LOVIN SUMMER!

Hey all! Summer has been really great so far!
This is why:

Last Thursday, Hillary freaking Dodd graduated from Logan High! Wahoooooo:
Check out that sibling support:

The Dodd Squad:

So Proud of my Beautiful Sister:

Austin and I may or may not have gotten super bored during Hill's graduation:


The weekend before that, some friends and I went down to St. George! It was great, we stayed in My Grandma Colleen's house located in the Palms (thanks grandma!) and we went to Zion's National Park!

Alex, Sam, and Kevin decided to show their support for Memorial Day:


Here is our group at the top of Angel's Landing:
It was hard to get to the top but we felt so accomplished once we made it! In our group, I am the only one from Utah. This picture represents New Hampshire, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington and Utah:

Thankfully, none of us fell to our deaths:



Here are the girls, Sarah, Jennika, Megan, and me:


Sarah and I in our stunna shades:



So happy to be at the top:

Beautiful Jennika and me:


Also this past weekend, was the 
MARTIN FAMILY REUNION! 
We started it out at Poppin' Pin Lanes in Preston, Idaho. Yes, in case you had wondered, this is the Bowling Alley featured in the one and only Napoleon Dynamite. 
But something AWESOME you probably didn't know is that my own Grandpa Burt Martin was one of the original owners. 
Even though this bowling alley is what I would call Old School still, (you have to keep score yourself) it was so great to be there. My favorite part was seeing my entire extended family there and wondering if somehow my Grandpa Burt was there too, watching his posterity enjoying the bowling alley he helped to make:


My team (aka best team ever) Jon, Michelle and me. 

The second day of reuniting was filled with activities. Sometimes we like to call our Martin Reunions Marathons because you go from one thing to the next. We woke up bright and early and played a golf scramble at The Preston Golf Course: 
Jon and I:

Me, Hillary, and Mike: 
Mike goes on his mission to the Phillipines next month, Waahooo!
The golfing crew:

The rest of the day consisted of a scavenger hunt around Preston at places that had to do with our family:

Among other things, one thing we could do was each person that put a worm in their mouth got a hundred points for their team:


Maybe we got a little carried away making the kids do it too: 
What can we say, we are a very competitive family!


 it also included a  softball game, and coming back to our house after and watching a slideshow of pictures. 
My family is the world's greatest!

If you're actually still reading this, don't worry I'm almost done. 
Other than that I've just been living the life in Logan town, hanging with some amazing friends:












And lastly, I want to give a shout out to Sarah Foote!! Oh I love this girl so much! Its so true that sometimes people come into your life right when you need them. Sarah's going to Belize for the next 6 weeks- I'll miss her! Much Love :)



THE END.
