Tubing Down Old Main

This will be a short post, but I just wanted to tell everyone about my hilarious husband. USU is on the top of a steep hill, and the steepest part is right below Old Main (the building) thus it is called "Old Main Hill". We decided to tube down this today. So we found a tube, and headed up there. As we're walking to hill Zac runs and dives forward with the tube. He was a couple yards in front of me so I couldn't quite see what happened, but I heard a big POP. As I got to the edge of the hill and looked down, I saw my wonderful hubby on his knees. As he looked up he said in the sweetest, most innocent voice, "It popped." HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I was laughing so hard it made me cry! It was a good thing I had gone to the bathroom before we left, or I may have peed my pants. Although the tube popped on the first run, we made the best of it. We just sat on the popped tube and sled down the hill. Turns out you can still get going pretty fast, with or without air. :) All in all, it was a fabulous adventure. And I love Zac, he makes me laugh so hard!

Snowmobiles!

Thursday held wonderous snow mobiling adventures. We went up Farmington Canyon with Keaton and Jen. It was freezing and at some points, down right uncomfortable, but overall, it was a good time! So after a few adjustments to the sleds we headead on up. The snow was amazing. By the time we hit the top there was probably 4 feet of pure, untouched, powder.

So of course, once we made it up to the top, the boy played around for a little bit and then they hopped off and let the girls have a try. (Bad Idea) Well actually, Jenny did just fine. :) It was, of course, me who had the trouble. What can you expect in 4 feet of powder. How was I NOT supposed to get stuck? So I was stuck and Jen had to go back and get my wonderful, STRONG, husband to pull me out of the snow. Luckily, I wasn't the only one who had trouble with the depth of the snow. First it was Keaton, then it was Zac. :)

That's Jenny in the red jacket. She was trying to help, but couldn't quite make it through the deep snow.The boys to the sleds and did all they could to conquer this fresh mountain. Zac was speeding up the mountain and turning around. He had his whole body standing on one side of the sled when something made him slow down for a second and then speed up again, throwing him off the sled. The snow mobile kept going. Zac was on his feet in a fraction of a second, running full speed down the mountain in an attempt to catch the sled. His top half began going faster than his feet and there was nothing he could do. Straight down into the snow he went. But he did it so gracefully, he tucked and rolled and faster than I could blink he was on his feet and gaining on the sled! He lunged for the back of it and managed to grab the back bar. The snow mobile dragged him a little ways until he pulled himself up and grabbed the brake. My hero! Anyways, this picture is the result of his adventure. :) Here are just a few more pics.

Zac and Me, (before I sunk the sled).

I just couldn't resist putting this on here. This is a totally legite picture. Jen was trying her hardest to free herself from the snow. HAHAHA!! I don't think she even knew I took it. That girl cracks me up. Loves Jen!

So Smart!

Zac and I are SO smart! Haha. This semester is over, thank goodness, and we are so excited. The semester was fun and then there were times that all I wanted to do was punch my stupid professor in the head, but all in all, we both came out of it with pretty good grades. :) We are excited for Christmas and mostly to have a little break from school. And I am so excited to go home for Christmas. Fun Fun!

More Scooter Adventures

Well here is the good ol' scoot scoot. Once again the faithful little thing got us part way up the canyon, until we found a fun turn off to take a little nature walk.

It was freezing, so I made sure to bundle up, not matter how goofy I may have looked. All I know, is that I was toasty warm even when we were doing 40 miles an hour against the wind.

The walk proved to be beautiful. The Logan area is full of beautiful sites, and trails.

Artistic Abilities

Happy Halloween time! Carving pumpkins with T.J. and Mikall was a blast. Too bad it turns out that my pumpkin carving abilities will always fall into the plain, simple and classic category. And Zac will ALWAYS go above and beyond in everything artistic. That's why I love him!

Ice Skating

We went Ice Skating at a local rink in Logan. We had tons of fun, it was only my second time going and it was much better when I had a lovely husband to try and teach me to skate backwards. Still not so good at it, but better.

