That one time we made Mac&Cheese!

That one time we made Mac&Cheese!
So Holli and I can be really spontaneous sometimes, and when we get an idea we are a lot of times very set on it and will make sure it happens!
Well one night Holli and I were starving, and nothing sounded good…except for Macaroni and Cheese! Luckily we had a box the only problem was it was 11:30 at night and we didn’t want to wake up my mom and dad!
So we were EXTREMELY quiet! One of us was on guard at all times while the other watched water boil…literally for twenty minutes we watched water come to a boil, it’s not as exciting as it sounds!
We continued to do so until the noodles were cooked! Holli then thought it would be much quieter to strain the noodles down in the bathroom with the door shut…kinda weird we know but it worked haha! It’s a good thing we did it at the other end of the house because we were laughing so hard as I mixed our mac & cheese in the bathroom!
No one else will probably find this as funny as I do, but I would never want to forget it!





Dakota's Bachelor-ette Party!

So the weekend before Dakota got married her sister Brecken threw her a bachelorette party in Salt Lake! It was SO much fun!
She booked a room at the Grand America, and it was such a pretty view and room!
 We left Friday morning and it was a non-stop party the whole time! We stopped to pick up Abby in Logan, and continued on to Salt Lake to do some shopping, one of my favorite pass times!
After shopping Brecken scheduled us to go to a Pole Dancing lesson! I can honestly say I have never done anything like that before, but it was SO fun! Haha, I was definitely feeling it the next day though!
It was half pole-dancing, and half silks which silk fabric is hanging from the ceiling!
I was surprised at how much of a workout it is more than anything sexy. Which is what our instructor said surprises most people. She said they have competitions, and shows and it is really just cool to watch how much body strength they have to do some of the cool tricks!  
After the pole dancing and silks, we went back to the hotel and had virgin margaritas, with an ice-cream cake! We opened presents and just laughed the entire time!
We went home on Saturday and just stopped at stores and malls on the way home!
I really can’t believe Dakota is married; I’m just really behind on blogging! I always knew this would come but it came a lot faster than I thought! But, I am SO incredibly happy for her!





Dakota was very graceful, and I certainly was not haha! 









This was my {favorite} trick! haha! 









Happy Wedding Dakota! 



Memorial Day Adventures!


I moved home from Rexburg Memorial Day weekend! I threw a bridal shower for my friend Dakota, that will be in another post. Erica came home, and while most of the weekend was spent getting ready for the bridal shower we also had some time to play, ride 4-wheelers, and see some family!
Everyone left on Sunday night, so Holli and I decided to celebrate Memorial Day on our own!
We have this fire pit that we decided to try out! We {thought} we could easily get a fire started with our amazing skills, but needless to say it’s times like that I really wish I had a brother who could help us out!
Holli and I wanted to roast marshmallows and have a great time, we went to all this trouble to gather supplies, and get some kindling for the fire! As we tried, and tried, and tried again to start a fire with just matches and tree bark Holli thought of the brilliant idea to use the gas can! It worked for a little bit, but the fire would never keep going…I have no idea what we were doing wrong I passed every certification test in girl’s camp!  
So eventually pouring gasoline on paper-towels was just not doing the trick so we proceeded to just {dump} gasoline on the fire…yea this is where our judgment may have gone wrong!
As Holli is pouring the gas I am getting some great pictures of the food we have prepared when all of a sudden I hear a few choice words and Holli is running like crazy to get the hose! I look over and the {full} gas can had caught on fire!!! With the sprinklers attached to the hoses and running on the lawn, and no water near Holli and I panicked! I ran for Sassy’s water bowl while Holli soaked herself unscrewing the sprinkler! Someone had to be watching out for us because we got it out in time, and all that we have to live with is a few scars, some scorched hairs and the embarrassment that we are definitely not boy scouts!
I would have taken some pictures but the added stress of Holli tossing the flaming gas can near a weed burner had me a little preoccupied!
This is something we vowed to never ever tell our parents, because our lack of judgment would have certainly gotten us in trouble…but I’m pretty sure the only people that read this blog is me and Dakota so hopefully they’ll never find out right Kode? Haha!

All in all it was a great weekend! I will post about the shower as soon as I get some pictures!!
