JULY ALREADY?!

The Fourth of July was such a good time. I of course didn’t take any pictures so this is going to be a boring post but I still want to remember and look back on the things we did. We headed down to Lake Yuba Friday afternoon July 1st. We took the truck, 5th wheel, and the boat… we didn’t plan this but as we were getting all hitched up and ready to go I realized.. we are very patriotic people…Red boat, White trailer, Blue truck… as we headed down the freeway we were the RED, WHITE, and BLUE. It was very funny! We got to Yuba and got all set up, then our friends Broc and Breille showed up just in time to hit the water before it was too dark. They are such a fun couple to hang out with and we have a lot in common. It is fun to have a couple that are our age and no kids yet… that doesn’t happen a lot in UTAH. Most people our age have been married since they were 19 and have at least 1 or 2 kiddos, which I am not saying is a bad thing but it’s hard to find people that can do things with us without planning weeks in advance. Plus Breille and I have the same thoughts about water… we are good to be on the boat but don’t ask us to get in the water or do anything else in the water. Hanging out with everyone for the weekend was so fun. We had quite a few people camping with us and it was a blast! The water and weather were definitely a lot warmer then when we were there for Memorial Day. The wind wasn’t bad this weekend either! We had a lot of fun on the boat with the tube and surfing and even skiing… this was the first boat trip that had good enough water for Chris to finally break out the ski. This boating season hasn’t been the best as far as water goes… it seems like every time we go out the water is too rough to ski on so the boys end up tubing the whole time. They did have a lot of fun on the tube and once I figure out how to post video I have to post Broc and Chris wrecking on the tube! It was so funny and I laugh so hard every time I watch it! They fly off and skip across the water as they both scream like little girls!
We stayed in Yuba till Monday the 4th and I missed Jaxson’s birthday again. Jill was down at my parents’ house and they had a small party for him there. I still can’t believe he is 3! The years have gone by WAY TOO FAST! I am waiting to be an aunt again and I’m hoping it is soon, whether it is my lil sis Ashton or big sis Jill, someone needs to have a baby! And we all know it’s not going to be me! I want to hold a baby and smell baby, but hand it back when it cries or needs to be changed

this is the best picture i could get of Jaxson, he sees me with the camera and runs. he is such a punk but he it soooo big! The first picture was 3 years ago! wow what time can do!
After the Yuba trip and pulling doubles Chris has decided that he is down pulling doubles… I can’t say I blame him, specially trying to drive through all the construction on the freeways! So last week Chris went to an auction and found an AMAZING motorhome for and AMAZING deal… for the past week we have been weighing the pros and cons of a motorhome vs. 5th wheel… because the motorhome is such a great deal we think we will do it! Hopefully we will like having the motorhome. It is pretty nice inside and has 2 slides so it is very spacious. I will have to take pictures and post. But it will be sad to see the Zinger go… we had a lot of good times in this trailer. I will never forget the 1st time we took it camping… Utah lake… so fun and so many memories!

good bye Zinger, you will be missed! I loved the floor plan of this trailer and really hope the motorhome can compare.
We are in the middle of July and I am not ready for the summer nights to be done! I love sitting outside after work with husband and just enjoying the warm weather… we should really do yard work instead of sit but what fun it that! This weekend is my grandma’s 80th birthday! There is no way this woman is 80! She is such an amazing person and the best grandma ever! We will be celebrating her birthday at the park on Sunday. Then next weekend is the 24th of July and we will be heading to Utah Lake for the 1st camping trip in the motorhome. I hope it is fun and the weather will be nice! The next weekend is my mom’s 50th birthday! I can’t wait for this party! I just wish my back yard would weed itself so that it is presentable for this party!
