Heaven: Lake Powell

There are alot of things I would love heaven to include.... But I SURE HOPE Heaven has a Lake Powell in it! It is by far my favorite place to go.... next to Hawaii! We had a little reunion at the Lake and it was a total blast! Danon couldn't come because he was in Idaho on a fire :( Dang it!! But he was FINALLY able to buy a muzzleloader!! Most of my family weren't able to be there because of the new babies! But it was a serious blast to hang out with my most of my cousins and play kind of like we did when we were little. It's totally insane how time flies! The picture below is "The Crew" in front of the "Bevlorinda"! THANKS Mom & Dad for the amazing trip! Families are the Best!

The Farm


The other day Danon, Brycen and I ventured to Enterprise to pick some corn! We stopped by the farm and talked to his grandpa! It was quite fun & interesting! Danon seriously misses working on the farm a bit! He had a lot of fun memories growing up! When I win a lottery I would love to own a bunch of farm land (with a view) that has huge willow trees, a huge pond and an old country home with a wrap around porch! That would be heaven!

CaMpiNg!!

Last weekend we went camping up at the Hulet property and had a blast! Look what I caught Danon doing....

I swear that guy came out of the womb with a chainsaw strapped to him! I guess he's serious about this selling wood thing!! Probably because he wants... 2 more game scouting cameras, a muzzleloader & wood splitter. On saturday we played a serious game of spoons with everyone. I have never played it but it is a seriously intense and at times a brutal game! Carly won! Here are pics from our trip..

Update

It's been awhile since my last post and alot has happened... First off I was totally devestated by the plane crash that killed 10 Cedar City residents. I knew a few of them and my heart goes out to their families. I can't stop thinking about about how fragile life is. But I am so grateful for my knowledge of life after death and that families are forever.

While life can end so abruptly it can also happen so quickly! Both of my sister-in-laws had babies this month! Braxton & Gavin are so dang cute! It is so awesome to see new precious life! Congrats you guys! For those of you not keeping count that makes me an aunt to 7! Holy Cow is all I can say!

Danon became a "dedicated hunter" for the next three years and has been hunting every available second. So Sunday I decided to tag along and go camping with him at "The Peaks" I am not much a fan of "The Peaks" but went anyway we have to compromise! We hiked the next day of course and Danon is a dang mule! He treks up and down steep hills like it's nothing! And after he cuts wood while I read "country home magazine" in the truck! He didn't even ask me to help! I guess he could see I was in the middle of something important! Thanks Danon!!! Now with all the money you are saving us on our gas bill can I hire an interior decorator??

I thought I would never say this and Jamie will die when she reads this but I do enjoy lap swimming! It is the ULTIMATE workout! I even will get up at 5:30 am to do this crazy thing! January was the first time I had ever even tried on swim goggles besides to snorkel in and I couldn't even swim a lap I hated it! Now I can get in and actually swim! Hooray!! But wow it's been a road getting here! And yes Jamie you still can kick my can at swimming!
