A Little Bit of Everything

Hey.

Sooo... here are some more pictures and videos from lately...

Bryce and his brother Travis

 Bryce's sister Aubree & her husband Karson got sealed [in the temple] aren't they a cute couple!? :]

Pictures from our trip to California...

{Classic plane picture... I'm posting this to remind myself how much I love land. We didn't have non-stop flights... and as we were flying into the Vegas airport, the plane thought it'd be hilarious to tilt to one side right before landing, but good thing the pilot corrected..... ....... no one clapped, and the pilot didn't come out after to say farewell to his weary passengers... poor guy.... kinda. I've never loved sitting in an airport more than I did that day. We had 2 hours in-between flights so we watched some netflix, woot! We met some interesting people... and while I'm on the plane topic... As we were getting ready to leave the Santa Ana airport, our pilot announced that we had a delay due to an accident that had just happened at San Francisco airport. We needed to wait to let passengers on that needed to change planes (our layover was in Oakland which is across the bay from S.F.) While we were waiting, we heard a bunch of people around us talking about what had happened at the S.F. airport. Poop= in the pants. (Not really, but you know how it is...) We were fortunate though to leave and eventually get home before we read about how serious the accident was in S.F. -----Before any of this happened, we were considering leaving a day or two later from California, but we're way glad we got home before everything was put on the news about the plane accident at the other airport. All I can say is... laaaand!!! [quote from "The Pacifier"...good movie]

 Awesome weather in CA

 Bryce's grandma's yard is full of gorgeous flowers, love these!

While in California, we went to the zoo with our sister-in-law Aarin and her and Aaron's kids Kody and Whitney. Whitney really does love macaws. Our favorites were the monkeys that were going crazzzzy with their paper bags.

Bryce the little chick and niece Whitney

We swam a bunch in Aunt Meri's pool... another California paradise backyard. For the 4th of July, we had a fun family BBQ and swam some more and had a big ol' party. {I didn't take very many pictures because it's not very fun to always have a camera in hand when fun things are happening, so yeah... here are a few that I did get.}

 [The guys went deep-sea fishing all day on the Friday we were there, and the girls decided to do some stuff around Orange. We got yummy breakfast and then we went to a museum that had cool stuff in it and we got ice cream at Thrify's, yay!]

While we were gone, the flowers that my sister Harmony sent me for my bday went from this.....

 to this.   Whaaaaat???

This post is getting kind of long, but guess what!!!?

We're buying a home! [It's been crazy, but fun. We're learning a lot...]

We hope you're all doing well! 

Love, Us. 

Lessons learned at the zoo

So the other day, we went to the zoo with Aeme and Jbz, it was fun and we learned some stuff.

Lesson  #1: Monkeys are the cutest zoo animal. (Biased? Yes.) They're even cute when they're sitting all sad-like or deep in thought like these two. 

(Alright, that wasn't really a lesson but oh well.)

 

Lesson #2: Polar bears move! Cool. 

Lesson #3: Who needs a house cat when you can have a sand-cat? This poor trapped cat was pacing back and forth in it's glass house. Yeah it's probably more aggressive than house-cats but it's cute...

#4: Yeah, I got nothin'. But that chimp is cute. It took him a while to pull that sheet off it's head.

(We took a little break from walking...)

#5: Giraffes are nicer than gorillas. 

#6: Don't look a gorilla in the eye, or take pictures of it, or even look at it. They're moody. [The "alphadog ape" at the Hogle zoo was sitting all calm, then the next second he was angrily standing up and charging at the glass ... towards us. He sat down for a minute to eat some cardboard and then ran back and forth in his cage to show how irritated he was.

 He's not very cool. We didn't get video of his angry breakdown... but it would scare the poohbear out of you, just like it did to us. Good times...] 

#7:  Dippin' Dots are amaaazing! 

P.S. Bryce is amazing! I love my sweet handsome husband! :]

Love, Us
