back to gulag.

well, this post is clearly long overdue.

school has started!

remember this?
first day of school last year,
sooo cute and sooo excited and sooo adorable.
we have like the same name and everything.

anyway,
this was us on monday:


last year:

last year:


it's kind of like those games
on the back of cereal boxes.
"find the 5 differences between the pictures."
shorter and longer hair,
practically all grown up,
and significantly less enthusiastic.
same door in the background, though.

oops. that's only three.
oh well.

anyway,
our first week has gone just about
how we thought it would go.

buuuut, back-tracking even further,
our last weekend of summer,
we met up with some coolio friends,
swam, hiked, slept, and ate out every night.
yeeee.
it was like our end-of-summer celebration.

of course, you already know how we like to celebrate,
and how we find every excuse to do so,
so monday night we decided to eat out again.
we are certainly living on the edge.
we're just that type.

so this week we've had some shocking experiences,
and some pretty average ones too.
we're hoping things will just slowly level out
into a significantly less exciting,
and more monotonous schedule.

well, hw time.

oh, and john mayer was at the apple store.
just sayin'.

---taylor & taylor.

our favorite kind of party.

happy birthday,
taylor squared!

yep, that's right.
today is our blog's first birthday/anniversary.
(we prefer "birthday."
anniversaries make us nervous).

anywho, our little baby is growin' up.
actually...nevermnd.
let's not make comparisons to babies.
or anniversaries.

we'll show you some pictures
of how we celebrated soon.

lata, skata(s).

we love that---taylor and taylor.

shackleton's incredible voyage.

life happens.

we deal with it.


"fat is a natural, built-in belt." ---taylor o.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

mockingjay.

one word:

mockingjay.

consider it read.
check.


"well, now we see why i don't like to take reading breaks. it's much better to read about katniss and her adventures than to face the reality of my pathetic little life. so... back to mockingjay. sorry to keep you waiting, gale."

twilight is so last year.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

wut up, bruddah?

it's a world of laughter,
a world of tears.
it's a world of hopes,
and a world of fears.
there's so much that we share,
and it's time we're aware,
it's a small world after all.

karissa just got home from jerusalem,
and holly is back from ta-ta-ta-thailand.
ben is in tokyo,
and the other ben is in paris.
thatcher is in new mexico,
and shalaya is in colorado.
(annnnnd it's her birthday today---haps 20th, girl).
stuart's in missurah.
isaac's off to brassssil,
and so. is. millie.

there is just one moon,
and one golden sun,
and a smile means
friendship to everyone.
though the mountains divide,
and the oceans are wide,
it's a small world after all.

dylan is off to south africa,
and allie is already in africa.
the other ally is in india,
and lisa will be in london.
hillary will be in ohio soon,
and philip's already there.
we've got cousins in texas,
friends in alaska,
a gurl in washington,
and acquaintances off to
china, london, canada, and new york.

as for us,
and as we said before,
all roads lead to provo.
and that's just the way we like it.

it's a small world, after all.

---taylor & taylor.

P.S. did we even MENTION all our friends in logan???
well, consider them mentioned.
