Oregon and some other stuff

For Kelly's fall break we were able to go to Seaside, OR with his family and stay in their beach house. Usually October is pretty cold there with lots of rain so I was looking forward to cuddling up in big sweaters and comfy clothes. Lucky for us the weather was beautiful and pretty hot which was great.

 Hershal Loved the beach

We did a lot of walking and playing on the beach. Most mornings Kelly went crabbing with his brother, Dad and cousins. It wasn't a successful year for crabbing...

 One of the days we had Kelly's youngest sister take some pictures for us  so we can have some nice pictures besides our wedding and engagement pictures. We of course ending up doing it on the windiest day but they still turned out really good.

Having a little vacation was really nice since we didn't get to do too much in the summer. Kelly's school schedule is really intense and were both trying to work a lot and save money for our baby due in April.

About a month ago Kelly asked me to take the weekend of my birthday off so we could go some where. He told me nothing else and I loved it. I love surprises.

The morning of my birthday he woke me up early before he headed to school and I walked down stairs to a room full of presents and things for the weekend.

A tent, a 2 person sleeping bag ( which ive wanted forever) some 5.10 hiking shoes, a cannondale hybrid mountain bike and a bosu ball.

He told me we were going to Moab for the weekend to try out all my new stuff and that afternoon we headed out.

My brother  suggested camping at Kens Lake a little south of Moab and it was great.

 There was a waterfall right by the camp ground which was nice because it was hot.The first night we stopped at a store to pick up a few things we forgot and then went to set up camp. It took us a little bit to figure out the tent, tents can be so frustrating the first time you set them up.
Then Kelly explored the area up by the waterfall and found a goat playing in the water.He related the goat to this

picture the goat doing this

 Then we headed into town to eat at a pizza place for dinner suggested by locals. It was SO good.

The next day we headed to a bike trail suggested by a local as an easier ride and it was horrible. Deep sand that I couldnt even ride in.

 We walked about a mile before deciding to turn around. We then tried out the bar  M trail and we were having a lot of fun until 1/2 mile in Kelly got a flat tire. 

He was not happy.

 By that time  I  really just thought it was funny since our day was not going as planned. We walked back, drove to a bike store to get his bike fixed and then decided to play in the water by our camp. First we tried sliding in the rocks right by our camp.

fail.

Then we collected rocks to dam off the water and make a pool. It reminded me of being little and doing this with my siblings.

We then went up to the bigger waterfall and hiked around.

 Found  the goat. Then played in the waterfall. It was a really fun day.

The next day we drove to Dead Horse State Park to try out their mountain bike trails.

They were so fun and the perfect level for meThere were some hard parts that I had to walk but it was great and the views were amazing. It was probably the highlight of our trip.

That one sunday

We really haven't been up to anything lately and haven't had any thing exciting to blog about or really want to remember. Just normal day to day life like Kelly's never ending home work, and normal work ..

and going to church on Sunday...

where Kelly steals my phone

 and takes a picture of me making a horrible face on snap chat 

and then proceeds to write

I have PMS on the picture

 and send it to half my snap chat people

mmmk 

so I take his picture and write one of my favorite lines from the movie
Just Visiting

where Andre answers the phone

and for some strange reason Kelly doesn't like the idea of me sending this out 

so for 5 minutes after sacrament while parents are taking their kids to primary 

and the older people are talking or 

rearranging chairs

Kelly is tickling/slightly molesting me/wrestling my phone from me 

because he does not want that picture to be sent

while we both are laughing hysterically without making a sound 

because its church and you learn when you are little that

 being quiet =being reverent in church

and in the end I hide my phone in my skirt  I send it

but only to my sisters who get the movie and we always quote the lines

so it wasn't really a big deal

&

 in case you want to watch my sister rock at aerial silks here is an awesome video of her

Oh and we might be going to California next week to give Kelly a much needed wonderful spring break

& 

a wedding

& 

I'm hoping if I keep sending Kelly pictures like this 

he will have the great idea that we should go to Disneyland

because I love that place and the only reason Kelly doesn't is because he has never been with me.
