Getting into the Groove

Matt and I went hiking up to Desolation Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon over Labor Day weekend. The trail really kicked our butts and it wasn't even that difficult. Marriage really gets you out of shape. The leaves are still nice and green even at the very top, hopefully we can go a few more times when the leaves are turning!

Other than that, lets see...we bought a truck which Matt spends ALL of his free time looking at accessories for. Football season started, so Matt watches every game he can while recording another game simultaneously while looking for accessories for the truck. Hahaha. Matt has also been really busy with work, the company is making a lot of changes and expanding right now which is really exciting! Work has been busy for me too which I am grateful for. I decided to run a half marathon in November in St. George and now have to start training for it, I needed something to motivate me to get back in shape. I am also submitting my application to start my Masters degree, finally! I am really excited to go back to school but missed the spring deadline so I have to wait til next summer to start, hopefully the enthusiasm stays around til then!
And of course we have been having a ton of fun with Nick! He grows and learns so quick. He recently learned how to sing the ABC song, he now LOVES going to nursery and saying his prayers, and as you can see taking bubble baths! My favorite though is he will ask me "Chanci love me?" and then I get to tell him how much I love him and give him big hugs and kisses. I think he is starting to realize I am a part of his family now so that's why he asks me that. It is so darn cute!

Whitewater Kayaking

Yes, Matt and I do actually have fun by ourselves sometimes when Nick isn't with us. Surprise, surprise! A couple of weeks ago we decided to go white water kayaking on the wild Snake River just below Jackson Hole, WY. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the whitewater was great! The water was pretty low so the Big Kahuna was in full force. The first time down the river Matt and I FLIPPED the kayak over! It took us a while to get back in and we lost all of our food as well as some of Matt's clothes. It was pretty hilarious, I can only imagine what we looked like out there. All in all we had a GREAT time!
