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.
