finally.....

When i made my pillows .... (forever ago) i decided that i was going to do something with my bedspread or the lack thereof. So i bought some fabric... sewed some pieces together. did a couple of frilly things and this is what i came up with. I hope brock likes it when he gets home from work. the only thing left i have to do is a couple of small pillows and a head board.

ARCHES

Black & White.

Ok so i took my last final today. AND I HAVE OFFICIALLY PASSED ALL OF MY CLASSES !!! (thank heavens) So now only 15 more weeks of school and i am officially an RN !! (woot woot) But in the mean time.... I have discovered that i get myself into more then i bargain for a lot of the time. beginning with this......

A while ago i decided that i didnt really like our bedspread. so i decided that i was just going to do something really simple and neat. And anybody that knows me knows that i love black and white. in fact if you look in my closet thats what i wear a lot of the time and my whole house is black and white its almost ridiculous.. well.. this is what happened and i have only just begun.

I am not quite finished with this one yet

I am wondering if i took the whole black and white thing too far??

the before

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Tess & Addisyn. I am a little early for Tess's and really late for Addisyn's I have taken up the sewing thing and i think i am getting a little bit better. I havent finished the sleeves yet. but i am still working on it! It was also nice to be able to get these done instead of studying for finals !!! Oh and it is Brocks 25th on saturday September 19th

some fair and being crafty is tuff !!

Addi's favorite animals were the pigs !!

ADDI LOVED HER HUCKLEBERRY ICE CREAM

MADDI HAD HER 4H PROJECT IN THE FAIR AND GOT A PURPLE RIBBON!!

ADDI WAS ONLY IN HER STROLLER FOR A LITTLE WHILE BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTED TO HOLD HER

Brock and I got to go to the fair with some of my very favorite girls this past week! It was so much fun to get to spend some time with my sisters and walk around the fair (even addi was there) Also while we where there Brock had quite the time. On sunday we were out kicking the balls for the dogs and as dex let his go one of them had a rope still on and it gave brock a nasty rope burn. after that brock kicked and ended up giving himself turf toe !!

Maddi's new dog named "flash"

SO while I was skimming blogs i found this cute mirror that this lady had made, and instantly thought oh yeah i could do that easy. well it wasnt as easy as it looked that was for sure. (could have been because i didn't measure things right 100%) Also i got a mirror for a dollar, well like brock always says you get what you pay for. so its finished and i kinda like it but i am going to be redoing this project now that i think i have it down!

Lake Powell

Me & Jamie Jumping off cliffs AHHHHH i was terrified

Brock & stu

I had never been to Lake Powell before and Brock was dying to get away so we decided that we would go with some of Brocks friends. (thanks for driving Stuart). Brandon Bess & his family let us come hang out with them on their house boat and showed us the time of our lives! here are some pics from our adventures.

MeAdOw LAKE

For the 24th (which is a utah holiday, who knew !!) brock and i went camping with my family and the lunds. while we were there there was this huge mountain that we decided to climb. we all thought that it was going to take us hours and hours and hours so we packed about a whole case of water bottles in a couple of bags and started heading up. On our way up we discovered that dexter is not completely human, in fact he has some mountain goat in him. he flew up the mountain like it was nothing and all of the rest of us (brock, me, christine, and eden) struggled to keep up with him. it actually only ended up taking us about 45 minutes to really get to the top. On the way down we were just on slate rock which is very slippery, and with every step that you took you went down about 4 feet. after we got the hang of it, it actually was kind of fun. brock yelled the whole way down "WATCH OUT AVALANCHE !!!"

Later that night we were looking up the mountains and saw that there were some mountain goats up at the top. we decided that it would be fun to see how close we could get to them. This time it was Britni, Christ, Eden, Madeleine, and me and brock. Oh and dexter also came but took a different way and basically just ran straight up and scared them all away before we got to them (hence why we think he is part mountain goat.) We had a really good time. One night as we sat around the camp fire we got my dad and scott to karaoke with us, which was you put the ipod in your ear turn it up so you cant hear a thing and sing. My dad's song of choice was of course Celine Dions "im your lady" and scotts was the exact opposite " summer of 69."

Just down the road from Meadow lake is this small little abandoned mining town called gilmore. we went down to the ruins and took some pictures. The pictures that were taken on the bridge were pretty scary it was not very sturdy. In one of them you can see that brock has pulled me to try and startle me into thinking i was going to fall, and let me tell you it worked. we were about 20 feet in the air. besides that it was a pretty cool place.
