A Lot Of Catch Up

Last weekend we went to Lagoon for our annual day at Frightmares. We try and go every year and this year Kelly and David and Mark went also. It was super packed because the weather was like a summer day, but it was fun to think back to the good old days of working at Lagoon we really do have so many funny memories! We really didn't even get to go on too many rides but it was just fun being there, seeing are the creepos, breathing in the fog machines, watching the spooky characters sneak up on people, and spending time togeth.

Waiting in line for the haunted house...the line was ridiculously long so we started taking pics!

One of the many creepy characters walking throughout the park I think they are hilarious!


Did I mention I colored my hair dark brown. My natural color is brown but I have had highlights for a while. I have always wanted to go dark dark brown but have been scared. Finally I just went for it I was super nervous that my hair would turn out red because they added some red warmth to the color, but I think it turned out great, it was exactly what I envisioned and I am thoroughly enjoying being brunette again, plus it is much cheaper upkeep!

I had so much fun over conference weekend. We went down to my parents house on Friday so Phi could go with my dad to the BYU vs USU game in Provo which gave me the perfect chance to get togeth with the girls. I had always wanted to go to Gardner Village for the Wee Witching and so we went. It was so stinkin cute there were witches everywhere and cute kids dressed in witch costumes. I absolutely loved it and loved spending time with Brandy, Shell, and Kel!

This was so cool that witch is on a bike going back and forth across the pond, pretty impressive!

Shell posing on the ancient carriage we were all worried it would bust at any moment but somehow she survived!

I loved all thee witches displays throughout the village

Us inside the outhouse with the witch...we just couldn't resist!

Gardner village is the cutest place ever with such cute things for sale, I wish I could decorate my whole apt. with the furnitre they sell...maybe someday! Thanks Brandy, Kelly, and Shelle for the fun night let's get togeth again soon!

On Saturday we watched conference, which of course was amazing and exactly what I needed to hear, and then Crys, my mom, Jessica, and I all went out shopping. I went to Tai Pan for the first time and fell in love. I can't believe I had never been before they have such great stuff and I will be going back very soon! Then we went to Olive Garden and got a table and the guys met up with us after Priesthood for dinner. It was a lot of fun. Sunday morning my friend Nate invited us to go to conference he had two extra tix and we were excited to go. Catherine, Chad, and his girlfriend Dana also came. I love being able to go to conference every now and again it is a very humbling experience to see how far people will come to go to conference. A family from Nate's mission in Mexico flew in just for conference and went with us as well. I think it is easy to take it for granted because I have grown up always having access to it on TV but being able to go and see the prophet and apostles was a really neat experiece. As usual, conference was amazing and I can't wait to read the talks in the Ensign.

Bring on FALL!!!

Somehow summer came to a close and I never blogged about the end of our summer. Yet another summer has come and gone in which we feel we've wasted because looking back we really didn't do a whole lot. I am still waiting for the summer that we go on some exotic vacation...where is that summer at?! All in all we still had a lot of fun and got to spend a lot of time with eachother. Here are the most recent events that we did these past few weeks:

Every year we go to Peach Days in Brigham City and we really enjoy going. This is us with one of many Peach Days signs just about to go to the Jon Schmidt concert. We love going to Peach Days every year. They have tons of yummy food and tons of cute craft booths. My self control came off conquerer though because I did not buy one thing even though I really really wanted to, other than food of course, a girl needs to eat. If anyone wants to go with us next year you are more than welcome to. We ran into our friends Paul and Stephanie there and had a fun time with them also!
Brigham City night life gets pretty crazy...but seriously I was amazed at how many wackos were at Peach Days this year, I would have to say this was about the best people watching experience I have had and that is saying something!

A couple weekends ago Phi and me went to a demolition derby. These are hands down one of our favorite things to do all summer...seriously! I don't know what it is about demo derby's but they are so fun. Oh wait, I do know it is all the funny people that go to demo derby's and it is all the people cheering on others to injure themselves and cause fires...priceless! This was the last one of the season so they let anything and everything into the arena and there was a lot of action, this time a car even flipped over which was pretty cool!

Some of the action...seriously so much fun!

