i know this came out forever ago but i don't even care.

sometimes i just watch this when i need a good laugh.

"how do i feel about my period? uh we're like this. i love it."

hahhaa 

lagoon dos

we went to lagoon again! bounce back baby.

this time we went with just my sister kimmy and her twins kaitlynn and karter

my sister is 30 biologically but probably more like 13 in real life.

she wanted to hit every single ride before the day was out.

so we got out our map and decided to cross off each ride as we rode on it.

it was a very big deal.

match teams! glad my nine year old niece and i have the same fashion sense.

we even made some new friends!

my crew came!

the sky got so scary! i love scary clouds. they are the best.

ry and i didn't really feel like getting wet on rattle snake rapids so we went to explore pioneer village and found this hidden circus place. did anyone else know it was there?! we sure didnt.

we loooooved it.

how the heck did they get all these little miniature circus figures? it blew my mind.

loved this creepy miniature circus figure as well

way better than getting wet.

when we met up with kim and the twins we explored the north side of pioneer village which again, i didn't know existed. they had a church that was dedicated by brigham young just right there in the middle of lagoon. who knew?

it was the neatest feeling going in there as hymns played and looking at everything on the walls and sitting in the original pews where the early saints once sat.

this was really cool.

having a spiritual experience in the middle of lagoon?

  something i never anticipated happening but nevertheless appreciated.

i'm so grateful that happened! we were all kind of dying but after that we were refreshed and ready to go so we decided to hit up the kid slash adult rides that are all new and by lagoon-a-beach. yet again, another part of the park that i never knew existed.  

this baby loves asia as much as i do

kim and i LOVED this one. it was like we were little all over again on that dumbo ride. seriously such a happy time riding with her for those two minutes.

karter didn't care to go on the umbrella ride and kim didn't have real shoes on so he sat out and she wore his shoes.

as soon as we got on the ride it started to pour. it was at sunset so the sky was gorgeous, there were still some scary clouds, the lights came on, and we weren't even that wet since we were under an umbrella. then the rain magically stopped as we got off the ride. sometimes there are those moments where i just feel like God really likes us.

as closing time approached we thought it would be funny to ride all the baby rides that also fit adults. the baby swings were great. we met a great boy named juan and all held hands as the ride circled and really just had a great time. my sister brings out the out of control in me, and i like that.

since accomplishing our goal was so important to us we waited to eat until after the park closed. never has subway tasted better or have i been so happy to eat in a mini van in the parking lot of an amusement park.

as you can see, we did a pretty dang good job.

thanks for making bounce back the best ever guys!

dances with the elderly are AWESOME.

remember the saturday we were going to go on a hike? well this happened after work that day.

ryan's ward had a sign up sheet go around to help with a dance at a nearby assisted living center

 (old folks home just seems so unkind to say yet i had to ask someone another name for it)

so of course he signed us up and we went!

ryan flirted with all the widows

while i talked to zane gray who basically hated everything about life but said i made his day. 
:)

flirting again

so blurry but so great.

only a handful could actually stand up (let alone dance) so this is what it looked like some of the time but they had great refreshments! everyone liked that part.

and i just loved sitting next to bff zane. i'm thinking about adopting him as my grandpa.

anyway.
 if you ever want to have a good time on a saturday night you should definitely hit up one of these. you won't regret it.

one saturday we decided to go on a hike

but theeeen we forgot to wake up in time so instead we ran errands.

first up = register kanye and while we wait eat free popcorn, read, and feel patriotic

next: use the gift card to best buy from christmas

(did it with 8 cents to spare!)

then: go to forever and try to find a few things for bear lake time coming up.

these pictures made me realize i haven't lost the

weight i gained in my face from the mission and that made me sad.

anyway, i did a lot of this

(proof we were going to go hiking = cool kicks from 2007)

while he did a lot of this

and then i felt real excited that i actually found things (that were semi) what i was looking for!

one of these days we will plan to go hiking and really do it though.

promise.
