New Moon

Please take a moment and watch this trailer. (Thanks Maribeth for showing me how to do this!)




My thoughts:
Edward looks very good looking. More so than in Twilight even.
Jacob looks really really really attractive.
I think the transformation from human to wolf looks great.
I am extremely excited.

Lullabies and RocknRoll

This weekend I got to go down to Utah to visit my family. My sister Erin just had a baby so I got to hang out with her and get to know little Hailey! She is so tiny. Erin put an open book next to her and she was just as big. She hardly ever cries, just sleeps all the time. When she starts waking up she smiles a lot and it is so adorable.

Look at that squashy face! so precious!

Kaitlyn the big sister! She is such a good helper. She always wanted to hold Hailey and give her hugs. She kept asking Erin if she could burp her. What a good sister. I don't know if she has totally grasped the meaning of sister tho because she kept saying, "Where is baby Hailey's mom and dad?" She loves the baby but I think she kept thinking hailey's parents were going to come pick her up soon. She cracks me up.



I have been wanting to play guitar for a really long time but I have just never gotten around to making time for learning. My little sister Jessie is a stud on the guitar. In high school I played a little bit with my brother but have forgotten basically everything he taught me so Jess is my new teacher. We stayed up way too late every night I was down in Utah rockin out. I'm not very good yet but I'm going to keep practicing. Luckily I can read tabs now so I can teach myself a few more songs. I just have to get my own guitar now!

Waterfalls, Bocci, and Tinfoil Dinners

I'm so glad it is finally starting to feel like summer! We have been able to get out and enjoy the nice weather a little bit and I love it! We went to Mesa Falls with the Evans' and the Kulisch Klan. I had never been so it was a lot of fun. We had a picnic there and then walked around the water fall for a little bit.

cool waterfall!
After Mesa Falls we wanted to check out this place called Cave Falls. So we drove for over an hour and never found anything. It was a bummer but we decided to stop at this park and play bocci ball. Girls of course dominated every game... or should have anyway.

Then we went up to Green Canyon with Evans, Kulischs, Andy and Nattie and went swimming, had tinfoil dinners, and played some football.

Hailey

This is Hailey Jean Tenney. 6 lbs. Isn't she perfect? Congratulations Erin, Brian, and Kaitlyn!

Oh the Joys of Today

Today my sister is going to be giving birth to a lovely little girl. I CAN'T WAIT!!


So right now I am sitting at school doing some homework. I'm kind of bored so I decided to blog instead. Here I am just minding my own business when this guy comes and sits across from me. I normally wouldn't care but he keeps clearing his throat and making noises like he is going to hawk a loogie and he is sniffing really intensely. If anyone knows me at all you know that this is the grossest thing to me ever. I think I might throw up.

Anyway... school is quite lame this semester. I don't really love any of my classes but thats okay. Thats what I get for going in the summer. I am doing a practicum with Whittney Evans and I love it. It is AWESOME. We are throwing a Benefit Party for my brothers company. He has an online charity called the Global OutReach Foundation. It is really great because we get to raise money for children in Tibet who don't have anything. I hope we can make enough money to make a difference! Today me and whitt are going to go around to businesses and see if anyone wants to make donations. Hopefully it works out!


Another awesome aspect of my life is I am on a football team. We are called RESTRAINED. and we won our first game. I ripped a girls shirt on accident but I guess that is just how hard core I am.


So basically that is today!

One Year!!

Yesterday was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe it has been a year already! It has been the best year of my life! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who loves me so much. He always makes me feel special and happy. He is the funniest, craziest guy and is my best friend. I love him with all my pieces and I'm lucky to have him as my hubby. There isn't anyone out there that I would rather spend forever with!

To celebrate we went to dinner and a movie and just spent the day together. It was perfect. Love Love Love!

Vacation

Well, I am now back in school which isn't the greatest news. I'm not normally on track in the summer so it is hard to go to class when I want to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather. But it's going pretty good so far, so hopefully the semester is a good one.

We had about a week and a half between winter and summer semesters and we were able to get away for a little bit and enjoy some time off. First we got to go and see my friend Ali and her husband Ryan. I went to highschool with Ali and haven't seen her in forever so it was SOO fun to stay with them. We went to see a Kalai concert. It was AWESOME. He was so good! We then played some Mario Cart on the Wii and just hung out. I miss you already Ali!!

Then on Friday we got to see my friend Amanda get married! It was such a beautiful wedding and she looked like a princess. I was a bridesmaid so I got to help her out and give her the wedding night talk. ;) It was a lot of fun. here's us bridesmaids at the sign in book! Pretty Amanda!

Next it was easter with my family! It was so much fun. I always have such a hard time leaving when we go and stay with my parents. We had an easter egg hunt sunday morning. I wish I had pics from it because it was pretty funny. We have done it ever since I was little. You have to find your basket and then all your eggs. My parents hid little packs of mike and ikes for dan, my bro taylor and I to find and they put one inside a movie case. Luckily that was dans pack and he couldn't find it forever. poor guy. It was such a blast being there with them!

Next on the agenda was a campout in Zion National Park. Ryan and Whitt met us down in Utah and then we drove on down to Zion. When we got to the park there wasn't any room to camp in the site. That was a pretty big bummer but we drove around for a little bit and found a place just down the road. It was on a river and wasn't technically a campsite. But that made it all the more perfect. We had our own little site all to ourselves right on the river. It was so fun! We did an off-roading hike in Zion up to the emerald pools and now we all have hard-core battle wounds. Sadly the weather wasn't too great for most of the week. We got rained and snowed on but thats okay we toughed it out and had fun anyway.

we bought SOOOO much food!! it was worth it tho. we ate like kings!

This is our great campsite before we had camp set up. Isn't it perfect?

the boys had HUGE tin foil dinners

we bathed in the river... BAD IDEA! It was so freezing! I was blue from head to toe. :)some would call us BAMFswe are warriors

we made it! the third emerald pool. It is so gorgeous up there! this is the fire wood ryan collected.

our dutch oven dinners... cheesy potatoes and lemon pepper chicken. MMMMMMM. lesson learned: dutch ovens are annoying to clean...

yay it was so much fun! too bad the wind broke our tent and then we accidentally broke it a little more so now it's a little bit useless. But it's okay because it had a good life and we had a great time.
