Our Favorite American Idol

Last Monday Brooke White came to the Barnes and Noble in West Jordan for a CD signing, so Logan, Libby, and I went down to visit with her. She is the sweetest person I have ever met and though we didn't have anything for her to sign (we bought her latest album on itunes) we brought her some mindy mints and she was excited. She sang four songs from her new album and she is so amazing! I love seeing her perform. If you are interested her new album is called High Hopes and Heartbreak and it is available at itunes. Also she is coming in concert to the Avalon in SLC on September 26. Here is a picture of the three of us along with Kirt's mom Bonnie and grandma Jackie:

If you didn't know Brooke is really close friends with my sister Kady and we have had the chance to spend time with her and see her perform a few times. Logan offered her everything in his wallet for her guitar (31 dollars) she politely declined but she let him play it for a little while:

We decided to make trip down to see little Lincoln (and Lesha) before we went home. Here is a picture of him from that visit, he gets cuter every time:

School starts tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to find time to post once in a while, there are a few things coming up that I am really excited for so I hope to be able to share them.

A few more summer adventures

As our summer is coming to a close I wanted to add a few more things we were able to do this summer:
We attended the Fireworks at Weber State for the first time together:

We rented a Kayak from the WSU Wilderness Recreation Center and took it up to Causey Dam. It was really fun and we are hoping to find time to go again soon.

Shot clay pigeons up in the Uintas

Hiked to Ruth Lake

Rode down a homemade zipline

and saw a moose

We have one more week before fall semester starts so we'll see what else we fit in to our fun filled summer.

An Apology

Dear ESPN Radio AM 710 in Los Angeles,
I am sorry I may have gotten you in trouble this afternoon. My sister (who is attending the Dodger's game tonight in honor of mormon night) called me and asked me to verify some information you gave her over the airways. "Is the food really half price tonight at the game, can you check the website?" Sure, I can check, I sit at a computer all day and I take a short break from work to figure this out (along with updating my blog with the results). The problem was not answered on the website so, naturally, I called the phone number listed for the stadium. The gentleman that answered my question ( the answer was no) was a little confused and as our conversation progressed, a little upset. What radio station did you hear this on? I need to call them, this information is extremely incorrect. The problem was, I didn't know which radio station, I am at my desk without a radio, and in Utah (not LA) So I promised to call him back with the name of the radio station. Which I promptly did only after explaining to him the circumstances which the free food information was given it was something like "Everyone is going to see Manny play, so if he doesn't play tonight the stadium should offer half off food or something". He was grateful for the information and I am not sure if he is still planning on contacting you (ESPN Radio in LA) but if he does, I am truly sorry for this mix up. P.S.
For the record not everyone is going to see Manny play, rumor has it Elder Ballard is throwing out the first pitch.
