doctor! He did have a great sunburn after this little nap.

This is the 1930's model that I found at the beach....oh wait, no its not! Thats just my gorgeous sister in her oh so flattering swimsuit!

Momma and Baby

Audrey loved the water!

This is her impersonation of a flamingo! Gotta love it!

She also figured out the fun of body surfing, but did like the salt in her eyes so much.

Audrey's playland

Awesome sculpture outside the Glassell School of Art

I don't know if anyone knows this, but I am obsessed with churches!

Museum of Fine Arts Houston

Taken from a Costco parking lot

Marc Rothko is my favorite modern artist and this chapel is devoted completely to his work. It was great!

This is to prove that I was actually there. Don't you love how this chapel has no windows? I do!

One more pic before the airport

Sisters! You can kind of see it, right?

SPIRAL JETTY!

My friend called me one day and told me to get ready cause we were going on a spontaneous adventure! So I did and this is where we went! Spiral Jetty! Oh the hidden treasures of Utah!



We saw a windmill fin on they way up!


And this is how Beccah felt about it!

And this is how Nicole felt!


Incredible Colors!

Got to keep the tradition up

Oh hey Beccah, nice pipe!



4th of July and Moose Sightings!

For the 4th of July, my family traditionally attends the Oakley rodeo. I am a little cowgirl at heart and I LOVE this traadition. This year Meggie came with us and we had a blast. Later that month we went to the cabin again and spent most of our time moose watching. It was great!


Don't we look excited?






This is Meggie trying to click her heals....may I point out the trying part!






HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!

This needs no explanation except to say: High School Musical Marathon! Thanks all for making this happen.


Bear Lake!

Here are some photos of a trip to Bear Lake that Alex was nice enough to make happen.
Here are some of my favorites. My friends were kind enough to be my models.
