Day 1 and 2 of Oregon....

So J and I just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on a 5 day road trip in Oregon. It was seriously so freakin fun. We did it true road trip style and made a bed in the back of my car and slept there 3 of the 4 nights. We left from Utah, headed through Idaho and up to the bottom of Washington, then down through the Oregon Coast into California. It was quiet the adventure. The first day was just drive drive drive. We slept in Boise at the Shilo Inn parking lot. It sucked so bad because the sprinklers went off in the middle of the night and blasted the crap out of my car. It was like trying to sleep through a hurricane. The next day we headed out and finally reached Oregon and Washington. We drove through some really cute little cowboy towns like Baker and Pendleton. Jory got a nice hefty speeding ticket while on our way.....$287.00. Ya he was pretty excited about it. When we reached the Washington/Oregon border the views started to get much better. We followed the Columbia River all the way up, which was really interesting. Our rivers here are tiny compared to that river. They have huge cargo ships that travel up and down the river exporting goods. On the way to our first stop we went throught the Columbia River George area. We stopped at Multnomah Falls which were AMAZING. By far the best waterfalls I have ever seen. It was pouring rain so we didn't do the full hike but we did go to the middle bridge to take some pics. Our first real day of site seein was in Astoria. It's a real old town with Victorian style homes. Seriously so cute. We went to a light house there were we could look over the whole river. Then we went down and walked the pier checking out some of the shops. It was late so there wasn't a whole lot to do. There is a huge bridge that went on for miles across the opening of the river to Washington. We took a stroll out there to check things out....there was nothing on the other side lol. After driving through most of Astoria we headed to the next town called Seaside. Seaside was a quaint little town right on the beach. It's full of tourist shops and restaurants. We finally got some dinner at around 10:00 and then pulled into a hotel parking lot to catch some ZZZZZZZ. More pictures to come of Astoria and Seaside.......

Okay so I totally suck at updating the blog......not enough time these days. Here is a summary of the latest happenings. I will TRY to get pictures posted but not makin any promises lol.

1. Jory just got over the flu....I am pretty sure I should never have kids because I can't bring myself to help clean after my loving husband. The smell KILLS me!
2. Me and J celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We took a 5 day road trip to Oregon, it was beautiful and we had so much fun.
3. We finally got our backyard finished......it only took us 5 years to do it! Our fence will be finished next week!
4. I am already planning and buying shiz for my Halloween party. I LOVE Halloween, it should happen every month.
5. We spent some time with Neil, Jo, Jace and Callan in Lake Powell over Labor Day weekend. I can never get enough of Lake Powell it truly is heaven on earth.
6. I have gained 6 pounds :( My new goal is to get back to working out everyday. I want to lose some much needed pounds for our Cabo trip in November.
7. I have to have another surgery to remove the screw in my foot in November. I can't wait because it's causing me constant pain.
8. Our softball team still sucks this year. We have only won 2 games this season. It's definitely an improvement from last year when we won ZERO games. At least we have a blast playing.
9. We are going to Wyoming this weekend to see my parents and spend the weekend in Yellowstone Park. It's gorgeous at this time of year and my dad is an expert at getting the bulls to bugle. So neat!
10. We attended Baby Krew and Baby Aydree's blessing over the weekend. Congratulations Jaci and Callan and Luke and Ashley, you have the most adorable babies EVER!

I really am going to make it a goal to update this thing at least once a month. Wish me luck! Hope everyone is great....miss you all!

The LaKe...

So for Memorial we headed down to Lake Powell to catch some rays, it was a really fun trip. We usually go to Antelope Point but we decided to shorten the drive a bit and headed to Bullfrog. My lil bro and Jess rode down with us and we met up with Collin and Whit who were already down there. Casey and Mel drove down late Friday night. It wasn't as HoT as I hoped it would be but still it was plenty warm, we all burned pretty much! I didn't take our camera so these are just a few pics off my brothers camera, Mel took more pics that I will put on later. It was a sweet little vaycay, definitely needed. The sun felt oh so good......the water on the other hand was oh so COLD! We finally got brave enough and jumped in but man you had to talk yourself into it. Even the Rickster took a swim! We explored a lot of new canyons that we had never really been in, Hansen Canyon being one of my FaVs, Jess even showed us this cool new short hike called the "CrAcK". I tried to make it to it but only got half way before the foot wouldn't let me go any further......next time. We ended up getting down there mid-morning on Friday and couldn't launch the boat because the wind was sooooo bad. I ended up drinkin a couple brewskies in the boat in the parking lot and took a nap LOL. We decided to just pull the boat out every night and took it up to the hotel parking lot where Collin and Whit were stayin, we all slept in the boat, it was so romantic ;) Anyways.... it was a fun trip, can't wait to do it again!! Thanks to J Boy and all my friends...oh ya and my lil bro for making it a fun and memorable trip! Love you all!!!

So we decided to head to the parents place this weekend......they like to call it God's Country.....I say to hell with that!! It freakin snowed all weekend, not just a few flakes, a full on blizzard! It still was a really great weekend. I love going home and spending time with my parents, they are the BEST! There definately is not a dull moment.........EVER. My parents bought us tickets to the Sportmens Banquet, I had never been to the one in Wyoming but it was a GREAT time!! I loved every second of it. I got to participate in my first ever live auction, I was pretty stoked about it....really. I bid on a .410/22 gun but was out bid........DANG IT! Then I bid on a PiNk BB gun and ta'da I got it!!! We had a delicious dinner...Prime Rib and lot's of laughs. No one won anything but we figured that's the Blackett Curse haha. We did a ton of loungin and watching Man Tracker. If you have not watched Man Tracker it is a MUST. Soooo good, we are totally playin Man Tracker this summer in the mountains. I think I'll take my PiNk BB gun along lol! It was a great weekend, thanks Mom and Pa, I LoVe you both soooo much!! Muah!

So St. Geezy was amazing!!!! We rarely take a vacation that is relaxing but this one was just perfect!! Jory, myself and Jessica drove down Friday afternoon and no worries I slept the entire way. When we got there we met up with our friends from down there, Bobby and Kale. We ate at Samurai 21....it wasn't the best sushi we've had but it was okay. After dinner we just went to Kales house and hung out for a bit. Bobby came back to the hotel with us for a sleepover and we got up the next day and went hiking up Snow Canyon. It was a fun short hike then we decided to hit the pool up. We all fell asleep next to the pool, it was so nice ! That night we went to dinner at Texas Road House then went back to the hotel with Andre:) Sunday we got Starbucks and chilled @ Kales house for most of the day playing basketball. We didn't want to come home it was a great weekend and it was even better hangin with friends that we haven;t seen in forever!!
