I Heart Lake Powell!

Every year we go to Lake Powell in Sept with Travis's Aunt and their fam and then his uncle and their fam. The weather was perfect! 90 degrees, and the water temp was 82. There was no wind. I could live there.
Late night games of Pitt. Doug said we sounded like the seagulls on Nemo.

The Fun Never Stops!!

We spent Labor Day weekend in St. George at our friends condo. It was such a blast. We did some biking, hiking, swimming, shopping, and lots of Rock band!!!! It was pretty pathetic how easily entertained we were by this game as you can tell! All night, all day.
Travis got pretty into it and started jumping on the couch.
We went hiking and climbing. It was so good to spend so much time outside.

Bo and Bronx. It was a little windy!!The kids found a frog, and at first, they were so scared of it and wouldn't even touch it. About 20 min later, they were squeezing it, and trying to feed it chips, and it was their best friend! Poor frog...

Just getting done eating at the best place ever!! The Bear Paw. Then the trip was complete!

The weekend before, we went to our friends cabin in Lava. And we can always count on the best times ever!

We started off by fishing at the Lava Ranch pond!Cute Scott and Jocie!!!We went swimming and floated down the river on tubes the next day. Travis and Nick on the top platform. They are insane!!
The 2 cutest little girls ever!! The best was when we found Travis playing house upstairs with these 2 girls. He was the dad. We spied on them, and he was fighting, saying he wanted to go fishing. It hit a little too close to home! It was so cute! We always have so much fun. It's one of those trips where everyone gets along and we dread having to go home.

CALIFORNIA!!!

This summer has been so busy, but we were able to finally squeeze in a quick trip to Cali! We drove, but I had my new Breaking Dawn book, so it was all good. (By the way, I'm pretty happy that there is finally some better action between Edward and Bella! It was painful to read before! I know the author is LDS and all, but seriously, way to get me all into it, and then, ---ruin it!!! ha ha haha!!) We started off our trip to The Grove Mall in Hollywood. Our main stop was for Travis's little sister Addie who turned 10 and wanted to go to the American Girl Doll store. This mall was amazing!! Love it!

Then we went to an Angels baseball game, and who do you think they were playing? The Yankees!!

P.S. My hair is darker now.
What's a game with out.... chew!!!
The next day we went to New Port beach. It was prefect weather! Travis always looks like this when he eats cookies. He's always flexing and sucking in. It's just natural!!!

Then we stayed our last night at Jeremy and Stefanie's house in Bakersfield. They have a pool and this is everyone playing the game where you have to push the other person off their floaty. Apparently is was pretty fun! Cause there is only one girl, yet all I heard was giggling and girl screams!! We had a blast!!

"Where The Good Things Are..."

Be sure to watch Good Things Utah next Fri July 25th! My sister will be showing her jewelry,(Tribal Jewelry) and some of us will be modeling it! It's on at 10:00 am on channel 4! I think it's abc.

P.S. No making fun!!!

Reunion at Kaibab and Grand Canyon

Last weekend we had a quick trip to Kaibab national forest for my mom's side family reunion. It is like 30 min from the North rim of the Grand canyon, so we headed down there also. We had it there because my Grandpa grew up near there. It's absolutely beautiful. 2 of my cute nephews, trying to act like they are up to nothing!
Us with my Grammy Nelson. She said she was wearing this vest the other day and went out and some girl asked her if she was a crossing guard.

Travis helping to make the best cheese potatoes. They have truly been mastered!!
Andrew is famous for his animal impersonations, here's a little taste of the bird lips!!
The master piece!
A reunion isn't complete without a game of horse shoes!! No body is ever good, but it's still always fun!I found my cute little brother escorting my Grammy to get her coat/vest. She held his arm the whole way, it was too cute!

On the trail to the over look at the North rim of the Grand Canyon.

Mom, my niece Ashlynn, and Me The view is so phenomenal!!

Definitely have to see it at least once in your life time!!!

River Rats

So we decided, that for the 4th, Travis and I wanted to do something, just the two of us since there has been so much going on this summer. We decided to take his boat down the Green River again, and to take our bikes, and to camp. So no fireworks this year, and you know, I don't really care.

He should seriously be a fish. The river was freezing, and it never even phased him. I even realized Gillespie has the word " Gill" in it.

I made a sweet set up, a bed, a couple of books and magazines,the sun, and food!!
We rode this little 3 mile trail. It wasn't too intense, but had a great view that you ride to.

I've decided that this is my new favorite thing to do. Floating is so relaxing and it's so beautiful. The weather was perfect, and Travis was happy because he was fishing. Camping was so fun too. I forgot how good tin foil dinners are!! So it was a great 4th and I hope all of yours were too!
