Again, Again!

This past week has been so GREAT!

The boss was on family vacation this week so I had the whole week off and it was great. Sean and Lauren were out of town and Tank got to hang out with mom and me for the week so it was just magical. We got to hang around all day playing with his toy while watching T.V. (ps.... day time TV is terrible.) and go on plenty of walks. He is such a lazy pup. the first walk he made it the whole mile around the neighborhood, next time about 3/4th before he stopped and would not move until I walked back the way we had already gone. The last walk I attempted to take him on we only got as far as the front yard where he took off into the ivy covering the garden and would not move and inch. it was so funny I had to get a pic because he looked so dang cute!

 

Whitney and I took him on a real adventure. He got to go to SLCC with me to pick up my english book. Then we stopped to get some delightful lunch. As a special treat for him we stopped at petsmart and get some new bones for him to munch on. He pretty much ate them in about an hour then kept trying to hide his bone all over the house. Funniest thing ever!

He sure loved the car ride!

I got to ditch out on the puppy a little early in the week to go back to

LAKE POWELL!!!!

Have I told you how much I love that place? I do so very much! We went down thurs night to sunday afternoon. Always a good time. sitting around on the house boat soaking up the sun and eating lots of yum treats in the company of friends is always great.

We hiked back up to the arch we went to last time,everyone else went cliff jumping, lots of wake surfing and wake boarding,, naps all after noon, Pushed rocks off huge cliffs ( because its fun?) and made Andy's mohawk look really sweet.

Had the best road trip home EVER:

1. Lunch at Arbys in Panguich

2. Soaked up the sun at the hot pots in Fillmore.

 3. Enjoyed a show at a rope swing in Mona.

4. Dinner at Ruby River in Provo

5. Hot tubing at Jelissa's house in Murray

It made the drive so much longer but it really was so much fun. Sadly I sucked at taking pics this entire trip and I didn't get any photos of these magical adventures but I loved every minute of it.

Thanks Katie and Stain!!

Whitney...

Happy Birthday!!

to my sister:

Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you the most, or when I just needed someone to laugh at my pathetic moments with me.

You are the best! Cant believe your 27.

love, me.

To celebrate whitney, mom, and I went to a lovely dinner at Cheesecake Factory (mmmmm..) and got massages from Sanctuary Day Spa. It was so relaxing and greatly needed!

Lovin It...

Lake Powell is the greatest place. It's so much fun to just go and hang out with friends and have a grand time! We had the opportunity to go down and stay on Katie and Stain Reichman's house boat for Memorial weekend. The water was FREEZING cold so jumping in was really hard to do. I did get a little surfing in while we were down there and felt pretty good about it. Most of the time we just sat around being lazy in the warm sunshine and eating everything in sight (and I do mean eve.ry.thing) So delicious! The boys flew kites a lot because it was super windy the first few days we were down there. Went for a little hike to an arch that was really fun to see. Brynn and I did our hair in pretty braids for Andy because he loves them. We laughed the whole time down there and I cant wait to go back!

Here are a few fun pics from the trip

Dear Stain and Katie:

Thank you for letting us come along on the magical trip. It was so much fun. I hope we do it again (soon) :)

love, me

Beep Beep...

This weekend was so much fun! I went to Moab with my whole dads side of the family to go rock crawling in the jeeps. I finally got to feel the warmth of the sunshine this year and it was a.maz.ing! This year was especially nice because I finally got to drive on the trails. we did Sevenmile Rim, Rosegarden Hill, Flat Iron Mesa, and Kane Creek the last day. Sevenmile is the one that I got to rock! Its a easy starter one....Rick said it was my training wheels. But I loved every min. of it. The last big part was super scary. The hill was super sketch!! We didn't even have to go down it because they just came right back up.... but I put on my big girl panties and went for it! Dad gave me some great pointers as in "left" "right" "forward" and at one point I was facing straight down at the on-coming rock bottom with my back tires off the ground waving in the wind (literally... I could feel it teetering. Poop myself!)

Rick had a few problems with his jeep because he loooooves to push it to the limit. Sadly he pushed it a little far and poped some widget or other. But we didn't let it slow us down!! We did have to cut the trail a little short. But as we got to the end suddenly Ricks jeep was covered in silly string. So naturally we had to plot! After a really funny ride to the local market with Rick and Catherine we came up with a great idea. And to make it even better Todd's jeep was parked right outside!!

12 rolls of toilet paper and a lot of giggles later we got our first attack. we later got them with silly string but the toilet paper was by far the best.

Moab is the greatest! Even though you are bouncing around in the back of a jeep getting major whiplash, it seems to be magical. With the red rocks, nice sunshine streaming down, and twinkling starlight at night....its blissful.

mothers day

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

to all.

We started with breakfast up Millcreek Canyon in the beautiful sunshine with the fowler fam.

Then came home and took a nice little nap!!

Sean and Lauren came up for the weekend to celebrate and brought chubby lil' Tank with them.

We made a delightful dinner. Ravioli stuffed with lobster and gruyere topped with marinara sauce, green beans, and garlic bread. Mango shakes for dessert! Yummy.

Happy mothers day mom! Love you so much for all you do!

ConGraduations

I'm so excited for all my friends that are graduating from collage this spring.

 Katie, Emma, and Brynn.
(to name a few!)

 I am a tiny jealous because I still have forever left in school. But I did have the pleasure of attending Brynn's Nursing graduation ceremony at SLCC. We have been besties since we were 4 years old so we have always been their to represent and support each other through it all!

A blast from the past.

(first day of school in 5th grade)

Eating at Cheese Cake Factory with her family before

The official grad pin and all

If you know me at all you know I heart scrapbooking and making my friends gifts for pressies. I'll post pics of some things I have made at a later time. But I made her a "b" for Brynn and some frames as a gift. I like to think they ended up looking pretty dang cute if I do say so myself!

Congrats to everyone who is done with school!! Super jealous of all of you.
