Families Are Forever

On Saturday August 29th, 2009. Cory and I finally made it to the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. It was such an amazing experience, and I am so grateful for the journey that we had to take to get here, and for the blessing that it is in our lives. It is awesome to me that we will truly be together forever. I can think of nothing I would want more. What a wonderful day!!

Thanks to everyone for supporting us, you are all awesome. And Aub thanks for the pictures, I love them!!

Sand Dunes :p

This last weekend we went to the sand dunes for a quick trip. It was so so much fun!! I absolutely love the sand dunes and I am so excited that it is the season again. It was still a little hot, but it was worth it.

We unloaded the four wheelers and were riding for about 30 seconds when Cory's paddle tire went completely flat. We have had issues with his paddles ever since we got them. It was such a bummer, but at least we had an extra wheeler this time.

That night was so much fun. Not one person who came out in our group remembered that we'd need firewood that night. So Cory, Me, Jordan, Shawn, and Charlie all decided to go baja-ing out in the nearby sagebrush and find some firewood. It was a lot of fun, but I must say a little dangerous. We were going way off road. Well, Jordan fell right out of the side of the truck!!! It was so funny, but I don't know how funny he thought it was. Then we kept driving and found an entire tree that was completely dead, but still standing in the ground. Well Cory and Jordan thought that it would be THE BEST firewood. ( At this moment, along with the moment when Jordan fell out of the truck, I was kicking myself in the butt for not taking my camera along!!)

So, they decided the best way to knock the tree down was to ram the truck hitch into the tree- since "it was so dead, it should knock right over". So that's exactly what we did. Now take into consideration. Cory, Jordan, and myself were in the back of the truck standing against the cab. Well, running the truck into the tree just wasn't cutting it. So, Cory and Jordan proceeded to climb on the tree and start pulling. In their favor, they were actually making some progress. Well, the side that Jordan was pulling was just so dead that it decided to give completely down and Jordan went down with it. He fell about ten to fifteen feet to the ground. Again, we are all hysterical, it was seriously funny! It actually knocked Jordan out for a few seconds, and his back was killing him, but he turned out alright. :P It was quite the firewood expedition!!!

When we returned to camp they decided to build a teepee shaped firepit. This is Jordan dumping gas on the wood.

This is the resulting fire- it was really quite big. We had so much fun- can't wait til next trip!!!

Happy Birthday Honey

Happy Birthday To You!!

Just want to wish my amazing husband a very happy birthday!! It's weird to me that he's now 23, but he says it's not to him. Crazy how time flies!!

The pictures below are of Dalton. We had Strawberry Shortcake for his birthday- so so good. Well Dalton loved it, but didn't think that he needed to use his fork. He just dug right in! It was hilarious and he was a total mess. We thought it was so cute, even though I'm sure his mom didn't appreciate it ;-)

Rare Phenomenon!!!

This weekend was quite a fun-filled weekend. We had so much fun hanging out with friends and family. On Saturday afternoon we went to the off-road show. It was a lot of fun to watch the BMX riders and also the motorcross riders. They were really awesome. I was so excited because I actually remembered my camera... so, I go to take a few pics, and of course it was dead. So I'm really bummed out!!

Later on, we were really bored and so we decided to go the movie The Proposal!! It was a great movie, I would definitely see it again. It was a little bit of chick flick, but Cory actually enjoyed it too! It was funny. Sandra Bullock is great, I just love her!!

On Sunday, we met with both sides of the family!! It was a really nice day with family. A really rare phenomenon occurred... CORY PLAYED SOFTBALL!!! Yes, my husband who has never, EVER played before, and actually kinda despises the sport... he played softball with us. He was actually really good, especially for never playing. It was a lot of fun.

Like I said, I am totally bummed that my battery was dead on my camera, but I did manage to charge it long enough to get a few pics of Sunday.

Fun Weekend Camping

This last weekend we all decided to go camping for the weekend up Gooseberry in Fairview Canyon. It was so much fun. It was quiet, relaxing, and so much fun. We sat around the fire on Friday night until about 2:30 a.m. which is probably the latest I have stayed up in almost a year, it was crazy!! We made smores and just visited with everyone, it was a great time. I hope we do it again soon.

All the guys played horseshoes... my honey needs a little more practice :-)

My Husband And I- he hates taking pictures.

Camping was so much fun, I love summer for camping, and everything else about summer. Soon we are going to have a girls only camping trip and I am so excited... even though the guys think that it is an impossible feat... we are gonna do it!!!

So this past weekend was pretty eventful.... We celebrated Lacey Kogaines' bachelorette party, which was a total blast. Lindsay planned some really fun games, ( they involved cucumbers, bananas, and a few other things), I got some pictures, but decided not to post them.... ;-) We had so much fun visiting, and most of all dancing and karaoke-ing. It was a really fun girls night!!

Easton really did have so much fun, he was dancing right along with us, but I think he was pooped!!!

On Sunday, my dad got tickets for all of us to go to the Salt Lake Bees game. It was so much fun to go the game and spend the day with my family!!! We had great seats and were shaded the entire game which was so nice. Thanks Dad, we all had a blast!!

After the game we went and ate yummy food at the Olive Garden. It was really yummy!! We learned this funky way to fold napkins that sorta makes the napkins look like a pair of ya-ya's. We learned it in California with my dad's birth mother Annelyse... so now, everywhere we go one of us is bound to fold our napkin into this shape... well my little brother did it and put it on the other brothers head... it was great :-)
