bear lake 2011!

(said in the "mona 2011!" voice but minus me almost crashing into a tree part)

we loved bear lake! 

we loved this horse we found

(brooke especially as you can see)

i actually didn't hate these chacos

 we loved being on the boat

 and tubing

and lisa

 and some of us loved reading

(book not pictured)

the babies loved playing in the sand

 lisa loved being pregnant

 i loved entertaining myself by taking pictures while ryan loved reading

 then i loved helping build this creation with brandon and annie

 then i loved finding a heart shaped rock but did not love not ever being able to spell love without it getting washed away.

we all loved wendy

 ryan's hands loved being sliced open by nasty fish

nasty fish loved being nasty

i love blurry photos and this photo of annie

i loved all these sail boats

 even though ryan took many pictures of me standing i loved this one most

 love this photo

(and i loved these next few taken by brooke:)

and this one

and this one

and these guys

 and all those people

 and i love this picture brooke took of haylie

 and i just love those margetts!

and jumping silhouettes.

sorry i hated making captions and so they are dumb. but it was a very fun trip!

those margetts do know how to have a good time.

boating: numero four

my sd card finally decided to load onto my computer! thanks sd card.

we went boating about two weeks ago and went back to deer creek.

there was brandon

and annie

and haylie

and brooke and jaden

and ry guy and myself

and russ. who is not pictured.

 and then later on wendy, tyler, and lisa came. and max of course.

ryan wakeboarded

i cheered.

we laughed. ate. enjoyed the sun. played in the water.

and just loved these girls loving on us.

thanks for providing such good times cobalt.

let's look back at what this break had to offer.

(and by break i mostly mean christmas and weddings)

every so often i worked and chatted with the great people of the www.

then (i forgot to take pictures for a week of it somehow so now we are to) christmas eve we had a lovely dinner with the margetts

christmas program with the moysh's

then topped it off with some traditional new pajamas. 

christmas morning was spent again with the moysh fam

christmas afternoon was spent with the margetts lounging around and playing hedbanz

ryan was too nice to me and besides other nice gifts surprised me with a book of my mission!

he went through the thousands of mission photos i have (bless his heart)

 and made this book.

it took him hours and hours and hours

..best gift i've ever received!

the day after christmas we flew to texas for our dear friend ashlie's marriage fest!

we stayed with my sister tricia and within the hour of arriving ryan was being harassed by little children, as usual.

that night was spent at the lohner home catching up and staring at their way magical christmas tree!

nights were spent being twins and watching various movies 

(all of which i fell asleep to..BUT we watched the davinci code the other night and i actually stayed awake! definite miracle)

wedding dinner

married!! 

(she looked soooo good)

..but still very much ashlie.

pretty reception 

(sushi!)

photobooth

and a hundred other photos that i'll keep to myself..it was a great wedding to say the least.

before leaving i realized i didn't really take any photos of tricia's family (and dale's sister's fam who was staying with them for christmas) so this is all i got, taken right after everyone woke up. sorrrrry tricia. 

we loved staying with you!

the flight home 

that night was the annual christmas party. big success.

next up:

 courtney price

(aka my trainer)

extra treat =  the hoers were right in front of me in the sealing! very worth almost dying on the roads to get there.

 sweetest brother in law drove me to the temple and then accompanied me to the luncheon.

awkward? maybe.

delightful? yes.

new years eve=dad's birthday

breakfast with the becks!

..then rang in the new year with another round of hedbanz until 2:30 am.

(which is why this was such a treat)

and tomorrow is brynne's turn, i can't wait!!

words don't express how happy i am for that girl.
