Fantastic Friends!

Living at home can have its perks...and my favorite one is getting to be around my best friends from high school...jr. high...and elementary school! I couldn't have survived without them and still love to be around them. We are a bit crazy when we get together and I love every minute of it;). Before I left back to school we got together at my house and had a swimming party and catch up on our hectic lives. And of course took some pics. 
Jessyka, Abby, Roux, Me, and April (we missed you sissa!)
The hot tub...where we used to have many truth or dare late nights and tell our deep dark secrets:)
Scott and his little brother Steven got to witness our craziness...but they were'nt that normal themselves. 
Scott just rebuilt the skirt for the hot tub, it is ancient (we've had it since I was 7 or 8 years old).

Roux, Me, and Jess at Battlecreek falls. 

Marissa, Jess, April, (me (don't ask me what I'm doing) and Roux. We used to go up to the falls all the time, we even repelled down t! Battlecreek falls

Yuba Lake

This weekend we decided to take a kid's trip to Yuba Lake...No parents allowed :).  We boated all day, partied all night, then got sunburned and burnt out. We had an awesome time and can't wait to go next year! 
In the bathroom, a ginormous pregnant black widow was found. The boys goal was to catch it alive, and they walked back to camp victorious. 
Then they burned it alive. 
We had roasted starbursts...yumm!!

SAY CHEESE!

What's a summer without vacations and family!? I recently flew up to Washington with my mom to spend  a week at my grandparent's house. While I was gone Scott took my little bros. to a John Mayer concert with Colbie Callet opening. Jelous. They had tons of fun and tried to lose their voices.  After my mom left I stayed with my grandparents and had a quiet weekend until Scott flew up for his family reunion (Scott's family lives in the same town as all my mom's family). The first day we picked up Scott's brother Stephen up from the airport. He was returning from his mission in Korea!  The next day we went boating at Fish Hook Lake, then the next we went to the Hydroplane races. After that we had lots of family gatherings and his sister Amy's 27th birthday. It was a crazy but awesome week.  And really good to see family!

LAKE POWELL LOVE

Over the 4th of July weekend, Scott and I went with my fam, some cousins, and some neighbors to Lake Powell for a full week.  We camped (no houseboat) and had an amazing time! Me, Scott, and my little brothers took a trip on the waverunners to our old spot we used to camp, "Blue Lagoon".  Since the water is so low now, we had to hike way back in. In our secret spot when we were little, we found all our old carvings from when I was 13 years old. Ok, so back then I defaced Lake Powell, but it was worth it to come back! 
The peace sign I used to think was cool that my cousin Matt could draw. 

The Journey Home

Well, we decided to leave NY and come home to Orem to finish out the summer.  We had an amazing time in NY and will miss good friends but we were ready to leave.  My family and us went to Palmyra and got to go to the Sacred Grove. From their they flew home (lucky ducks) and we made the long drive. We stopped in Kirtland and Nauvoo and got to see the sites and go to the temple. It was a long drive but fun for Scott and I to get to spend so much time together! And it was so good to see the Rocky Mts.!!!  The slideshow below is pics. of the drive home.

New York

Our Two Year Anniversary! We went to Wicked to celebrate early, but on the actual day Scott took me out to breakfast, then we both had to work. After we went to dinner and a movie. We had such a great time! Two years flew by for us and we are excited for more to come. I love the quote, "Happiness is being married to your best friend."  I had people warn me that the first few years of marriage were really hard and a big adjustment, but we just love it! 
My mom, two younger bros, sister, and her darling baby came to visit for a week. We spent two days touring in NYC and having a blast. This is Scott and I kissing on top of the Empire State Building :).

Just chillin at the beach.
We rode around both days in a double decker bus. It was quite fun. 

WICKED!!

To Celebrate our two year anniversary a little early, we went to Wicked!!  It was AMAZING and worth every penny.  After it was over we wanted to stay in our seats and watch the whole thing over again. I would recommend it to anyone!! When we went to Manhatten it was very hot with way too much humidity, I'd take 110 degrees in Orem over 80 degrees out here in any day. After we barely made it to the play (we went to the train station and realized we forgot our tickets), we walked around for a while and ate at Planet Hollywood.  It was a great day, and it all started off with Scott singing a duet in Sacrament meeting, which was awesome!

Here is Scott next to the giant piano they used in the movie BIG, if anyone remembers it. He was pretty excited to see it and be able to touch it. I was a little disappointed it didn't actually play music. Planet Hollywood had some pretty sweet stuff in it. 
Ok, so we weren't supposed to take pictures at the play, but we snuck one in before it started. It was pretty darn cool. 

As for me, Kaylee, I am loving New York. I love sightseeing and only working part time. When I do work, I nanny for two little girls, Claire (7) and Lauren (5), I feel like I am six years old again. I play Barbies and mermaids and High School Musical II. When I play barbies we do one of three things, get married, go to the old west, or a bar. The girls are pretty spoiled but have their sweet moments. They call me KK. I took the girls out riding bikes and ended up getting a tick in my head. I pretty much thought the world was going to end, but I'm over it now. And I don't have Lyme's disease, at least no signs of it... I hate ticks. But other then that I just hang out and go to the pool or work on my online class. Very relaxing and wonderful.  

The more Scott has to work, the more not so fond of the job he is getting. He is sick of being told no all day and the heat. I don't blame him. But we are having a great time and loving life and being married for almost two whole years!
