Fourth of July Weekend!!!!

We had a blast up at the cabin in Island Park with Grandma and Grandpa Chapman and all of Blaine's family! On Saturday we watched the fireworks show above the lake. Then on Sunday we went up to Big Springs to see all the trout.....usually it's teaming with several hundred rainbows, but that day we only saw ONE! haha....what we did see was a whole bunch of seagulls, a muscrat, and some baby ducklings with their mama. Afterwards everyone else went to Mesa Falls....but Nate had had it by then, so we went back to the cabin for naps. On Monday we went tubing behind the boat and then packed up to leave. I think my favorite part of the trip was playing Fruit Basket Upset and the Werewolf Game.

Last Summer (Bend 09)

I forgot to post these pictures from last summer. We had such a wonderfully relaxing Bend, Oregon trip with my parents at their time share in August. We rode bikes, swam in the pools, and just walked around the small shopping village. We drank bubble tea, and ate all kinds of tasty scones. It was my parents, Aaron, Nate, Me, and my two younger brothers Alex and Ryan. Then later that week my Grandparents flew up to go fishing. Here are some of the pictures...it's crazy to see how much Nate has grown since then!

We're SOOO Behind in Blogging

Well, as most of you know, our last blog entry was back in Halloween of last year! HA! So...I will try to outline some key events in each month after that until now (July 2010).

November 2009-

Besides going to school full time, we headed out to Utah for a Myers Family Thanksgiving! It was fun, we ate and ate and then played basketbal

l afterwards in a nearby meetinghouse.

December 2009-

Went to Washington to celebrate Christmas with the Tews! We relaxed a lot, ate a lot, and did a whole lot of nothing- in a good way.

January 2010-

Started up school again. I auditioned for our university's touring dance company Dance Alliance. Auditions are always nerve-wracking and it didn't help that I was up all the night before with the flu....but somehow I got through it and made the company!

February 2010-

Celebrated the Nate-ster's 2nd birthday at Grandma Chapman's with Blaine's family....it was so much fun (as is always the case when you hang out with family)! Nate had a fruit pizza for a cake and he loved it.

March 2010-

Celebrated Aaron's 28th birthday at the Rex bowling center and I SURPRISED HIM! Which is virtually impossible if you know Aaron, but miraculously I was able to do it! I think because I planned the party a week before his actual birthday. We ate tons of great food with several of our good friends...good times!

April 2010-

Not much happened this month, but I did audition for grad school on the 9th. I was so sure they wouldn't let me in (my interview felt awful and they only take 8 people- out of about 50 or so that apply), but luckily three weeks later I got my acceptance letter! So, I will be getting an MFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah!

May 2010-

May I'm drawing a blank....nothing important to talk about I guess!

June 2010-

We got to spend a couple of weekends with Jared and VoNique in Utah while we were looking for housing near Salt Lake. Nate went mini golfing for the first time and that was and up and down day. One minute he was happy and smiling, the next screaming because we wouldn't let him go into the pond and fountains. Being a kid is hard.

July 2010-

There will be lots of fun updates to come for this month. It will be monumental. We have my birthday on the 18th, the Chapman reunion that same weekend, BYU-I graduation on the 23rd, and Dance Alliance tour to Oregon and California July 26th-August 8th. Lots of fun stuff to post pictures about soon!
