You + Me = Us

Around town... with the Brames.

Date night at Hibachi Grill...

25 mile bike ride.

Jon made me a hat... out of junk mail.

Sunday blueberry pie making.

Still amazes me how I never get sick of this Jon boy.

That's a good thing :)

Rain, rain, rain

Hmmm... So I'm trying to blog on my phone.

We'll see if it works :)

So lately we've had a lot of these roll in during the afternoon...

Love them.

Love the black clouds.

Love the thunder.

Love the torrential downpour.

And today- we gave in...

And enjoyed that rainstorm.

Pioneer children sang as they walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked....

Friday night we had dinner with some of Jon's co-workers and they asked what our weekend plans were...

so we proceeded to explain Pioneer Day and what kind of things we do at a "Pioneer Day" celebration.

I'm sure they thought we were crazy.

You make butter and pull on sticks?

Those Mormons are crazy...

Ummm... yeah :)

So we drove over to our Stake Center for our pioneer day festivities-

we made butter...

We helped out with the coloring craft :)

There was a bubble gum blowing contest... which I won!

Jon tried- but just ending up getting gum all over his face :)

And THEN there was the stick pulling contest...

It killed our hands!

I won the women's stick pull- hahaha.

Don't worry- I'm not that cool.

I only had 3 opponents.

But they did give me this pretty nifty stick.

I think it will look good mantled on our wall.

Then since we were over near civilization- we went shopping.

This is the new revolutionized way of trying on clothes with husband... 

Try on clothes- take pic- text pic to husband- and he texts back what he thinks.

No more coming out of the dressing room feeling awkward while the dressing room attendant and everyone else stares at you.

That's so last year.

And to continue on with the Pioneer Day celebration...

we got Chinese food at PF Chang's.

Ok, ok.

 So Chinese food has nothing to do with pioneers

 but we ended up getting two free orders of lettuce wraps- so it was well worth it!

Want to know more about the Mormon pioneers?

Here is a quick video... 

Boys Weekend

While I was gone to Youth Conference...

Jon ventured over to Alabama to visit his good buddy, Colin, who is there for Air Force training.

All I was told is that it was a "Boy's Weekend"...

I'm not quite sure what that ALL entails-

but Jon did show me these.

I guess they went golfing :)

 

I'm sure there was also food and a good amount of pillow talk involved...

don't ask ;)

We're READY!

We got these in the mail the other day...

Bring on the BYU football!
