Park City here we come!

Last week I was invited by my ex sister-in-law to get away from life for the weekend. She and a couple of friends had rented a condo up in Park City for the weekend. Of course I couldn't turn this opportunity down (especially once learning that she was bringing the babies).
The condo was amazing. We all fell in love with it and decided that we wanted to get a condo up in Park City of our own. Here are some pictures of the place we stayed:






























(The first picture is of Lilly on Kim's bed. The second is of the bed that Rykert and I shared. The third is of our kitchen. The fourth is of Lilly running out of the bathroom after being caught trying to get into the toilet. The fifth is of Kim's bathroom. The sixth is of Ry playing in the livingroom. The seventh is of me wearing Kim's Hannah Montana wig... Don't I look hot as a blonde. The eighth is of Ry wearing 3D glasses. The last picture is of Kim being Hannah Montana.)




We spent the first day up there shopping, which I love to do. On the second day we spent the day at the Olympic Park. I had a ton of fun exploring and watching everything. Here are pictures from the park:

Summer Fun!

Orem Summerfest...

It is the Malone tradition to attend the summerfest parade every year. This year Whitney and I left around 3:00 pm to try and get us a decent spot, so that we could actually watch the parade. We found the perfect spot in the shade and were pretty happy until right around the start of the parade. We ended up having people come right as the parade was starting and sit right in front of us. So much for going early and saving seats. This year we were able to have Rykert and Lilly come to the parade with us. Whitney ended up taking him and going and sitting in front of the people who sat in front of us. Rykert loved the parade... when time came for the fireworks it was a different story. He ended up getting scared and kept telling us to "go"... Around the time that the fireworks ended he finally adjusted to the sounds and was okay. Lilly on the other hand enjoyed watching the fireworks, which I found a bit strange because she is so jumpy. Here are some of the pictures from the parade.





















Lillykins Birthday Party...

On Father's Day we were finally able to celebrate Lilly's first birthday. On her real birthday, which was on May 31st she was feeling really sick and was not able to eat solid food. My mom made her a cake of her own and she really enjoyed being able to dig in. The best part was when Ry decided that he wanted to help her blow out her candle. He is a great big brother! Here are some pictures from that day.
























Orem Owlz Season Opener...

I have not been to a baseball game since the Provo Angels changed stadiums and became the Orem Owlz. I figured that it was about time that I went. I talked my mom and sisters into going and watching along with me. My good friend Brady Mitchell decided to come and hang out with us as well. My brother Ammon and his best friend Ron decided that they didn't want to miss out on all the action and also tagged along. It was actually a really good game and we had a blast. The game ended up going 13 innings and the Owlz finally pulled off the win. We ended up having a ton of fun when the lights ended up going out and we were all left in the dark for a while. Whitney got out her camera and we took some very interesting photos of us. While the lights were out they had fireworks going, which we also really enjoyed. Here are some of the photos from our amazing night at the ballpark.

A Look Into the Past...

20 Years Ago...

I was 6 years old and had just finished Kindergarten. I got chicken pox over Memorial Day weekend. I had just discovered how to read and started spending a lot of my time reading books. My family was living in Orem, Utah. My sister Cori was 5 and my brother Ammon was 3.








10 Years Ago...

I was finally 16 and loving the fact that I could date and drive. I went on my first date to MORP... It was a memorable date only in that my grandpa Malone passed away that night. I actually did not talk to my date at all, in fact I really hadn't ever met him. My friend from Springville set me up with him. Over the summer I worked at the SCERA theater working as an assistant manager over the Kiddie Matinees. It was while doing this that I met my first boyfriend Jeff.

5 Years Ago...
I had just turned 21 and had recently gotten married. I spent the summer trying to learn to be a house wife and adjusting to married life. Sean and I had an apartment in Orem, which we lived in for about 6 months. He then decided that it was time to move to another place. I started back at school at UVSC and decided to get a degree in Behavioral Science.



3 Years Ago...

I finally graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Social Work. Right after graduating Sean decided that we needed to get away from Utah County. We moved down to St. George and spent the summer. I got an amazing job at Cinnamon Hills, which is a troubled youth center. I worked as an academic assistant. I loved it there. We lived in St. George until the end of October, then we moved back to Utah County and lived in P.G.

2 Years Ago...


My life felt like it was falling apart from under me. My dad passed away and I ended up getting divorced all within a month of each other. I was finally able to get off the weight that I had gained by being unhappily married and I got a job at UVSC as the Assistant Director over the Intramural Department. My nephew Rykert was born on my brother's 21st birthday.



1 Year Ago...

I was finally able to go through the temple and take out my endowments. It was the most amazing thing ever! My mom, sisters and I were also given the opportunity to go with my aunt and her family to Nauvoo. I was able to go and attend a temple session in the Nauvoo temple, which was a dream come true for me. I finally decided to give dating a try and dated a couple of different guys last summer. My niece Lilly was born.



So Far This Year...

Life has been pretty boring, which I have enjoyed. I was finally able to meet my Australian little brother when he flew out here to go on a mission. One of the fun things I have done is go to Mexico. I spent a week down there with a friend.





Yesterday... I spent the afternoon at church. I also spent a lot of time with my nephew and niece. We had a hard time getting Lilly to fall asleep so Whitney and I took her on a drive up to the Provo temple and then took her for a walk around the grounds.

Today... I spent the afternoon out shopping! Cori, Whitney and I went to Joann's to try to find a skirt pattern. We were not able to, so we left and went to FYE. I always end up getting a ton of DVD's every time I go there. After buying 8 movies we went across the street to Barnes and Noble. I bought 1776 and then reserved 2 copies of Breaking Dawn. We then went to Smith's to try and find Mexican Coca Cola. I couldn't find any at the Orem Smiths. We then decided to go over to Seagull Book and I bought a couple books and another DVD. Our last stop was the Provo Smith's and I finally found my Mexican Coke!

Tomorrow... I am not really sure what I am really going to do. I will most likely go shopping and attempt to help Marissa find clothes. I also would really like to go to the first Orem Owlz game. We will see what really happens though.

This Year... I think that it would be nice to find the man of my dreams but I am not going to hold my breath for that. I plan on going back to school and getting another degree. I would like to become a preschool teacher.


I tag.... Jenica, Kjell, Starr, and Whitney
