life as the wife of a McAllister....

IS AMAZING OF COURSE!!!


Camping at Toquerville Falls!
there's just somethin about being alone in a desolate, beautiful place that kirk and I can't get enough of! and boy-this night turned into one we'll always remember! somehow we managed to eat our tin-foil dinners (still half frozen might i add :) ), ride Daisy up and down the river-bed(our biggest dirt bike), catch a frog (it was so cute and little! and he was making really funny squeaky sounds), see a shooting star & make a wish, then settle in the bed of the truck for more star gazing and cuddle time..... i love our long conversations under the stars... i love the love we share of the Gospel and it's Eternities. ...after our Testimonies calmed we slowly fell alseep, snug and close. ...until 5:45am-when the rain came. And of course, when it rains it POURS-just the way we like it! i woke up first to the rain probably because i'm a light sleeper. so i just waited a minute to see if it would stop or if kirk would wake up-whichever would come first. neither ever happened! i think the sound of raindrops hitting the sleeping bag was more relaxing then anything! but the rain kept coming! so i poked kirk ONCE and he woke right up! hahahaha and we threw everything inside the truck and cuddle up in the driver seat and just listened. we knew somehow we were going to have to get the dirt bike back in the truck through the pouring, cold rain then pop'er in 4wheel drive to get out of the mud... but waiting made it way more exciting! and boy am i pampered to have kirk as my husband, he wouldn't let me lift a finger while he loaded everything up! he's so awesome like that! ThEN we left. we took our time coming home, making detours wherever we fancied. one included hot chocolate and donuts...awhhh a perfect breakfast after the history of the mornin! another was a stop for Kirk to show me where he got my mother's day gift! thennn we came home and snuggle back up in our warm bed where we slept until noon. :) now that's our version of livin the life!



















RODEO! YEeeEhAW!
St Georges' Best summer past time! No where else we'd rather be on a Saturday night...even after a LONG LONG day of work. i was so stinkin tired that we almost didnt' go -good thing I married an INCREDIBLE man that keeps me straight! Nevermind a CAN of diet coke is $2!!

one thing i liked about this rodeo is the Mini Bull Riders. it's so fun to watch all the little cowboys ride baby bulls. they're alwasy SO proud of themselves...the way they should be!





what's life without HIKING!?!
This was SO fun!! we strapped on our shoes, grabbed a soda and this is where we ended up! We couldn't tell ya where we were because we didnt' know! which is why we made up our own name for this random trail...."The Hanky Pank"...name after the ba-jillion loud, small and crazy frogs we found EVERYWHERE! plus lizards, bats and we even saw an Owl! But you know what we're talkin about, remember that one song??? 'down by the rivers of the hanky-pank, where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank singing EE-EE-aw-aw-O-O-oo-oo...' -that's the one! so that's where we were! kirk and i couldn't stop thinking about how fun it would be to bring our nephew Ky next time. he would LOVE it there!!




















just whistle while you WORK work WORK!
aint no place i'ld rather be if i have to leave kirk!
there's just somthin special, spiritual, & sweet about little children and new babies! are we not blessed each and every minute we get to share with them, teach them, grow from them and love them? I think it's a smiliar feeling Christ felt for them, and the same reason why He always called them children to sit upon His knee :)









ps. excuse my horrible spelling and grammer would ya!? i tend to not pay attention to, nor care about it when i blog usually! i prefer to not make blogging a huge priority or time consuming project, which is why it's sooo sloppy!
