September!

September was busy busy as most months are for DJ and I. So here goes the random post for my book. Got to get all the pictures in so I'll just jump around. 

We went up the canyon on Labor Day with my family for tin foil dinners in the fire (my FAVORITE). 
 Then the week after that was really exciting for me because my new SOFA CAME!!!! I was so thrilled how it turned out in my room. I got the clock too. Now I get to paint. That's the fun part. I'm hoping to get that going once it gets cold outside. It's going to be my winter project.
 On a sad note we had a leak in our house from our washer and didn't know it. Our ceiling started to bow and drip. It was really sickening to see holes in our ceiling. the joys of being a homeowner.


 My Mom and I did my Friend Sarah's wedding flowers and they turned out gorgeous. I posted most of them  on my peony blog.
                                         

I got a really cool opportunity to design a photo shoot for a company called Atley.com. I got to design three different rooms and do 20 "top shots". It was a great chance to learn and grow in another area of design. I truly loved doing it and wish it could be my full time job! 






 


I was so excited to finally get TREES! We got two little guys. One is a weeping mulberry that I planted right by my porch. The other is a flowering cherry that we added to our little "pond" on the corner. I love the way it all turned out. 


My parents and us went down to St. George to see the Tuacahn plays. Dj and I only went and saw Aladdin. It wasn't my favorite play but it was still fun to go see. 

The second night in St. George while everyone else was seeing the plays we went on a "high school date". We went miniature golfing, rode go carts, and did the batting cages at FIESTA FUN! Haha I actually really enjoyed myself. It was fun. 


This part is depressing! Its time to pull out Christmas for my work and let me tell you I DID NOT want to do this. We pulled out all the Christmas and I had to sort and tag it for the two stores, and of course it started to rain in the middle of sorting. This took TWO WEEKS to do. It was miserable but now Christmas is up and I am one thankful girl. 


 And I truly have the cutest dog alive! He is so adorable.

Random August

Well our August was full of random moments but it was a great last month of summer! 
We spent many Sundays at my Parents eating dinner outside and playing in the grass. I Love summer Sundays.


 DJ has really enjoyed the last month he has almost finished his Cafe Racer and his Uncle Rob has him fixing a couple of his dirt bikes which has gotten DJ really exciting about getting  his own dirt bike. So I'm sure that will be his next purchase.





Dj and I were invited by some of our Neighbors Eric&Jackie to go Jeeping up AF Canyon. So we took my Dads jeep since our is not quite equipped for climbing. We met up with 6 other jeeps and headed up the mountain. 


 About half way up the path we overheated and everyone was stuck behind us since it was a cliff on one side of us and a hill on the other. We took the rest of the trail slow and easy and made it to the top. I don't think Harley really liked all the bouncing.






The last of the month was spent busy with Weddings. I got business cards made up and am working on our website www.dianthusetc.com. I will put up some pictures of the weddings on my design blog.
 
 Then on a last random note.... I LOVE that we have had a few rain/thunder storms the last few days. Harley likes them too. He just stares out the window. I love it.

His new favorite place in the car is on the floor of the passenger side. It makes me laugh. He is too big for down there but always finds a way to fit. 

So random I know. Welcome to my life.

Summer Fun

Well as life flys by I continue to be an awful blogger. My book this year is going to be empty of details. 
So this post is going to be full of stupid little details that are all in a jumble. So DJ really wanted a tool box for his birthday in Aug and I really wanted to surprise him with it but he of course realized I was stashing away money for it and there went the surprise so he got it early. 



My parents invited us to RINGO STAR concert at the Usana. We thought it was so funny to watch all the older generation dance and party. I didn't even know half of the songs but it was a GREAT night out. 



  The Country Club just opened up a new pool and my Mom and I decided to go up and try it out one day. IT WAS FABULOUS!
 (do you see what I meant when I said random)

The last weekend in July we drove down to Green River for a Watkin Family reunion.


We camped out and floated down the river the next day. Harley and I got some sun on the beach while they floated down. IT WAS SO HOT the sand was burning our paws! 
 

 That Sunday I flew out to Vegas for work to go to the World Market. We got so much cute amazing things for Osmonds it is going to be a great fresh look for the store.
 The last day I was there my Mom and Dad flew into Vegas so my Mom met us and shopped for awhile it was so fun to have her around and see what market is all about.
 I flew home on DJ's Birthday so we could spend a little time together. He went out shooting with his buds and then came back and played poker. I feel awful he didn't get a cake or any presents on his birthday! Thankfully he kind of got a birthday weekend. His Mom and Rand came and took him for his favorite Sushi the next night. Then my parents took us up to Park City for the Arts festival and dinner at Bandits.








On a very random side note. (you know us we always have to talk about Harley) At Market they give you all kinds of free stuff and I got this wolf stuffed animal, well Harley LOVES it. One day I came home and he had his wolf and giraffe stuffed animal and Dj's remote control car all in a pile at the top of the stairs. I laughed my butt off. He loves his toys.
