Feeling 22

 Yesterday was my 22nd Birthday and it was AMAZING!!! I have the best husband ever!

He told me that he was going to do a half day at work. So he got up and left. My back was hurting me so I got up to eat breakfast. Just as I was about to start eating the door to the garage opened and scared me so bad I jumped!! It was Chris and he had flowers! He was planning on surprising me and making me breakfast in bed. But I ruined it.  I didn't care I was just happy he didn't go work :)

 

 

 

 

Than we went to the Hogle Zoo!!! I love the zoo! I know that most people the zoo is not where they would want to spend their 22nd birthday but I LOVED it! I love animals!!!

I LOVE this picture!!!

After the zoo we went to Panda Express for Lunch. I love Panda!!! than we went to go look at a beareded dragon. That is what Chris is getting me for my birthday, but the tank was to small. So sometime this week I will be getting one :)

Than we went up Bountiful Canyon and had a fire with friends! I was so happy that so many people came! Everyone one says once you are married you are dead. I think Chris and I are doing a good job at not being dead

 It was a GREAT Birthday!! Thank you everyone for making it a great day :)

Some families go out to eat together, Mine goes off-roading

    I have grown up going Jeeping with my family. So no surprise that I married a man who loves going off-roading. He doesn't own a jeep (sadly) but he does have a sweet truck.




We where planning on going to the Three Lakes that are behind Francis Peak but there was a big pile of snow on the road.  So of course Chris had to try to drive over it even though he knew he couldn't.






 Since we couldn't go to the Three Lakes we turned around and found a different trail to take. The one that Chris choose to take was a trail made for Quades. It was tiny for his big truck. We had to pull trees out of the way just to get though. Also there where a couple of times  where only two tires where on the ground.

It was crazy!

 This is Chris' story of this picture:

 "I was driving along on this freakishly overgrown, narrow trail and am about 20 feet from the exit when nature lashes out in an attempt to kill me. Or maim. I had my window down and this sharp branch launched into the cab just missing my head. I literally didn't move until I had Erica snap a photo. That was a near miss. Or maybe I mean a 'near hit.' Whatever, still breathing."

 

We had a lot fun!! But we always do when we go off-roading. This year Farmington Canyon is open again so we going to be going a lot more :)

Summer Solstice

      For the longest day of the year I went rock climbing with Chris, Brad and McKenzie. It was a blast!! We went to a place in Bountiful Canyon. It was beautiful.

 Everyone was a lot better at climbing this wall than I was. I think it was because I was the shortest, and the least experienced.

It took a while to find this wall. Brad had climbed it before but did not know how to get there.  After looking around a while we decided to walk up this road that was gated off to vehicles. The rock is about 1/3mile up that road. Last time Brad went there he drove up to the rock, so that is why it was hard to find.

It is right next to a stream is it makes talking to each other a little difficult especially if you are the one climbing.

Although I am not the best at rock climbing I love doing it and I love going so that I can get better!

Cabin

Over Memorial Weekend we went up to to Grandma Wiggins cabin. We helped rip up part of the deck. They get a lot of snow up in Oakley and it falls off the roof onto that part of the deck. It was old and rotten and not safe to walk on.

Chris and I left after church ( which was our last week in this ward since we are moving into my in-laws home while they are on a mission) on Sunday. We got there about 6 pm and we went exploring for a little while and than has a yummy BBQ dinner.

Monday we got early and worked all day. We tore up the deck( I didn't get any pics of that because I was to busy working) and worked on some bridges that go over the stream to the fire pit. Oh, we took a break and shot BB guns for a while. But It was fun going to the cabin and working :)

 Haha I have no idea what Chris is doing in this picture.

 Tedd and Sue are the ones the primary help grandma with the cabin. But Chris and I love to help when we can

We shoot the BB guns at cans on the fence. I shot all of them before Chris did!!
