8 Summertime Events...

1. When I arrived in AZ my friends (knowing how obsessed I am with Guitar Hero) all helped plan a "Rocker Night." We all dressed in our best rocker gear and played Guitar Hero all night. We even had a contest where everyone voted who the top three rockers of the night were. The winners had created avatars of themselves on the game. Unfortunately there were a few cheaters who voted for themselves/payed people to vote for them COUGHCalebBartonCOUGH but we made avatars anyways!!







2. Play dates with Willie's Sister Sarah and his niece Kaylee! Sarah likes the food I make her (I'm not that good of a cook but she enjoys it so what the heck you know?). We went to movies, swam, just chilled, went on adventures, made a package for Willie full of lots of "American Spices" as Willie calls it, and I was the photographer for Kaylee's 2nd Birthday! I LOVE THE HAYNES FAMILY!



3. Being on the Big Screen at the D-Backs game HOLLA!!! While walking back to the light rail afterwords, I felt an arm around me and a voice saying, "I liked your dancing on the big screen!!" Thinking it would be someone I knew, I turned to face this older guy that I didn't even know.. It was just a little bit creepy. D-Backs game was a success!



I went with my awesome friends Eric Hunt (above), Alex Adams, Chloe Nielsen, Christiaan Scmid (Below), Daniel Walter, Caleb Barton, and Emily Rogers (Not pictured)



4. Taking master classes from So You Think You Can Dance winner Benji Schwimmer and Jason Celaya who danced on Alter Boys on Broadway. They are both members of the church and they taught Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Broadway, and some Ballroom. It was nice to get out of my Ballet shell this summer and learn some new things and it was SO MUCH FUN!

This is Benji


I completely butchered up the Ballroom dance he was teaching us and he danced as my partner for a bit to try and help me...He looked at my hand and told me he liked my CTR ring! YES! I was freaking out just a little bit. I told Alex (who also took classes with me) that I messed up on purpose just so I could dance with him.

This is Jason


His classes are so great because even though I'm TERRIBLE because I am too much of a ballerina to get "low" and be relaxed, He still made me feel like I rocked. I pretended I was pro and did the best I could (notice how we are both sweaty) I worked really hard! It was an awesome experience.

5. Writing Willie and getting 2 letters from him this whole summer. Even though it isn't much, I cherish every single one!! I miss his GUTS but guess what?! He has been out 6 months this month!!! It feels good to have a good chunk of time behind me.



6. Tim McGraw/ Lady Antebellum Concert with my mom!! AKA Best concert EVER.

Just look how cute we are...


This is Lady A. What do you want me to say? They were so amazing.



Tim Pointed me out in the crowed. I think he liked my new cowboy hat. Or maybe he was checkin' out my hot mom. I'm not sure, but it for sure looks like he is pointing at us.





WE LOVE YOU TIM!!!

7. California for 4th of July Weekend.

These are my sand castle helpers: My Nephews Ryker and Taggart. My Nieces, Brinley and Taryn were also great helpers but they were off finding some sea shells, feathers, and other sand castle decorations at the time of the picture.



Angels game with the boys! My brother in law got 4 sweet tickets to the Angels game. It was a boys night out but they resorted to inviting me because no other boys around were old enough to enjoy the game. I was happy to go! Taryn wanted to go last second while we were packing up the car and Taggart said, "Taryn it's BOYS ONLY!!!" When Taryn asked why Aunt Hannah was going, Taggart said, "Its boys only and Hannah, Taryn."

A bunch of people around us caught the foul balls and me and dad enjoyed some fries and a Ruby's Shake, while Taggart and Jason enjoyed Angels dogs!





Fourth of July Ribs! Messy but delicious!



Fourth of July Fireworks! We were right under the "Firework Blasters" as Aimee called them. Coolest Firework show I have ever seen. Before the fireworks they had a band that sang a ton of great songs and Brinley could not sit still, she was dancing so sassy! Dad decided to go dance with her. They can really move their hips!





8. Being with my best friends again FINALLY! Cali trip is coming shortly...


The summer is coming to a close... Mom and Dad packed up all my things (for my new apartment at the U) into a Uhaul truck and went to Utah early to go visit Leslie and almost new baby. I'll be flying out there in a few weeks after I go to California with my best friends. I don't want to go back to school but it's coming... too soon. Summer wasn't long enough.
