Celebrity Obsessions

There are a few celebrities I just can't stop thinking and talking about.

And here they are:

Of course, here is Emma Stone with her Lovely Andrew Garfield. 

Emma Stone is by far my favorite actress. Ever.

She is the star of two of my favorite movies, Easy A and Crazy, Stupid Love.

Watch them both. Now.

I think she is the most beautiful woman ever and Andrew is equally attractive.

I hope they get married and have the prettiest babies ever.

They will be in the new Amazing Spider Man movie which I will be seeing at midnight. 

I am so excited.

This is Naya Rivera.

I have been obsessed with Glee lately and she is one of my favorite actresses.

She has an adorable smile and hilarious humor.

Her voice is beautiful and she should have had more solos on Glee. 

Shailene Woodley is mostly known for The Secret Life of An American Teenager.

This is very unfortunate for her because that show is awful.

She is an amazing actress and TSLAAT does not do her justice. 

If you would like to see an excellent demonstration of her acting, watch The Descendants.

She is co-staring with George Clooney and they compliment each other beautifully.

She is also into health and stays out of the tabloids which is very admirable to me.

Chris Colfer. I wish he wasn't gay.

He is absolutely hilarious and attractive and wonderful.

Enough said.

George Clooney. 

I hardly need to say why he is on this list.

He is becoming more talented and more attractive as he ages.

These two really should be number two.

I am absolutely obsessed with them!

Women like Zooey Deschanel act stupid to be funny but Ellen and Portia have pure talent and are completely hilarious.

They are healthy and happy together, I don't think I can say I know a better couple. 

T-Swift.

She is perfect. 

Even though she is a celebrity, she is down to earth and humble.

I wish I could be best friends with her and Dianna Agron.

She is the most beautiful and hilarious, especially on the movie Valentines Day.

It is one of my favorite Rom-Coms and I suggest everyone see it.

Hannah's Birthday

This past Sunday, my best friend (who happens to be my sister) turned 21 years old!

She celebrated all weekend.

Starting Friday with a small get together with close friends

Continuing on Saturday, her and I played guitar in the park, drove aimlessly, talked and laughed.

Then capping it all off on Sunday with cake, presents and games.

She is hilarious and adorable. 

I just can't get enough of her! 

Lion's Kin Rug

I have been watching animal videos on youtube all morning

and I think I decided this is my favorite. 

I want a lion.

Brian Sommers

My nephew's name is Brian Sommers. 

He is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. 

His mother is my sister, Rebecca Sommers, and his father is Shane Sommers. 

He is so happy all of the time and is already showing interest in computers and guitar! 

I love my nephew more and more every day. 

He also gets cuter and cuter every day, I am convinced he will be a model.

Down By the River Side

To celebrate summer finally getting here, Hannah and I went down by the river to have a picnic.

Well, I picnicked while she played guitar. 

We found a remote spot away from other people and the highway and it was quiet and beautiful.

We continued up the canyon and went to check out Deer Creek Reservoir.

The park ranger told us there were two baby owls in the campgrounds.

One flew away as we walked up, but we got a couple of pictures of his brother.

It was quite an adventurous and lovely day.

Suns, Moons, and Dinosaurs. No Biggie.

On May 22nd my family and I went down to Hurricane Utah to view the annular eclipse. 

Many people have said to me "You went ALLL the way to St. George for that?"

And naturally I think: "You didn't?!"

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than nature.

This eclipse was completely spectacular! 

I loved to see the moon and sun come together at one time to create such a beautiful phenomenon. 

It was also fun to see how many people who were also interested in the eclipse. 

Along with seeing the eclipse, we also had the opportunity to visit the Dinosaur museum in Washington, Utah. 

Hannah and I discovered it on a leisurely Sunday drive as we were waiting for the eclipse to happen.

We went through it that day and of course again the next day with the rest of our family. 

The museum was filled with footprints, mud cracks, and swim tracks from dinosaurs that had lived in and around that area. 

The most amazing print they had was a sitting print, it was one of three that exist in the entire world. 

The wonderful volunteer, Myron, was so gracious to explain the print and told us how the dinosaur stood up from sitting down since he didn't have any wrists! 

My favorite were the swim tracks, it is amazing to me that they could still exist after so many many years.

Admittedly, I did go a little (a lot) bit wild in the gift shop.   

Apart from the museum and eclipse we were also able to visit Quail Creek (it's actually Quail Creep) Reservoir which was very beautiful especially against the landscape of the orange plateaus.  

All in all, it was a very fantastic weekend!

Oh yes, and here is a special thanks to the Sommers who let us stay in their condo!

One more thing, check out Hannah's blog that she just started! She is also doing a post about the same weekend! 

Here I am in good old St. George!
