Super Epic Lego Time!!

Build With Legos, of course that made the list of things to do this summer, and while we have done it many times I decided not to count it until super epic lego time. Now, for our anniversary Tyson and I decided to have super epic lego time. So, we saved up, and had a little help from my Mom as our anniversary gift and we ended up with these legos for super epic lego time. Oh my word it was so much fun! We really enjoyed it and I look forward to rebuilding these sets over and over again for a very long time!  

All Around the Fire

Here I am... sitting by the campfire.... roasting... an Easter Peep. Yes, I am roasting a peep. Now, I had never done this before but Tyson INSISTED that this was the only way I would ever get him to eat a peep.So I decided that I must try it if he felt so strongly about it. Goodness sake it was good! I will still eat them plain too but I like peeps much better than normal marshmallows. One of the really nice things about roasting a peep was that the outside hardened and made it a lot less messy to eat!! 

I had never before roasted a Starburst, but I had heard wonderful things about doing so. So, with my summer fun I figured I might as well try this... and just as roasting peeps was awesome... so was this! Everything about a roasted starburst was fabulous! Even my Grandmother loved it! This will be happening around every campfire I ever have from now on! 

And last but not least, I did make a smores. I'm not huge on them, I've never been as obsessed with them as many but for traditions sake I always do it once a summer. This time I decided that I would use one of the peeps instead of a marshmallow. Lol, it tasted very similar but it made me laugh hard to see the ears sticking out of my smore... poor little bunny. Haha. 

Old Faithful

Okay, so it was also on this list of summer things to see old faithful. I have seen the awesome, famous, geyser many times in my life, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it last summer and I decided that wouldn't be okay for this summer!  So, while on our trip into Yellowstone National park we drove over to the many seen thing and lucked out! We walked up just as it went off and we had a great view without any of the wait. 

We also ended up going and seeing a pretty little waterfall that I hadn't ever seen before. It isn't very often that we find something so close to the path that I've driven so many times that I've never seen. I was very excited to stop and look at this beautiful site. 

My silly mother HATES taking pictures, but I insisted that she sit on this bench and take a picture with me... so here it is. I figured since I insisted on it I clearly should put it up for anyone and everyone to see!

Oh, and lastly another geyser that we found on out little trip in to the park. This one goes pretty much constantly! It was really pretty! I love seeing nature and all the things God created! 

Tinfoil Dinner

When I was younger and went to girls camp every summer, we frequently made tinfoil dinners, and I decided that this was something that I needed to do this summer, so it became number 35 on my list of things to try to do this summer. Last weekend, we did just this, but a little different than I had always done before. Usually I had done it with hamburger but this time we went with chicken. 

Our meal turned out so well! I really enjoyed it! We had some really great potatoes, and some bacon. (Tyson is somewhat bacon obsessed.) But it was really good! I am glad we branched out and tried chicken!

Throwing Away the Flip Flops

Okay, so I should start this post off with a little bit of a catch up... last weekend I did indeed get something off my summer list!!! I played the card game war (#95) and it was actually really fun! We played several rounds, and it went a lot faster than I remember as a kid... when I was little is seemed to take SOOOO long but it didn't feel nearly as long any more. Getting older does weird things doesn't it.
Anyway... onto the flip flops. Now this isn't meant to offend anyone this is just me personally and I'm sorry to the many who I know love them but I HATE FLIP FLOPS!!! A part of me never really like them, but then I went off to BYU-I where I didn't have to deal with them... people put on shoes that actually looked good with their outfits and I didn't have to listen to the smack smack smack all the time. I didn't have to see people tripping over them (I myself trip over them all the time if I wear them, they are the hardest things to walk in! I would be better off wearing 4 inch heels all day). So, I only own one pair of the things, and I bought those last year for the beach... meaning them to be strictly for the beach. Then sadly if I was leaving in a hurry and didn't have time sometimes they would end up on my feet and I would end up face planting into the car door (yes this really happened). So, I have sandals for this summer, real sandals that are super cute, and I also have ballet flats to slip on when I need to hurry and run out the door... I finally have no need for these dreaded flip flops and I finally get to throw them out!!! Yay for my own sake of never having to wear flip flops again!!!

Summer list 96

Well, any of you who frequent my blog know that I have a long list of things to do this summer. It is a fabulous list and when I made it I had no clue how busy this summer would be! However busy I have been I have been attempting to slowly tick things off. Today I did number 96 aka Have Cereal for dinner. I actually really love cereal! The cereal I chose was Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. They were delicious.
Other than work work work not a whole lot has been going on here in our lives, but there are awesome things to come! I thank anyone who read this!! Loves!!!

Behind

Okay, okay... I have fallen a bit behind now haven't I. Summer has simply flung itself at me, things have been CRAZY at work! A lot of things that aren't quite normal have been going on so I have pretty  much been working full time hours, which isn't what I am used to, and it will go back to more normal soon but it has delayed me a little on my list of summer. It hasn't delayed me 100% though, I have gotten three things done:
#3 Go to the zoo #15 go on a picnic:  Last Saturday while my friend Annie, and her son Chris were here we all took a trip to Idaho Falls and we headed over to tautphaus park. We stopped off at a little picnic table where we ate these awesome healthier than normal lunchables. They were actually really good. It was a tiny bit windy but other than that it was a great little picnic. Then we headed over to the zoo... sadly my favorite thing is always the same.... LLAMAS. Yes, I love going to the children s part and petting the llamas. I also rather enjoyed the lions. There was this really pretty lioness in and she looked like she was straight out of the lion king!
#69 Treat yourself day: After the zoo we went over to the mall and we "treated ourselves" to a whole bundle of new socks, books, and bath and body works products. We had been saving up to do this for quite some time and so it felt super nice to finally be able to go to the mall and enjoy!
So, that is pretty much what has been going on, hopefully soon I have time to plan a bit more.
