LaKe PoWeLl

So we are back from the lake! I didn't want to come home we had so much fun! I love Powell, I wish I could live there! We drove down way late Wednesday night and arrived at 3:30 in the morning. We were pretty tired but ready to get up and play. We took the small boat out the next day and followed Neil in his big boat to a place where we could float and swim.

Viper came with us in the boat, it was her first time ever I am sure, I'm not so sure she loved it? We found a good spot to swim and ski so we chilled there most of the day. It was funny Neil was cruzin around with Viper in the boat and he is not a big fan of animals so we had to get lots of pics.

We stayed at a newer marina called Antelope Point, it is way nice! The have a restaurant and bar right on the water, we had a lot of fun hangin out there at night (not to mention the food was pretty good!). Friday I woke up super early ready to get out and ski in some calm water, Jaci and Jory got up with me and we took the little boat out to ski and wake board. We had a blast! I have not water skied in years so it was fun to get out again! Jory has never skied before so it was fun to see him on ski's. He looked so funny, he was almost doing the straddles. When he was wake boarding we got him to pull his swim trunks up high so we could see his white legs:) He was doing some funny stuff behind the boat, he kept us laughin.

That day A.J. and Brian were there with their boat so we all went out for a ride and played all day! When we got back to the marina there was a live band that played so we ate and danced all night long! The band was really good they played Friday and Saturday night. We all slept in the motor home and Neil and Jo stayed on the boat. There are lots of pics so I made another slide show.

So we flew to Denver over the weekend with some friends of ours Casey and Melanie Adams. We flew out to go to the Lakewood Motocross National. It was such a blast I didn't want to come home! We have a really good friend who lives out there in Colorado Springs. He is a mechanic for a kid who rides motocross, unfortunately he did not qualify on Friday, the stater in his bike went bad on the last lap. He was sitting in qualifying position so we were pretty bummed. It was kinda nice though because we got to spend more time with Hoss. It was neat to watch all the big guys ride like James Stewart. Hoss got us hooked up with pit passes so we could go anywhere but on the track! The motocross was a night this year so it was nice, no heat stroke! We had so much fun just chillin, we did some shopping and lunch with Hoss. We had a funny trip, just all the little things that went crazy starting with the rental car and Casey drifting it every five seconds! I left the camera in the hotel lobby when we checked out so we had to go clear back for it! Hoss stayed in our room so we slept 3 to a bed (Hoss, Jory and Me) it was precious!!:) We had a ton of fun I can't wait to go back next year! And of course we love seeing Hoss, we take any chance we can with his busy schedule. He travels all over with Trevor his rider going to all the races, so we hardly get to see his little butt! There are so many pictures so I made a slide show of them. Our weekend was great, now we are off to Lake Powell this weekend!

Night Ride

Okay so we thought that we would try to attempt our four wheeler ride AGAIN!:) Fortunately we had better luck this time! We went for a ride up to the tower on West Mountain, and yes I was brave enough to climb the tower! Okay not the entire way up but I was the only girl who even went up the latter! It was cool because we headed up right after dark and we got to watch 2 firework shows! Springville and Orem were having their celebrations so that was fun to watch from up there. Mel took my pic when I was up on the tower so when she sends it to me I will have to post it. I am glad that we had better luck, cause our ride was so much fun!

MoAb!!

The girls from work and I had a exciting trip down to Moab. Every other year Utah has a Veterinary Conference in Moab. I attended for my first time 2 years ago and had a blast! This year it was a ton of fun because Ashley was able to go with us. We drove down early and went hiking in Arches National Park. I have been to Moab quiet a few times but I have never had the chance to go to any of the National Parks there. It was such a blast! We did several different hikes through the park but of course we hiked to Delicate Arch. It was amazing, even when hiking in 100 degree weather! After spending most of our day hiking we went back to our room got ready and headed out to dinner. It was nice to spend the weekend with the girls and get outdoors. However the next day we had to sit through lecture after lecture about anesthesia...... it really was not that bad, we learned a bunch of new stuff! Plus they hold our conference at the most beautiful place clear up the canyon. They have a huge screening room with a million different props and posters from all of the films they have filmed in Moab (lots of John Wayne movies and old westerns.......my favorite!). The weekend was definitely great, I look forward to the next one!

SILLY DOG

SO VIPER THINKS THAT SHE NEEDS TO SLEEP IN THE CAT BEDS! I THINK THAT IT IS SO FUNNY, SHE IS SO STINKIN BIG AND YET SHE THINKS THAT LITTLE BED IS HERS! IT IS REALLY CUTE THOUGH, SHE PULLS THE BED OF THE COUCH WITH HER MOUTH AND LAYS IT ON THE FLOOR SO THAT SHE CAN CURL UP ON IT. NOT TO MENTION THAT HER GIANT DOG BED IS TWO STEPS AWAY FROM HER!

BAD LUCK!

So this weekend we were going to go on a four wheeler ride but that didn't quiet happen. See wherever Jory and I go a curse of bad luck follows!!! It's the Blackett curse.......I got it from my parents!:) Anyways, we met up with some friends out at West Mountain on Sunday to go up to the tower for a short ride. Well Casey could not get one of his 2 4-wheelers to start!!! I couldn't believe it, dang the luck! It was funny because it is usually us who has the problem, but our bad luck must have worn off on Casey and Mel. We did eventually after about 3 hours get on on the wheelers to start, so we headed off to Lincoln Beach to meet Casey and Mel. We pulled our 4-wheeler on our trailer so we were just gonna meet Casey and Mel over there ( they took the dirt road on the wheeler from his house). Well we waited for about 30 min. and no Mel and Casey??? So we start heading back to his house thinking that the 4-wheeler must have died or something. I spotted out of the corner of my eye someone clear up the mountain waving us down. Yep...it was them, the wheeler died and they had been pushing for the last 20 min. It was pretty funny! We towed them down to the trailer and loaded em' up! Darn the luck! Although Casey has had a worse case of it then us lately, when they went on their guys weekend he broke his bike so he rented some guys bike and broke that too! He ended up having to buy the guys bike that he broke and take it home!! Poor Casey!

So while I was enjoying my family in Wyoming, Jory went with his buddies and went south to ride dirt bikes. He had a blast, he has not gone for a guys weekend in a long time. I talked to him every night and he had so many cool stories about what they had done that day. Jory, Casey, Luke, Weston and Luke's cousin went and stayed with a relative in Cainsville. They rode dirt bike all weekend long, and took some pretty cool pictures! I will post the rest of the pics on a slide show, they are really neat!
