:: my life ::

And I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

:: fun day out ::

My boys and i ventured out for a little exercise on Sunday afternoon to liberty park and boy was it eventful!! I brought a bunch of old buns and bread with us to feed the ducks and geese because B just loves trying to get them to walk up to him!

Since we took the dog with us that means we've got to be good park goers and clean up after him! Well I was holding the bag full of bread and trying to clean up after the dog and we had a mishap! I'm sure you can guess what happened and B and I were laughing so hard! Jeremy was trying to clean it up and I was holding his drink .. Well I was trying to tell him that there was some poo essence on the bag he was holding I accidentally threw his drink every where! Once again B and I thought it was the funniest thing ever!

After our eventful clean up session we finally went to feed the ducks and geese and they did end up walking right up to B!! He loved it!

I hope winter is mild this year so we can continue to go to the park on Sunday afternoons! Hopefully they won't be as eventful as this day out was!

:: could they be any cuter ::

Bryson's aunt Laini found this picture when she was moving and I freaking love it!! Look how freakin cute these were (and of course still are!)

:: memories ::

i found these pictures on my fb and had to put them on here. these 3 girls were my first 'true' friends that i made. they were there for me during midnight cry fests over loser boy friends, they were there during popcorn movie nights, they were there during friends and baked potato evenings, and they were there to share my care packages with, but most importantly they were there to make the best memories i will ever have.

i moved to logan in 2001 knowing absolutely no one but myself. i moved into snow hall room 101 and soon met two of my very best friends that i am so grateful also moved knowing absolutely no one but themselves and one knowing only her sister.

it took about a day before shelli and i became fast friends and spent our 'freshman orientation' week together all the time ... my actual roommate was stef and shelli and i weren't so sure about her liking us but we made her come around very quickly.

as the three of us became the best of friends we went around our dorms introducing ourselves and meeting new people. during this process we met leslie who lived on floor two.

our lives have changed dramatically since 2001-2002, two of us left logan after 1 year and the other two stayed and partied it up logan style. we are all married now and two of them have the cutest families ever and the other two of us are slowly but surly working on the family process. i love these 3 ladies more than anything and i consider it an honor to have them in my life. we can go days, months, or years with out seeing each other or talking to each other but things never change and we always start up right where we left off.

dinner together about a year ago: leslie, me, stef, and shelli

in logan i believe very close the time the olympic torch came through: stef, mel (a new roommate spring 2002 whom we loved!), me, and shelli

shelli's birthday dinner (all my roommates and shelli - we adopted her like our own!)

the USU howl ... and yes we are so hott and did go tanning that same day! shelli, me, stef, and chelsea (my wonderful family best friend who came up for the fun)

thank you for the memories we made together and the best times of my life! i love you all and hope we can maintain the friendships we made in that one short year!

:: Rascal Flatts ::

this is how far behind i am with updating stuff and keeping track of what we are up to. i went to rascal flatts with my family on september 9, 2011. it was the 'original 4' and our favorite neighbors and we had a blast.

it started pouring rain a little bit before the show started so the girls hung out in the bathroom until the moment passed. i had so much fun with my family and neighbors it was nice to start my final semester off with a bang!

a lady at the gate allowed chelle and i to go out and take a picture with the rascal truck.

here's our super fun neighbor 'the ralph's'

the original 4

the sister

the blades ... this is how chelle dances because she says it keeps you in check and doesn't allow you to dance all crazy and attack other people.

just one silly one to leave you with a smile!

:: soccer 2011 ::

the last time b tried to play this sport he was 2 years old and he refused (i mean refused) to go out on the field without his mom or his dad. finally his mom grabbed his hand and pulled him on the field and in the process tackled and took out about 4-5 other 2 year olds. it was hilarious and b vowed to never play soccer again. well we have been going to the real games and loving them and b decided to play some soccer this year. i only took a few pics but he loved every minute of it and can't wait to play indoor winter soccer.

he was the goalie at one point!

this pic was after he made a goal

and of course you have to stay hydrated.

(don't get me going on the fact that they had tangerine shirts with bright blue socks, whoever thought of that is clearly not a woman!)

:: hunting ::

it was that time of year again ... the time during the last week of september that B gets to have 10 uninterrupted days with his favorite hunting buddy ever. i cannot believe how much these two love getting out the trailer and hanging out in the mountains together. it was just the two of them for 4 days and then it turned into one massive camping trip with 20-30 people. and b loved every minute of it. jeremy and i never go because it a special time between b and his grandpa doug and we love that they have that special bond together.

nothing like a kid and his gun (yes HIS gun)

check out that special bond they share
