I have loved this pillow for a very long time. It's handmade in London. Sold on Etsy. $60.00. It's so hard to tell online what things will turn out like. Opinions? Is it worth it? Oh, what to do...

Saturday, Grant and I went on a hike in the heat of the afternoon, in American Fork Canyon. Afterwards we found a river to cool off in. This would be me posing...

Good news. Our neighbor has a Bob Cat so we used it to clear out all of the weeds. It's definitely not as wonderful as grass but I'm extremely happy it's no longer a forest.

If you're looking for a relaxing afternoon, try the panini at 712... and sit on the patio, they even have coke in a bottle to top it off.
If you're in the mood for a good book. Try this.

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities... I think one of the reasons why is because it's where Grant and I went on our honeymoon.

...

Our fifth anniversary is coming up this fall. That seems to me, like the perfect reason to visit.

Saturday night, Grant and I decided to take responsibility for the weed problem growing in our yard. After a trip to Lowes Grant started hacking away. I watched him work and read a magazine.

Then I spruced up the front door.

Not landscaping + Not weeding all summer = A yard that's a total disaster

...

On a designers note - I know the front door mat is too small for the front door, but it was $10.00 at Target and I liked it.

Grant comes from a long line of dentists, so whenever I need work, it's just a plane ride away. Chloe came along because my parents are in Vegas. Grant was playing golf in Tahoe last week and was on the 15th hole when Chloe and I arrived in the Sacramento airport... so we had four hours to kill.

So we

...

Ate pizza on the bus stop benches.

And then found a shady spot underneath a tree to watch a movie. It didn't turn out too well because the buses and taxis were too loud.

So we played Uno. Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again... 36 times to be exact.

We then found the Mexico terminal which was air conditioned and abandoned. We continued Uno in here until Grant picked us up.

I thought I was going to have two root canals but didn't even need one, thankfully. So in between dental work all we did was swim and play with Grant's nieces.
...

It was a lot of fun and perfectly relaxing.

I really want this dress. I mean really really want. But I've purchased enough summer dresses this season. Too many dresses with not enough places to go.

We spent the 4th of July in Manti with family. We played golf Thursday, had a pool party, watched the parade, had our own "field of fire", went to the park, had a water fight, played golf again, had a picnic, played pool and watched more fireworks. Grant and I golfing.

4 wheeling.

Watching fire works.

Chloe and I looking mean with our new tattoos. The lady in the tattoo booth asked Chloe which one of us was older...

Playing pool in my uncles chicken coop.

On Saturday we went up to our cabin. This cabin was built by my great grandpa in the 60's. So when I say cabin I really mean camping with a roof.

We went mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rode 4 wheelers and motorcycles, played games and had plenty of smores. This may be old news but smores made with peanut butter cups are pretty amazing.

It's nice to have cute beverages when people come to visit. My favorite are the Izze soda's. (They're all natural made of real fruit juice, for those of you who care about those kinds of things). I went to Costco yesterday and stalked up on them. The added bonus is they look cute in the fridge.

...

And just a side note... in order for the air conditioning to work the breaker needs to be turned ON.

...

This info could have saved us 10 days of boiling and the ac repair guy a trip to our house.

...

Reminds me of when we first got married and I was doing laundry and had too many towels in, which caused the machine to spin unevenly. So I panicked, called Grant, told him the brand new washer was broken. He called the repair man. The repair man came all the way out. Took two towels out, shut the machine and pressed on.

...

Yeah, I felt dumb.
