The case of the Dog accident

Memorial day… a day to remember those who have passed on… and the dumb dog that put a HUGE dent in the side of my car.

Most people don’t get hit by a dog, it’s usually visa-versa. But in this case I swear, it hit me.

Sunday afternoon, I was driving in my own neighborhood, around 10 miles an hour listening to fm 100’s awesome Sunday sounds. A woman is walking with a dog. Next thing I know I hear a bash on the drivers side of my car. Of course I slam on the breaks, and scream simultaneously. The dog kept on walking like it was fine.

I get out of the car to make sure he is ok. He could care less. Now there is a mongo dent in the side of my door and this runaway dog and his owner don’t give a woof!

Camper World

We had a great weekend Camping with our friends in Coalville. It was a much needed vacation. Kyle and I put all of our stuff in one small duffle, and then we took enough camping stuff to fill a truck.

Here are all of the couples ready and loaded!

Each couple took turns making meals. Kyle and I had dinner the first night. We figured that we would get there late and wouldn't want to hastle with dutchovens, so we did tin-foil dinners, or more commonly known hobo dinners.

Don't worry I cut and peeled 10 pounds of potatoes so we had plenty. After putting them in the fire, the only problem was turning them and getting them out. The boys made this into a game and used 2x4s as "chopsticks" to retrieve our dinners from the flames.



After a lot of fire and loud laughing we hit the sacks (by the way Amanda's was no where to be found. I am sure that it flew out of the truck. No one believes me)



Ky and I slept quite well. Although we did wake up at 6. After some great breakfast we played this fun game, forgot what it was called C--- something. Well the point of the game is to knock over the opponents blocks with dowels that are thrown, without hitting the middle pin "the KING PIN"

So fun. We finally started getting the hang of it, but never won. Kyle made fun of me for cheering the other team on.


Now we camped at Camper World. They had a pool and we HAD to take advantage of it. Doesn't ky look great!?!? I took this while he was explaing to the others that I was making him wait until his sunscreen dried before he could get into the pool.




Oh, sad the end of our trip, us by the waterfall.

Pregnagnt Linds

Ky and I were so excited to be able to visit with our Friends Tiki and Ry. Their house was so cute! And I wanted their baby room. Don't need one though.

When we arrived we got a surprise. Our other friends Barb and Curtis were there. I had a great time with the girls doing nothing more than a little needed girl talk time and the boys somehow entertainied themselves with the xbox.

Love seeing our friends. Reminds me of how great they are.



Here we are! Can't believe that people think us three girls look like triplets.

Big house, fun job

Kyle and I got called up by another family to watch their children. This family was so kind to us even though they were loaded!

Big house. 11 bed 8 bath, and i'm not going to lie... I got lost in the basement! They had a sports court and a rock climbing wall!






Enough about the house. As cool as that was the boys were 10 x's cooler. We had so much fun playing a 4 hour game of risk, many many games of settlers, serious basketball, climbing, follow the judge and making a boat to send down the river in their back yard.


One of the boys, me and our recyclable unsinkable ship!



Ky and I waiting in the freezing cold river.... we had to catch it!


We all jumped on the neighbors ground level trampoline. Mitch and I left to make our ship... and these clowns broke the tramp to rescue a dumb bird that can fly and didn't need rescuing. These boys needed help. after taking off all of the springs it still bent. I went over stepped on it and it was fixed!

This is the creepy talking alarm. If any door in the house opens it tells you! Creepy!

I tried to show ky up but unfortunately i could barely do this!

We actually fell in love with this family Hope that they liked us. The boys didn't want us to leave!

The beginning of our Modeling Career

One day my cute aunt Cindy had a birthday party. We went and so did some of her friends, it was a normal gathering. Later we were told by Cindy that whenever she talks about us to her friends, or if they talk about us they refer to us as the MODEL COUPLE



So we decided to prove them right by modeling. Last night we modeled for a photographer that works for a really big company. She took more pictures of kyle and I, than my dad took when I was in the school play. Really. I hope that they turn out good. It rained a little and then the wind went nuts so my hair was what someone named Leslie would call "beach hair" (salt water, wind and sunscreen... you get the idea) but it worked.... I hope. So if we become models one day, we have aunt cindy's birthday friends to thank.







Here is a photo of the Ky and I down at temple square. The color is wacky. But so are his wind blown red eyes!

Lets see

There is so much to talk about. We have just been having the BEST life ever. But to start it all off we have some exciting news. And no we are not expecting. My wonderful, intelligent Husband just was added to the U's Dean list. Unfortunately he, at first, didn't know what the Dean's list was. After I explained that it was similar to the high honor roll, he was very pleased.

He had a really tough load if you ask me and he did well (even with my distractions and nagging)

Also I, Amanda just got hired on at ABC 4 I am so so so excited to join an award winning team of talented journalists and quality people. (My mispelled blog with incorrect grammer is not a reflection of my writing skills. only a reflection of the universal dislike of laptop computer keyboards and my distractive and hilarious husband)

Although we are not expecting ourselves, we can say that 2 of kyles 3 brothers are and we are so excited to have a little niece and nephew. I better start quilting, or buying diapers.

We might live in the worlds most crowded room right now, but we are working toward eternity!
