When it rains..... IT POURS!

This weekend had good things but a lot of the weekend was filled with accidents; one thing after another! The weather for once was amazing on a holiday weekend. The lake was not as full of boats as I thought it would be and we were able to have good tube rides, ski rides, and surfing!
We were able to head out Friday morning and after stopping for gas, ice and last minute groceries made it to camp around 12 or 1. Since it was just Chris and I with my cousin and her family we headed out on their boat until our friends showed up. The water was nice and warm and the sun was hot and bright! We took the girls on a tube ride and Chris and Abe were able to tube. We got back to camp just in time for Broc and Breille to get there. While we were showing them how to turn the couch into their bed, Brody decided to be curious and stick his head in the couch… we didn’t notice till it was too late! He accidentally got his head smashed in the couch. Poor little guy! He was fine, and more scared than hurt. This was the first accident. Later we decided to make a quick trip on the water to watch the sun set, so Chris, Broc, Breille and I headed out. Chris was wearing Abe’s cowboy hat that he has had since he was about 11, he rodeo for years with this hat, got married in this hat and let’s just say the hat was irreplaceable. While heading back after sunset, there was a gust of wind and off came the hat! In the lake it went! It was completely dark and we tried so hard to find the hat but after about 20 minutes of looking through black water… we had to give up. Chris was really upset to say the least and was terrified of how Abe would react once we got back to camp and told him. When we finally loaded the boat “in the dark” and got back to camp Abe and his family were asleep, so we couldn’t tell them tell morning. Chris was upset and wasn’t able to sleep that great that night. Then to end the night, Chris had just replaced some lock type things on the closet doors in the motorhome and I accidental broke one off… so that was the end of the first day… we should have packed up and tried again another day.
Saturday we woke up and met some of Breilles friends for a morning/noonish boat ride… on the way to find good water, a towel flew out of the boat and sunk so fast, another accident. Later that day came the worst accident.... we had taken brody and Tink with us on a short boat ride. On the way back to camp Chris and I were standing on the back of the truck and both kids were in the boat… somehow Tink fell/jumped from the boat. Chris jumped off the truck after her as I yelled to stop the truck! When I looked back I saw Tink rolling down the road. I thought for sure we had run her over with the boat trailer. Once the truck had stopped and I ran to Chris and Tink she was bleeding from the mouth and sitting on the road not walking… I was hysterical… this is as close to a kid as I may ever get… this is my baby! We were able to get her walking and took her to the bathrooms to clean her up. She missed the tires of the boat trailer by about 2 inches “no exaggeration” … she must have landed right on her face and her tooth was knocked lose which caused the blood. Amazingly she is fine! She is walking and running and dancing on her back legs like nothing is wrong… this dog has some pretty good angles watching over her! The next and last day at the lake we were ready for some good fun with no accidents… the water was glass so everyone wanted to ski. Broc was putting on the ski when the boot on the ski broke! We were done! After a couple good ski rides for Broc, Chris and Richard we decided to cut the trip short and head home on Sunday. Even though we planned to stay till Monday we had had enough and needed to leave before something worse might happen!
The weekend was good and we had a lot of fun and got a lot of sun! but Tink is no longer welcome on the boat and we are going to be fixing a lot before heading back out for boating/camping! Hopefully next trip will be less eventful! Happy 24th of July everyone! Hope yours was less tragic than mine!

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!

My Child and the weekend

don't I have the cutest kid! This weekend was filled with fun times. Friday night I played Bunko and had such a good time with the girls! I even won for having the most Bunko's! yea me! Saturday me and my sister hung out during the day and then went to dinner. While at dinner, Chris was hangin at the shop with the other husbands and this was the picture I got sent... he is such a kid! they were racing each other on little pocket bikes! silly boys! but at least they were having fun. We decided to go boating on Sunday and it was suppose to be really nice weather! we got there and the water was full of white caps! it was so scary! we went really slow across the water and even though we were going slow the boat would crash again the waves and send a giant wall of water over the boat and all of us would get soaked! i don't think i have gotten that wet while staying in the boat! the boys were able to get on the tube and get tossed off a couple of times but it was hard on the boat! everytime the tube would be on track to hit a massive wave i would have to slow the boat down and they would just glide over the top of wave! hopefully this weekend will be full of fun, warm weather and water, and not alot of boats to create boat waves on the water.