Finally fall is here and I am so excited for it. One positive (well probably the only positive) thing about commuting through Sardine Canyon every single day is I get to see the leaves change colors literally before my eyes. It is so invigorating to drive through and see such beautiful colors and how quickly they are changing. I have never really seen such huge changes take place before and I love it. Fall is my favorite time of year and it is definitely in the air and I am excited. I am looking forward to a much needed wardrobe change (sweaters, scarves, boots), pumpkin choc chip cookies, soup and bread bowls, the pumpkin walk, corn mazes, carving pumpkins, and candy! I am also looking forward to General Conference this weekend and getting together with my mom and sisters on Priesthood night. I am hoping we can go to Gardner Village and see all the witches...I have never been! Hope everyone else is enjoying fall as much as I am!

The Big 22!

I had a fabulous birthday this year and Nephi and my fam did such a great job of making the day special for me. We stayed overnight in Park City the night before my birthday and had fun swimming, shopping, and just spending time togeth! I love going to Park City it doesn't even feel like I am in Utah and it is a fun little get away and as always the shopping is incredible! On my birthday we went to my parents house and had a party. My mom made some great food and we had a lot of fun. Nephi gave me a mini laptop and wii sports resort for my birthday. My parents gave me a new set of scriptures which I have been wanting forev because mine are the ones I got when I was eight and I really wanted a quad, they are much more convenient! All in all the day was great and I loved spending time together with everyone and playing wii sports resort that game is incred! Even Brandy came over to celebrate and it was great to see her! Thanks for all the b-day wishes!

the 24th of july...better late than never!

we had a fun 24th of july. we took advantage of a long weekend by going to Pocatello and staying overnight. you might be asking yourself what the heck is in pocatello, well we stayed overnight so we could go to lava hot springs in the morning. that night we swam and hit the exciting town of pocatello. we went and saw my sister's keeper and by saw i mean i bawled my eyes out the entire time, but i loved it. we also went to fort hall. if you don't know what fort hall is it is an indian reservation right outside of pocatello and they have a casino there. you only have to be 18 to go there and it is pretty entertaining. i had been there once before a few years back and won about $18, i guess it was beginner's luck because this time i left seven dollars poorer from the penny slots. that's okay though it is not like i was there to gamble we just went for fun and phi went for the free soda and hot choc. the next morning when we came out of our hotel room it was overcast and stormy, which made me very unhappy. we had come all this way and decided to go to lava anyway. when we got there we decided we needed to at least float the river if nothing else. we rented a double tube (biggest mistake ever) and tubed the river. the first time was a blast, we tipped once but still had a good time, the second time we tipped again and nephi lost one of his flip flops so i went after it and couldn't stop so phi came after me and got way torn up from all the rocks so we had to stop it was still a lot of fun but if we did it again we would do single tubes cuz you have a lot more control. we headed back to logan for the annual concert and fireworks. this year they had peter breinholt in concert which we both loved and the fireworks were great also. it was a fun 24th and i am way lame and didn't really get any pics. the next post will have pics i promise!

Long Overdue Post

Well we have been in our new place for over a month so I figured it was time to get posting some pics. We are loving our new place. I love being able to put in a load of laundry whenev I want and not have to plan my whole day around it and I LOVE having a/c it is so nice compared to the swamp cooler we have before. If you want to see more of our place you know where to find us!

The outside of our cute new place...I love it!

Cute little cabinet I put together myself for some additional storage space in the bathroom!

Full bath upstairs, not the greatest pic I know

The master bedroom, it is like twice the size of our other room and you can see the walk in closest which I love. We have a big second bedroom also that we use for an office but right now it is the "random stuff from the move that doesn't have a place yet" room so I didn't think I needed to post the mess!

The half bath downstairs. The people before us left this cute shelf and I was so excited!

My huge kitchen! Off to the left is the pantry/laundry room and further down is the second bathroom

My little table, finally a place of its own.

The kitchen was the thing that sold me on this apartment! It is huge and I love it. I finally have room and then some for a table!

This is our pride and joy! This entertaiment center took us three nights to put together. We opened it up and there were about 300 different pieces and it was quite the process. We were so excited to have it done and it turned out great!

Another shot of our living room. I put up that vinyl quote since I can't paint and I think it turned out really good!
