Impressive


What a great way to be as a newlywed, show your husband just how messy you can really be. We were given a hand created s'more package for one of my bridal showers and we decided it was perfect for dessert one night . . . except I got alittle bit too much into it and chocolate ended up getting all over my mouth. Kod thought that was pretty funny. It was sure good!!!

Sidewalk Fun

We are always trying to come up with creative dates that we can do. I am usually the one that comes up with the crazy ones. . . just ask Kody! But it just happened that someone came up with this fun idea for us. My sister, Amy, suggested that we do some sidewalk chalking. She also suggested that we draw pictures of one another. . . Well here is what we came up with.

There would be something wrong if Kody didn't have a gun in his hands right?! I also gave him a camo shirt for good measure, after all he always tells me that is his favorite color, and a hat on his head. And he drew me having a glass of milk in my hands with "Got Milk?" on my shirt. He also drew the ring on my finger and flip flops on my feet. How well we already know one another.

We had so much fun we just kept drawing. . .


and drawing. . .


and drawing. (Maybe alittle hop scotch as well. . . and Kody may have won. I thought I practiced more in Elementary but I guess just not enough)

We played in the park for alittle bit and talked of memories we had of when we were little kids. We remembered the old elementary playground and how they just don't make playgrounds like they use to. We talked for quite awhile about how much we loved that old playground and the memories of the pump swing and monkeybars. It was a really fun date and we even have more sidewalk chalk if we get a crazy bone in us again. If you ever find sidewalk chalk on your doorstep just know we love you and that we did have fun! Smile!!

Togetherness time!!

We wanted to get outside so bad so we thought hiking was the perfect thing to do on a weekend. This was one of the trails we found and figured why not. It was 5.8 miles one way, and on the way up was completely uphill. It was called Jardine Juniper trail. The tree was suppose to be something over 1,500 years old. It was sure an ugly tree, but it should have been for how old it was.

Oooo!! Aren't we a handsome couple! Ok, ok, so maybe this isn't the best we have ever looked but we sure felt good being in the outdoors. Being surrounded by the incredible creations of God seem to give you a whole new taste to life.

Although it was uphill the whole way and long for me, this was such a pretty hike! Beautiful scenery and I was glad because I could always say, wow look at how pretty it is, and that would allow me enough time to stop and take a break.
We hiked all of the way up here to see this!!!

When we got to the top I was so glad to take a break, eat something, and . . . just to sit down. The hike on the way down just seemed to take about half the time. I was a great trip and quite the exercise. I loved it!
