The Dog Days of Summer

After such a cold and dismal start to summer, the hot weather is finally here.  There are so many things I love about summer - hiking, BBQing, going to the Farmers Market...

Here's an update of how my summer is going.

A few weeks ago I went down to Arizona to visit my cousin Kenna and her husband Ken.  It just so happens I went down during the hottest week of the year.  Can you say 119 degrees?  I love to visit my family down in Arizona, I always have such a good time!  My Uncle Kenny took me out for my favorite Mexican food at Jordans.  I also went to In-N-Out Burger with Ken and Kenna.  I wish we had one here!

OK, you are just going to have to tip your head, or your computer, sideways because I can't figure how to rotate!

Anyway,  it was Haley's 12th birthday while I was there.  Happy Birthday Haley!  She is such a cutie!  We went to the spa and she got a cute new haircut and a pedicure and I got a manicure.  Thanks Kenna!

Saturday morning Ken and I went to a spin class and then he made his Saturday morning breakfast burritos.  Yum!

Here are 2 of my new favorite movies:

My newest summer obsession is So You Think You Can Dance.  

Chelsie (who happens to be from Utah) and Mark are my favorite couple.  My other two favorites are Katie and Joshua, and Carrington and Twitch.    These dancers are amazing!  Watching them makes me wish I knew how to dance.

My other summer obsession will be starting this Saturday.

Stop by my house on any night during the month of July and you will likely find me sitting on my couch, sweating, and watching the Tour.  I'm not really sure who I'll be rooting for this year.  There have been so many shake ups since last summer I don't really know who's riding.  I know the Tour directors didn't invite Team Astana this year so I'll miss seeing Levi Leipheimer and Contador.  :(

Have a happy 4th of July!
