"Perfectly Perfect"
My Dad and Mary were able to get us tickets to Mary Poppins at the capitol theatre last week. The play was entertaining, a lot different then the movie, and Mary Poppins just just "Perfectly Perfect"--or so the song says...Me and Brody liked it a lot! Our friends Jesse and Kayla were able to come too and used some extra tickets my Dad and Mary had. Thanks for the fun weekend!

Eventful Weekend
Last weekend was so much fun, it was almost too much fun! Erin invited us to come to St. George and go boating and to the cabin with them. It was just going to be me going because my mom and Brody couldn't get off work so I invited Suzanne to go. Then at the last minute my mom and Brody were able to come.
We headed down on Friday afternoon and when we got there we couldn't believe how hot it was there. We were standing at Erin's front door FOREVER ringing her doorbell that she couldn't hear because she was downstairs. I think we were on the verge of passing out, when someone had the brilliant idea to call her and then we were saved.
The next day we went to Gunlock reservoir with Erin, Tyler, Jack, and Ry, and Tyler's brother Jordan and his date Brooklyn. We had so much fun on the lake! Tyler did some awesome flips on the wakeboard he almost landed, Brody wakeboarded for the 1st time in years and did really good and was catching some air. Jackson and Rylee even got on the wakeboard with Tyler and did it. Then it was time for tubing. Me and Suzanne went first and she was screaming and yelling so much I was laughing so hard I almost fell off so many times. She's petrified of the fish in the lake so she was holding on for dear life! When she couldn't hold on any longer she said "goodbye Jessica, I can't hold on, goodbye" and fell into the water. She said it so mad because Tyler was going to fast. HAHA it was really funny. Then me and Brody went tubing and I've never held onto something so tight before. Just looking at the water as were were being whipped around I knew it was going to KILL to fall off. Good thing brody was there to save me from falling multiple times.
We went to the cabin that night (i don't have pics) and rode 4 wheelers and ate a yummy dinner prepared by Tylers mom.
On our way home Sunday it was a down pour. We could barly see in front of us then all of a sudden I see this truck rolling and shouted it. Brody pulled over, put on the flashers and ran towards the truck (in the grassy median) when he got there the truck was on its side and totally smashed in. The people were stuck inside so he had to tear off the sun roof to get them out. Meanwhile my mom was calling the police. The people were really shakin up, drenched, and very muddy. There were only 2 people which is a good thing because the back seat was crunched so much someone would have been very hurt. Thank goodness they were ok. There were about 6 other cars that pulled over to help, I gave them our beach towls to stay warm and get dry and the man and woman and little dog went and sat in a big suburban and waited for the police so we left. It was raining like crazy and we were all soaked to the bone. It looked like we jumped into a swimming pool, we eventually had to exit and change our clothes.
Geez what a weekend! There's tons of pics too. Hope everybodys last days of summer are full of fun!

Happy Birthday!
Last weekend we made our way up to Brody's grandparents home in Idaho to celebrate both his brothers- Brock and Brayden, and his grandma Gayla's Birthday. We went to the Mud Boggs, ate yummy stake dinner, had red velvet cupcakes for dessert, stood barefoot in the coldest water I've ever experienced touching, it was burning my feet, like a brain freeze but 10x's worse and in my feet, and went 4-wheeling in prime Squatch country (Sashquatch)- yes I was a little nervous becasue on one episode of "Finding Bigfoot" there were eye witnesses that were 4 wheeling and were chased by a Squatch. They went fast and we were going slow because it was a really rocky trail, that's why I was nervous... Anyway, pardon my tangent.
The weekend was fun (minus Brody getting really sick)-He's almost better now.
One awesome duo

super-CALIFORNIA-istic expealidoshish
For the last 6 days I was visiting the CCC (Christensen Clan in Cali.) It was a much needed vaca for me to be with them. Those kids kept me going and going and going.. you get where I'm going with this..
We jumped on the tramp, played swords, played checkers, bingo, and goldfish, jumped on the tramp with a sprinkler underneath, read books, I was introduced to Phineus and Pherb and Clutch Powers, ate delicious food, laughed until we cried, went shopping, had a pizza party, visited the Jelly Belly Factory, had a SYTYCD finale party, and played.
I think that about sums it up. It was so much fun and the company was FANTASTIC. I can't wait to see them again at Thanksgiving! Thanks fam for the fun trip!!
Below are random pics. Jumping on the tramp, the Jelly Belly Factory, my awesome hamburger shaped as a jelly belly and smiley face french fries, and McCord and Dane got a hold of my camera and took the funniest pics. (There's a ton but I will just share a few.)

I'm OOOOld.
We decided it was that time to go hike Adam's Canyon. We've done it a couple times years ago and we thought it would be fun. We heard it only took a total of 2 hours and we had exactly that much time to conquer this motha'. Before we were even to the canyon we were EXHAUSTED! Those stinkin switch backs had done us in. We wanted to turn back but there is no way we would try this again, so since we were already up the switch backs we pressed on.
It is seriously up hill the whole way! What the heck is wrong with these people with smiles on there faces passing us? (idiots is what I was thinking). We couldn't take too many breaks because I had to be to work in a couple hours.
Finally we made it! with little bickering. To make it to the waterfall is amazing. It's so pretty, peaceful, and the temperature is perfect there with cold mist coming from the waterfall.
Now, it was time to go back down hill.. my legs were shaking the whole time and my knees were going to give out so I was moving like a turtle. Needless to say, Brody wasn't too impressed with my timing.
When I got out of bed this morning I could barley walk. The sides of my buttocks are SO stiff, I think I have shin splints, and I feel like someone sucker punched me in the ribs on my right side... Oye, I'm gettin old.
