David Archuleta

Kaylee and I went to see David Archuleta in concert in Pocatello. It was her first concert and I figured that this would be a perfect one for her to go to. She only had a few questions like...."Why are all those girls screaming like that?" ....... "Where are they selling the shirts?" It was a fun night with my not so little anymore Kaylee.

Of course we had to take a picture of him!

Here is a some video of the concert.

Emily's Wedding

Brandon's sister Emily got married a couple of weeks ago. I loved getting to do her hair and help her get ready! It was so fun. All of Brandon's siblings made it to her wedding which made it a really special day.

Here is all of them together, except the bride. It is always a sight to see all of them together. Brandon, Cheri, Becky, Julie, Chad, Tami, Travis, Rachelle, and Jonathan. What a beautiful crew!

Brandon and I posing for a pic together. Weddings always remind me of how grateful I am to be married to him! If ya look really close he has a black eye!! He got beat up by his 3 year old daughter. Who knew?

Hair show in Boise

This last weekend I went to a hair show in Boise with Randi, Annie, and Stacey! Wow!

It was so awesome, overwhelming, exhausting, and most importantly FUN! We drove up Saturday after school and made it to Boise just in time to head to Cheescake Factory! There is nothing like carbs late at night! The next day was full of classes and ohhhh the products and tools! This is one of the classes we went to by Pureology!

Randi, Annie and I in the Redken class.

I hope to post a few more soon. Thanks Stacey for letting me steal your pics. (unknowingly)

Makeup class

My school offered a makeup course the last two weeks and unfortunetly I wasn't able to take it. As sad as I was, I was still able to be a part of it, well a little bit. My cute sister Heather got to model for my friend Kayla. I got to be the assistant in the morning. Here is Heather right before the shoot. I will post pictures of the photo shoot when I get to see them.

Aww here is Kayla and Heather. They are both amazing looking huh! What an awesome career path I am choosing. I get to play dress up all day long.

My little cheerleader!

Kaylee decided that she wanted to sign up for the cheer clinic at Skyline High School. She loves to cheer and dance! (Great...I better start saving now) Here are some cute pictures with her BFF Remington.

Notice the cool hip knot! Who knew the 80's were back in?



These two are so cute! Can you image them in 5 or 6 years? I am in so much trouble!

Engaged!

Brandon and I were engaged 8 years ago today. Wow! It really did seem like yesterday until I looked at these pictures. Here is our wedding announcement and another engagement picture. They were taken up Logan Canyon. A few little details from the day.........He wanted to go shopping in Logan so we went. When we got to Logan he just drove past the mall and said he wanted to show me something. We ended up at the temple around sunset where he got down on one knee and proposed in front of quite a few people. To this day, I still have never seen him that nervous!

Aww to be 22 again! ......Wait never mind......I just want my jean size back!

The infamous Challis ID

Here's the back story: All growing up people would ask me, "Are you from Challis, ID", "Were you born there", "Have you been to Challis" ..... you get the picture. So, I decided that since I had never been there before, I would take the voyage for my 30th birthday. We dropped the kids off at my moms for the night and just the two of us left on our adventure. I was hoping for a little self discovery along the way. Now for the next 30 years I will have a different response to the never ending, redundant, and expected questions associated with my name.

(My parents got the name from a girl that my dad knew before my parents were married.

That is an entirely different story that I haven't got to the bottom of yet.)

My cute escort!!!


By the way, I officially visited Challis Park, as you can see! Somehow it was so funny while we were there. How many people have actually reach their own destination? ha ha



As you can see, it was a giant town. It is actually amazing beautiful this time of year.

As my CRAZY journey towards self discovery came to an end, I realized that I am no closer to discovering who I really am than before I left. What I did discover is how each day I am blessed to have an amazing best friend by my side to help me figure it all out. He pushes me to become better and embraces all the junk in between. Muah, love ya Brandon.
