Summer 2014

Our summer was great this year! I had summer school for part of the summer but had a good little break so that left plenty of time for us to play!


The beginning of the summer we went kayaking with our friends Sarah and Phil and their family at Jackson lake in Mancos, CO.

 We met up with our friends Todd and Alisha in Greenriver to hang out.

 Took a couple hikes to some arches in the area. This post here is the hikes I went on with my Mom.

Some of my crazy cousins came to visit for my grandma's 85th birthday party and a few of us got to go hiking while they were here.

 

Of course we roasted a bunch of corn. This one was in Monticello, UT for their Pioneer Days Celebration.

This was the Totah Festival at the Civic Center in Farminton.

The end of July we went to Dallas Texas and got to visit Preston and Jess. While we were there we went to a Yankees vs. Rangers baseball game.

Also had a blast at 6 flags! We went on so many crazy rides my head was killing me by the end of the night.

The beginning of August we took a trip to Utah with Reed's dad to visit the Millers and see their cute new house.

Since we didn't participate in the fair this year we were able to go to a few Connie Mack games with some friends.

A couple weeks ago we went to a Dustin Lynch concert with our friends Megan and Anthony here in Farmington. It was a blast too and I think I have a slight crush on Dustin Lynch now. :)

Overall it was a great summer. Its always sad to see summer end but this is my last 2 semesters of school so yipee for that!

November

I finally finished school yesterday so I finally have time to update this sad blog of mine. Its been a crazy life the past couple months but somehow we survived and made it through alive. Now I have 3 weeks off school to relax, even though I'm still working it'll be a huge. I plan on sleeping in everyday and I don't even care!

In November I went to the Breaking Dawn 2 midnight premier with some friends. Yes we are nerds but we do it just to have some fun time together.

{November 17}

I ran another 5K with my mom. It was the turkey trot and I even got a sweet shirt out of it.

This little sweet Nephew of mine was also born in November and I just can't get enough of him he is so cute just like his sisters. I love being an Aunt.

Reed and I got a few days of for Thanksgiving break and it was amazing. I didn't study at all and spent some time with this guy instead. We had a shooting date one afternoon and shot at one of our old roasted corn signs for target practice.

For Thanksgiving Reed had a bunch of family in town which consisted of many game nights. One night we got together for a volleyball tournament and ended it with a heated match of 4 square. It was a good time like always.

I got to help my mom make some of her famous homemade turkey noodle soup. Its seriously my favorite part of the holidays. I look forward to her soup more than Thanksgiving dinner itself.

The last weekend of November we participated in a dodge ball tournament again. It was super fun and I was super sore afterwards. I need to get out more so this doesn't happen. It was so much fun and we barely came in second. We barely lost to a couple heated matches but you have to give us credit the team we lost to were scary. Two of the guys on the other team were college pitcher over 6 ft tall and could chuck that ball super hard. Most of their team were college athletes so I was happy with our outcome.

And just in case you want to know just how serious we are about our dodgeball I'll leave you with this picture....

Don't mess with us we mean serious business.

Recent Happenings

After this semester started it seems like we are busy all the time, but every once in a while we find some time to squeeze some fun things in. Not as much as I'd like but heck we can't complain.

Last Weekend {Sat Oct. 13} I ran a 5k race with my mom. Luckily I had her to keep me going because I wasn't in shape at all but we made it. My mom is amazing for taking up running and I think she did awesome. I was the one breathing hard not her.

Reed went to Utah to do another Tough Mudder. This is a finish photo of Reed, Preston, Derek, and Shawn. They had a blast as usual.

This weekend we entered into Farmington's annual kickball tournament. We had to play a few games with our famous staches.

 We had a blast and yep that's right our team won again! This year it was a close call but we pulled through and won a $200 giftcard to Three Rivers.

It was nice to do something fun on a weekend instead of studying the whole time. We are half way through the semester which means Reed is almost done! We are for sure looking forward to it and hoping things will calm down in our life

Sarah's 30th

Last Saturday I went to Pagosa Springs for my friend Sarah's birthday. We went on a hike called the four mile hike to a beautiful waterfall. We had tons of fun talking, laughing and hiking together. I haven't ever spent time in Pagosa but it was super pretty. I want to take Reed with me next time to go camping. Anyways, here are some pictures of our super cool trip.

 3-0 for Sarah's 30th birthday.

Kickball Tournament

This weekend we were in a city kickball tournament with some family and friends and let me tell you it was so much fun! We played 5 games and in the tournament we played 3 games, so a total of 8 games. We won every one of our games and took first place!! In return we got a gift certificate to Applebee's. One lady commented that we were very good and I told her we travel the country and she believed me until I told her I was kidding. :)

Somehow we all ended up getting these stick on mustaches. They were super funny especially on Reed. We thought he looked like a Russian aerobics instructor and we all kept trying to get him to speak some Russian.

 Stash love <3

 Our team name was "kick or die" but next year we are going to make it "kick your stash" :) We have to defend our title.
