Fun Weekend Camping

This last weekend we all decided to go camping for the weekend up Gooseberry in Fairview Canyon. It was so much fun. It was quiet, relaxing, and so much fun. We sat around the fire on Friday night until about 2:30 a.m. which is probably the latest I have stayed up in almost a year, it was crazy!! We made smores and just visited with everyone, it was a great time. I hope we do it again soon.

All the guys played horseshoes... my honey needs a little more practice :-)

My Husband And I- he hates taking pictures.

Camping was so much fun, I love summer for camping, and everything else about summer. Soon we are going to have a girls only camping trip and I am so excited... even though the guys think that it is an impossible feat... we are gonna do it!!!

So this past weekend was pretty eventful.... We celebrated Lacey Kogaines' bachelorette party, which was a total blast. Lindsay planned some really fun games, ( they involved cucumbers, bananas, and a few other things), I got some pictures, but decided not to post them.... ;-) We had so much fun visiting, and most of all dancing and karaoke-ing. It was a really fun girls night!!

The Bachelorette herself :-)

Linds and Rak

My sister and I ( she was supposed to be dancing )

Easton really did have so much fun, he was dancing right along with us, but I think he was pooped!!!

Aubs and I

My Sista- Love Her

Linds and Rak.... saluting the flag !!!

Yeah Rak is a crazy girl:-)

On Sunday, my dad got tickets for all of us to go to the Salt Lake Bees game. It was so much fun to go the game and spend the day with my family!!! We had great seats and were shaded the entire game which was so nice. Thanks Dad, we all had a blast!!

After the game we went and ate yummy food at the Olive Garden. It was really yummy!! We learned this funky way to fold napkins that sorta makes the napkins look like a pair of ya-ya's. We learned it in California with my dad's birth mother Annelyse... so now, everywhere we go one of us is bound to fold our napkin into this shape... well my little brother did it and put it on the other brothers head... it was great :-)

FINALLY.....

Yes, everyone who has been after me, I am finally posting!!! I'm so sorry, life has been crazy busy!! So brace yourselves, there are sorta a lot of pictures and stories :-)

Linds beat me to this post, but it was such a fun night I just can't not post about it. We had planned a night on the mountain, but the weather being the lovely weather that it was, we had to improvise. We had a camp-out under The Beesley's garage. We did leave Tim and Cory in charge of the dutch oven... kinda scary I know!!! I think that they got more visiting and talking done than anything :-) The dutch oven was so YuMmY!! Afterwards we rented Seven Pounds and watched it on their new BIG SCREEN in their awesome new basement. The movie was awesome, it had a really good message to it but it was really sad as well... Thanks Tim and Linds for an awesome night out, we need to do it more often!!!

Cory and Tim spent about twenty minutes tryin to figure out the surround sound and dvd player, Linds and I were just getting a kick out of watching them. They would both think they had it figured out, and then... OoPs wrong button or cord. They make quite the pair. Cory actually gave up on getting it to work, but Tim perservered and we watched the movie with great sound :-) Tim and Kray :-)

Cory and Tim, being the amazing chefs they were born to be :-) On Memorial Day, we had a family breakfast cookout with Cory's family. It was so much fun and the food was delicious!! Hopefully they make this a tradition. His family is so cute and fun I just love them!!

We had fun making paper airplanes and the kids were going crazy with them.

Dalton doin what he does best :-)

Treyson sat here watching Cory all morning, he was just fascinated....

..... Or maybe he just knew that eventually he'd get a ride!!

Treyson and I- such a cute little guy :-)


Later on that day I stopped by the veterans memorial in Mount Pleasant to see my grandpa. They had been doing all of the memorial services for the day and this was their last stop. It was really awesome to see all of these men who have served our country stand together and salute our flag. I am so grateful for the sacrifices that they made, and for the sacrifices that are continually being made by millions of soldiers today.

My grandpa is second from the right ( next to the guy with the trumpet ). He served in Vietnam. I wish I knew more, but he doesn't talk about it- AT ALL!! So i just respect that. He is such a great man and I love him dearly. He looked so handsome all dressed up too!!!

