Never Nudes defeat Ragnar
Because of my condition of something growing inside of me, (its been there now for about 24 weeks) I've had to take it easy for a while. Alas the "condition" has stopped me from participating in physical activities that I otherwise normally would have. Last month I took pictures while Luke and friends bungee jumped, this month I sat in a camping chair as a volunteer while Luke, family, friends took on the grueling Ragnar.

He likes a thrill
There is yet, another check on Luke's list of "Things to Do Before I Die". For his birthday I somewhat surprised Luke and set up a bungee jump in Idaho with friends and family.
My dream would have been to pack his bags and say something casual like, "Let go grab some lunch" and drive toward I-15 and say something like, "Lets go somewhere we've never gone, Matt told me about a great Indian place in the City" and drive like were going to SLC. Once we make it to SLC, I would continue driving and say something clever like, "Nah, lets be spontaneous lets go somewhere for the weekend". Soon it would be evident that we were actually going somewhere and I had it all planned out. We would show up at the campsite and all the friends would be there to greet us and cheer as we pulled up and Luke would throw his arms around me and say "Wow! This is the best birthday ever"!
About a week before this plan was put into full action. Luke and I had a lengthy discussion on how he doesn't like surprises, and in fact, informed me that most guys hate being surprised and that those things are all of the woman. So the surprise was a bust and I informed him that in about a week I had a bungee jump planned for his birthday. From my point of view, not as exciting.
Friday we set out for the exciting sites of I-DA-HO!! We stopped along the way at Shoshone Falls, which was amazing!!! Then to our lovely campsite held along the historic Oregon Trail in Glen's Ferry. On Saturday morning we ate at the local diner a hearty breakfast of hubcap sized hot cakes, bacon, eggs, hash browns, English muffins, and orange juice. We then drove to the bridge where the deed was going to be done. Glen's Ferry Bridge, about 165 ft above the Snake River. Miles was our gracious expert who helped everyone fit into their harnesses and then gave a brief instructional and then everyone, except me, climbed up underneath the bridge onto the catwalk. After about an hour of setting up the bungee they were set. I was stationed below with Kyah with a video camera and my SLR to capture the events. Everyone jumped gracefully and with no fear, I was very impressed. They enjoyed themselves so much, that almost everyone jumped twice.

The jumpers from L-R: Jason, Luke, Kassi, Jake, Lacy, Jason, Mark, Matt, Miles(the expert)
It was crazy to see them all dangling their legs over this skinny catwalk 165 ft above me.
Although I didn't get a picture, Luke's jump was a graceful swan dive.

spring photo shoot
I live vicariously through Sasha and her kids. I've always had this vision of pictures taken in the spring in a lush orchard that is full of blossoms. My Dad recently planted a small peach orchard and although the trees are still small, they served the purpose.

it's official, we're off to school
Well... not quite "off". After a year of preparation, applications, and interviews the school that has won our hearts is da, da-da-dah...
BYU
No, we're not off. We are staying put, for at least another two years. We are both a little hesitant to "convert" from the red side to blue, but it's seems that all signs point south.
GOOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!!!

This is the 6th picture in the 6th folder
Amy Jo and I on the North Shore hanging in the banyan tree. It was fun until we discovered it was infested with ants and we had them everywhere!

The Escape
I took way to many pictures, 163 to be exact. With my (somewhat) new camera in tow and my new-found knowledge from photography class, I took A LOT of pictures. Consequently, this blog is mostly pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words....
In no particular order:
The six of us enjoying our last hour at the beach by our house. Right after this picture we wished the sun goodbye and went home
On Valentines Tessa toasted "to love"
Luke doing the traditional backflip on the beach
While in Mexico Luke grew a mustachio; I made him model it
We took a ferry to Cozemel for a day and rented scooters to cruise around the island. Where is Preston you ask? He was obsessed with deep sea fishing and for two days in a row went fishing. He did end up catching a mackerel and mahi-mahi which he grilled for us that night and made delicious fish tacos.
While cruising on the scooters by chance we found this beach and snorkeled. By far, even compared to Hawaii, the best snorkeling I've ever done! A massive reef, perfect clarity, millions of fish; it was AMAZING!
It's official, we're dorks
Our house we rented for the week.
