Yesterday, Zach's brother Jeremy did his first mini-triathlon. He ran a 5k, biked 10 miles and swam a long ways...i dont know how far but he did awesome! Jeremy totally motivated me to do one next year sometime. I think that would be awesome. What an accomplishment! Congrats J-dogg!!!
Zach's family after the race
So my roommate Ali and I have wonderful shirts...my grandma gave me mine after a choir concert last month. Apparantly i love Hanna Montana and Ali loves Troy! Go HSM!
I just thought this was a cute picture of a sunday evening at my house with Zach reading stories to Avery and Zac.
Avery is such a cute little cheerleader
Here we are striking our pose in front of zach's house before visiting my family. He made me drive to brent's house because he was too uncomfortable in his suit that was like 10 sized too small for him. I'm surprised his pants didnt rip throughout the whole night.
Getting into character...
Cheryse and Zach had a pumpkin carving contest and Zach did is famous "throw-up" pumpkin face. He was really proud of himself. You can judge yourself to decide who's is better
Cheryse and I trying to be creative...I really put this picture up so you could see her husband in the background with his mustache and comb over hair and christmas sweater. I didnt even recognize him at first when he came to the door! so funny!
Zach's little brother plays on one of the Brighton Football teams so when I wake up in time to go to the games on saturday mornings it's always a fun little outing. Notice how i must have just barely woken up for this one and it probably started at like 10:00am.
My old roommate, Siri, got her mission call to Germany and leaves in November. Me, Siri, and Haley have sung together for years and I love every chance i get to see them! Congrats Siri, I'm so excited and happy for you!!! You will be a great missionary!
Zach and I got bored and wanted to go out and do something fun on a Saturday night so we went down to Gateway and walked around the shops. I'm still a little confused how he ended up getting two pairs of pants and a shirt and I left with nothing but ice cream...very unusual.
The Thomsens and Robinsons got together for a end of summer barbeque in our backyard on a sunday afternoon. It was long overdue and was so much fun to see everyone together again. I dont have a picture of everyone together...that would have been cool but here is one of me and baby Cameron at the barbeque before we started eating. isn't he so sweet and little!
One of THE most FUn nights!!! A bunch of us went to Classic Skating one weekend and played in all their blow up slides and obstacle courses and went skating afterwards. I totally felt like i was back in the 7th grade waiting for someone to ask me to skate with them for the "snowball". It was alot of fun, unfortunatley some of the guys were too big to play on the blow up stuff and almost tipped one over which would have been a really bad thing, but luckily that was an ALMOST occurance.
Have you ever wanted to stop and take a picture on the Sinclair Dinosaur on the corner of Highland Drive and Fort Union BlVD? well we did, so...here's proof.
This was the first cute girl i saw when i moved all my stuff back from school for 2 weeks and lived at home. My best friend in the whole wide world was so kind enough to take me on her sweet scooter for a ride! I want one of those now! Thanks Mick!
BEES GAME
My dad had a bunch of extra tickets to a baseball game, so he brought the whole Robinson, Thomsen and Taylor clan along for the party. It was really fun. we took up a pretty good size of seats and watched the little kids i think more than we actually watched the baseball game itself. Thanks dad!
"Weiner Wednesday!" hot dogs for only $1.00 rather than 3, so being the hungry giants zach and i are...we bought like 4 each person. My whole family gave me the strangest look when we both walked up the stairs with 4 hot dogs and a soda in each hand. Hey, they're really good and not that filling so why not stock up?
Lexi's obviously really intent on watching the game!
Here's the two trouble making Zachary's. 'Zac with an H' on the left and 'ZAC' on the right.
TUACHAN
Being the musical theatre fan that i am, I got to see Les Miserables with my family on our vacation to St. George. We got there way early than expected and took some pictures to channel our anxiousness.
So precious...
I think we wore out Owen and Zach on the trip...thats okay, this picture is definately worth it!
Go MOM!!!
She loves her grandkids with all her heart and would do anything to make them happy. (sorry i dont have a picture of all 4 of them...i'm not the photographer in the family)
She's my number one fan and supporter in anything i want to do!
She appreciates the wonderful art BYU has to offer...or is willing to take a random picture with me of it(:
She takes random trips to St. George just to be with me...and watch 90 year old ladies tap dance at Tuachan!
WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL DAY!
Then we hung out at the pool with some of Jill's friends. Lexi was so sweet and we played Motorboat and Ring around the Rosies in the pool. She is such a little fish and i love watching her run around in her cute little swimsuits with matching bows!
I think Lexi is starting to like her Aunt Dee!!! I love you Lexi!!!
I think Blake was a little nervous to try and go through my legs down the hill...don't worry i moved just in time.
Me and my best friend Haley!!!
Here's a genius idea...lets push them down the hill and make them go faster than they already are...then lets watch them fall off and roll the rest of the way down the hill!
Say cheese! And as a side note...the sprinklers go off around 9:00pm...we found that out the hard way and when we went back to pack up all of our food and stuff, there was nothing left to salvage. It was all destroyed by water, if water can destroy plastic...well, atleast it destroyed the hamburger buns.
Zach's brother's kitchen sink broke...so he spent most of sunday night trying to fix it. Unfortunately, his cloroxed pants wont be making it to next fall. The got ruined in the process but it was all worth it when the kitchen wasn't flooded anymore.
e next day. It was beautiful!
While in Ireland, we drove through the Ring of Kerry and stopped at a few places to look out over the water and take pictures. The road was tiny and cars would come speeding past you around blind corners so it was a little scary but we obviously made it through safe and sound. (The Ring of Kerry is also the place where a great deal of "The Princess Bride" was filmed).
Stratford-Upon-Avon was the first town we visited in England and it might just be my favorite. There are tiny little houses connected to eachother all over the place and the doors are so small i think i would have to duck to get in them. There are tons of shops surrounding the River Avon and hundreds of round-a-bouts instead of intersections with street lights which can be either lots of fun to drive or lots of chaos and confusion, which was mostly our case with 5 vans driving around the cities in England but i made great memories!
