june : rexburg slash idaho falls

a few weekends ago we went to idaho (i'm on a roll!) because ryan was playing with nik day at byu idaho
it was still being so pretty!

on the way there i was getting familiar with ryan's new iphone and fell in love with what i like to call
"the myspace app"
it helped pass the time and made everything look way more awesome so they will be strung throughout this entire post. this trip not only helped me stop hating idaho but iphones as well! success.

it was a great ride up. we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. thank you pandora!

once there i tried to find the bathroom and found this lovely place instead.

i also decided to find a senior couple from my mission that arrived home a little bit ago. after getting the yellow page app we found out they only lived .6 miles away! so while they all did sound check i took myself on a little rexburg adventure.

bertha's twin!
still so sad she died.


i guess they forgot to put in sidewalks. dangerous rexburg!

i was so thrilled to show up at their door in such creepy fashion!
after talking to their neighbor i found out they went out of town for a few weeks to visit their kids.

i stood on their sidewalk without a sidewalk - completely defeated.

but eventually made it back to reunite with ryan
i always get really excited when we both wear mens v-necks and i look like a man

and ryan always gets really excited when pictures like this happen.

after some iphone fest and dinner i got to watch these fancy cats perform!

the black v-neck was definitely the right choice



who knew that in idaho they are famous?


i miss that pen.

we also ate this afterward.
why would butterfinger, fruit, and runts make someone sick? i don't get it


because they are so famous byu-i put us all up in a hotel!
it was probably the swankiest hotel i've ever been in

i was sad we were only there for a minute

but happy we got to head down to idaho falls to see good friend jan!
jan is great and the saddest part of our friendship is i hadn't really seen her since this photo was taken :

just bein at my farewell like three years ago!
thanks facebook.

anyway, after church we decided to go see the falls of idaho.
and they really were so pretty!
 it made me want to live in this town so i could stare at them all day

thanks to the sweetest old ladies who took this photo so we could be in one together! if only iphones had self-timers..



on the way home i continued to be amazed at how cool this app made everything look. so i took pictures of him drinking water  and driving amongst doing other things to keep me entertained.

while trying to find a gas station we saw this sign

and this house within a few feet of each other. so fitting! such gems
(please click on this house to make it bigger so you can really see all that is going on)

then we went and visited this cutie before we left.
my grandpa is the cutest!

and so is his house!



if you ever want to go visit him in malad, you are more than welcome.

thanks iphone, ryan, beyonce station on pandora, famous nik day, byu-i, swanky hotel, the gem community of downy, grandpa, aunt jeri, boating treats, jan, idaho falls, and great weather for bringing me such a lovely weekend!

(ps happy fourth of july!)

june: boating time # 1

we loved driving behind this the whole time

and then these boys appeared

let's discuss how utah lake is flooding

maybe russ thought more people would be coming?
(and all the mountain dew would be brought by richard, for richard)

let's discuss how those rocks line a road that i walked on a few months ago for some pictures and now it is flooded!

if you notice, we got the whole gang in the photo


welcome dry suit!
..it will take some getting used to


i started eating these as a joke but then became addicted and ate the entire bag.
don't judge me.


ski lover!

look at how that mosquito came right into my face!
..i'm glad the traumatic experience was documented.

never has more happiness been captured in a photograph.

june number dos: swimming with babies

this happened on june 6th in case you were wondering.

so somehow in my sister kim's one semester of college she became best friends with all her roommates slash neighbors and they still get together to this day and have play dates with their babies. since i'm the cool 24 year old sister that has yet to have any children (or be married for that matter) i got to come and sit in the background and just watch and document. it was actually really entertaining. i hope you feel entertained as well!



this dog?!?




soooo many babies

i love how you can see all the water coming out as kamden sucked it all up and then spit it out haha

if i ever have a little girl i would like it to be this one but with 
brown hair. thank you.

korby didn't quite know what to do with his

playing nice = rough life

kaitlynn!

LOVE this one

i maybe took 30 pictures of these two in the corner.

oh shoot. sometimes chlorinated water isn't the best.


kam just bein a ladies man

karter is comfortable with his manhood

sisterz

so many fluffy dogs

mom life

have some child with your floaties

can you see the mountains in the back? it was so so pretty. gimme that view!

smooth

thanks to all the sisters bffs to bringing great snacks. i had never had these before and i'm absolutely in love. so so delicious, or in the words of all you married gals - yummo!
(but really, did anyone else notice that when you ladies get married you start using various ways of saying "yum" when you talk about food?!)

anyway. the babies loved swimming so much that they fell asleep immediately.

if anyone else needs me to document their babies swimming or anything else,
i'm here for you.
