Summer Daze

Okay, random post of my life the last couple of weeks before we head off to Lake Powell tomorrow. Eek! So excited. These first two Brandon let me take while he was watching the TV. He's not very patient when it comes to taking photos, so this was a good opportunity. That is another reason why we don't have nearly as many pictures of the two of us as I would like. I'm working on it. :) But I love his hair and his haircut! We stayed in Mapleton for a week while Kaori and Scott were in Japan watching the kids and played some baseball and went to the pool. My friend Caitlyn got married and we went to her reception, we helped my grandparents with a yard sale with Steph and Spencer and started the workout program T25. I can't promise we will be doing it daily this next month though with Lake Powell and our anniversary trip coming up. But we will be doing the full 70 days with before and after pics. Hopefully we will see a difference. :) Also, Courtney and I hung out yesterday and I took pictures of her. They turned out really cute. I posted those on my photography blog.

Well, let's hope this night shift passes by quick so I can get to the Lake!

Side story: I work night shifts a couple times a week and so Brandon has to let me sleep during the day for a bit. On this particular day he would come in every hour or so to see if I was ready to get up. :) I was tired but his constant pestering was too cute. He was ready to spend time with me. I love him.

Looking back...

Ever since I got my Mac, I haven't been on my old little netbook hardly at all. Today I pulled it out and found some old pictures I had scanned from my childhood. They are too funny and cute not to throw out there and I know some of you will get a kick out of them. Steph and I were always together and I am going to be honest....I don't know who is who in these first baby pictures. I had a big strawberry on my arm when I was little and the only time I am sure it's me is when I can see it.

Getting into trouble. You can see my strawberry in this one.

Steph: Left, Me: Right

Steph: Left, Me: Right

At the zoo.

Thanks mom for the crazy bows and wild hair. :) Joseph is seriously the cutest thing ever.

Steph: Left, Me: Right

Steph: Front, Me: Behind

Me: Left, Steph: Right

Me: Left, Steph: Right

Steph: Left, Me: Right

Me, Steph, Joseph

How cute is Michael running around in his diaper? Throwing confetti.

Greg, I thought you would appreciate this one.

That hair!

These three pictures in order crack me up. I really had to gear up to give her that kiss. :)

One of my personal favorites.

I'm going to say that is Steph throwing the fit. :)

The cutest little snow suits.

When we moved to Utah we used to eat outside all the time and we always had the same colored cups. I was always yellow. You can't see Michael's but he was green.

When we first started our Lake Powell summer tradition.

Steph: Left, Me: Right

I miss these peach footy pajamas. Me: Middle, Steph: Right

Joseph and those overalls...man, I wish my mom kept some of these clothes.

Back before we switched to snowboarding.

Eating Smore's.

Our baptism day. I remember Steph asking me to go first. :)

Yes, we were in a few plays down on main street in Springville.

Hiking Timpanogas.

Scuba Diving in Hawaii.

Stephi, I couldn't have asked for a better twin. Thanks for sharing so many moments in life with me. Growing up with you was a blast. <3 I love you.
