4th and the 4th TAGGED!

I got tagged by Lindsay Redd Hogan.  The rules are I have to look in the fourth folder in my pictures and pick the fourth picture.  I laughed at the picture Lindsay did.  What an awesome trip!

The best part is that my picture comes from the same trip!  This is Sara Jane, Lindsay, Alex and I (Stina was taking the picture!)  arriving from the States to Italy.  I think this is a few seconds before Alex realized she had left her wallet in the airport in Atlanta.  Luckily we had another friend who was going to be in the same city as us a few days later with his family so he brought it to her.  Oh Alex.  This really was one of the most fun trips I have ever been on!  I love you girls!

I tag Sara Jane Niedherhauser, Cait James and Nikki Larsen.

Congrats Ryan!

We have been quite the travelers the past few weeks.  This last weekend we went to Oakland, California with Brandon's family for Brandon's brother's wedding.  It was a wonderful wedding.  We are excited to have Laurel be a new addition to family.

We were able to accomplish another one of Brandon's dreams this weekend.  He has always been a Raiders fan and we went to a game.  It was quite the experience.  We had to be body searched by security before entering the stadium.  I literally did not feel safe walking around the stadium by myself.  Even Brandon felt a little nervous.  It was so fun though. 

The classy parking lot after many tailgaters.  



Even though the Raiders lost, we still had a blast.

Seattle

A few weeks ago Brandon and I went up to Seattle to visit family, have fun, shop and......go to the Counting Crows concert!!!  It was such an awesome trip.  We love, love, love Seattle and if everything go as planned we will hopefully be living there in the next few years.  

These cute kids are Brandon's cousins Quinnlin and Gaia.  They have so much energy!  We loved to be able to see them.

Here we are at the boat locks.  

There is a semi new park called the Olympic Park in the city.  It is awesome!  It consists of people donating money to build crazy sculptures or donating their own crazy sculptures.  We loved it.

We didn't really know what these were supposed to be.

Here we are at the concert!  Brandon's favorite band has always been Counting Crows, but he had never seen them in concert so as soon as he found out they were going on tour, maybe for the last time, we took the opportunity to see them in our favorite city.  They played with Maroon 5 and Augustana opened for them.  It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.  We both loved it.  Brandon was like a little kid in a candy store he was so excited.

Welcome Addy!

I hate that it has taken me so long to post this, but Brandon's sister Alicia had her baby a few weeks ago!  She is absolutely beautiful.  We are all so excited to have a baby on the Plewe side.  We love you Addy!

Monet to Picasso

Brandon and I went to the Monet to Picasso exhibit at the UMFA and it was awesome!  We highly recommend going to see it, but hurry because this is the last week it is here.

It's Been Awhile...

We have had such a crazy summer and sorry to say, but blogging was just not on my mind to do.  We have had such a great summer.  We've been to Cali, camping, weekend trips and hanging with friends and family.  We are sad to see summer come to an end, but excited for our favorite season, FALL!

Climbing with friends:

Look at how much Beckham looks like his dad

Grace's blessing

Newport Round 2!!!

We love having Ryan be able to come and visit us whenever we are in Newport

I know you have probably made fun of the people who rent these and ride down the boardwalk, but we did it and it was a blast!

A little breakfast at Myrtle's

All of these umbrellas belonged to my family!

Beckham's first time at the beach!

Happy Birthday Alex!

My oldest and dearest friend turned 22 last week.  She is so fabulous and we have so many memories together.  Happy Birthday Alex!  I love you!

Sydney is Getting Married!

Last week I went to Sydney Morgan's bachelorette party.  It was a blast.  Syd had to wear all white all night, hence the outfit.  It was such a fun night to hang out with the girls!

Fireworks

I just wanted to show off my cute husband's awesome photography skills.  He took this on the 4th up at Island Park.  I think it is such a cool pic.  

Our Good Friend Sato

I just wanted to dedicate a post to our good friend Sato.  He is our dearest and closest friend who we consider family.  Brandon makes fun of me because if we don't see him for more than a day I always ask where he is and why we haven't seen him.  Thanks for being such a great friend

Sato!

 

Island Park

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend!  We went up to our good friend Rylan's cabin in Island Park, near West Yellowstone.  It was a weekend full of laying out on the dock, eating, watching endless hours of Arrested Development and plenty of hot tubbing.  We love fun weekend trips with good friends.  Here are a few pictures of what went down over the weekend.

Boating with Tara and Sato

Brandon wearing his hot new swim suit

Brandon wake boarding.  This is something that I didn't actually know he could do in the whole 3 years we've been together.  I was way impressed that he got right up and was way good.

I just thought this was a funny picture.

Tara and Tay making hippy, flower wreaths

Bowling

I found this old picture of Brandon and I doing what we love most. It was taken about 2 years ago.... a lot has happened since then. Bowling is one of our very favorite things to do. We go almost every week. I'm not as good as I should be, but I can hang with all our other friends.

New Place

We moved into our new condo a few weeks ago and we are loving it! I never thought I would appreciate an efficient heating and air conditioning unit as much as I do now. We have been in a bit of a mess for the past few weeks, but it is slowly coming together. I went to Ikea last weekend with my awesome mother in-law, Bobbi, and we picked out a few goodies for the place. Here is a pic of the funky chair we picked out. Our condo is pretty modern so it fits in well.

I will be posting pictures of our place soon!

What's Been Happening

Life has been so busy the past few weeks it seems a blur.  Here are a few pics of what we have been up to lately....

                                                                        My Birthday!!!!!

Brandon making me a surprise birthday breakfast with all of our friends

We went up to Brighton to walk around and there was still three feet of snow everywhere!  You'd think at the first of June it would have been melted by then. 

Haley left on her mission!  I can't believe she is gone already.  I miss her so much and already am counting down the days to her return.  She is doing so great though and will be such a wonderful missionary.  We had a fun last week of hanging out, watching movies and t.v., lots of dinners and breakfasts and bowling.  

Newport with the Plewes!  We had so much fun on our trip with Brandon's family.  We spent most the time on the beach, reading, watching movies and eating a lot!  

                    We made sand animals.  Well, they made sand animals and I took pictures.

Rem had his ear phones on most of the trip.

Our good friend Josh Riddell got us some tickets to the Padres game.  It was so much fun to see him and we can't wait for him to come to Salt Lake again soon. 

                               This was the view from the roof of Josh's apartment building.
