September was full of fun.

Don't worry everyone, I haven't forgotten about the rest of my Boston/New York trip. That will come soon. I promise. Moving on to the next segment of my year 10. September. September was a lot of fun. I hadn't been sucked into school too much, so we packed as much as possible into the month we could.

We went to the fair. Some sailors sang for us. We danced for them.

There were animals. They smelled, but we still had fun.

Themes are a very important part of my life, and R usually agrees with me. We were so excited for the new season of glee we just had to have a themed party to celebrate. Our theme: New York. Then we thought, how ever will we decorate.... oh I know let's make Broadway musical posters featuring US. So we did, at 3 am. We opened up her costume box, and went to town.
Our favorite:
Wicked.

Practically Perfect in Mary Poppins

Clearly this is Lion King. I know, my mane is great.

We are the coolest Cats around

For the party we dressed up as New York as we could. I went with Vanessa from Gossip Girl. Carly is wearing the traditional all black of a true New Yorker.

Blair, Artist, Vanessa and Serena

Another List item was to ride the Sundance full moon lift. Another thing I had never done before and it was a lot of fun. We thought it was really cold. If only we could go back to that weather. It is much colder now.

R. knew a guy on the inside and we got to ride for free!

I was dared to put my hand in the ice for 30 seconds. Deal. Not even hard.

It is not a great September with out a celbration for Caity's birthday. We had to out-do last years awesome Vegas Themed Party, and after a lot of thought we came up with the perfect theme. All things England.

My dad made this awesome Mural for our wall, with all of the best parts of London! He was so great he even came down to do caricatures throughout the whole party thanks Dad! (check out his awesome art work here)

This was our tribute to the West End.

A party is only as good as it's playlist. We listened to only British artists.

Magical Harry Potter food.

Cauldron Cakes

Chocolate Frogs

We even had Butterbeer, (and really classy cups....)

Some of the guest included JR Tolkien

The Spice Girls, well at least Sporty, Scary and Posh.

Cho Chang and Sir Elton John even made appearances!

The Birthday girl dressed up as none other then Salazar Slytherin.

September was definitely a month to remember.

The Rest of Summer YESness.

So I am going all the way back to the end of summer. I will give you the readers digest version of how my life ended. Ok it didn't end but school sure did suck out a lot of the fun! Rach and I were determined to check off as many things as possible from our list. We didn't get to everything but we did a pretty good job!

One of those things included going to a rodeo. So we did.

It was my very first Rodeo, and it was more fun than I expected it to be!

We also needed to get shakes (and maybe fries too) from Granny's in Heber. They were DELICIOUS.

Afterwards we had a little photo shoot by Deer Creek, while we ate our shakes. We are awesome what can I say!

THEN, THE BEST NIGHT EVER HAPPENED....

She & Him came to SLC to play for FREE at the Twilight Concert Series. Love them. Loved everything about that night. We kept screaming Best Night Ever. And that is what it was.

Pre-excitement waiting photoshoot.

We caught up on our Vegetarian reading.

So much excitement.. and waiting.

Some of the best people in this world.

When I grow up I want to be just like Zooey.

The Crew.

It wouldn't be a complete summer without a trip to the zoo. They had baby elephants, monkeys, and bats. I love the zoo, it takes me back to the days of sack lunches and field trips!

Not very many people know this, I learned it from Caity this summer, but Kangaroos are actually a mythical creature... somehow so are igloos...

We had a thing this day.

Giraffes are my favorite animal.

Look how cute we are.

Another thing crossed off our list. We love saying Yes to Life!

Right after school started we figured summer wasn't over until the first day of fall so we were able to squeeze in a few last things off our list. Including a trip to Vegas for Fashion's night out! If I couldn't be in NYC for this why not Vegas! We had so much fun.

Our first night out on the town.

The Girls. Love her.

Right before we got on the NY NY roller coaster. Awesome.

Right after! So much fun!

Night 2 included Phantom and dancing!

We had the Best seats ever. So awesome. We maybe weren't sitting in our own seats though.... hehehe.

Stage+Rach+Me=lots of pictures.

Hand at the level of your eye crazy Phantom way.

Today is one of the coolest days ever. 10.10.10. I loved today. To celebrate I thought it would be fun to have a 10 course meal. Lucky for me my Mom/family also thought it would be fun. So here is a picture from every course of our silly way to celebrate a special and fun day!
