Who forgot the utensils?

They love to be held like teddy bears

Nick and I went camping for labor day. It was the first time that we have ever been camping together. Weird I know, we live in Utah and that was the first time together. We went with our friends Chance and Leslee Lundgren. Nick was nice enough to cook us tinfoil dinners we just forgot something to eat it with. Good thing we have fingers. It was a very relaxing, low key night. I love camping this time of year and it makes me excited for fall! Fall camping anyone?

Where is a video camera when you need one?

I realize this will be much funnier being there and experiencing it but I want to share anyway. So I was walking through the parking lot tonight as this girl was walking out to her car. Some guy came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder and as she looked behind her, she tripped and fell. Not just a stumble but full on fell on her face with her gym bag and all. Ha ha ha I hate to laugh at other people's expense but it was funny! The worst part was I had to walk past her with a straight face. It was hilarious! That is all.

Liz's Senior Pictures

Liz wanted me to take her senior pictures. Although she doesn't graduate for another year we wanted to do it while the weather was warm and I have time. (believe it or not my free time is coming to an end) After doing her hair and makeup we headed down town and out to the Saltair. Since photography is just a
hobby of mine I can't justify spending money on photoshop but one day my friends I will own it and give you all a real editing job.

What a fantastic idea!!! I think all would agree...

Soooooooo, this is Nick, writing my big second blog. I don't have much to write, I just really wanted to share this clip with everyone. I think you will all enjoy it alot, so please give us your feedback on it. Don't tell Dyanna, but I am thinking about getting it for her so she doesn't have all that MESS to clean after walking Prez. Your thoughts?

More fun on the sewing machine and spontaneous fun

After: These were pants I made into shorts



Before: The Neck line was too big and baggyAfter: Sewed it up and added buttons. I can't decide about the buttons. What do you think? Get rid of them or maybe only have one or what?

Before
After: Made the jacket and collar shorter

I made a few alterations on my clothes because I decided ,why not fix them to how you want them? Here are the final products. Yes there are some timed photos and yes I have too much time on my hands.. not for long though. Also I told Nick yesterday that we should do something spontaneous and he suggested going to the Saltair. I of course brought the camera along and of course took some pictures of the sunset. I thought the sunset was too cool not to share. I edited the sunset pictures and made them brighter but I decided that's cheating and undid them so they are true to color. I promise these will be the last of the sunset pics.

Bear Lake round 2

Last weekend we went to bear lake again with a bunch of people. Fortunately no one fell in the lake this time, or should I say unfortunately :) We did go to Bloomington Lake again and people were going off the rope swing into the water but none of us had our swimsuits on so that didn't happen for us. We did go boating at Bear Lake though which I am always up for. I hope to some day own a boat but I am still convincing Nick that he wants one too. We also buried Lindsay in the sand and gave her her dream body. It was a lot of fun and hopefully we can go back next year for round 3.

One year already?

Nick and I celebrated our one year anniversary yesterday. After I camped for three days and Nick had been traveling for three days we were both pretty exhausted and slept a good part of the day away. After awakening from our much needed naps we went to Trio cafe because that is where we had our luncheon. It was delicious! For anyone that hasn't been there I recommend you go! After dinner we went home and made chocolate dipped strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, danced on our deck to I need you by Tim and Faith because that was our first dance song and Nick was paranoid the whole time that someone could see us, then we went and lit sparklers because we still had some left over from our wedding. I would like to say we ate the top of our cake, especially since it was saved for that purpose... however it was mistakenly thrown away as old ice cream since it was in a ice cream tub:( . It was my year to plan and I know, I am pretty cheesy! We had a good time though. Especially with the sparklers as you can see from the pics. Marriage is an adventure, but one I am glad I am taking. Someone in our ward summed it up pretty well in their talk when he said my wife is one of my biggest challenges but also one of my biggest blessings. I think that goes for wives AND husbands. There isn't a better match for me and I am so happy to be a part of Nick's life. The end.
