My cousin told me about these two guys, Michael Henry and Justin Robinett. They are so amazing, I had to share.

A Small Tribute

I don't know if this news has made it to the national level but tragedy has struck the Spanish Fork area. Last Saturday night 3 girls, Savannah and Kelsea Webster, and Essa Ricker 13, 15, and 15, were hit by a train up Spanish Fork Canyon. Kelsea and Essa died instantly, while Savannah was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Savannah died last Tuesday. It has been a hard time for many people in our community, especially the families of these girls. They will be greatly missed.

2011 Update

Okay, I'm sorry that I'm really bad at updating my blog. I do have a legit excuse though. I have been at school for the last 7 months in Idaho. I was so busy with classes and research and papers. These last couple of semesters have just been nuts! But I have been having a lot of fun too. There have been a few adventures and I'll catch up on them. So.....here it goes.

Before I left for school this year, I went with my dad, Hunter, Emily, and two of Hunters friends to the Canyons resort for a snowboarding trip. I was SO sore after that. I'm not really a snowboarder or a skier, I usually stick to hockey but I thought it would be a good time to try it again after the disaster trip I had when I was 8 years old or so. The family took a lesson and I got so frustrated that I told the instructor to shut up and get away from me. Yeah...not exactly my finest moment. This trip was a lot better as far as attitudes were concerned. It was still hard though. I fell a lot but by the 3rd run, I was starting to get it. It also makes it hard that I board goofy instead of regular which is what everyone else boards. I always had to sit funny on the lift so my board didn't kill anyone that was on the lift with me.I would definitely go again! It was really fun!



These are some pictures from the 4th of July trip to Wyoming. So much fun! I was at school at the time so I had to meet up with my family at my aunt's house. Thankfully it was only an hour and a half drive for me which is really nice. We did so much stuff! A parade, horseback riding, rodeo, fourwheelers...I had an absolute blast!! Especially at the end of the semester, it was a great way to just relax before final test and papers were due.






This was my most recent adventure. I was able to go with Nicole, Jonica, and Katie from my team way up the canyon in American Fork to go "true" camping at Pittsburg Lake. We pretty much went off-roading to get to the trail head where we parked the car. Then we hiked 1500 feet up a mountain in a mile and a half, each of us being weighed down by 30-50 lb packs on our backs. And let me tell you, that was a freakin' steep climb!! We were all the way up by the snow line. We can now say that we went swimming and built a snowman in the same day. Pretty cool huh? I thought so. So these are some of the pictures from that trip. It was so fun! And I'm thinking dry-land training for the team...anyone? Anyone? Haha!









I know this looks like a strange picture but Jonica decided to stretch a little bit and didn't realize that Nicole was going to take a picture. I just decided to go with it.





I can't believe that so much has happened over the last year. Time has just flown by! I just need to go find some more adventures now!

BYU-Idaho 20th Ward

This video is probably the greatest thing ever! Thanks to Sam Humpherys, the beginning is completely epic! His move is called "Spreading the Sheets". Awesome!

Wyoming Trip

Well, we are coming to the end of the semester. Finals week is here and we have to be moved out of our apartments by Saturday. There is so much to do and the stress has set in. Me, Natalia and Kellie thought that it would be fun to take a trip before finals started. Last weekend, we all piled in the car and drove to Afton, Wyoming to stay with my aunt Lisa and her family. We had so much fun! Friday night we went and got Mexican food at Juan's and went and saw Toy Story 3. It was so funny!! We also rode the horses and went bridge jumping at Gover Bridge. The water was freezing, and Natalia is terrified of heights but we had a blast doing it!! All of this plus a nasty sunburn on my arms but totally worth it! Here are some pictures that we took while we were there.

Don't do it Natalia!!

Kellie and Natalia, so cute!

Sorro was such a good horse. We rode for a few hours, it was really cool!

It was funny watching Natalia (5'1") get up on that horse! Love ya girl!

Probably the most redneck thing that you can do in Wyoming but so fun!

Our little Russian druggy...hahaha! Mascara will get you every time.

That water was sooooo COLD!!

Natalia, Me, and Kellie!

Wow! That was such a fun trip and I'm happy that I could spend it with Kellie and Natalia! They are such amazing friends and I'll miss them A LOT when I go back to Utah. But, no worries, we will be roommates in the winter semester when I get back! Yay!
Thanks a lot sistas! You have made my semester so much more enjoyable!

Sand Dune Jumping

For FHE, our whole ward took a trip out to the sand dunes for BBQ, bonfire, and games. We had a blast!! I made some new friends and I've been converted to sand dune jumping...it has changed my life! Here are some pictures from it.

Me and Natalia, chillin' on the car, waiting for the rest of the ward to get there.

This was our "Boy Band" picture. Kellie, Me and Natalia.

Making the leap of faith.

All of the girls laid down and the guys jumped over us. Scary!! Those guys can get pretty high and really far.

Me and Natalia after the landing...Natalia almost took a tumble down the rest of the dune.

I look like I'm riding a sand wave...pretty cool!

This was so fun!! We are pretty sure that we are going to go back a couple of times before the semester is over (possibly with a date?). Good friends, good times.
