i went hiking?

if you know me at all, you know that i am not the most athletic/outdoorsy person. the last time i went hiking was my freshman year of college (just over 2 years ago) and we hiked the y, how precious and lame all at the same time. anyway, on saturday i went hiking with a fun little group of people and it was actually pretty jazzy. it wasn't too incredibly difficult and though my entire body is sore now, it was an overall pleasant experience. we hiked up to stewart falls and it was gorgeous, it kind of made me want to spend more time outdoors. who knows, maybe it won't take me two years to go hiking again.

we actually took like 800 pictures, but i have this really rare talent of ruining pictures and this was the best one. just one of my many wonderful traits.

ugh

so last sunday my whole family (except my sister, eryn, who lives in ny) got together at my grandparents' house to celebrate father's day. my parents, little brother and sister's family all drove over from colorado. guess who deleted all the pictures...that's right, it was me. i had all these precious pictures of my family, the family i never get to see. how lame. i did however take some pictures with my 35mm and had them put onto a disc, but my piece of crap computer can't read it and now i can't post those either. this is just not my day. as stacy would say, "oh life."

croquet anyone?

last night we had a bbq for our ward family home evening activity and it was a lot of fun. we played croquet and volleyball, then ate burgers and hot dogs. i actually wasn't too hungry, so i just ate pickles-- surprise, surprise.

how embarrassing...jen and courtney wore the same outfit.

awkwardly posing, i mean playing, with the croquet set.

my babies

i go over to my sister's house every sunday for dinner and a couple of weeks ago i was playing outside with afton and grayson and we took some pretty precious pictures.

these two are some of the most hilarious kids you will ever meet.

"i'm king!"

i love it when she makes this face.

how can you not fall in love with this sweet little man?

this one's a gem. i hope she never loses the space in between her teeth, too cute.

afton just had so much fun with her aunt paigey that she passed out on the couch.
