summer, summer, never ever had a shorter summer!

alright summer started off great, i went up to logan for memorial day weekend like ususal and it just so happened that kay and kelsey were there. so me, kay, kels, and katie all decided to play and then playing turned to camping which was a blast as it always is with us girls.
Sunday going to church, just decided to take a picture because who knows when any of us will be together again!



sometimes when i am doing gingers hair she gets super cold. yes this was one of those times, and so she put the cape above her head and let the dryer warm her right up!I sure do miss that girl and all the crazy times we had at school, clauds, in the car, wherever!
on beck's last day of school we decided to go to our favorite restaurant. Flour Girls and Dough Boys has never had such loyal customers, and we can often be seen there on a day we get tips! Check the place out if you are ever in american fork. It is the most cute quaint little bakery/cafe i have ever been to with deluxe food and great service!
Ginger snap's last day at the forum! it was also her bridal shower and so since the three roomies were together we decided to pose for some pics on our lovely orange wall. it was such a blast living with there two girls. we definitely had some grand old times.
Down to see the coolest people cedar city has got to offer i went for the fourth of july. it was so stinking much fun to be with kris and ty and miss lydia! they are so great always and whenever i go down a good time is sure to be had. happy late 4th everyone!
at some state park in utah that i dont remember the name! still with the cloves, and on our way up to bryan head! we hiked and saw some pretty beautiful stuff that day. what an adventure!
going to seattle, we're going to have a good time! we drove and drove and drove and drove... but it was way fun and worth it! it always is when with the lovely curly locked caitlin
HELLO SEATTLE!!! hello pike place! hello to the most wonderful trip ever! we definitely can say that we spent the last few days with kirst before her wedding in style. who can honestly say that before their wedding they spent their time frolicking around seattle washington with no cares in the world?
Us three girls on the pier by some rad fountains before we sent kirst off to the temple. we had so much fun wandering around being our crazy selves together. we had not been together all of us since like november, so it was a long overdue reunion.
just a cool pipe system. who knows what its for, but i am definitely not thinking its a one way like the sign is saying... mulitple ways ahead!!
seattle from the convertible that brought us there.
we decided to take a ferry ride over to the cutest little island called bainbridge. we got there pretty late so all the shops were closed up but it was so cute and so quiet and i am sure in the day time it is a great place to be. and it was at night time too! the sun was setting and we just got to get away from all the people for a minute and wander around the park and sit at the waters edge.

pulling up to bainbridge after the joyous little ferry ride

cait smelling the beautiful flowers at the beginning of our island adventures!
all of the names i paid attention to on the island were sea names and this was just harbor square sign in the setting sun. so much beauty is all around us if we just open our eyes and look!
where we decided to wait for the next ferry to take us back to seattle. it was so quiet because all the boats had come in for the evening and the longer we sat there the more lights started turning on in the most beautiful beach houses across the harbor.
the little town of mukiltea. i dont know why i have such an intense love for lighthouses but we decided to drive up there because some great ladies told us there was a lighthouse there, but other than that the town was pretty small but the beach was fun and there were kids and families enjoying the nice weather.
there was the most random tree stump from who knows where just at the water's edge waiting to be climbed upon. so many grand beautiful things to be found and seen on the west coast journey.
When we first arrived at edmunds there was the cutest dad and son and after he was watching us take pictures of eachother he offered to take pictures of us. he was so great and just wanted to talk and talk to us about our travels and such. it's not very often that you meet people from Wyoming in a tiny town in Washington.
the sun setting over the bay in a little town called Edmunds. it was such a gorgeous sunset and we had such a a glorious time at the little tiny beach reading books, and drawing in the sand.
Cute callie with her tongue out. she was so excited to be climbing with all of us and the tongue out only confirmed her concentration when it was her turn!
Liz and i happened to be rock climbing at the same time, and when i was coming down and she was going up we decided to stop on a ledge and take some pictures. i was so proud of those two little girls for climbing as high as they did and for just hanging out while the rest of us climbed.
one of the nights at the first official Keeley reunion. spencer for some odd reason decided he wanted to kiss my entire face while eating oreos, so i became an oreo as well! what a silly kid. he would grab my head hold it still and plant a big one wherever he was going.
It was so fun to get to take the girls with me to the concert! we had such a blast, got there early as pie, saved seats for all to enjoy, and basked in the glory of jack johnson together. i would not have wanted to spend this night with anyone else other than the wonderful girls i shared it with!
ginger--- my date to the big night! her and jon bought the tickets for me for my birthday, one for me one for a date, and turns out she was the best date i could ever hope for! and i didnt really want to spend it with anyone else actually! what a wonderful gal to leave her husband for a night for me! talk about love...
The setup of USANA, i cant complain about where we were, we could sit, stand, dance, and still see him at least on the big old screen they had! Such beautiful images were put up on that screen! i wanted to take a picture of everything that would come up but as soon as i got the camera out the image would be replaced with another one. what an AMAZING concert! JACK JOHNSON I LOVE YOU!
Me and my jack lovers, cait and aubree, at the end of the most beautiful concert known to man kind. it was so great and so fun to share it with all my blonde girls!
Last night i was picking up gretch and we came upon this stop sign. I just love running into stop signs that have been graffitied... they are so funny and i always wonder what the person was doing or thinking when they did what they did to them. so message of the day, "STOP listening to awful music"!

