pearl

 So did you hear? We added another bunny to our rabbitry. Yes I'm calling it a rabbitry. Jory doesn't like that though. Because lets face it, breeding rabbits is kind of weird.

Her name is Pearl and notice the blue eyes not red... Supposedly she's rare-er than other rabbits. So we're feeling pretty good about ourselves, having a rare bunny and all.

 This is what happens when you and your love work all day everyday and have no children. You start investing in bunnies and living through their children.

It's pretty great though.

too much work

Okay really I haven't been working too much.  A lot. But not too much. I've actually had a few days off lately which is so wonderful.

Yesterday morning Jory woke up early to go wake boarding with one of his friends- and if you don't know me and my sleeping habits... when i'm sleeping. I'm sleeping. and I'll try to get up.. but it just takes me awhile. I'll be disoriented and not understand whats going on for maybe 3 minutes and then I'll be fine. 

Jory likes to ask me questions when I'm in this volunerable state and I answer with things like "3 hot dogs" -  "how many calories??" and "150 dollars". When of course those answers never apply to the question.

So... back to Jory waking up early, exhausted, like a good wife I was trying to make sure he didn't forget anything important, and it made perfect sense to tell him..

"don't forget your insurance card!!"

So, yeah, maybe that does mean i'm working too much.

We got to go to Bear Lake with Jory's family this weekend!

The trip consisted of... driving, pretty Idaho fields, four wheeling, chatty children, floating on the lake and thinking that you could probably die floating on that lake and be okay... Getting up close and personal with cows and smashing over there pies and it splattering all over your tires. 

Raspberry shakes that were way too big and yes we waited in line for over a half hour for them. 

It had me laying in the back seat- wait, it wasn't a seat, the back area of your car, you know. Where you put your luggage and stuff? Yes. I laid there. In my wet swim suit on top of towels and tubes. But I had a bag of cheetos with me, just me in the back, so it wasn't too bad. Not really going to think about that image though for too long. Ha! 

It was super fun and made me and Jory think about moving to Montpieler for a minute. Never thought I'd ever say that! 

Any way. We did really well on packing for this trip. Almost remembered everything that we needed, you know how that never happens. So, what we DID forget, was my contact solution- case, glasses, everything. 

Which, guilty. Yes, I am one of those who forgets to take out there contacts when she sleeps. I'll just admit it. So I wasn't too worried about it. 

Until Saturday morning when my contacts felt like they were vacuumed to my eyebawls. Groggily, I rolled out of bed and went to a  bathroom in the house where I remembered seeing someones contact solution and contacts.

So, rationally thinking of course, I decided to steal a drop of contact solution so I could get some sort of moisture to my withering away eyes. 

The smart thing to do would probably have been to ask if I could borrow that solution, maybe ask if it was contact solution? But. No, I just squirted that bottle with the RED cap in my eye... (finding out later that red means DO NOT PUT IN EYES). 

Before I knew it. Completely freaking out, I was splashing water into my eye as fast I could because- an intense burning pain consumed my eye and that left quarter of my face. My eye was instantly cherry red. And I was left thinking what. an. idiot. I was. With tears streaming down my face I scrambled to read what the crap I had just put in my eye... 

hydrogen peroxide cleaner. 

perfect. 

So for that first couple minutes I was thinking, okay, we're going to have to take me to emergency room because I'll be blind from using cleaner in my eye, when I could have just read that stupid bottle, asked Jorys sister if I could have borrowed some eye drops?

I didn't tell anyone for a day I was too embarrassed.

Oh.. I guess I learned from that experience. : )

boys boys boys

Just kidding. My title was supposed to be toys toys toys. But boys sounded good. I love boys! I hope I have lots and lots of baby boys. ANYway.

Jory had an idea and decided if he was a good boy and saved his pennies from window washing he'd buy himself a four wheeler. (since the day I knew Jor- if he was surfing the web, he wasn't on facebook. He's on ksl, looking at boats, four wheelers and trucks.  Never with the intention of actually purchasing {thank goodness} but it's "out" or something and he loves it.) 

That being said... don't worry we have helmets. Come four wheeling with us!

Why go with bareminerals when you have foundation from the earth...

SO DIRTY!

the cast

the reel?

is...

needing

some help

Sometimes I get so focused on the terrible awful things that happen around us that I seem to go through life not recognizing all the great things. There's nothing personally really terrible awful in my life at all right now-my life is pretty perfect honestly. It's just all the sad things you hear about, those things on the news that make your heart twist and turn and feel like crying for those poor people. (yes, I am always an emotional mess)

It's been on my mind a lot and for moments when I think about it, it brings me down, makes me paus sulk a little in the sadness for these people.

