independence day 2012

Happy Tuesday to all you Sugarbuns!

I'm officially back to blogging and boy does it feel good!

Even though my vacation was the best ever I really missed you guys.

Speaking of vacation, you're going to be really sick of hearing about mine because that's pretty much all I'm going to post about this week. I promise I'll try not to bore you.

I'm still uploading and editing photos from my trip so today I'm going to share my Independence Day festivities through photos. 

Warning: There are a TON of photos. (Sorry!)

July 3rd:

My aunt Lauren (the one that's my age, she's more like a bestie) came to visit for the week of the 4th. On July 3rd we went to the best. concert. EVER. Darius Rucker and Miranda Lambert. They are both equally amazing live. And I totally lost my voice from screaming singing along to Miranda. 

Left: Moustache Party. 

Right: Lauren and I getting ready to sing out hearts out.

 Ellen, Lauren, and I being weird and waiting for Miranda.

Top Left: Ellen, Paul, and I.

Top Right: Boys being boys.

Bottom Left: Elle Belle and Keegs. They're pretty much the cutest couple ever.

Bottom Right: This is Ian. He was my 6th grade boyfriend. I broke up with him on Valentine's Day because Lucy had broken up with her boyfriend on 7th Heaven because she wasn't in love with him. I realized I wasn't in love with Ian. Yes, I said 6th grade. Deep, I know.

 Boyfriend Swap!

 Are you in love with Ellen yet? P.S. She's my best friend. And the funniest person on the planet.

Baby, you're a firework!

July 4th:

On the 4th of July Colton, Lauren, and I met up with my mom, stepdad, and stepsisters at a local bar named El Hefe. Let's just say it involved lots of fake moustaches and beergaritas. 

Later in the day Colton and I went over to my stepmom's house for a swimming party/barbecue.

It was also between 70 and 80 degrees which is completely unheard of in Phoenix. 

Seriously beyond fabulous.

 We are quite the festive couple.

 The Moustache Fam. 

From Left to Right: Me, Lauren, Mom, Aly (stepsister), Ron (stepdad)

 Goodies at my stepmom's 4th of July party....Mmm! Mmmmmm! Mmmmmmm!

 Left: Not really sure why Colton is trying to eat my face. I promise he wasn't on bath salts.

Right: She's the best grandma in the whole wide world.

Brothers. They melt my heart.

Yeah, so I hope you're still awake after that heckuva long post. 

P.S. Hello to all of my new Living in Yellow followers, thanks so much for all of your kind words after my guest post!

P.P.S. Beth and Janna, I'll be mailing out your necklaces this week so be sure to check your mailbox ;)
