weekend work

I have the best job! I work at the BYU athletic department doing media relations for the sports teams and absolutely love it. One of the perks of the job is getting to work games... which usually leaves my husband to fend for himself for some fun. Luckily, we have pretty amazing kids in our life to keep him company!

inspire

I love Sunday! It's my favorite day of the week for so many reasons. I love spending the whole day with Mike! I love going to church and feeling inspired. I love having that renewed desire to be better.

Happy Sunday!

Happy day!

home on the ranch

I love going home and spending time with my family. We live on a ranch in the mountains of California, the perfect place for adventures!

We dig ramps for our "slip n' bleed"...

so we can do this...

We paintball...

Ride quads to the lake...

Play "dunk" basketball...

Practice our aim at the shooting range...

BBQ delicious food...

Hang out at the "Red Bridge"...

Go duck hunting...

Ride at the track...

... and have a great time :)

the boys of fall

My brother Chad is another baller in my family... a football STUD! Chad is the sweetest, most tender, loving person on the planet, but when he puts those football pads on, watch out! I may be a little biased as his sister, but I can't think of a hotter kid! Tall, dark and handsome. Not to mention a genetic masterpiece with his BUILT bod! He graduates high school this year and is going to be breaking hearts at BYU soon, and I couldn't be more excited to have him here with me! I couldn't ask for a better brother!

He loves when I take pictures of him :)

I love this guy so much!

As much as I love basketball, I can't wait until football season!

 

lake powell

Michael invited me to go to Lake Powell with him the last weekend in September. I had never been and was so excited! I absolutely love the lake and have found my new favorite place. Michael got invited to go to be the "boat boy" for a few couples, and I was more than happy to be another helper! We couldn't have gone with more fun people! Even though we went as friends, this was the trip that his uncle Shawn knocked some sense into him :)

Look at my sexy husband!

the two ballers

My little brother Steele (who is not so little anymore!) is a basketball pro! Luckily for him, so is Michael. The two love playing every time we're together. Last time we were home they played the entire day. You can't get these two off the court!

The boys were digging the "tongue-out" look...

They weren't too happy the paparazzi was out taking pictures...

Steele has the best shot around, which explains why he beat Michael in just about every shooting game there is. But Michael did have a little bit of height advantage when it came to one-on-one :) 

The boys were definitely tired after a long day...
