Let's Run!

Good job everyone! this was a family event and i was the slowest- but that's ok- I beat my bear lake time by 15 minutes!! i couldn't believe the timer when I saw it because truth be known, it ain't as easy as it looks. :) it could've been worse- we had about three ambulances and we didn't know if one guy would make it (i hope he's ok!)

no pictures please! i let him take a far away one - you can kind of see my bright yellow bottom if you look closely.

Braden was more excited about these moosen than anything else . . . it is pretty cool I guess.

:)
look at all of us! there were soo many people! i decided Logan as the most in shape people ever, i was intimated to say the least, but at the end of the day you're just grateful you crossed the finish line!
thanks family for all your support! couldn't have done it without you!

POolside

Have you had the chance to soak up the sun this summer??

it is sad to see fall creeping in . . . was it just me or was this season a little bit of a rip off?
:)
oh well, there's always next year . . . and the Caribbean Cruise we plan on taking to survive winter.
(more like the pretend trip we talk about but never go on, but it keeps us sane.)

this was a good summer because . . .
we went on alot of bike rides
relaxed at the pool
ate lots of s'mores and roasted starbursts
started exercising again
no school
no sprinkler system to put in
uhhhhh

okay that list didn't really help-here's to next year!!

Weekend Picumentory

We LIVE for the weekends! Our lives consist of routines, 9 to 5, half hour lunch breaks, half hearted workouts, texting I love you, I miss you, I can't wait for this day to be Over!, dinner at 8:45, Conan O'Brian, King of Queens, prayer, bed by 11, sleep by midnight, and over again the next day.

But the weekends are something far from hum-drum. we accomplish things, we get to know each other again, we socialize, we sleep in, we play and play some more. Aren't they just wonderful?

Hope you had a great weekend! {PS I do recommend this movie, but not at 9:40 at night when your heat striken and tired. I loved Julia Child- hilarious. I may go so far and make her own hollandaise sauce this week, yummy!}

Pic OF the Day

{ isn't she funny?}

this picture as not been digitally enhanced

Check out this beauty! I know, it's nothing new. But it is for me! We saw this picture and Braden was like, "Savannah, it's not really that blue, they must've digitally enhanced it." Honestly I can't wait to find out and swim in this breath-taking pool of Kool-Aid.

{ We aren't going until September, but I just booked reservations and I am giddy!! Finally a vacation!}

Even though it will be one of the vacations where you come home and you need a vacation from the vacation, we are excited for an adventure! I need to get some TEVAS! You can't fake granola without TEVAS!

{oops, I guess I mean Chacos! I need some Chacos!}

Dear husband

{thank you} for being so nice to me.
{thank you }for saying I look pretty in the morning.

i can't tell you how nice it is to have someone who
loves me for me. i would always wish that someone
would come along who by some miracle thought
i was the prettiest girl. that's how you treat me everyday.
it has done wonders for my self esteem.

today was a hard day. i felt bad about myself for most of the day.
and then i remember that i have a really cute, handsome boy at home
that thinks i'm cute too.
{thank you}.

i love you.

Cache Valley

I felt like we were hosts on that show diners, drive ins, and dives this weekend. Truly, we tried some questionable looking eating outs. This one . . .

Brigham City, an child hood favorite of Braden's, and it was so worth the 40 minute drive.
Double battered fries, charbroiled hamburgers the size of my head, and one smack-i-licious raspberry shake. The only thing missing was the roller skates.

I really loved the ambiance of this old place. It really takes you back to a different time. A simpler time.and it was yummy.

Here's another one, this one was a dive. On the outside, it is GHE-TTO. but if you're in Logan, and you love sushi, Happy Sushi is it. It's the closest thing we have to the posh Happy Sumo, and we don't mind. It's pretty dang fantastic . . .

The crunchy shrimp roll was amaZing. It was fried with sweet coconut and wrapped in, well you know, rice and stuff. Braden and I were totally fighting over the whole time- and he always shares!!

And the scenery in Cache never fails. So perfect. Gorgeous at every turn. We enjoyed this picture on our way through sardine canyon on Friday. The camera doesn't do it justice.

Oh, and I was there too. I have reduced to self portrait taking just to feel included :)
Hope you all had a Great 24th!! Yay Pioneers!
