America's Got Talent

This summer, my mom and I started watching America's Got Talent and this is the first season I really got into. I loved it!! It was fun watching all the performances, seeing who goes home and who moves on. The final four consisted of two of my favorites acts.

Prince Poppycock

What an act! He created this character named Prince Poppycock and sings so amazingly well! He is a great entertainer. I was sad that he got 4th place but I'm so happy that he made it that far.

Fighting Gravity

Fighting Gravity was my favorite and they got 3rd place. They are a group of fraternity brothers and they quit school to be on this show. They have this amazing act that I still can't figure out. It is very fun to watch and I know they will have a show in Vegas some day soon. When that happens, I'm driving down there and seeing them. They are so cool!!

I really enjoyed watching this with my mom. We had fun laughing and complaining together as we saw acts we loved and hated come and go. I had to watch the finals by myself and it just wasn't the same without her. I'm excited for the next season and I wish these two acts the best of luck in their inevitable futures!

Alaska: Aug. 29-Sept. 6

I decided to take a little trip to Alaska by myself right after moving to Utah before I got settled in a new job. I stayed with different people, but mostly my mom's best friend, Jen Wood. My aunt and uncle let me borrow their car which was a huge help. I was able to drive around and see everything and everyone. It was a fabulous week!

Wasilla Lake with Linnea

I love fireweed.

Linnea Holbrook. I have missed this girl! I am so glad that I got to see her before she left to college. She left half way through my visit.

Home <3

Pioneer Peak. I went there for FHE with the Single's Ward.

Finger Lake, my favorite lake in Alaska. I have spent a lot of time at this place.

Alaska State Fair!!
I went to Alaska in August mainly for the fair. I have missed it soo much the last 2 years. I went for 2 days and hung out with some people and walked around eating and shopping. It was absolutely fabulous!

Glacier Pizza...breakfast.

The absolute BEST corn the cob on the planet!

Chocolate covered bacon on a stick. $3 and a total waste. It didn't mix well for me. I love them both separately!

Melanie and Kena...our very dear friends!

Dippin' Dots

Lumberjack Show
One of the best things about the fair!

Katie getting hena

Linnea working at the Carhart booth that her dad runs at the fair. She left that night for BYU-I.

Bishop Holbrook at this Carhart booth. What a great man!

Rosemary Henderson and I. We never hung out growing up, but we have discovered on Facebook that we have so much in common. So we have become friends and we hung out for the first time. I wish I lived by her. She's a sweetheart.

My waxed hand at the fair. I always get one and I brought my own paintbrush to use for it. They thought it was a really good idea and I had fun splashing the colors on it.

Me and Sydney Boston :)

I was walking through the arts and crafts section at the fair and saw this. I thought, "How cool! It's the temple!" Then I saw the sign that says it was built for the wedding of Dabric Huntington and Adam Baxter, so I thought, "Oh my heck! That's my family!" Haha, Dabric is my cousin :)

Hatcher Pass
I went up with my friend Tyler Bounds. I love it up there!

Tyler had the great idea of making paper boats and see how far they will float down the river. They didn't go far but it was fun.

I had dinner with Amy. I wish we could have had more time together but it was so fun seeing her again.

I spent my last night with Sabrina Holbrook, went to church with her, and then she drove me to the airport. I love that girl!
