Snippets - Fall 2014

This fall my little sister got married! Because we had been roommates (which was THE best, by the way) our roommates and me got to go to her wedding shower that her friends hosted for her. It was so cute! Yay for Ellen!        

After the shower Jana, Allison, Abbi, Ellen, me, and our boys went to the cabin and turned off all the lights and played Murder In The Dark for HOURS. We are so mature. And yes, it was terrifying. 

Wedding shower #2. Our family's shower at my Grandma's house. His mom said he could come as long as he wore pink haha.

Food, glorious food!

Aunties. Hands down some of the best ladies you will ever meet.

Bubblegum games :)

Sunday Stroll

We live in such a pretty area.

We went for a fall drive with some friends. You've never seen so many aspens in your life. I love fall!

Another hike. 

Baptism picture (they both have October birthdays). Cutest cousins ever!

Hip hip hooray for weddings! 

Couldn't be happier for these darling kids.

Selfies while we wait for the reception to start.

Fast forward 2 weeks and you've got MISSION FAREWELLS! Two of em. In one day. The youngest cousins both left for the MTC on the same day.

Best cousins

Post-farewell football.

We'll miss you!

What a fun fall! And surprise, my parents are now empty nesters. Crazy times! But good. So good.

Happy Fall Y'all.

Snippets - Summer 2014

Honeymooners in Cancun

 We went ziplining over the jungle, rafting thru underground rivers, driving little jeeps thru underground tunnels, and swimming in the rivers all day. Such a fun place!

 Chi chen itza. So pretty and really cool to learn about the history of the Mayans.

 We went swimming with dolphins! There are dolphins somewhere in the picture below. We do not have any pictures of us with dolphins because pictures literally cost $200. But we've got great memories of it! I love dolphins!!

These parrots were at the dolphin place. While we were waiting, Tyler was trying to get them to attack a stick, so he sat there poking them for 20 minutes with it, haha.

 This is a cenote that was across the street from our resort. All over Cancun there are underground rivers and water, from a meteorite a long time ago. They are mostly fresh water with just a little bit of salt water in them. They are really deep caves all over. We snorkeled in here and I loved it!

 Back home. This is our first dinner in our new home as newlyweds! Our selfies failed (I have short arms), but Tyler is here, too, I promise.

 We live really close to canyons and mountains so we took advantage of that. We drove a whopping 15 minutes and found a beautiful hiking trail. We took our packs (well, Tyler packed pretty much everything, I carried the water :) and camped on the trail. The next morning we hiked up to a beautiful lake. So pretty.

 Camping trip #2. I kidnapped Tyler. Literally. And made him ride in the car for forever. We found an awesome campsite (after 1 or 2 mishaps thanks to me haha) and it was beautiful. Especially the hornets that crawled out of our firepit and into my hair. Tyler killed them with pliers.

 The next morning we went to the Alpine slide- Tyler has never been!

That was a lot of snippets of our summer. It was such a busy, fun, adventurous summer!
