I'm so sick of rain.

Here's a few things we have been up to lately...

Celebrating my parent's birthday's at Indian Oven.

Slacklining in between rain storms. Clearly, Brody is a lot better than me, but I'm working on it!

I've been working over 40 hours a week for the last few weeks and it's getting pretty exhausting! But waking up to this when I work the 6am shift sure helps!

And most of all, I've been waiting for this stinking rain to stop so I can start my summer!

#100

Well, I've had my blog for over a year now, and this is

my 100th post! Blogging isn't quite as fun for me as it used to be when everything was so new and fun. I think all the posts

about every small little thing we are doing in our lives is getting old-- at least for me it is, and most likely for all of you too--but I don't care to come up with something more creative. I'm sure when we move to Arizona it might get a little more interesting, because we will kind of have a new little life down there. So until then, bear with some of the not-so-interesting posts.

I think spring in Cache Valley is one of the most gorgeous

things! There is still snow in the mountains but everything else

is green and blooming-- I love it!

Pictures

The other day, I babysat my sweet little Neph, and I got some good pictures...

I love it when there are clouds like this in the sky!

Many random things.

First of all-- this looks hilarious:

It's on the Discovery Channel on Tuesday, June 2 @ 10pm if you're interested. I'll be watching it.

---------------------

Second-- Sal likes TV, or lions.

---------------------

Third-- I made brownies the other day and was missing an ingredient, so my mom volunteered to bring it by for me since she was coming by my house anyway for one of the boys games, but she wouldn't be coming for a half hour, so I had some time to kill. I decided to get everything set out and ready to go, so I would be all set when she came with the lost ingredient. No wonder people on TV make cooking look so easy-- it IS if you have everything set out and measured ahead of time!! Who does that? No one.

----------------------

Fourth-- we had a great Memorial Day that included an awesome breakfast at my parents, a bike ride in the canyon, visiting a few gravesites, helping my aunt Carol with some yard work and lunch at my grandma's. I had to work that night, but still, it was a great day!

-----------------------

Last-- we've taken Sal with us to do a few activities including biking and climbing. I think the bike ride was a little too hard for him because he was limping and breathing so hard after that I thought he was going to die. Oops. But he's ok now! And when we went climbing, he wanted so badly to reach the person that was up on the rock wall, that he would jump up on the rocks and get stuck, it was pretty funny.

Here's just some random pictures.

A New Do

Guess who got their hair done??................

Well, you probably guessed wrong because that was Brody! Gotcha!!

The other night we went to my aunt Stacie's house so she could trim my hair and while we were there, we thought it would be fun to curl Brody's hair using hairspray and all!. It was hilarious and he even left it in the next day when he went to the City of Rocks with his friends. Stacie also waxed his nose hairs, which was very interesting. Apparently, it doesn't even hurt that bad, but only Brody was willing enough to give it a try.

Mountain biking is fun.

So I've just discovered that mountain biking is quite fun, especially when you have an awesome bike! We just got ourselves each a new mtn. bike as a present to each other for our anniversary. I was a little worried at first about spending so much money on bikes when I didn't even know if I was going to like this hobby. So, today was our first ride together and thankfully I loved it! The ride up was hard, but a great work out and the ride down was a blast! I tried to go fast and keep up with Brod, but sometimes it got so rocky and bumpy I thought I was going to lose control if I went too fast (However, my butt didn't feel the bumps at all-- it's so awesome to have shocks in the front and the back!) Hopefully I'll get better, but I'm glad to know that I'll get some good use out of my bike!

Moab, Idaho and Ogden

We've had a few fun weekends recently. One was spent in Moab, one in Idaho and the other in Ogden. Here are some highlights...

Moab-

Our weekend in Moab was spent with our friends Nate and Kim doing some biking, climbing (Brody and Nate did an intense climb up this 400 foot tower that took 6 hours!), shopping and camping. It was a fun time until we got rained out a day early and had to go home.

Idaho-

Brody has never really spent much time with my awesome cousins that live in Idaho, so this last weekend, we went with Ryan and Lindsey to hang out with my Smith relatives. Our time was spent eating lunch at a yummy authentic Mexican restaurant, playing croquet and horseshoes, visiting the Snake river/dam, having a bonfire/BBQ and much story-telling and laughing. A big thanks to Janet for letting us stay at her house!

Ogden-

Last Saturday, Brody and I went to Ogden to spend the evening with the Bundy's. We made tin foils dinners and then hiked up to a fun spot up the canyon and had a fire right by the river and played games and ate dinner. We were there for about 5 hours and so much fun just talking and hanging out.
