a ride.

i just drove home from preston. driving always gets me thinking, thinking and excited to do more. to create, to inspire, to BE PRODUCTIVE.

then i got home. and i got on the computer. now i have no motivation. why does the internet do that to me? i just get lazy or something every time i turn this big old screen on. however searching the internet does still inspire me. it makes me want to do so much.

like look like this... i love her outfit. i want to wear it everyday.

i really want a cute little bench for our house. when we lived in our old, old house, like 3 houses ago i would drive by this house nearly everyday that had the oldest bench outside. i wonder if it is still there. think anyone would mind if i just borrowed it? :)

(martha stewart)

this reminds me of some really cool containers i saw while visiting kirland ohio last year. they were used in the first bishops store house. i want them for my own store house!

i think these are seriously divine.

in other news. my aunt jodi asked my cousin carli and i to help her with her stakes 4th year adventure. they needed some craft ladies, and we come highly recommended :)

anyways. this was like no girls camp ive ever been to before. it was more like a luxury retreat. the house we stayed in was a 3 million dollar home that was incredible!!

this is the upstairs kitchen.

and the backyard. holy.

we are rock stars/junior leaders/craft divas/ just plain awesome

we did a little kayaking in a near by pond. i do love me some kayaking.

and then we rode in a private plane. ive done this a few times, but this was by far the funnest ride ive ever been on. we did free falls, quick climbs, dives, and he even turned off everything in the plane and we just sat there coasting for almost 30 seconds. i thought we were going to die. but it was awesome!

hmmm?

they were afraid we were going to barf, so we had to take some bags to catch it. nope we didnt throw up. which is surprising because i get motion sick very very easily!

fathers day weekend was spent kayaking some more, roasting hot dogs over a bon fire, and catching crawfish. i think the crawfish were the highlight. before i knew sam i didnt even know we had these in idaho.

my mom bought me these shoes. yes i love them. (dont mind my sick toe nails)

my father in law insisted i wear a helmet. so i did. and i was safe. he also insisted that i wear some old shorts and a shirt that he had in his truck so that i didnt get my clothes wet. so i did. and i was dry.



we had a splendid weekend. sams sister katy and her kids were supposed to get here from south korea on friday, but unfortunately immigration wouldnt let them out of the country. so after a lot of frustration and figuring things out they finally made it to san francisco last night. its been over a year since we have seen them! we cant wait! taryn and stella come tomorrow too. ah love having family (especially the little stinkers) around. we have lots of fun ahead!