blessed

WOW what a summer. what a summer. lots of road trips, weddings, and love. I am so completely blessed as i sit here writing this blog. What started out as a great summer ended as one as well. Who cares about the ups and downs and the in betweens. I have the best family in the world, the best friends I could ever ask for, and have gone to some of the best and coolest places anyone could ever want to go to. (pictures promised soon) July, I dont even hardly remember. The end was filled with sharing my ginger with the love of her life, which was so great to finally get to see them together forever, with everything that entailed. how great love is! then quickly the week after me and Cait drove up to Seattle to send our loveliest Kirst and Scott on their merry little wedded way. So many weddings from all the people i love and know the best in my life. I feel so blessed to have spent the last days with ging and to have had the privelage to grow up with kirst and to have been able to spend the last week with her for one last go at it with the girls! then back to reality i came. back to school and work which was at this point the craziest and most busy season that the lehi cookie cutters has had. wow. wow wow wow. As the days have gone by i have done some very wonderful things. Just chatting with my wonderful roomates, (gretch and alli) and spending time riding bikes with the gilbert family on sunday evenings.
Last saturday was so great, i was sitting in school when in walked a friend that has left and gone to canada. WHAT A SURPRISE! it was so wonderful to see Laura, she is just one of those superb ladies who knows so much and has sadly experienced every thing there is to experience, but can then advise and listen and it was so enlightening to have her with me and to talk to her once again. And the best part is that we went and saw Eat, Pray, Love. AMAZING! If anyone is every in need of a life changing movie that is the one to see. I can honestly say that it changed my life. It was such an eye opener because after everything that we go through in life, there is still hope. As long as we have a dream we can dream it. And as long as we are willing to perservere through the rough times there will be a time in our life that is so blissful and full of joy that we can hardly handle it. wow what a great time. Just hang in there, life is worth it in the end!

Hello one Hello all

It's my time to update, Hello blogging world! I am just sitting at my lovely house in Wyoming enjoying the calm night and watching mom fix my clothes while blogging and putting music on the computer for dan. wow what a great full eve! I have so many pictures to show but sadly can not put them on now except for ones that are a tad old. oh well what do you do? post the old ones of course so everyone can know of the fun times i have had in the past! and so you all know i am going to the wonderful bear lake tomorrow so more fun times are to be expected excitedly. what a great time to be home this has been! filled with friends, family, and hair! friday night was kirst's bridal shower and holy moly how strange it is to be giving her away! i almost feel like a parent and i dont know if its good or bad... ha ha ok so its so good! just sad to see one fall out of the nest. 1 down some to go! i just love coming home because i always feel so completely loved by everyone around. my family especially this time. its so great to be yelled at while driving away from a almost 3 year old saying "BYE BYE LOVE YOU" over and over again until i am out of sight and being jumped on by a little rambunctious hippie as i pull into the house. and you cant forget the unforgettable smile by the chubby king... what a welcome committee they have going. i just cant wait to see my adorable biker and frog prince! and wish i could just play with these little presents all the time. someday we will all be able to play and play and play until our hearts are content.Have a lovely day and dream a disney dream if anything gets you down, or even if you are feeling up!