Where to start.....

This weather has been absolutely amazing! Nothing too exciting has been happening other than the Dallas Mavericks beating the Miami Heat in the NBA championships! That was the best! I loved that the CRY baby heat didn’t win! It happened on a Sunday night so we couldn’t celebrate too much because we had work the next day but husband was so happy that the heat didn’t win and that makes me happy cuz I didn’t have to deal with his grumpy ass! June is almost over and it has been pretty busy. My little sister came up one of these past weekends and we had a BBQ and had a blast enjoying the nice weather! We were able to have people over and sit by the campfire and listen to tunes, camping in the back yard! So fun! Ashton liked taking pictures and I really need to be better at taking pictures..

This last weekend we went to our friend Trevor’s birthday party! It was really fun and they had a great turn out! lots of people were there and they had a KEG! It was pretty entertaining being sober and watching how silly people are when they drink too much! I would say it was a successful party because I guess after we left the cops showed up! you know you threw one hell of a party when you have a Keg and the cops there!
The next week nothing too exciting is happening, playing bunko on Friday and then boating on Sunday! the weather should be impeccable ! Saturday night is still in the air on what we are going to do… then next weekend is the 4th of July weekend! I can’t believe how fast the summer months go! It SUCKS! Jaxson will be 3 on the 1st of July and he is getting so big! We plan to head down to Lake Yuba again for the 4th weekend so hopefully the water and weather will be a lot warmer than it was over memorial.. ..and hopefully I will take cute pictures! I need to quit talking about pictures and just take some already! ! The only other thing really to blog about is my new obsession with THE HUNGER GAMES!!!It has been quite awhile since I have not been able to put a book down so when I found this book I wasn’t expecting anything great…. last night I couldn’t put it down! There were parts where I wanted to cry and then laugh and then punch something! I LOVE THIS BOOK!! I read pretty much the whole night from the time I got home from work to the time I went to bed, beside a small break to cook and eat dinner! I am almost finished with the first book and can’t wait to start on the second!

Memorial Weekend/Summer!

Summer is officially here… I think; can’t really be too sure because after all we are in Utah.
Memorial weekend was such a fun weekend! After a kind of rough start, “we had to replace axels and tires on the trailer before we left,” we made it there! We all had such a good time and the weather was WAY better than we had expected! The nights were a little cold and windy and the water was WAY too cold to swim and play in but we had fun fishing, hanging on the boat and just being away from home! Trevor and Ashley were a lot of fun to hang out with and I am really happy they came with us! We got there late Friday night and played Taboo in the trailer because it was windy and we couldn’t start a fire, then Saturday we headed out on the boat did some fishing, and the brave boys went on the tube for a little bit. I forgot to pack Chris’ swim shorts so he wore his pj pants on the tube and it was pretty hilarious! Saturday night was again pretty windy so we had a movie night in the trailer. At Yuba they have power and water hook ups so we didn’t have to worry about the noisy generator while watching the movie! It was quite and so nice not to have to go out in the wind and turn it on and off! Sunday came and the weather was not looking good, we took the boat out for a bit and it was so windy and cold we decided to come back and hang at camp. We played newlywed game that night and Trevor and Ashley kicked all our butts and won the game! Monday we woke up and headed home trying to beat traffic! It turned out to be a great weekend!


This last weekend we took the boat out to Utah Lake….. the weather was amazing! It was so hot and no wind! We went with our friends Broc and Breiel who brought their puppies and had a great day! I tried to take some cute pictures of their little family, they were all out on the tube, it was so cute but it was so bright I couldn’t really see how the pictures turned out… wish they were a little better but they are still really cute! I love that it is June, and in the pictures you can still see so much snow is on the mountains!

