Lagoon Video

So here is a video of Nick and Chris on the Catapult! It is quite funny. I was way too scared to try it, and I think I probably won't ever because of the terrified looks on their faces!!! Enjoy!!

Lagoon!!!

So today we went to Lagoon with our friends Chris and Lindsey, and it was a blast! We have been planning it for like a month. We all got work off and Nick and I spent the night in Ogden, where they live, and had an eventful evening, going swimming and playing the wii. Then today we went to Lagoon and by the way- we just love the Rocket!!!

Highlights of the trip: Did you know there is a Firehouse pizzeria in Centerville, well there is and now we don't have to drive up to logan, or plan to be in logan during lunch or dinner!!! Also I got stung by a bee!! Crazy huh, there were bees all over, and one stung me on the neck/shoulder. Nick pulled the stinger out and it still hurts as I am writing this! One thing that makes me happy though is- now that pesky bee is dead because it decided he was too mad to live!! :) I feel he deserved to die! Nick and Chris went on the catapult, I got to be in the front on the colossus, we all got to exerience the stomach turning samuri! Overall the trip was a good time with good company!!!

It's Tradition

Every year we go to the Burley Fair and Rodeo. This year was Nick's first time to experience this tradition since his addition to the family. This year it was my parents, us, Kimmy, Jenni, and Karen; and to my family who weren't able to make it, the maple bars were just as amazing as ever, you really should be jealous you missed out!! The bronco rides I think were the most entertaining, and bull riding was disappointing just like last year, maybe next year they will make up for it!


Here are the Famous maple bars, that we wait every year to experience every August! Really I think we go mostly to the Rodeo for the maple bars. I have been raving to Nick about them ever since we started dating a year ago, and he finally was able to try them!!

This is Nick savoring the taste of this delicacy! He even said they lived up to all the hype (of course)!!!

Lake Fun!!!

We just love enjoying a hot summer's day in nice cool water. We were able to make it up to Bear Lake for Gochnour camp, and then Paige ( my siter-in-law) invited us to go with her family to Lake Powell!! These trips ended up being highlights of our summer!!

This is us at Bear Lake (one of my favorite lakes there is, it is beautiful)!! We enjoyed playing in the sun and then went to camp and played Gochnour Trivia which is a new tradition, and it is loads of fun, reminiscing and all!!

This is Nick and little baby Grayson our nephew, by-the-way, he loves Nick, and I think I am a little jealous!

This is us by lone rock, I know kinda a silly picture, but I didn't take hardly any pictures, so the very last minute we had this one taken. The weather was beautiful, until we were taking down camp and a sand storm blew in, and since nick has contacts and didn't want to get sand in them, he is wearing stylish goggles!! I love him!!! Lake Powell was full of wake boarding,(personally my favorite part), boats, wave runners (nick's favorite) cooling off in the lake, Paige's daisy floaties, and we learned a lot of new card games, volleyball, swimming to like a 3 foot rock and then jumping off of it, 4-wheelers, hot days and nights, playing maffia till the wee hours of the morning!! Good times!!!

Family Reuion!!

Jonathan and Mandie were in town, so we decided to have a family dinner at my grandma's house. It was an enjoyable afternoon!!!

Where to Begin????

So much has happened since Nick and I have been married. We got off to a rough start, but things are going pretty well now. Lets just say that we had way too many trials to keep track. So let me just list so of the afflictions we have faced since we tied the knot---

• phone broke (but then it recovered)


• Got sick on the honeymoon


• Nick got the shingles


• Nick had to see eye doctor a billion times because his shingles were near his eye


• car broke down


• lost my diamond in my ring


• got sick again


• injured my neck playing soccer


• blackened my toenail and I will probably lose it.


• and I am sure there are more but cannot remember...

So our life has been pretty eventful. But there are also a lot of positives to it as well...

• We bought a scooter


• We got a way better diamond than the one we lost (thank heavens for insurance)


• I have a way cool last name!!


• We get to spend a lot more time together


• Nick got a raise


• Nick turned 27


• We got season passes to Lagoon!! So just let us know if you are going anytime soon!!!


• Nick is the best husband ever!!!!

We managed to buy all of this stuff at Ikea and fit it all in Nick's car too!!!

We bought a freakin rad scooter!!! Suckers to all who have cars!! JK

Nick's 27th birthday!!! I made him a delicious ice cream cake!!!

Jeremy and Jen got engaged, and they had an awesome BBQ!!!!

Nick and I at the top of Ensign Peak, I know you can't tell, cause it got dark we we got up there, but the city in the back is Salt Lake City!

5 Days Left!!!

So much has happened these past weeks!!, but unfortunately I haven't had internet until a couple of days ago!! Life has been way busy, but getting very exciting as well. I had three wonderful bridal showers, and unfortunately the last one I didn't take any pictures, which i am kinda bummed about, but oh well! Here are some pictures of them. Nick and I have also spent quality time on warm spring days outside, and this is our adventure to temple square, the tulips are just amazing!! We are on the home stretch ---Last week of the wedding planning!!!
