Flaming Gorge (pronounced Hor-Hay)

We had such a fun before school trip to Flaming Gorge!

The first day it poured rain and was freezing cold - so we went to the local restaurant and ordered HOT COCOA!!! (yep, in August)The next day the sky was 'abundantly clear', so we went river rafting

And somehow I managed to fall down these rocks:

While on the boat, we had the coldest water fight ever and dunked all three members of our bishopric, and watched Bro. Dibblee being DRAGGED out of the water...

Then we went boating on this lovely...

And although I faceplanted a million times and swallowed half the lake, Nick rocked all our socks off...
We ate yummy food cooked by Tanner and Nick... (can't believe we didn't all die)
And saw lots of pretty scenery
Flaming Gorge: You're just what I needed.

One happy boy

We may have skipped out on the last half of church for Nick to go drool over a bunch of bikers this weekend. The Tour of Utah, known as America's toughest stage race, is not for the faint of heart. The race is 311 total miles with 26,500 feet of climbing. You'll get there one day sweetheart...

Congrats to our own Utah native - Levi Leipheimer for winning it!

Birthday festivities!

I LOVE my birthday! I of course had my camera with me the whole time, but failed to take any pictures! What was I thinking?! I was having too much fun! Nick took me to get a pedicure (he even got one too - I couldn't believe it!) I told him I had girlfriends that get pedicures with me and he didn't have to, but I think he secretly wanted to know what they were like since I get them quite often and love them! (I'm not sure he loved it that much) Then we headed to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Surprise - he had a bunch of my friends there for a surprise dinner! It was so wonderful! He's getting better at planning fun things! It was a very happy birthday!

Since Ashley and I have close birthdays, we celebrated last week by going up the canyon and making tin-foil dinners, smores, and doughboys. YUMMY!

Look at that baby belly! I can't wait 'til Baby Holm is here!

Nick and I - awkwardly posed as always (refer to my previous post for an explanation)

Typical...

Me: annoying and 'naggy'

Nick: doing his best to put up with it


Me: totally awkward
Nick: totally awkward

Together: a perfect match - if that's what you would call it.
