big cottonwood canyon

Step 1: find sturdy tree

Step 2: use sharp rock to carve with

Step 3: say "cheese"!

we had fun exploring Big Cottonwood Canyon yesterday 
afternoon with our dogs.
we want to enjoy every last bit of warm weather we can 
before the snow comes!

Happy Sabbath!

September for the busy bees

i've been a busy bee this fall with school starting again, being a mommy to our 2 puppies, and working part time.
but somehow we've still been able to find the time to do all sorts of fun things together.


.like when we went camping and woke up early to keep my family's tradition of going to IHOP on monday holidays. 

..or like that time we sipped on hot cocoa while we shopped at City Creek and Will surprised me with a gorgeous wedding band for my ring! 

..or when i got a little autumn-crazed and loaded our house up with the smells of fall.

.. or like that time we had tons of fun babysitting our little cousin Carter and husband snuck a picture of us all tuckered out.

..or when we spent an entire Friday night reading The Hunger Games. we really like the books!

..or like every Sunday when we go to Will's parents and watch these rascals get all of their energy out.


life has been oh so good to us! 
and we're mighty grateful for all of our blessings.

that time i jumped out of an airplane..

i was going through some old pictures and found these treasures..
they were too awesome not to share.
want to make a spontaneous decision?
grab a friend and go skydiving.

 my friend Lauren (aka the birthday girl) who's just as crazy as i am.

 the cool guy i jumped with.

TIMBERRRR!

 i screamed for 7 minutes straight.. poor cool guy.

 Jimmy Neutron hair.
