There is a first time for everything!

Like ice fishing. First time! I LOVED it. I think Dad did too; he wants to buy an auguer now. We drove hours out to Strawberry Resevoir, that looks just like a valley of snow to me. It is crazy being out on a lake on 2 feet of ice. We didn't catch any fish, but I read and had a wonderful nap on a tarp in the sun. It got so warm that we rode all the way home with the windows down. It was definitely one of the happiest days ever.

This old dark machine



Do you kind of miss this weather at all.... just a little? Maybe its just the gorgeous fall leaves I miss. This was the hike with Lexi and Andrew that took place a long time ago. I only got 3 pictures out of this occasion due to the fact Andrew let me use his ~real cool~ cramera. A real one. A cool one. Oh such fun times.

First Time Ever Hunting....yes.

I did, I finally went hunting. I loved/almost disliked it. The freezing cold, burning calves, and wind burned faces were not the best part. The orange clothing, looking like an eskimo, being with my bro, and being in the mountains all day WAS the best part.


I got REALLY bored at one point. I now have like 20 pictures of myself doing funny faces....
love my hiking shoes.

My handsome brother :)





i run round round this town.

I went camping with my brother and his chillin's a while ago. Fall camping is completely gorgeous! Ah, and I love my nieces and nephews... (all of them!)

Swens Moment, Space Camp

If any of you have had Swenson, this is one of his "Longboarding Moments."
I really wanted to find a good Chris Sharma (one of the greatest rock climbers ev) video to show you, but due to me not finding one yet, here is this. I kinda love it. I love this song, it is called Slow Motion.
Also, I really wish I was a mountain biker.

OH MY GOSH. I almost forgot to tell you.
I went to Space Camp! For a friend's birthday party, we got to drive an hour and reenact Star Trek. If you know Star Trek, you know what was there. We were on the Odyssey. It was complete with a voice activated Computer, phasers, Klingons, and a mission to complete! I WAS CAPTAIN! You have no idea, my eyes actually started tearing up at one point. It was amazing. I acted just like Piccard. Or Kirk. Take your pick.

Also, I love Wyatt. He was the guy who worked there (I am going to work there when I'm older) and was with us the whole time. To sum up his coolness: he goes to conventions all the time, is going to actually play the part of Chekov in a remake of the Original Series, which will play online, and is using the ORIGINAL uniforms. Oh my gosh. I got an autograph and took a legit picture with him. We posed as engineers. Anyways, my husband better be just like him. I don't know if I can handle being with someone who is not a complete nerd.

It went from 90 degrees to 40 degrees (highs) in like 2 days!

This is one of those dorky posts, sorry. But I have favorite parts of my yard that are.... my favorites.....


Like the peach trees. I have to have fruit trees when I'm a grown up.
Uh.... vines? Why yes.

Its hard to tell in this picture, but the apricot tree and the grape vines are intertwined and totally holding hands. How cute.
See my mowing job in this picture? The diagonal lines? Yeah, it took like 30 minutes longer.
The birdhouse and this branched out tree in front of you window. Ah. So pretty.
I LOVE the canopy over the stairs. It's magical.
The overgrown steps outside the window. I love overgrown things (to an extent, and only certain things) so I hope my yard won't look crappy to everyone else when I get my own yard.
Just adore this corner of the house. It is always shaded and a perfect place to lay out a blanket.

Alright, I'm done. Sometimes the landscape architect squeezes out of my being.

never remember my name

Saturday. This is what we did.
We rock climbed! This is probably my favorite sport ever. (It's a sport, right?) I love the blue shoes, being able to tie the knots and keep people from falling, and being outside! Ah. I just love it so much.

We need to bring all the ladies up here sometime. Too bad there was baptisms and temple trips that day.... I guess SOME people have to be righteous. :)





The best was leaning back and hanging by the rope. I can testify it is the weirdest feeling.


Ha. Nena's feet were dyed red from the new shoes. I thought they were bleeding.

Spencer and Richie.

I can't wait to go again, it is so addicting. I came home as happy as a smiley face. Like, the big yellow ones. I think that's what I looked like.

love my friends!

I seriously do. They are all so amazing and amazing and amazing. (Yes. 3 times.)
I also love doing things. Going out and doing things. Like we did last Friday, we went to the waterfall! Hiked in and partied and played on the rocks :)
This picture makes me smile. We missed the girls that weren't here.