 But something neat has happened lately, with almost every terrible thing I hear about, something sweet and powerful and good comes from it. 

I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and I like seeing these hints of comfort in these situations. I'm left overwhelmed sometimes at how life is so good to us. Most of the time you over look though it- I feel like I do.

Speaking of over looking things... Me and Jor are avid netflix and hulu participators. If it's 9:30 pm and you're wondering what we're doing?  Most likely we're smushed on the couch, gummy bears and ice water in hands while BOTH and I mean both, of us have tears streaming down our faces while watching the biggest loser. Seriously? Seriously. Guilty pleasures. 

Any way- the other night, it was just us, and we decided to forgo the traditional ep and gummies. We ate dinner in the grass outside next to our baby buns, played cards all night refusing to go to bed if one of us was the loser- because we were both planning on dominating the other. What I'm trying to say is that this night was so much more memorable than any other netflix night... We had so much fun, laughed and really loved being together. Little things like that make me realize how much time I waste focused on things that don't really do anything for me and make me over look some really, really good stuff.

So that was blab for the day- : )

Yes, let's get those facts and figures, Barry, into the idea machine.

Have you ever heard of geocaching? Yeah. Me, either. I guess it's a scouts/nerd/ sorta thing. 

Honestly when Jord and Ash so randomly fumbled on that topic yesterday in our living room, I thought the word was geode cashing. You get really cool rocks and money? 

No. Not at all. 

So we googled geocaching. watched a couple youtubes. got a little curious. maybe we looked up our address on geocaching.com. saw that there a was a geocache 353 feet away from our house. 

we all had our shoes on running down the street not 5 seconds later looking for that geocache.

 

Notice... our house right behind our cache 

oops how did that get there

busybusybusy bees

So.

The question has got to be what haven't we done these last few months? 

Time feels like it's gone by in a crazy blur recently...While I was in the middle of it I kept telling myself "it'll be over soon..".. But knowing I would regret that attitude, I still tried to sit back and enjoy life while being thrown into this blob of working long ours, work outs, photo shoots, family get-togethers, editing, still trying to have a super relationship with my honey, raising rabbits and selling them and on top of that.. having clean underwear! 

Now, when when I don't have much to do... I sit here staring at this computer thinking of how I can be productive and realize I'd rather be super busy than stressing myself out about being too bored and not getting enough done. 

Ohh.. I ♥!

Well. What have we been doing?

 So Jory built a shed.

Thanks to Grandma Crane! (and Allan for using his big ole man tools to help us lay some cement, it's so awesome having him as a father in law!)

We had 9 bunnies and sold them (p.s. greatest business ever! I love my babies!)

Admitted towards my denial that yes, Sarah, you lost your wedding ring. : (

Pictures, pictures, pictures! I've been doing lots of photo shoots- I'm totally loving photography! It's a little overwhelming- I have so much to learn.

So many sweet people have asked me to take their pictures recently- I've enjoyed it so much and I'm totally loving this learning experience... now all I need a mini me to do all my editing.

Lots and lots of family stuff 

Jordon and Sasha bonded

 

 

Oh.. I'm gonna miss my jahbah


Isn't this the best picture ever? Scotty had a little bit of a crisis situation with Jordon while almost tumbling the side of the mountain, let's just say he wasn't in the best of moods. I think I will always bust out a laugh while looking at this picture.

 We just couldn't get over looking at these pictures afterwards- no one could go down this slightly sloped hill slide with out slipping, loosing their balance and looking completely ridiculous- me and Ashley laughed so hard! But when looking at the pictures- it didn't even look steep!

Work

Jay left us for the MTC and Sweden

 

I guess we'll forgive him for abandoning us.

Oh, I did a Triathalon! 

 

This race was totally what I needed right now in my life. Something to make me work harder to be healthy, something to get me to feel good about my self.
It was kind of an emotional experience, while running with legs feeling like they were about to numb up on you- you would look over at a complete stranger- and they would smile and cheer you on with a bunch of encouraging words. Complete strangers! So putting it out there that I cry while watching little boy baseball games, I was definitely fighting to keep back the tears while working hard to finish.
It was something that was doable and I recommend this race to anyone who needs an upper in their life.
