weekend & some other stuff.

i can't believe the parade of homes have already come and gone! last year the day we went through, me and matt got engaged!! seems like that year went by fast!! anywho, this year was kind of fun because matt was the super over the whole subdivision so he did a lot of work on the patterson parade home. he was constantly over there making sure things were getting done, and it tuned out great! also, matts dad did all the granite countertops and they look amazing!!!


on friday we decided to show our pleasant grove pride and hit up strawberry days.
matt was LOVING the rides!! listening to him scream was the funniest thing ever!




we always have so much fun with meg and spence! at one point during the night we got laughing so hard about something i was literally crying, like tears coming out of my eyes!! haha! they are so much fun!



on saturday night we went up to the real salt lake game with some people matt works with.
matt has never been to a real game so he has been so excited, and we had awesome seats! they played san jose, so it was a big game. unfortunately they lost, but we still had fun! matt's claiming to be their biggest fan since then.. but i know no one has his heart like the jazz.




sunday afternoon we decided to get out of the house and go on a little hike by our house. it was so pretty and we had no idea all this stuff was so close to us.



 this was at the top of the waterfall.



i know, i know. we look great!!


and now just for fun a few pics of bridger. i babysit dakota and bridger every tuesday, and despite how naughty they can be i LOVE babysitting them!! summer doesnt like bridge taking naps during the day because then he wont go to bed at night, but he always tries to sneak in a little nap with out me noticing. i dont know why i love to take pictures of him sleeping? he's just so dang cute! when he's sleeping.. haha



i also have to throw in a few pictures of matts niece lydia. she is so funny! 
she never wants to wear pants, and always has a little wedgie! haha

camping

This past weekend we went camping with Brenden & Hannah and Spencer & Megan!
We had so much fun! We want to go every weekend!
We went camping on some of my uncles property up in alpine, and found the coolest spot up there. It felt like we were in the Uinta's when we were literally 30 seconds away from Brenden's house.








My sister let us borrow their camping stuff. little did we know the tent was HUGE!!
haha we could have all easily fit in it!!



Brenden & Hannah's tent was soo little, it was making us laugh so hard!!

cant forget about the bathroom. being a girl and going to bathroom outdoors is probably one of the hardest things ever!! there is no good way to do it. i was making matt stand by me so i could hold on to his leg haha. we need to bring a portable toilet or something next time.



When we got married for a wedding present for matt i got him a 
Bear Grylls knife. He was seriously wipping that thing out every chance he got.


Here he is trying to start a fire with it.




cant go camping with out some good old fashioned hot dogs 




meg and spence brought stuff for these campfire cones i had seen on pinterest.
so yummy!!





i was in charge of breakfast so i pre-made these breakfast burrito's from a recipe on pinterest. (pinterest really pulled through for us on this campout) They were so easy and you just stuck them on the fire in the morning, after a few minutes they were hot and ready to eat!! i'm def making these every time.





yes, these are the shoes i wore camping ( i didnt think we were gonna be hiking and stuff ok)

in the morning everyone decided they did want to go hiking.. haha
so matt had some of his work boots in his truck. i looked ridiculous! but
hey they worked like a charm. im actually thinking of picking myself up a pair!




such pretty views




dont i look good in the morning. hahah!



so fun snyder's and smith's we have to do it again!!
