Little Sahara Sand Dunes
On Friday and Saturday we met Logan's parents and Taylor at Little Sahara Sand Dunes just west of Nephi. We had SO much fun, even though it was a quick trip we really had a great time. The first time we went to the dunes in Kanab I thought they were huge, but then we went to these dunes. They were MUCH bigger! I was quite surprised. Logan said he broke me in on the first trip so this time he didn't go easy on me. We were flyin' all over those dunes, some of the time I was hanging on for dear life...but it was still fun. Thanks again to Lorri and Lynn for taking us out, we had so much fun with you :)
This picture was taken with our camera on the car and a timer-that's why it's kindof crooked.
Logan just relaxing and enjoying the warm weather.
Sand Mountain-it doesn't look that big but it's HUGE! You can see the small four-wheelers at the bottom just starting up it

Alpine Loop
After church on Sunday Logan and I went for a drive up American Fork canyon on the Alpine Loop. I only wish there were more places to stop and take pictures, the road is so tiny and there are very few turnouts. We managed to find a few good places. The weather was beautiful and all the parking was free because it was Sunday! I am so grateful we live in a place that you see the beautiful Fall colors. I think the changing colors are in my top three favorite things in nature...yes for sure!

This picture doesn't do this tree justice, it was the reddest tree I have EVER seen, I just can't get over how beautiful it was.

New addition to our apartment and Hogle Zoo
Last Saturday Lynn, Lorri, Brandi and Presley came up for the day. They first delivered this BEAUTIFUL instrument to our apartment, I honestly couldn't be more happy. Thank you so much Lynn and Lorri for this wonderful wedding present, and for hauling this giant thing up here! I've already been playing it a lot!
After five guys got it up to our third floor apartment we went to the Hogle Zoo. We had such a fun day, there were so many animals I never thought would be at the Zoo in Utah. I thought it was too cold for most of those animals. I just wish we would have gotten a picture of all of us together, I'll be better about that next time. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the day.
They have peacocks just roaming around and Presley liked chasing them!
The zoo had a lot of cute baby animals and even though it's hard to see, this is an adorable little tiger.
Us with the giraffes, there was a baby one of these too, but I didn't get a good picture-so cute!
I don't know why I liked this guy so much, maybe because a RED panda is so amazing! Most of the animals were napping when we were there, but at least we could still see them!
The new baby elephant sleeping, they just named him Zuri.
Here is another beautiful peacock, I wish we could have seen one with it's feathers out.

The beginning of a new semester...and other happenings
We are finally back in Utah and loving the weather up here. California and Arizona were getting a little too hot for us. School has started and we are very busy! We both have five classes plus institute and Logan works every morning. I had a job interview yesterday so hopefully that means I will start working mornings as well. It's great though, we like being in school and having something to do rather than sit around and stare at eachother!
A few things we've done since leaving California and coming to Utah...
We went four-wheeling with Logan's family up in the mountains of Koosharem and had so much fun! We were covered in dirt from head to toe-including in my ears but still enjoyed every minute of it. I think it took 2-3 showers before we were completed clean! We celebrated my birthday-the big 22 by going to PFChang's with some family and friends. We saw Julie and Julia this past Saturday and let me tell you...I loved it! It was hilarious, even Logan enjoyed it. I highly recommend it. I got strep throat over the weekend and thank goodness for my mother-in-law who had medicine for me. I've been on antibiotics for a few days now and feel so much better, my throat is almost better.
We've been staying with Zac and Kara for a week now til our apartment is ready this weekend. We are so excited to move in, unpack our stuff and just have a place of our own. Not that we haven't love spending so much time with our families this past little while...but it's time for our own space :) Our apartment is in Pleasant Grove and it's right off the freeway, so it may sound far but it takes about 7 minutes to get to school. Not bad at all. Plus they are new apartments, that was the selling point for me!
Other than that we've been busy buying books, doing a little homework and getting used to being back in school. So if you're ever in the neighborhood stop by and see us!

Zac, Kara, and Lola's visit to California
Last week Zac and Kara came to visit the whole family for his birthday. It was so much fun! Especially because it was a chance for the whole family to be together before we all leave for school. We spent a lot of time here on the mountain for the first few days and enjoyed the company. On Friday we went down to Irvine and stayed in a hotel. We had dinner at one of Zac's favorite restaurants, Javier's, swam in the pool for awhile and got some rest. Saturday we woke up and get everything ready to spend the day at the beach. We spent about half of the day at Crystal Cove, swimming, eating, sun bathing/burning, and relaxing. Later that evening we finished up the trip with a stop at In-N-Out and headed home. Zac and Kara left on Tuesday, thanks so much for coming! We had the best time with you :)

Logan and I are moving back to Utah in about a week. We have had such a great summer here in California-thanks to all our family for supporting us all summer long.