I love summer time and I love that it stays light till so late! There are tons of things to look forward to this summer, June is here and I’m sure we will be to the lake a lot of the weekends, and then in July we have Jaxson’s 3rd birthday, my dad’d birthday and my mom’s 50th birthday! We are doing a party for my mom’s birthday and it is going to be EPIC!! “sssshhhh it’s a secrete” July and August will include more camping/boating trips probably to Yuba, maybe to the gorge?? And then in September it is our 2 year anniversary! I am trying to plan something really fun and memorable… any ideas let me know! we can’t really take a lot of time off work to go anywhere because Chris is super busy in September and the RV Show is the week before our anniversary so he will be super busy wrapping that up!

4 day weekend! !

I’m getting pretty excited for this weekend! 4 days off of work! we are heading down to Lake Yuba for the weekend with Cory and Abe and their kids and our friends Trevor and Ashley are going to come with us too! It is going to be really fun or at least we are going to try and make it be really fun! the weather of course will probably not cooperate because after all… it is a holiday weekend and we want nice weather so more than likely it will rain.. I don’t care though.. I’m going to make it fun no matter what the weather has in store! We have trailers that we can hang in and watch movies or play cards and games… I am going to make the best of it… plus fishing in the rain is the best! I hope to remember to take lots of fun pictures so I can post later!

Gaga/Easter/Chris’ B-day/ Summer!!

Lately there has been a lot on my mind but I can’t ever seem to write it down! Lots has happened since I blogged last time but I am so bad at remembering to take pictures that I haven’t wanted to blog.
The Gaga concert came and went and it was probably one of the best concerts I have ever seen and the next time she come to Utah or close to Utah my sister’s and I have already decided we are going to spend more money for good tickets and see her show again! It was such a fun night with my sisters; we went to dinner and then the concert and then stayed at the Hilton hotel that night!

Then came Chris’ birthday and Easter! For the past… 3 years maybe, we have camped with my cousins “Cory and Abe” and my sister “Jill and Dust and Jax” out at five mile pass for Easter. We have such a fun time every year even though the last couple years have been freezing! This year Easter was so late that we were hoping for better weather. We always send the boys out Thursday night and they get everything set up and have “guy time” before us girls and the kids come out on Friday. Friday was Chris’ Birthday he is the big 24 now… he is growing up so fast, ha ha… not really, but anyway when I got out there I gave him his b-day present which he thought was hilarious “again bad at taking a picture and words just can’t describe his present” and then we had oreo cake “his favorite” The weather was so nice on Friday afternoon, we went on four wheeler rides, played horse shoes and just hung out in the sun! Then Chris got a call and he had to go into work on Saturday “LAME” he wasn’t very happy but ended up only working for about 4 hours and then it was back to camping! The Easter bunny came Saturday night and hid eggs and threw candy all over the camp ground! The kids had a blast! Of course my kids loved to find the candy on the ground that everyone else’s kids missed.
playing horse shoes and Tink soakin in the sun on the 4-wheeler!

April is over and I hope it took the snow and crappy weather with it! May is here and there are so many fun things to look forward to! This weekend is Mother’s day and instead of taking the weekend and going shopping in Park City we are going to be money smart and just go hang out at my mom’s house. It is always relaxing and a nice mini-vacation at Mom’s. Then we have a wedding reception the next weekend, then a free weekend “so far” and the next weekend is Memorial Day so we are going camping/boating at Yuba Lake. This will be the kickoff to summer and boating season! I am really hoping the weather is going to be nice for boating! Summer is almost here and that means every weekend is going to be booked! I love it but it goes by way too fast!
I LOVE this picture... I always see pictures of "dads holding their babies while they are fast asleep" well since this is our baby this is my picture... they were both sleeping so hard! Brody was snuggled right up! it was cute!
