YUBA!






I finally went to the lake!! I haven't been since last June...I went with Kaitlin and her family. It was blast! We left around 3:00 yesterday and got home about 10:30. It was the perfect time to go. I haven't been wake boarding for a while now but they said i did pretty dang good. I actually jumped a little so that was fun. Hopefully I'll go again soon to progress. Thanks Demille family for inviting me!!

Yellowstone!!!




This was my first Yellowstone experience!! It was so cool...we were able to go see Old Faithful. I have been wanting to go to Yellowstone forever and I finally went. We were only an hour away from where we were camping so we decided to take a little detour on the way home and go! I am glad we went. The water was 199 degrees! Well if you ask Jake it's 204 haha but that is dang hot! It would burn your skin right off...we also went to the hotel that was right next to it, i can't remember what it's called but it was a very old hotel and you can stay in it still!! Anyways...so after we were there for about and hour and a half we headed home. We drove the whole day. It took about 6 or 7 hours to get home. Me and Jake drove separate so we had good bonding times!! The middle picutre is a picture of one of the rooms at the hotel...we thought it was pretty sweet!

Lake Day!!







Saturday we spent the day at the lake!! I was very excited for that because the water is just so clear and pure, it's amazing. The boys all went on a bike ride and us girls went to the lake. Here are just some pictures of the day. Me, and JAkes two aunts Julie and Joni swam in the lake with wet suits. It took FOREVER to get those things on but we finally got them on and went for a swim. It was incredible! The boys got there eventually and we all had a good time!

Inspiration Mountain





We were hoping to get some inspiration on this mountain...but we didn't haha we had to hike .4 of a mile and it was all up hill. I was getting pretty tired by this time but i made it! All the little kids were hikin up it so i decided to whip it into shape and get up there. I lifted Jake off the ground in that middle picture! Nobody could believe it, usually he's the one picking me up!

Waterfall


We finally made it up to the waterfall! It was so pretty. The picture down below is of Jakes family that went. His parents, the twins and us! Jake and I are abovet...aren't we just so cute?! :)

Teton Mountains!



On the second day we went on a hike to a waterfall and hiked up to inspiration mountain. It was beautiful. The first picture is of me and Gracie before the hike! Gracie is Jakes cousin...she never leaves my sight :) i love her!! We had a lot of fun. She loves when Jake throws her up in the air. She gets pretty high. The third picture is of Me, Jake and Gracie on the boat ride to go hiking!

Jackson!!


Over the 24th of July weekend i went to Jackson with Jakes family for the Malan Family reunion (his moms side). It was SO much fun, it was beautiful!! If you have never been there you definitely need to go for sure. We arrived on Thursday the 24th unpacked and just relaxed. There was the most amazing lake there..Jake and I went there everyday and just watched the sunset, it was awesome! I want to go back again someday. We camped out for three whole nights!! There were signs all around that said "Be bear aware"! HA i thought i was going to get attacked by a bear, especially at night! We stayed in tents. Me, Jake, Jakes parents and the twins all slept in a tent. It was supposed to be a nine man tent but we could only fit six in it so i don't know how nine could ever fit in there! It was a blast!! This is a picture of the whole Malan family..there were like 40 of us! We hiked up to a waterfall...it was a tough hike but worth it!

AMERICAN IDOL!!










Me, my mom, and Kalei went to the American Idol Concert last night. IT WAS AMAZING!! The top 10 were there performing. It was one of the best concert i have been to. Here are just a few pictures. We were on the 39th row, it was pretty awesome! Everyone was screaming for David Archaleta. He did the best out of all of them! They all did really good though. Mike and Cyndi Jorgensen and there family went also, they got there tickets at ticketmaster. We got ours through EBay...out of all the seats in the whole Ecenter we sat RIGHT next to them. It was incredible, we couldn't believe it. I know you're all jelous :)

Seven Peaks and Park City!!







After the 4th of July was over Jakes whole family was home so we wanted to do something fun!! Josh and Maddi drove up from Richfield and met us at seven peaks! Wow was it so much fun...all of us together, it couldn't have been better. The wave pool wasn't working which i was upset about but that's ok! After seven peaks we headed up to Park City! I love it up there, it is so pretty. We went and did the alpine coaster and the zipline! It was one of the funnest weekends! Me, Jake, Maddi and Josh, Rhett and Katie all did the zipline. We had good bonding times, I don't think there was a dull moment. Rhett is Jakes younger brother, he is leaving to go on a mission tomorrow actually! He's going Africa..we are very excited and greatful for him. Katie is Rhetts friend that's a girl ha they are dating and she came with us. It was great being together, i'll never forget that weekend.

4th of July!!



Over the 4th of July Jake was able to come down to Richfield for the day. After the long parade and games at the park we were off to Provo to go to the Stadium of Fire!!! It was so fun....Miley Cirus was there, the Blue Man Group was there and some funny comedian who was the MC was there also. We had so much fun. You're probably wondering why we were wearing matching shirts haha his work (Monavie) gave them to us because they sponsored the stadium of fire. So we were lucky enough to wear those cool shirts and be matching! We sat on the grass down on the field and were really close. It was awesome! The fireworks were incredible! They are not as good on the camera but i got some pretty good shots. WE had a BLAST!!
