It's What Fun Is........

How can you pass up Ten Dollar Lagoon passes?! You can't!! Kami, being a local in the Farmington area, has inner connections to one of the greatest attractions in Utah... Andrew and I raced up to Lagoon after work and had a blast! I haven't been to Lagoon since Dare Lagoon Day in 6th grade... I have been missing out... Poor Andrew it had been a lot longer... A Family Reunion in his youth... Being raised in Houston he didn't have the luxury of Stake Lagoon Day... Bummer! But we're back, and LOVING IT!!

Katie and Redd enjoying a ride on the "Wild Mouse". Probably the most terrifying ride at the park... I'm not sure how the car stays on those rails... Traumatizing! The kids didn't seem to notice how close to death they were coming!

It's just not Lagoon unless you take a ride on the "White Roller coaster." My niece growing up in the Farmington/Lagoon area, now is well versed in the Lagoon Trivia, and informed us that the "White Roller Coaster" was the only thing that survived Lagoon's huge fire in it's early years! Just a little 'Gee Wizz' knowledge for you.... Hopefully you can use that as a great conversation starter... I know I will!

Here we are about to start our ride! Forgive the low quality picture, I left the camera (of course) so our trusty camera phone came in very handy!

The "White Roller Coaster" in all of its glory!! It had a little more kick to it than I can remember!

Mimi and Sara Jane! This little girl L O V E S her Mimi!! I have never seen her like this with ANYONE!! My mom went on the Carousel with some of the other grand kids, and Sara Jane would scream Mimi every time she saw her come around! Adorable!

ReddMan on the carousel!

"Little Andrew" as he is now called on a ride on the worlds fastest spinning Carousel!

SOOO EXCITED!! I told Andrew we had to walk around holding each other and kissing a lot or you just don't get the full blown Lagoon effect! Just "Big Andrew" and me waiting to go on the 'Terror Ride' that Little Lizzy insisted she go on and watch all of the scary stuff! Then she told me that she "went on a ride with Mimi and it was so fast I puke-ted." Who even knows where she came up with that... And she pretended to dry-heave when she saw Colossus! And said "See I told you I would just puke if I saw Colossus!" Such a fun place! (I should be paid for my endorsements... I know, Lagoon and I are working out a contract)

Why We LOVE Ogden

After being bedridden with the flu this weekend, we had to get out of the house! We decided to take our Sunday drive up to Ogden. (As if we aren't there enough) Ogden has to be on of my favorite places in Utah... It is relatively close and has so many fun things to do. It's a beautiful drive that we would recommend!

Pineview Reservoir, its like our own little fjord in Utah! The water levels are really high this year which will make for great water skiing!! Can't wait! Our claim to fame with Pineview is that our Granny Combe in high school swam the entire length of the reservoir, quite a feat!

We pulled over on the side of the road to let the dogs get out and play. (We are puppy sitting our friends Golden Retriever Fenway!)

We forgot to bring toys with us, so we improvised with an empty Gatorade bottle to retrieve!

This dog is amazing, he could retrieve the bottle no matter how far into the water you threw it... Caesar just splashed around the edge of the water and watched Fenway have all the fun!

Andrew jumped in last minute to my beautiful scenery shot! I think he makes the picture better!

Just a picture of us, just off of bed rest! You'll have to forgive my haggard appearance it was a long weekend!

A wonderful drive on Utah's Scenic Byway!! How can you not appreciate the beauty here?! Incredible country!

Our last photo of a perfect day.... Just the two of us, a camera, and two wet dogs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!

Happy Birthday to our Special Guy!! ; ) No but seriously Mike we hope you have a wonderful day! We love you and can't wait to see you in July!! Thanks for being such a great big brother! (I'm not sure how this picture got on our computer, but THANK GOODNESS!)

Interesting Problem Solving!!

We were visiting my parents on Saturday evening. My Dad was determined to get some vines out of this tree and needed a really tall ladder to get them down...

He had nothing to lean his ladder on, so seeing Drew, (a man large in stature) thought it would be a great idea to have him hold the ladder.

And to everyone's surprise it worked!! The vines came down, my dad was happy, saved the tree and Drew got to show off his super human strength!!! Atta Boy!! Yes that is my Dad's favorite hat!!

A Great, Great Dane Day at the Park!

This is Caesars' pre-Great Dane Day at the Park massage! He needed to be on his 'A game" for the day!

Caesar meeting another bandaged friend! This Blue dane is 11 months old... 7 months older than Caesar and they were almost the same size.... Ohhhh boy!!

Caesar and Andrew participating in the Best Couch Sitter contest... Caesar isn't allowed on the furniture so he hopped on and hopped off before we could get a photo! Andrew for the big day wore his new tube socks to the event!! (Love you Dad Hogan!)

Caesars second Blue Dane friend could fit his entire neck in his mouth!! Caesar loved it... The bystanders were a little nervous... Puppy Love!

Great Dane Day at the park is now an annual activity for the Hogan's. We went last year when we were dating, and decided that we needed one. It was fun to come this year with a Dane. There were over seventy Great Danes at the park today, it looks like a bunch of Horses running around barking at each other!! They have competitions like "Best Couch Sitter, Biggest Nose, Cutest Puppy, Best Hot Dog Catcher, Oldest and Youngest Dane." We couldn't stay too long we had to get back to Saturday Chores. One of the 'Greatest' days of the year... No pun intended!

SUNDANCE

Here are some pictures of our little jaunt up to Stewart Falls in Sundance!

This is one of our favorite "little adventures" it's just fun a break from doing the usual.

We have taken this little stroll several times, but haven't been back since Andrew proposed at the waterfall. So it will always be special to us.

The view from here is incredible. And it was such a fun spring day. The weather was perfect, and it was so relaxing.

Our puppy dog LOVED it!!!

SO BIG!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

To my amazing sister Meghan!! Congratulations on graduating and turning 24 on the same day!! You're an amazing sister, and we just wanted to tell you how great we think you are!!!

Meghan and I pretty much grew up as twins. Only being born 16 months apart, we were pretty much inseperable!! So many memories we have together, a lot of them include those sponge curlers you see in Meghan's hair!! Meghan was much better about keeping them in! (yes I started my life out as a brunette!!)

Just a picture of the "little girls." This is what we were called, we always came in a set. My sister Kami said the other day that she just realized she always said our name as one. We are always MeghanLindsay. It's never Meg And Lindsay, just meghanlindsay. And I love it!!

This is Meghan and me at soccer camp. You can tell who was really there to actually play. Meghan is up for any adventure, and I love that about her. Whether it is signing up for soccer camp just to go to St. George and hang out!! Meghan has always been there to support me and I love her for that!

And last but not least you HAVE to throw in a picture of Disney World!! No better place to spend time with your sister than the Happiest Place on Earth!!! Boy do we love this place!!
