the Residents of Hogle Zoo

Who doesn't love a day at the zoo? Here's some pictures from my most recent adventure there at the Hogle Zoo - surprised my friend for her birthday with a giraffe encounter where she got to feed the giraffes!


Lehi Roundup Rodeo

Recently found myself at the Lehi Roundup Rodeo with some friends from my new ward and thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. This was only my second rodeo experience (although I still have no explanation as to why that is - I should have attend so many more for having grown up in TX). My first rodeo was in Wyoming with my grandfather, a true cowboy, my mom thinks I get  my country roots from him, I'd agree with her.
To sum up my experience, I loved every second. I loved seeing the Stetsons and belt buckles, cowboy boots, plaid shirts, etc. One of my wishes as a little girl was to be a barrel racer in fact - maybe that dream will come someday -we'll see. 
The down home country feel is what I love the most. I hope to have that someday!

 Texas Longhorns and young cowboys - rodeo openers. 
Bucking broncos - a great event to watch! Such an exciting event - one of my favorites.

A&J Engagements

  Another happy couple! Congrats to Amy and John - I truly enjoyed taking their photos and both were such good sports through the whole thing - we visited Castle Park in Lindon, UT, and Cascade Springs. Loved the locations and these two are just cute together.
