Our weekend adventure.....

Alright so this weekend we decided that we wanted to go camping with some friends up in Walsburg. We were having so much fun and way excited to find our camping spot. As we're driving around looking for the perfect spot griffin wanted to take me and climb this hill in his jeep. It was really fun and griffin impressed me with his driving skills. As we were taking this new road to meet up with the others the road was getting kinda muddy but nothing griffin couldn't handle. Well as we come up over this hill we see a car that looked really stuck. So as we are driving a long looking ahead at this car (that we thought might be one of our friends cars) we came across a little problem ourselves. All of a sudden the entire right side of the jeep sank(major surprise because the the mud looked like it was completely hard and dried up) . Really truly sank and there was nothing we could do about it. We were so incredibly deep in the thickest most impossible mud. Thanks to griffins good driving skills and nash for willingly taking his car up to this crazy spot we finally got the jeep out. Thanks guys for getting dirty and helping us out of that sticky mess. You guys are awesome!

Okay so these are pictures of me tay and skye from last year. We were having a little to much fun on griffins computer :) We could hardly breath we were laughing so hard! and yes i've gotten permission from tay to post these ha

Pictures of us........

This is us in Powell last year over memorial weekend! These pictures are kinda mixed up but the powell ones at the bottom of the post are from the same trip!! We had such a blast :) We were lucky enough to have heather and annie come with us! They were seriously so much fun to have there. We need to do it again.

This is a picture from last summer when Griffin and i decided to hike the Y. Well we got half way up and had some lunch! It was such an incredibly hot day so we took a breather. After we finished eating we headed up the mountain. We got around two corners when i started to feel like i was going to throw up. Then i started to get really really dizzy. Then i couldn't hear anymore and everything sounded like it was a mile away (scary). Then my vision went and my whole body went numb. I got mad at griffin cause i thought he was picking me up when really i had collapsed and he caught me haha. He sat me down and gave me water and put our ice water on my neck. I started to see again and then my hearing came back slowly. Lets just say once i felt better we decided we weren't going to make it up to the Y that day :) Sad thing is that the hike to the Y really isn't hard haha. Anyway next time we go i will have had plenty of water and plenty with me so there will be no more fainting episodes :)



Here we are at Miller Motor Sports in Toolle (spelling ?) when cassidy was asked to race these really fast cars! It was such a fun day except the part where it got really really really windy and we were covered in dirt by the time we left :)


Okay so i just love this picture of griffin i think he is so cute! That is his "i am having so much fun" smile!

Crunch

So as i was half asleep this morning laying in my bed waiting to get up and get ready for work i heard an odd crunching sound! I immediately jumped out of my bed and looked out my blinds to see my moms car pulling off of the front of my car. I was sick. I ran outside to find this. These pictures don't do it justice.  What a fun way to start my tuesday morning wouldn't you say?
