danger...

paintballing... fun for sure... but apparently i have this hidden competative gene. rollin in the dirt no problem. wearing a mask you can't breath in but protects your precious face from the paint balls... no problem...


the problem is... your guy friend threatens you with spelling his name on your chest. honestly what do you do:

a.) take it like a man

b.) scream and run

c.) cower in submission and commit suicide

d.) take him out

guess this is one time i'm a (d.) kind of girl.

international triathalon two thousand eight...

thomas boys decided to unite and triathalon together. the boys did the whole race in speedos. everyone called them the speedo brothers.





nothing more attractive than neon green swimmers cap and goggles... raaaaar...





shannon and i were there fans and photographed the event.

sexy...

sexy beast...

sexy mama!

secret garden...

we took the family to the secret garden where dallin proposed to me... february 15th 2008. just him and me, in our own woods at Glenridge Hall, by our own stream, old stone table and benches, dancing in the moonlight... simple and nice. i wouldn't have had it any other way... and he knew that.

site seeing in the A-T-shizzle...

took the time to do some of the touristy things in atlanta... dallin and i haven't taken advantage of that enough, so with family here it was the perfect excuse to go... coca cola... born in atlanta, you absolutely HAVE to vist coke. though i'm more a dr. pepper kind of girl-- if i drank soda that is.
catch the news lately... CNN folks... that's right. it's only here on CNN you catch the most of WORLD news... really can't stand the news to be honest. so depressing. but you gotta check it off your list. CHECK.

attempted to run through the Centennial Olympic Park fountain. made it through no problem, but some little girl decided to block one of the holes and it shot right where it looks like i wet my pants. lovely.

congrats to the grad!!

mister rei dallin thomas graduates from emory university with his masters in public health! what a man. what a man... what a mighty good man!

his parents came, my parents and my sister came, buddy pete, pres schmid... it was a party. check the proud fiance...

**note here: mister whistling in his cap and gown... love that about him! whistles everywhere he goes...

rexberg idaho... receiving my endowments...

the day has arrived... i received my endowments in the newest rexberg idaho temple... we had louis clan attend, the thomases, and some friends. it's official, i'm now a member of the "club"...

catch dallin's shoes... in all the hussle and bussle trying to keep me relaxed on such a stressful day, he forgot his suit shoes in his parents van... whoops! but nice touch anyway dallin..

bowling anyone??

night out on the town boooooooooooowling. a farewell to mr. tony bennett too... moving back to utah.

birthday bash... a little whirly ball?

got a group of our friends together to play whirly ball... something we've wanted to try since we heard about it.

it was created in Atlanta, and it's really quite unique. you drive a bumber car, while holding a plastic ball carrier, to try and flip the ball with your stick into a basketball hole... winner with the most points wins... SUPER fun! happy 27 to us!!

our newest little one!

welcome to the family Anika Thomas!

a birthday treat for the january babies (aka dallin and myself)... we bought a new puppy! little miss anika is a german shepherd siberian husky mix... and she's beautiful!
i've always wanted a dog to spend the days with me... now that i work on 47 acres-- all day long, there's enough space to really let a dog be a dog. i kid you not she's got personality... she almost thinks she's a little person.

happy new year! welcome 200EIGHT

what to do on the worlds' deamed get drunk holiday when you don't drink? that's a tough one, but have you ever consider broom hockey?? totally blast! with the tanners of course... night on the ice to ring in the new year!

let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

christmas with the Thomases too! spent the week in utah, in a family cabin. and of course we all know utah=SNOW... and we definitely took advantage of that! snowboarding... it's been so long since we've been we forgot how it feels to reeeeeeeeally freeeeeeeeeee faaaaaaaaaaaaall...

happiest place on earth...

born and raised in southern california, means a lot of disneyland time. and to my ultimate dismay, my man has never been to the happiest place on earth. leave it to my mother to save the day. passes to disneyland for christmas!!

zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-yay, may oh my what a wonderful day...

dancing the night away...

my little sister Lisa married Brent Brown on 12.18.2007... i brought dallin home to meet ALL the fam (this is serious), one at a time-- and of course to be my date at the wedding. the single older sister certainly cannot show up to her younger sister's wedding dateless. for real.

let's just say dallin passed the test with flying colors. did he even worry about it??... or did i for that matter?? dallin has one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, PR bases i've ever meet... another reason to love this boy! oh and not to mention he can surely dance.

party like a rock star.
