So cute!

I found a post-it commercial on another blog and thought it was really cute and then I remembered that post-its had a contest for the places you use post-its and found an even cuter one! Here they are together in one place! Enjoy!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!

Reservoir Lake 2009

HOORAY! I went on vacation AND got to see my family. It was so good to get to go to Reservoir Lake - out annual camping spot - once again! I haven't gone the last few years and missed it. Here are some pictures from the adventure.

Here is the group on the cattleguard.

I love swimming in lakes SO much - so this is FANTASTIC.

Mmmm s'mores!
One night Dillon was in Jessika's chair. She sat on him and then somehow a struggle ensued and the chair tipped and Jessika went right over Dillon. Ouch!

Hooray for Elizabeth and Shayna who are high school seniors this year!

My dear mom and dad! :)

This is my cousin's little girl Kayla talking to my dad and I love it!
We took jumping pictures. Sorry about the spot of epidermis you can see.

Then Shayna and Kristy took some jumping pictures. It took them quite a few to get in sync and then after one that was pretty good and where Kristy liked her pose they did that pose together.

Here is the group of younger girls just chilling at the sign - Gabriella, Alyssa, and Amberly! Beautiful!
And the boys needed their tough looking picture.

Kelly and Elizabeth showing off their fashion. The other fashionable thing of the week was squished mosquitoes on your clothes.

Speaking of mosquitoes I captured one in a picture! Right there by Stephanie's nose. I also got Adam looking REALLY excited . . . probably because one of those bugs was eating him. In return for them eating us. We ate a bunch of gnats (ok this wasn't on purpose but it felt better thinking it was some sort of revenge).
Ok so this picture is not a very good one but the story is. My camera was having issues with picture taking at that time of day (dusk). But the story behind this is we were in my aunt Linda's camp when Gabriella freaked out as she saw a bear. She ran to the van along with her sister and my cousins Jessika. We said go tell everyone else so Jessika took off through the campgroud YELLING - "It's a bear, there's a bear." Then my uncle Glenn came and informed us that from outside the tent you could see that it looked like a bush. Due to our discussion after Jessika took off about how it hadn't moved and the dog in the campground next to us wasn't barking we accepted this pretty good. Then up the road comes my whole family - yup someone yells bear and we head TOWARD it - that's us. It was just great and Jessika was not impressed that we sent her to tell everyone about a bush - even if we thought it was a bear when she took off. OH! Also there were deer down there when we went to take pictures and we think that Gabriella saw them moving and then the bush and imaginations can just go wild.

This is AMAZING.

It's filled with humor, action, love, friendship, and heartbreaking moments.
I love it.

Do the chickens have large talons? . . . . one more for the day

Before I headed home on Sunday with my friend Erika who I love lots! I went out and played with the newest addition to our home - the chicks!

Personally I think all four chicks in this photo are pretty cute. ;)
As well as the two featured in the photo below and not included in the above one.

Adam rounded up the ducks and he eventually caught Uncle Waldo (the white one) and the other is Mallory. I pretty much just love that one of our ducks names is Uncle Waldo.

Update!

Actually I found my sisters blog and pictures are abundant there so I can share more of life! I got to go home for the 4th of July and I got to go home on the 2nd due to the 3rd being celebrated in Logan. On the third this was the weather smack in the middle of the afternoon (all day had been sunny) . . .

That's right - HAIL! It left TONS of water! The streets of Arco had large puddles filling them!

And then after this we went and worked on the parade float for Mountain View RV Park and Cafe - I used to work here and now my brother Cody and sister Shayna do.

This is me, Mom, and Dad enjoying the parade! Not only was it 4th of July but Arco has been around 100 years too! We went to the fireworks later that night and forgot the camera but as usual they were great and the rumble off the mountains was amazing! I hope you all had a great Independence Day! It's truly wonderful to live in a place like America!
This is a part of the float. Adam is in red and like last year these guys threw all their candy at the beginning of the parade - we were offered bark.

So I have not been as up to date as I should be on my blog - what can I say life is really exciting and I am keeping busy- not to mention my internet at my apartment is down and I am too lazy call and get it fixed. But I promise pictures and stories are coming soon!

To prove it I will tell one now! Monday when I was at work my friend Kyle asked what my plans were for the day. Other than working I had none and so he drove up from North Ogden to play (Tiffany had her family vacation this week and was not around). We went rollerblading at a park down in the Island and then made pizza. We were later joined by Brennen and Marlin and my neighbor Mary - they all know Kyle and I have met them all before but not done a whole lot. Well we decided that we would go up to Hyrum Dam and cliff jump.

Let me explain here, I have NEVER had the desire or thought to go cliff jumping - it's NEVER appealed to me and I wasn't sure Kyle was going to go either but when he said sure let's do it I figured I would at least go to the dam with them - turns out it's not bad (ok the first time was hard and the second time was HARDER - yup didn't get easier). Also let me explain that I have boundaries and people can't just convince me to do whatever - I knew I was safe and ok or I would not have jumped. This is where we jumped but that's not us.P.S. Weird note . . . there was a lifeguard at the top of the hill - not really in the position to come get you quickly - we assumed they were watching the whole reservoir and had contact with a boat out in the water, just an interesting side note.

AND I also want to throw out a thank you to my friends - holy cow you are amazing and I love you all! Thanks for choosing to be a part of my life and/or letting me be a part of yours.
