JET SKIING!!!

so these are flowers that are outside in the front of tanner's house! they are just sooooo gorgeous so i had to take a picture of them... some of them look like roses then they look like something else so im not sure if they really are roses... but i did see a lot of houses on tanner's street that had rose bushes just covered with the prettiest colors of roses!!!!

we were waiting for renee to come out of the apartment so i guess this is the pre-jet skiing. tanner took me and renee jet skiing and it was soo so so so so so so much fun! we had a blast!!!i could have done it all day... if it wasn't starting to get so cold...

sitting at the dock waiting for tanner to come show us how these puppies work!

so we went to utah lake b/c it was closest... and well as you can see here the water is not something you want to fall in or you mite wake up in a week with an extra limb... and thats me in the side view mirror!
so there is a dead fish... just an example of how gross the water is.... it was a lovely shade of brown

more of just sitting at the dock... i wanted a picture of me on the jet ski and my super stretchy extendable arm....

so renee (and i) freaked out every time she went to try and turn her jet ski so i went on with her so tanner could show us that it is almost impossible to roll these ones... so renee and i rode together for a little bit (before tanners broke) and tried to go above 20 mph and to turn it...

so once we finally got past the no wake zone and were able to actually drive the jet skis, the one tanner and i were riding broke, something about oil and water... im not sure... so we had to go bring the jet skis in and tanner shut the other one down and loaded it up for the day... so then we all 3 just rode on one together and took turns driving... those things can go pretty fast.. with all 3 of us i got it up to 52 mph and tanner got it to 61 mph! going that fast makes tears come out!!! and renee and i finally (after tanner drove) were able to do sharp turns without thinking we were going to tip it! it was way fun! and tanner's favorite to do was donuts... we almost lost renee on one of them... which would have stunk to have landed in that water but luckily none of us got more than our ankles wet.. plus a little splashes in the face here and there!



there's Y mountain from utah lake!

and thats orem... plus im sure a few other towns

me and the driver (at that point)!



so we went to put the jet skis away and tanner didn't have shoes so he wore my flip flops... i just thought that it was really funny.... but that was our day and at the end we went and picked up paul and went to tanner's for some swimming in the 90 degree pool and to grill some steaks! it was such a fun day! just sad i didn't get to see katy and micah who had to do like work?!! or something like taht... haha

Sunny Days Chasing the Clouds Away

so since mom decided to not post almost any of the pictures from the beach on memorial day/ their anniversary... im going to... i took most of them anyways!!!!

jamie was all bent about having a photo shoot with laree.. so these are their shots... mom deleted some of the other ones un fortunately!!






i randomly decided i had an obsession of making hearts in the sand and water so thats what all these are... models are mom and laree and i guess i did 2



i LOVE plum island!! so sad i don't get to see it again this summer :(

just once again telling the isalnd that i love it... i guess!


so i have a gross facial expression b/c i just wanted to take a picture with the sun in the background... i didn't really want it to be of me so i didn't really make a pretty face


so mom or laree or someone took this little gem....



so skirt is pulled up to the chest b/c i didn't want to get it wet but i didn't want to take it off and i wanted to go into the water farther... not sure what's going on in this one... i might be singing and dancing... possibly

Sam!!

so here is sam truscott... some kid in our ward who came over for dinner and he is just so cute and my mom thought i should post it on here so here he is!! he's a cutie! i put him on jamies choulders when jame's was sitting down and sam would lean down so he could see jamie and feed him some of his cookie!! it was so cute!! and he has the best vocabulary... instead of saying ice cream he says himeam or something like that... he was just a bundle of laughs!! haha

I WAS THE FIRST TO SEE PREGNANT NIKKI (besides chris)

so these are fotos of today when nikki and the kids came down for a bbq and pool party... well it started out as a pool party but we all got cold (despite that the pool is heated and it was 75 degrees out) and it quickly became a hot tub party instead. so my favorite is when i first got in the pool with kenz she would cling onto any limb of me that she could get at but when i told her i was going to throw her across the pool into the deep end where tanner was, she goes in all seriousness "thatz ok ill swim to him" in the flirtiest way possible!! soo funny! and she kept standing on the stairs asking uncle jim to come get her and swim with her... such a girl

so this is tanner's brother-in-law colby (who can't swim) holding jax and dax in the pool... who kenzy decided was uncle jim? i don't know where she got that but it was funny... o yea and dax was alex and dewey was brigham...

tanner some how aqcuired all the children at once after dinner. (he had the blanket and it had gotten cold out)




he likes getting his picture he just can't keep his eyes open


dewey has always been the little guy so he kinda took advantage of bullying tiny little jayden...he was soo amused to see some one smaller than him he kept petting him on the head.

and i guess nikki was attempting to look like renee. i don't know... this was after our walk around the neighborhood and visiting the horses... good stuff... too bad katy was too cool to attend.

Easter and Ooowie

So I got my 2nd easter basket ever!!! it was exciting haha the picture is taken on top of tanner's mini fridge hence the bread and tolls and devil's juice...

By the time i realized that tanner had brought the camera up to his parent's all the pictures worth taking were already gone... but this is tanner's nephews (my buckaroos) chasing these ducks that come back to their house every year because tanner's mom feeds them... dewey especially loved them, he is so funny about it, he growls at them b/c thatz pretty much the only sound he knows how to make. i did get the camera out to get a picture of him just sitting on the stairs growling at the ducks but once i got outside to get the camera he wanted to run around with me

sooo on friday after work, i decided i was going to take a quick bath before meeting up with katy and renee and micah and jamie and once i got in the tub i realized i had forgot a towel so i ran out to go get it.. when i came back into the bathroom i completely fell on the ground and my legs went underneath the cabinet and i walked my ankles really hard (couldn't walk for 3 days) what you can't tell from looking at them is that i bruised my ankle bones really bad and also i have bruises and scrapes on my arms and a few more bruises on various parts of my leg!! :( it wasn't fun

and i had a band aid on it... and now you can kinda see in this picture... its getting nice and infected... hence the red surrounding the wound!!

and this is just the other ankle

tanner and i babysat the nephews today, and the boys both came asleep and dewey woke up so tanner cuddled with him and got him back to sleep, along with falling asleep himself (it was soo precious!!!) and this is me sneaking in to take pictures... moments before daxten woke up and spewed all over the bed he was sleeping in and the moment was killed when i had to wake tanner up to help me get him into the bath!! the poor little buckaroo!!

The Videos!

somehow katy had all the kids crawling around like cats and this is that... i accidently covered the sound thing so you can't really hear them meowing all that well... but it was cute!!





So this is lizzie (obviously) and some water and rings game thing that mom gave them... she LOVES that thing... and i don't think she ever got the rings on the poles but she kept telling everyone that she WON so this is her winning!! (and yes she is using me as a bed!)




This would be a video of kenzy and lizzie singing.... i was trying to get a video of kenzy singing "you make me feel like a natural woman" but when i asked her to sing it again... this is what i got!




Kenzy said or did something to Tanner trying to get him to chase her... so she got her wish!!



and these are carrie's neighbors crazy dogs that don't have voice boxes!! they were sooooo annoying and jaxon and alex thought that they would tease them... so they did! unfortunately i kept covering the sound catcher thingy with my finger so you can't hear very well!




Jayden had lots of fun with this thing of cheese... and at the end of the video that is jayden making that grunting noise... he made that sound alot... o yea and for prayers he folds his arms... i didn't think to get a video of it but it was soo cute!
