Lesbian Hike is What We Call it:

I looked up this hike before we got to Hawaii. It was only an hour and a half round trip according to the website. So we take off on the hike excited to get to the waterfall. About 15-20 minutes up the trail we run into these two girls, we follow them on the trail for a few minutes. The one pink haired girl tells us she did hike a few years ago bla bla bla. We keep hiking. Then we get to a fork in the trail. The two girls think we should go straight. I keep saying I think we should go left. But whatever, they have done this hike before. We keep following them. And following. And following. And following. Pretty soon it has been about an hour. I reference the website that said it would be an hour and a half round trip.....
JUST THEN--we come across this little sign:

I almost cried. We were soo tired and hungry at this point! So we turn around and head back. The lesbians took the 6.3 mile route. Hope they had fun.

We get back to the fork and turn left. 5 minutes later we get to the waterfall. Lesson learned: Don't follow crazy lesbians with pink hair. Ever.

This is where we get to the waterfall, get attacked my mosquito's, and yell at Taylor to get out of the back ground of our picture. haha good times!

This just happened:

Adam: "Lauren, what time is it right now? (He just woke up)
Lauren: Um...Almost 7:30
Adam: Uggg, shouldn't I be at work by now?
Lauren: No response, I just wait for him to figure it out
Adam: Oh yeah, its still Sunday. I'm so confused. Comes down stairs and eats ice cream... haha

HAWAII

Was amazing! We spent 11 days in Oahu. My family was there for a week, and we stayed a few days after they left. We had sooo much fun! This was our last little vaycay/hoorah before Taylor leaves on his mission AND our second anniversary! yay!

This restaurant was amazing. My salad not so amazing, but the view was awesome and I can never complain about chocolate fondue!

Polynesian Cultural Center! Yes, that is Adam dancing on stage in the picture below! haha

Of course we went to Dole!

Boogie boarding. This is me and Taylor's favorite thing to do in Hawaii! Notice that I am out there with my dad. Adam went out for probably 15 minutes. Who is this man that I married? I love this stuff. Me, Taylor and my dad were on the boogie board on and off for over two hours.

Snorkeling is my next favorite thing. Is this as tan as I got? Pretty much. Was this the second day? Yes. This is the gist of what people say to me at work "11 days in Hawaii, where's the tan?" My response is "Um....I'm a little paranoid about skin cancer and wrinkles"

Gottcha!

April fools was on a Friday. By the time we get to Friday I am just done. Then to add April fools to a Friday makes an awesome combo. So I spent a few minutes in the morning googling April fools jokes. (A few minutes...um...ya...I'll say that) BUT this little baby I came up with on my own. On my lunch I picked up a pregnancy test and had my pregnant friend Erica pee on it. I didn't think Adam would fall for this at all! It is not an original April fools prank. But...He did! It was classic. Best $6 I've spent in a long time. I felt a little bad after though, because he really fell for it!

Time For a Little Catch Up--Adam's Birthday!

Adam is now 27! Yay! I think he had a pretty good birthday if I must say so myself. We stayed at the Alaskan Inn in Ogden--it was awesome! I booked the Eagles Nest room--everything eagle!

Yep, everything eagle.

Martnelli's, cookies, and romantic music was playing when we got there! And naturally an eagles cry. (Broke one of those glasses) haha

Breakfast was sooo good! We ate way too much and it was worth it!

Happy Birthday Adam!

This is Me:

Because Adam got a job!!!! YAY! I am so happy! Two incomes? What are we going to do with all of this excess cash? haha ok enough fun. Back to reality.....But I am so excited! Good job Ad!

Adam says this to me:

"I was sitting in my underwear ordering shoes off Sears.com when I realized that I never have to go into another store again! They are going to send them right to our door!!"

Late Thanksgiving!

WAY late Thanksgiving! Naturally I would add Christmas with all of these late photos but someone (Adam) lost my sim card! I am going to kill him! Anyways...We had Thanksgiving at my Grandma and Grandpa Niederhauser's house this year! I love my family!!!

23rd b-day!

I LOVE ADAM! I had such a fun 23rd birthday! We went to my favorite bed and breakfast in Heber (the Johnson Mill) and shopped ALL day; and went to dinner at night. Loved my birthday! Adam is such a romantic, and I love it! At the b&b they have this cute little pond on the property that we took a canoe around one night.

