Christmas Break

Snowboarding for the first time since I broke my elbow. It was a scary thing!
My adorable husband was there the whole time. Helping me buckle in, cheer me on, and
encouraged me throughout the many falls. Good times. 

SNOW BUM! How could this be possible? It's not like I have been falling every ten feet. 

I attempted to go down with Alli and Darby while Chris went down a
harder run. I struggled... I kept falling and falling on my knees. I could
not keep up with them for the life of me. Looks like I need a lot more practice. 

We tried to make a sledding train. Truthfully, this was actually our third attempt. We made it down the hill! 

We like to make weird faces at grandmas house. 

Photo Bomb 

We went bowling with the family for Christmas Eve 

Loving those STRIKES

Dan is so Sweet. He read a cute Hawaiian Christmas story about giving and made us all Hawaiian Laies filled with money, candy, and gift cards. Thank you Uncle Dan 

Christmas Present Exchange Between Brothers and Sisters on Christmas Eve. 

It was so great talking to Jake on Christmas Morning. We really  missed having him
in the morning, but talking to him on Christmas made everything perfect.
Alli started Crying near the end of the conversation. I had to turn away from her
so I wouldn't start crying as well. 

Time to Open Presents. 

Good Morning! 

No way! Could it be????? 

My favorite Blendtec Blender! I have been wanting one of these FOREVER! Thanks Santa 

One More Semester Down, Only One To Go

First Really BIG Purchase 

We bought a CAR! We got a cute little Nissan Sentra:) I love it! Not too mention it gets great gas mileage. It was a scary thing to wipe our savings out, but we were able to buy it without talking out a loan. Unfortuantly a couple months into driving it a little accident happened. It was 6:30 a.m. and frosty outside. I was on the way to campus to take 3 of my finals with Chris. I overshot the suicide lane and bumped a car. My fault of course. Luckily our cute new car just got a little dent. The situation turned out a lot better than it potentially could have.  

We

As part of the SDA club at BYU we had a little halloween party.
Because of our lack of space in our appartment and money to
go out and buy costumes we had to be a little creative this year.
I found an old striped shirt and drew silver flags on a blue shirt
for chris. I think our costume turned out pretty good considering all. 

Madison has become my recent scarf model buddy.
We have gone out and taken pictures with the Jerry Garcia Scarves. 

This doesn't give the hike justice at all! For about 1/2 a mile we had to hold onto chains.
At one point there were sheer cliffs on both sides. 

Over Thanksgiving Break we decided to hike Angels Landing. It was the 4th time for me and the 1st time for Chris and Makell. I thought Chris was going to make me us turn around and quit hiking. The whole way he kept saying to me. "Kay hold on tight, dont let go." I guess my husband sees me as a little bit clumsy. At the end of the hike he said. "Kay, you are never allowed to do that again." It was a gorgeous hike though. 

Look who I found while we were taking pictures.
Elder Butters! 

Chris knows I love these. One day I came home from work to this!
Oh I love my husband. He's the cutest. 

Rodeo, Storytelling Fest, Lagoon

Rodeo Fun! I love going to summer rodeo's. I am glad I made it to one this year.  

My mom and I went to this awesome story telling festiville except
We couldn't get into it. The had sold out of tickets. Notice the
standby line behind us. 

So we decided to set a little picnic up and eat
our dinner outside while we listened to the
festiville from the sidelines. 

We went to Lagoon on Labor Day! My dad was so sweet to plan this day for all of us! It was a blast

Lagoon was so fun with these kiddos:) Such a blast! 

Getting nervous!

I have the cutest little sisters! 

Love my boy:) So much! 

My parents are just too cute 

Missing My Brother

Jake is the Best Brother Ever! I am going to miss him so much as he is out in Russia. I know he will make a great Missionary. He is one of the sweetest most obedient guys ever. He has such a strong ability to feel the spirit. 

Jake wrote on The back of sandwiches he made us! 

In Austrailia when someone leaves they perform the Haka for them. Wow! I didn't know chris had the ability to be this loud and scary! AWESOME! 

Snapchat

We took some pictures by the temple. 

My dad is sure going to miss his favorite son

Sad day:(  We love you Jake! Russia is a lucky place to have you 

Lake Powell... Oh We Love You

Our first trip together was up to Lake Powell so it has a very special place in our heart.  We cannot get enough! Lake powell is just the best! Its warm, beautiful, and you get to sleep on the water. Doesn't get any better than that. 

Picture Bomber in the background

I Love Sara! She has so much energy and is so fun to be with!  

Alli invited me to come swim laps with her. It was fun, besides the fact that I was the slowest one.
Thats alright though I still finished. 

Love this little swimmer

I had a bit of a dilema with the slalum ski. I could not get up on it.  Time and time agian.
Chris finally reminded me to bend my knees in. 

Yay! Got up! It was a swirly ride. 

What a stud my boy is! 

He makes a very cute flag holder

Every since I tore my MCL I have a phobia of jumping too high.
This is about as high as I get on my jumps.

Sun Tanning while we park  the houseboat

My Dad finally decided to buy a new boat! A Malibu Ride! And its AWESOME!
You dont know what your missing out sometimes until you get it! Its gorgeous!

BEAR LAKE

The water is so Blue! I could seriously just be a lake bum all my life and I would be happy! This trip was great! We got to spend a lot of time with my family! And Jake! I got sad when I started to think this was our last trip with him. 

Such a good Pic!  Special Boys that I love

Call my Captain, driving the boat is so much fun. 

Madi is such a sweetheart! She would do anything for anyone! I love hanging out with her

I love all of the talks I get to have with Jake! We have some good hangouts
and a great time together. Jake and Chris have really become good friends
for the year we got married. I love seeing my best brother and love having a
good time together.
