Talk about a busy weekend full of food, family, and fun! Each year, Logan City hosts its annual Summerfest, which features local and out-of-town artists who make everything from on-the-spot portraits to handcrafted wood tables to spoon-and-fork sculptures. As you might already know, Matt’s mom Sherry is a brilliant watercolor artist, and she came up to stay with us …
Lyle & Ashley
The summer of weddings continued as on Friday, Matt and I had the chance to go to all the festivities of my cousin Lyle’s wedding (who, smart man–also married a teacher!). One of my favorite things? Ashley’s Dorothy-red shoes (check out the above picture!) One thing I love about weddings (which used to make me sick, …
To My Daddy
(My sister Hannah, Grandma Fedor, Me, and Dad) Dear Dad, Happy Father’s Day, and Happy Birthday! I feel like every year, your birthday falls on Father’s Day, but I guess that’s chronologically impossible.

Haley & Jason

Kayla’s Bridal Shower
I threw my first ever bridal shower yesterday. It will probably be my last. But I was so happy to be able to throw it for my very best friend, Kayla. It seems like just yesterday I was trying to poison her with lawn fertilizer (true story). And now she’s all grown up and getting …
Weekend with Dad
Matt and I were excited to head back down to Bountiful this last weekend so that we could see my dad, who had flown in from Kansas City for my younger brother Carter’s graduation. Friday night, Dad treated us all to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, where he was able to catch up with everyone over …
To My Mother
Dear Mom, How could I ever express in words the gratitude that I owe you, the very person who brought me into existence here on this earth? And how could I ever express my thankfulness that not only did you give me life, but that you gave me the very best life I could have ever …
