New Posts...Coming Soon!

We've gone on lots of fun adventures lately...so my next post is a rather large one and has taken me a while to put together and since I feel guilty for not blogging more frequently, I decided I'd share a little preview of whats to come! (...Lisa you can stop complaining now. haha)

Colorado Adventure.

Friday morning we decided to go to the BYU vs. Air Force Game on Saturday in Colorado Springs. It was really last minute, but was very fun and very worth it. Tyler served his mission in Colorado Springs and so did our friend Jeff so they had connections for a place to stay. It was a great, cheap trip! We took lots of pictures so be prepared for some serious picture overload.

Seeing a game at Air Force was really cool especially because it was September 11. They made it nice and patriotic. They flew in kids who were in the Pentagon day care that day and shared their story as well as 2 firefighters, one who lost 2 brothers (also firefighters). Both died when the towers collapsed. One in each tower. 

BYU played horribly & got smoked by Air Force, but we still had a good time.

This is on the drive back to Utah. The boys got burned really bad at the game, so they both had VERY red & shiny faces. It was really funny.

Colorado is absolutely beautiful & especially beautiful this time of year so we took a break and took these pics...

 

We had just got back in the car from our first stop and Tyler thought we should take this one particular exit...I protested, but thankfully Jeff listened to him and not me. We got off the exit and saw one of the prettiest places I think I have ever seen...gorgeous trees...beautiful lake...bridges...etc. So we took these fabulous pics! and then some...haha.

So Tyler decided he wanted to throw the leaves--not very like him. It was really funny cuz he wanted a picture of it, but since it was a yellow tree behind him and yellow leaves you can't see all the leaves flying in the air which made the picture pretty funny I thought.

 

The place was seriously beautiful, I don't think the pictures even do it justice.

Don't ask why we're standing like this, I set the timer and ran and the boys told me what to do. I didn't have time to think about it. lol.

Jeff had a little too much fun with the road signs.

This video I will warn you is a little dumb, it was way funnier at the time. One of those you had to be there moments. Tyler thought I was taking pictures not filming & he was pretty into his jumps.

 

Overall I loved Colorado, it was so fun to go and see where Tyler was for 2 years. It was also great to get away...although it was way too short. Yesterday we went over to Tyler's brother Russ's. He asked me if I liked it enough to live there...and there is very few places I could say that about outside of Utah, but Colorado Springs definitely could be one of them! It was so much fun & such a great place. 

The Sister Adventure

Friday Natalie and I decided we wanted to spend Saturday doing something super fun.

I came up with a great idea, since the weather HAS been so nice, it would be fun to go shopping up at Gateway. Yeah, HAS is the key word. Saturday was yucky, but we decided to go up anyway.

We didn't get quite the adventure we wanted, but we still had fun.

Even if our hair got ruined the second we bought our TRAX tickets.

Rain, Snow, and Hail didn't stop our fun.

TRAX was fun, because it was fun to relax and talk and not have to drive. Plus, we got some great entertainment from two cute little girls who were all dressed up in their princess dresses on their way to Disney on Ice.

We ate lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, which was kind of a disappointment.

I usually love the place, but we decided to try some pizza's we've never had before.

One of which, was really gross. And the second one, being just ok.

We couldn't pass up photo opp's at Forever XXI

It was pretty much an awesome day!
