OOAAHHH Bear Lake Trip

This last week we got to go camping at Bear Lake with our friends. There were about 25 of us and it was such a blast. We sat around the camp fire, played games, went to the beach, tubed, and made fun of each other a lot. It has been a while since we have laughed so hard and so much. I wish we could have stayed longer!

trying to switch tubescheck out how amazing Lonas' face is. I love it. Whittney jumping overlooks like we are about to crashI started laughing so hard i was just laying there hanging on with one hand. Whittney panicked and thought i had passed out. This is her saying, "allyx? ALLYX?" and then we both were laughing so hard we ate it very soon after this.
Whitt and I took it upon ourselves to make fun of Chon Peter Barrand as much as possible so here is a tribute to him:

I haven't blogged in forever and ever so I will go back a little ways to the few weeks of birthdays. Dan and Whitt had the same birthday. Dan-28 and Whitt-22. we had a great BBQ at our house with Dan's new birthday present: a GRILL! yay! It was a lot of fun. Levi came up to surprise the birthday folk and stayed for a few hours with us. Too bad it was a rainy day. It was still awesome. That night we went FAZER TAGGING. (spelling?) It was awesome and we all got sweet battle wounds to prove it. Then we went swimming and hottubbing at a local hotel then ate at chilis. mmmm good. The next week was my birthday! I turned 21 so now I am a big time drinker. :) We had a delicious feast for lunch with the Evans and Kulischs and then went down to Rexburg to celebrate with my cousins and friends b/c it was my cousin McCall's hub Dane's birthday as well. We played some softball, ate some hotdogs. It was awesome. Dan got me a GUITAR!! yes! So now I can continue to learn and become the rock star I am dying to be. Lonas and PotterPants made me an amazing High School Musical cake that is the greatest thing in the world. I love birthdays!

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.