Easter Weekend

I have been really slow at posting about Easter this year, but we had so much fun!! We decided last minute to head out to the Sand Dunes, and it was really worth the trip. We had a lot of fun camping and riding our four wheelers!! The weather wasn't even bad, at least not as bad as I had expected. Friday and Sunday were both beautiful days... Saturday was overcast all day, and it did sprinkle a little Saturday night.. just enough to settle the dust :-) It was so much fun. I was mad at myself though because I didn't realize it until we were out there, but my camera battery was almost dead, so I didn't get many pictures and I am totally bummed out!!!

My Sister came out with us and spent the weekend, it was so awesome to have her, she's the best!!

These are pics of Cor jumping his 4-wheeler, he had a blast... and even managed to wreck the Raptor... :-(

Sand Hollow Trip- LOTS OF PICTURES

This past weekend we went to Sand Hollow with Cory's parents and two of his adorable nephews!! It was so much fun, and so awesome to get away for a weekend. We left Friday and intended to get down there about 1 in the afternoon, but we didn't end up getting there until about 5 that day!! We were running a little late to begin with, but then we made it all the way to Nephi and Cory realized that he forgot his air filters for the Banshee, so we had to drive all the way back to Mount Pleasant to get them, then all the way back to Nephi and then we were finally on our way!! FINALLY!!

Cor and I

So we got down there and the weather wasn't the greatest on Friday, so we just had dinner and hung out in the trailer to stay out of the rain. Saturday was an awesome day! The weather was perfect and we had so much fun. It really is such a fun place! I wish we had a boat so that we could enjoy everything down there, but it was still so fun! We went riding ALL day on Saturday! There are tons of Sand Dunes that we had fun riding, and then there are these huge rocks just everywhere that you can climb on! It was so much fun and I really want to go back down!! Hopefully we'll be able to make it again this year!!!

Cory's Dad and Treyson

Cory's Mom and Morgan

Treyson and Cor

I thought this bug was freakin awesome!! He had towed the Sand Buggy with his little bug and they were both awesome and the prettiest blue!!

Sand, Mountains, and Water- what more could you ask for!!

This was looking off of a huge ledge down onto the sand dunes and rocks- you can't really tell I'm that high up though...

Again from the ledge- just another direction!

I took this picture as we were leaving I just thought it was a pretty picture!

I am pretty sure these are Joshua Trees- but they were every random place you could think of!

This is Cory climbing one of the Sand Dunes!!

We had so much fun climbing all over the rocks- it was so cool! I wish it would have been warmer so we could get IN the water, but it was really cool because you could get out to where it was pretty deep just by walking on the rocks. Boats would actually dock by the rocks because the water was deep enough!!

Treyson and I

Cory called this one "Simba Rock" he wanted to walk out on it and hold Treyson out like Simba on the Lion King, but once he got on top of it he realized he couldn't walk out on it. It was only like 2 inches wide!

**Tagged**

Okay, sorry to everyone who has tagged me... I know I haven't kept up!! But here goes.. this was a hard one...
10 HONEST, and INTERESTING things about myself.....

1- I HATE Tomatoes!! Yes, HATE!! I seriously don't know how anyone can eat them- they disgust me!!

2- I am usually home all week by myself because of Cory's work... I get bored so I work three jobs to keep myself almost too busy!! ( Yes, we need a baby! )

3- I cannot, CANNOT just sit and relax or watch T.V.- I always feel like I have to be moving or doing something- maybe there is something wrong with me who knows!!

4- I have found a newfound interest and love in the gospel! Growing up I wasn't sure this would ever happen, but it has and now I just can't get enough!!!

5- I am a VERY sociable person! I love spending time with family and friends!

6- I am very accident prone!! Seriously though- Clutz might be a better description!!

7-I really wish that I could quit working and just tag along with Cory wherever he is working, I miss him so much all week it drives me crazy!!

8- I don't miss High School much at all, but I miss all the sports I used to play!! Really MISS them, like if I had the opportunity to play Softball, Soccer, or Basketball ( competetive ) I would probably drop everything in a second!!

9- I really want to have a baby- I just am not sure when that is going to happen- not yet but hopefully sometime in my five-year future!!

10- I have the best family and friends in the world! They are so amazing and life would be so utterly boring without them all!!

**** I Tag whomever hasn't already been tagged with this one--- it seems everyone already has-- but if you haven't-- YES- This One Is For YOU!!!******
