4th of July
Over the 4th of July weekend we went down to St. George for Ryan Manwaring's blessing (Robert and Kortney's son). We had a lot of fun playing games with everyone, and really enjoyed dinner on Sunday with the Warburtons. We are grateful for their hospitality. While we were there I was able to give Ryan the blanket I made for him (I have made a baby blanket for each niece and nephew that is born). I think it turned out well!
I paper pieced the stars. I think I am most proud of the mitered corners on the binding.

Visit from Robert and Kortney
A while back Robert and Kortney (and Kaylee and Ryan and 2 of Kortney's sisters) came to visit. They were just passing through on their way to Idaho, but it was really fun to see them! Jason made scrumptious homemade meatballs to go with spaghetti, and we played RockBand together. Thanks for stopping by Robert and Kortney, please come again soon!
Haircut
Another thing I meant to blog about a while ago..
Also at the end of May I got my haircut. Really cut. I think I lost 7 inches. I like it a lot! It's been a year since I've had short hair, and it's been really nice this summer.
STYX, REO Speedwagon, .38 Special
I meant to blog about this weeks ago, but as (I hope) you can relate to, I got buried in a million other things.
On May 30th, I got to see my FAVORITE band perform at Rio Tinto stadium. I have seen STYX 9 times now (I think)! It was fun to see REO Speedwagon again (they perform with STYX quite often) and it was cool to see .38 special (this was the first time I've seen them). It was an awesome concert. During REO's "Roll with the Changes" American Idol finalist David Archuleta came on stage to sing with the band. This is one thing I really like about both STYX and REO Speedwagon. They frequently bring people out to sing with them. A couple of concerts ago at the state fair they had Govenor John Huntsman Jr. come out and play a jazz tune with thtem at the end of the show.
My wonderful dad bought my ticket, and my littlest brother accompanied me as my "date" since rock concerts still aren't Jason's favorite thing in the world. (Don't worry, I'll wear him down eventually). :) Thanks again Alan for being such a great date!
One thing that made this concert really cool was that at the very end of the concert STYX and REO came on stage together to perform a brand new song that the 2 bands wrote together titled "Can't Stop Rockin'!" It's a really cool song! Also as a sponser for the concert, RockBand released a track pack of 7 songs including 3 STYX, 3 REO, and their new song! Needless to say, this induced me to buy the RockBand game.
I look forward to seeing them in concert again soon!
