.....photos around Snow Canyon, St. George Temple, and Thriller
We both had so much fun! Weather was perfect while we were down there, can't wait to go back again to possibly see Little Mermaid.....I'm crossing my fingers
Our weekends have been packed with a lot of fun things! Last, last weekend we went to Jake's work party. Let me tell ya, APX knows how to throw a work party. They transformed their front lawn area into a motor cross arena and had Nitro Circus come and show us a thing or tow. I wasn't too familiar with Nitro Circus but apparently they do motor cross stunts for MTV. While there we also ran into a couple of my cousins there which was fun and oh my goodness, just take a look at this adorable little boy. I seriously couldn't get enough of him! He is one of my cousins. Adorable.
This last weekend, my dad surprised Jake and I with a full day at CLAS ropes course. So much fun! We both did some crazy things such as Jake jumping off a 75 ft ledge blindfolded and trying to catch a ring that was suspended in the air, and us tied together, climbing up a really small ladder and walking across a wire together.....and we learned a whole lot! At the end they fed us all Costa Vida which I was super happy about. As for this weekend.....Jake and I are headed down to St. George to attend Thriller, do some hiking here, and stop by the temple. I can't wait!
Jake and I thought it would be fun to take a little visit to the Zoo over the weekend. I can't even tell you how long it's been since I've been to the Zoo. I didn't remember anything except the little holes you can stick your head through.
They had a new baby elephant named Zuri who is just the cutest thing ever!
So I forgot to tell you about our crazy, fun filled Saturday that Jake and I had. So my dad a couple of days ago had asked me if Jake and I wanted to go waterfall repelling.
"Wait like walking down a cliff next to a waterfall?!" I was a little excited by the idea. Count us in! Let me tell ya it was so dang fun. I will admit I was a tiny bit scared at the very beginning because seriously....you are walking down a cliff. Backwards. Next to a waterfall. Jake absolutely loved it and went a couple of times. Both of us got very wet and if we didn't, my dad would pull your rope into the waterfall so you would get wet.
After that we went to a baseball game. Now normally I wouldn't call going to a baseball game epic. I think it's rather boring to watch. But we were given free tickets that also came with free food. You can never pass up that opportunity. The best part about the game was talking with my parents and hearing their "newly wed" stories. Hilarious. I love my parents.
After that we rushed to Thanksgiving Point where we partook of this. Fabulous. The funny thing was Jake and I had seen a flyer for it a few days before and wanted to go, until we saw the price of the tickets. Too much for us poor newly weds. I was a little sad. Then Jake came home one day and pulled out two tickets for us! I thought he had just gone online and purchased them with out me knowing so I was going to be a little mad, (after the concert of course) but he then explained to me that his work was giving them away for free and that made it even better! So this whole Saturday of epic things was totally free. Excluding parking for the stupid baseball game but that doesn't count.
Don't you just love the trees?!
These next two tie for one of my favorites.Notice I said one.
Loved my veil. Pain in the butt to put in place.
This one just makes me smile! Click here to look at more of this fabulous gals work.
Here is a glimpse of some of our engagements. We have another shoot for Monday and Tuesday so we will have tons of pictures!
Wahoo!
Wahoo!
I woke up this morning to the sound of snow shovels. sigh. I can't really complain about this winter because we haven't had that much of a winter. However, I am so so ready for spring. Or even summer for that matter. I am ready to play outside all day. I am ready to fly a kite. I am ready to go on a bike ride without my ears and nose freezing off. I am ready to wear sandals again. I miss the grass. I am ready to go on a walk without having to put on copious amounts of clothing. I miss being able to read outside. I miss driving with the sun roof and windows down.
I miss these.
And I miss these.
So I've decided that sledding is extremely fun!
Pretty sure I got a little air on a jump and landed just perfectly on a high bump, on my hip. Yes I now have the sickest bruise on my hip.
So we had this long green sled that we decided to put three people on and sled down the hill. First time it went awesome! They flew down that hill!The sled became known as The Green Monster.
Second time however....oh man I am just glad I got this all on tape. Watch it for yourselves.

Finally got the pictures from Witches Night Out! Now remember...this was kind of a last minute thing for some of us. I had no witch costume. I pretty much grabbed a black dress, threw on some fish net tights....which I will say I am not a huge fan of wearing, and had my cousin grab me a hat. I thought I would be okay. I was totally under dressed. Everyone there when ALL out. It was crazy. Lucy was a huge hit. Lucy is the cute dog that my cousin's friend brought with her. She even had a little witch outfit on!
Dear fall, please make your self at home and stay a while.
My new favorite thing to do is drive through a pile of leaves really fast and to see them flutter behind me. I might like it even more than driving through big puddles on a rainy day!
Soon to come....pictures of all the witches at Gardner Village. Yes I went with a group of girls during witches night out where everyone dresses up as a witch and they do a bunch of fun things. It was fantastic. I don't know why I haven't heard of this place before. They had some of the cutest little shops and one where I wanted to buy every single piece of furniture and home decor thing in that shop.
