paintballing

We took a group of friends Paintballing at an indoor arena in SLC. It was painfully fun. I was so proud of all the wives for hanging in there even afer the sting of being shot. Dave and I have moved into an amazing ward full of so many fun and adventurous young couples. We are excited for all the fun things we've been planning to do together and have really enjoyed all the fun things we have had a chance to do with them allready. Life just wouldn't be as fun without any friends. 

Our Afternoon at the BYU Pond

The family of turtles.

Sarah thought if she waited long enough the ducks would start to like her and let her pet them. 

But.....they still quacked at her! 

Our day at the pond we decided to get our hearts pumping and make it to the top of the BYU stairs.

Sam would wear this shirt everyday if I let him. He really is the best big brother, always looking out for them and teaching them all the fun facts he has stored in his mind!

Mary's favorite spot to wait for Sam and Sarah to get out of school. She jumps out and says boo everyday and then rolls on the grass laughing...thinking she has scared them good every time.

Mary and her best friend Cowie tree climbing. They have a special relationship those two. Cowie has a magic power...if you hug him tight enough he will send his hug to mom and she can feel her hugs!

We made it to the top finally...."and now we have healthy heart" -Mary'.

The duck pond was lots of fun. We read books to eachother, fed the ducks, played with bubbles and had relay races around the grass. 

These kids ROCK my socks!

Festival Of Colors

2009

Dave and I went to the festival of colors in Spanish Fork, Utah. There were thousands of BYU students there and a few followers of Hari Krishna. The story I heard over the crowd was that this man would cover his followers in many colors so they looked all the same and then he would wipe them clean. They had a rock band and ethnic dancers and made a huge fire...Then on the count of three everyone threw their colored flour into the air, like thousands of poofs at once. And when the flour settled everyone was covered in multiple colors. Dave and I stayed up on the temple terrace so we stayed clean. Afterwards we walked around the temple grounds and pet all the fun animals they have. We will definately be going next year.