I just love this picture! Its from My 21st birthday when Adam and I were dating! He always spoils me! I love him!

From a Month Ago to Current:

• MOVED. Enough said. Leads to my next point:
• House is a mess, why do I have so much useless crap?
• BUT no more second hand smoke
• BUT I feel like 75% of the people in Utah County are weird!! Seriously. You have to live there to get this.
• "Maintenance Required" light is on in my car
• The registration is expired on both of our cars, wish me luck when I drive!
• My birthday was AWESOME! That will be the next post...When we get around to calling Comcast for internet! (I feel so disconnected without internet!)
• Adam had a root canal
• Adam had an ear infection
• Adam is still sick
• We are shutting down my center at work--lots of awkward situations with clients... Good news: I will still have a job. Bad news: Word on the street is that I am going to be sharing my job with another girl at the Sandy center...Pretty sure it won't take two of us to do one job. I feel like this is a demotion...lame
• Have you seen the construction in Utah County? It is a joke! And yes, I drive though that everyday!
• Back to good news: My best friend Tawni gets married on Friday! I am super excited! And that means four day weekend! hallelujah!
• Current.

Dirty Dashers!

Before the race started, we thought we were pretty sweet! And yes, we are matching once again...haha and to add to that; yes, my shorts really were that short! Yikes! (At least I match unlike Adam's outfit! haha) The whole fam minus Danielle--just had a baby, Danny--didn't sign up in time, and my mom...well...she was there she took these pictures!

My dad, me and Adam in action! Too bad we only kept up with Taylor the first 100 yards or he could be in this picture too; he killed us!

At the end still thinking we are pretty sweet!! It was SOOO fun!

The reason Adam complained the whole time. Sick, I know! He has said "look at my blisters" so many times I thought I would take a picture, it lasts longer!

Predictable Labor Day:

Labor day at the cabin: Predictable. Taylor teasing Cayli: Predictable. Going on a LONG walk: Predictable.

Playing games all night and all morning: Predictable. Cayli and I on a team: Predictable.

As soon as the new neighbors drive away from the cabin they are building we invite our selves in to snoop around: Predictable.

Lauren and Cayli: Predictable.

BYU vs Utah rivalry: Predictable.

Baby Caleb is Here!

My sister and her husband's first boy! (And last supposedly, but I've heard that before) He was born on Danny's birthday! He is so cute! I love him already. Don't mind the awkward picture Adam took it! JK!

I think my dad loves babies, children and his stinky, barking, dogs more than anything in this world! Besides my mom of course!

Oh Bre, where do I start with you? Well she's 3. She cried when they told her it was a boy, she wanted a sister. She didn't like the name Caleb, so she said for months "My mom and dad are naming him Caleb but I'm naming him Jeffery." And at the hospital she kept saying "He cries like a lamb huh?" haha I always joke "Oh Bre you make me so baby hungry" in the most kind, loving way of course. Love you Bre!

Adam held the baby! haha he thinks they are scary until they can talk--we'll work on that later. Isn't Ali gorgeous? Her first day of kindergarten was Wednesday and the first thing she said about it was "We can't tear the paper off the crayons, it's a rule" I talked to her on the phone on the way to the hospital and she said "Lauren, Caleb came out today" I love her.

Congratulations Danny and Danielle!

Last of Texas

Hangin out with the sister-in-laws, the ones that married Graff brothers. Love the beach house walls right? haha. Well in this picture we were all confessing our "guilty pleasures" and somehow we started watching Teen Mom on MTV and we all enjoyed it!!! haha OK I had the remote and they like it too! Also it was soooo hot and humid I could not be outside!

Rare occasion. JK But really it was so hot and humid I could not lay out very long! Hence the pale skin still.

Geo cashing!!! I love this! I keep hinting to Adam that we should geo cash sometime...aka lets buy a geo cash thing. We finally found it.

Do I really need to say anything about this picture? Other than I hope Adam survives skin cancer one day?

Texas Part 2

Shark fishing! The girls caught a shark! Not that I contributed to this at all, but I was there. I was either standing over the edge puking my guts out or laying on a dirty bean bag

All of the girls! This is the few minutes that I wasn't as sick on the boat. We saw some dolphins right after this pic, it was sweet!

Adam with the fish the guys caught. I love him!

Mini golfing!

Adam and Brandon on a ride (I have no idea what its called and I was too chicken to go).
