Summer Time- Part 3

 After a fun week with my in laws and family, my amazing husband let me stay three weeks with my family. Poor guy, I know that was a huge sacrifice, and although I missed him a ton, I loved that I got to spend that time with family. Especially my little brother. The baby of the family is all grown up and now on his mission serving in the Scottsdale AZ, spanish speaking mission.

Before he left we got in some really fun activities.

I tried my hand out at golf (my brother and dad are HUGE golfing fanatics. I really have never met anyone who loves the game more than they do.) Turns out I am pretty good- with a lot of direction. I had a golfing high I wanted to go again the next day, it was so much fun!

We also spent pretty much every day either at the Lake or playing in the river. Paddle boarding is my new favorite thing. It's so calming. I especially love when the paddle hits the water and makes those swirls. So fun!

 We are goobers

 Such a pretty course

 Noah, Jakey and Ajers

 The best dog in all the world! This sweetie loves water just as much as I do!

 Kayaking and catching fish

 I tried snails for the first time at this French restaurant, it was not my thing.

 The BEST doughnuts y'all! So tasty 

My stud of a grandpa when he was a young man. He has been gone for over 10 years now, but oh, how I loved that man.

 Wack-o. I don't know what I would do without these fools! Missing Joshie (and now, Jakey) sooo much.

Seeing the mountains is like a piece of my soul returning. I have missed them.

Summer Vacation- Part 2

I feel kind of silly posting all these pictures but I hate to leave any out. I know less is more but I already feel like this is WAY less from the amount I could be posting. So, I guess you'll just have to deal!

After Bryce Canyon camping happiness, we headed to Bear Lake, Idaho to spend the 4th of July. My family in law has a lake house right on Bear Lake. It's the most fabulous thing ever! They built it when my honey was little (He loves telling me stories of things he helped build) and go there as many times as they can fit in during the summer. Words really can't describe how fun, relaxing and and all around amazing it is.

In addition to Bear Lake, over the week of the 4th,  we spent time in Logan, UT. We went to the car show- which is always super cool- (however after a few cars I'm totally done! ha) and we saw REO Speedwagon in concert. That was fun, I only recognized like 5 songs, but the people watching was worth it to me.

We also went to Paris, ID for the 4th of July Parade

Ok enough talk here are some pictures!

 This really cool storm came in while we were at the lake. It didn't rain long, but some really cool colors filled the sky and the clouds looks neat.

Oh, Bear Lake, why can't we be closer?!

My favorite person in all the world! I seriously smile just thinking of him!

Months in Review-Part 1

So, I realize I have been away for a while. Mostly due to being on vacation and wanting to spend every possible second I could with family. I kept telling myself that I had too many pictures, and now that I have gone through them all I realize I was right. So to save your eyes from straining, I will break my picture showing up into a few posts. Just be aware that there will be LOADS of pictures coming your way over the next few days! Hope you enjoy!

The Hubs and I decided that we wanted to spend the 4th of July with his family. We started the trip by motorcycling and camping through Southern Utah. We stopped at Bryce Canyon for a few days and went sight seeing and hiking.

The views were amazing. I really love how the land is shaped. It's remarkable and defiantly has a story to tell. If you ever get the chance, go to Bryce Canyon. Trust me, it will be a trip you will remember always!

 Isn't the land beautiful?

 I love how the trees grow straight up. They desire to find the light so they grow tall and strong. It's very interesting.