The Wonderful Times Before There Was School

We love the scooter! We have used it just as much as we possibly could before it got too cold. We took a little drive up the canyon and it was freezing, but we stopped at the second dam and took a little looksy! Todd was with us, it was a good time, then the boys played a little frisbee on the quad at USU. Good times. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Harvesting in the Parking Lot

Wow! It has been so long since I've done this and everyone is so mad. I am so very sorry. Well there are tons of things to talk about, so I guess I'll just keep posting till I get bored.
So just a little while after I stopped blogging, Zac and I were going to Best Buy to look around and whatever else we felt inclined to do. As we pull into the parking lot we see a whole family of Hispanic descent picking crab apples from the little trees that have been planted to make the parking lot look appealing. Crab apples are little and do not in any way taste good. The church that I grew up next to had crab apple trees and we used to climb them and pretend the bitter fruit was good, when in reality it was disgusting. Mostly the only thing crab apples were good for was to throw at eachother. They were hard as rocks and hurt like heck when they hit your skin. We are in no way raceist, (not even sure how to spell it) to be completely honest I would have laughed and still blogged about the story if the people were white, black, or even blue. (Although, if they were blue that might actually lead to a bigger and better blog topic.)

Fishin'

You and me goin' fishin' in the dark, lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars..

.. Ok, so it wasn't dark, and we definately did not lie on our backs.

Two days ago Zac comes home from work to inform me we're going fishing.. with Todd. Yay! Fun times come with Todd. So Zac packs up the scooters with all his fishing gear, and we scoot on out to the river. (By the way, Cache Valley has way better rivers than anything St. George could offer me. I felt like I could have been on the fishing channel.) Anyway, we're driving to this river and I begin to realize, it's REALLY far away. After a little off-roading we park it in some secret campground that seems to be hidden from the world. So we walk through the trees to the river and it is ICE cold. About half way across the river your feet go numb and then the rocks under your feet begin to feel more theraputic rather than painful. So here we are wading in this river.. for an hour. You would cast your line and wait.. nothing so as your reeling it in, the fish jumps out of the water, exactly where our line had just been. It was like he was teasing us! Freaking fish.

So the boys are fly fishing trying to catch these annoying jumper trout and Zac had me hold the regular fishing pole, so in an attempt to distract myself from the millions of bees we were surrounded by (there were seriously tons, and i'm allergic. Good combo, me and bees, miles and miles away from any hospital and our fastest form of transportation is a scooter) I cast my line, the more I practiced the better I got at it. (I hope the worm on the end was dead by now, otherwise I'm sure there would have been worm vomit everywhere from the amount he was getting thrown around.) One more cast, (by the way Zac told me to yank on the line if the little red and white ball went under the water, meaning I had a fish hooked, I guess) the boys were busy with their fly fishing, and suddenly something pulled on my line. I looked out and realized there was no red and white ball. I began reeling in the line when I realized I had no idea what I was doing.

Sarah: I got one!!
Zac: (focused on something to do with his rod) Don't make jokes, it's not funny.

Sarah: No I really got one!

Zac: Sarah, seriously.

Sarah: Zac! The ball went under the water!

Zac and Todd: (They both finally realize I'm telling the truth) Pull! Yank up on the rod!

So i did, and I reeled this little fishy in! Yay for me! I can fish now, I'm absolutely amazing. Ha!

In the end, I was the only one who caught a fish.. mostly out of luck. Not that it means much, cause turns out it was a trash fish. I think it was called Carp, or something of the sort. Basically Zac said it's like the dirty rat of fish. Gross.

Time & Eternity

August 8th, 2008 we were married for time and all eternity. Lets just say it was the happiest day of our lives. The day was perfect, with the exception of the blazing heat at 11:30 when we were supposed to stand outside the temple for an hour taking pictures with our family. Yes that was sweaty. Later, after the luncheon, the rain began pouring down, and by the time the reception started outside, it wasand overcast with no rain, no sun and the temperature wasn't half bad. Here are some pics taken before the hottest day ever, just in case the most wonderful day became the hottest, rainiest, most beautiful day. Good thing photographers plan ahead. :)

Last, but most definately not my least favorite.. Honestly, how could we leave out the sunglasses picture. It's so very.. us.

The reception turned out beautiful and was full of fun things! Everything was very relaxed which is just our style. Justin and Chris provided live entertainment, which was fantastic. Zac's dad Greg sang us a song and it was awesome. And to top it all off, after Zac pulled the garter off with his teeth and prepared to throw it in the huge group of his groomsmen, he turned and flung it into the pool, after which Todd and Randon, without hesitation, jumped in after it. It was priceless, especially seeing both of them, soaking wet in there black pants, white (see through) shirts, and red ties.
