Disneyland with Grandma Marlene

A fun filled day at Disneyland with Grnadma Marlene

My mom on the tea cup ride! She hates this ride, but agreed to go on it if I didn't spin us! I just couldn't resist though! But then my mom said she was feeling sick - she may have mentioned throwing up. Well, that got my attention and I started thinking...do I really want throw up on me....NO, so I stopped!!

Killer's and U2

Killer's concert
On Sept. 19th, we went to see the Killer's perform at Mandalay Bay. Tyler looked for tickets on Craigslist a few days before the concert, and found some for $25. Jeff and Bethany went to the concert with us. They were awesome in concert! Brandon Flowers is an amazing performer! If you have a chance, you should go see them perform!
If you look closely, you can see them all, but none of my pics turned out very well! I need a new camera!I
U2
In October, our friend Wayne called to say that he had extra tickets to U2 in Vegas. They drove down, and we met up at the concert. It was an AMAZING concert! In my opinion, U2 is the greatest performing band of all time! To add to the experience, Black Eyed Peas opened for U2, and they were awesome. I have always liked BEP's music. I had a blast dancing to U2 and BEP's!

Amanda and Wayne

U2's elaborate stage setup! None of my pics turned out, but oh-well! Again, I need a new, better camera!

Lake Powell Sept. 09

September 2009 was the beginning of our annual Lake Powell trip! We had a huge group of people go, and we had the best time. All in attendance: Tyler, Nicole, Madison, Trevor, James, Christy, Wayne, Andrea, Liz, Amanda, Zach, Andrea, Anistyn, Cambrie, Jesse, Nick, Mindy, Cael, McKenzie, Bodi, Linda, Dave, Nick's parents (can't recall their names at the moment), Garrett, Nicole, and a few others that I did not know very well. Anyway, it was an awesome trip, and we are so glad that so many attended. We can't wait for next year!
Trevor on his jet ski!

All the crap that we fit on just our boat, plus 9 people!!

Wayne decided it would be funny to wear these speedo shorts, so I decided to feature him on my blog in them!

Lake Tahoe

Hammond family trip to Lake Tahoe! We went back in August, and we had a blast! Tyler's parents rented an amazing cabin in Tahoe. Sue and Chad playing in the Lake!

Tyler and Trevor on the boat cruise. The lake is beautiful!

Tyler thought it would be funny to put on my sweatshirt. So, I made him pose for a picture, and he hammed it up!!

Tyler, Brook, Bethany, and Sue shaking there groove thing on the ship! We were pretty much the only ones dancing, and we sure made an impression on the rest of the guests!!
