a tall personality

This was our job during the show. We were called the A-team (short for arial I think). during some of the slower songs instead of choreography we went for the more from the heart hand lit stuff. It was beautiful, AND we got to wear fireman's coats! The picture is of Nathan taking his turn

We duct taped/ace bandaged Amy's shins so that she could make it through the scrub brush down the mountain. This was us exhausted at the end the photographer, Nathan, came away unphased and unscathed. Go figure.

Amy and me again with the sunset

This was the end point of our mountain hike (also known as Squaw Peak which has certain connotations to anyone in Provo which I would like to avoid). We timed it so we we so blessed to watch the sunset over the lake, and then so blessed to half hike half tumble down the front of the mountain in the dark! I reccomend it only for the stout hearted and thick shinned!

This is the whole crew from Sarah's fireworks show (minus Danial taking the picture) That's Sarah on the right holding little Seth. Matt is next to her, Kevin, Nathan, and I are on the right, we four drove up from provo. The rest are Sarah's wonderful family!

easily made, easily messed up completely. Sorry about the formatting. I'm still trying to figure out this post words and pictures at the same time thing :)

We had a Monday off of class before the new semester started so a few of us climbed up Y mountain (the big mountain behind my school with a Y on it). And not just to the Y, to the tippy tippy top through snow, and trees, and mud, and rocks, and flowers, and cookie dough, and ok maybe I'm getting a little carried away. It was BEAUTIFUL like only the top of a mountain can be. This is the Nathan most of you have heard so much about. This is Matt White, he likes to wear a straw cowboy hat while hiking. This is looking South West over Utah Lake. Who'd have thought it was so pretty so close, you just can't see it from the ground! Hmm, I feel a lesson coming on This is Amy... in the sky with diamonds

One of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. Earlier, the same sunset This was the super windy day. We found a little trail out of the park and had a nice hike in the pleasent absense of nature's sand blaster. AND there was water(my and Kaela's favorite part), it was a little like home...a little Us 4 when we got home in our dearly beloved Bonaparte (Kaela and I named him when we drove him from Valdez to Provo last summer). Even though he doesn't have air conditioning, he does the job and we love him for his faults as well as his strengths! I told the girls to look like they were jumping forward over the hill (it's not really a cliff) when I took this picture. A group of people had gathered behind me and when I counted to 3 and they all jumped there was a huge GASP behind me, apparently, they all thought they were acutally jumping off a cliff! Not that they wouldn't for the sake of a picture, but at least not at the beginning of the trip ;)

This is our camping trip to Arches National Park in Utah. BEAUTIFUL place, seriously, Utah is worth a visit, there are so many awesome and very different places in close proximity to eachother, it's too good to miss. This is us 4 arching in the arch. This is delicate arch, the one that's on all the license plates in Utah. The guy who took the picture dubbed us yellow (me), pink (Kaela), grey(linsey), and white (megan)-so we decided to keep the names for the rest of the trip! we couldn't convince little Megan to stand close enough to the edge of the little cliff and jump to make it look like her feet were off the ground. The second one from the right, that's me jumping AND taking the picture! Kaela and I scaling some rocks. We climbed everything we could get our hands on. This day was our blue day, it was a little windy...and by a little windy I mean if you uncovered your skin it got sand blasted. We had sand EVERYWERE, in our hair, nose, ears, etc. It didn'...

just me an' the clouds

First spot we stopped at, that's Angela representing the Y

"so..did anyone else notice we just happened to stop and take a picture at a really SCARY spot!" -steven(most right bottom)

Switchback action! We ended up decided we didn't like switchbacks and just climbing straight down, then straight backup

Angela, Bridger, moi

Group shot, see the big cliffs behind us? We had just climbed down them. We proceeded to lose the trail, and then to climb back up them!
