Camping!!!

We went camping this weekend with my family. It was really fun and relaxing. We rode four wheelers fished and of course ate and ate and ate! Thanks to Rachel and Robbie we ate great meals. They made us tin foil dinners, chicken stew and scones, mountain man breakfast with biscuts and gravy...hot dogs and the best cherry cobler I have ever had! We got up there pretty late Friday so we put the kids to bed and all of us stayed up and talked. Saturday we relaxed in the morning then went fishing and that was so fun to watch the kids catch fish. It started raining so we decided to go back to camp...our plan was to go back drop the grandkids off with the grandparents and us four (me, jason, rachel and rob) go on a long four wheeler ride. Well by the time we were back to camp it was hailing on us! So we all ran to our tents and stayed there for a good three hours. It was cool thunder and lightning. Luckily Red hadn't taken a nap so he and Jason slept while I red Eclipse. We were kind of bumped that it took a good chunck of our Saturday afternoon, but it was nice to relax for a few hours and I love the smell in the mountians after it rains. Then Sunday my parents had left my dad had to speak in sacrement...we should have went and listened but we didn't! oops. So we all loaded up with the kids on the four wheelers and went for a long ride. It was so funny reddek kept falling asleep like 5 mins into the ride he was out. We enjoyed ourselves and it was nice to hang with my family. The worst part about camping is UNPACKING!!! Boys snacking...the main thing we did the whole weekend.

Our friends Landon and Kienzie

My sister Rachel, husband Rob, and daughter Jadelyn

Tw0 cuties!!!

This is Jadelyn and if you look close you can see that she is throwing the bait in the lake. She is so fun and a little bit of a trouble maker. Reddek just sits back and watches her. She loved the lake, kept throwing things in it and she almost got in a couple times.

This is my mom and dad for those that don't know them! My dad is really happy he just doesn't smile for the camera.

Reddek catching his first fish with his uncle Rob. Yes he is using a pink and purple princess fishing pole...it is Jade's but she was nice enough to share. He really liked the fish he even touched it and laughed so hard when it was flopping around. They actually caught alot of fish they kept taking turns bringing them in...it was honestly like a fish every min. after Rob casted it out. It was fun!

Our cute little family : ) Reddek wore that white shirt the second day and kept it completly clean except the medicine Jason spilt on it! He is kind of a clean freak but not Jade she was into the mud and dirt the whole time even eating it! They were so cute together, I am glad they are so close in age (only two weeks difference) so they can have so much fun!

Mom and Red...a couple days without showering or makeup! (gross)

Grandma Reddek and Jadelyn...they went to try to find some animals but didn't have much luck just found a horse!

Results from no sunscreen

Well Jason blistered right up! On both shoulders he had blisters and they hurt so badly when he could he would leave his shirt off. To make it worse in the mountains he was unloading the four wheeler and it tipped and he fell off scraping one of his shoulders. So not only was it burnt and blistered now he has open soars. So we would have to put aloe on for the burn and that of course burned the soars and then Neosporin for the soars and that hurt the burn. He also scrapped up his leg so that was soar too! So he has been pretty miserable but he was a good sport and still went camping with my family! Thanks Jas :) Reddek didn't get burnt at all and I was burned on my upper legs, but they are fine now and tan! I thought I would blister before Jason, but he got the worst of it.

GOT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS!!!

Well the last couple days have been awesome!!! We packed up four wheelers and wave runners and headed to park city. We went with Jason's sister and husband. It was so fun we left Tuesday after work meet for dinner in Provo then headed up to the condo we were staying at. It was pretty and of course I didn't take very many pictures of it! The pool was on the 5th floor and it had part of it inside and the other part outside. Of course on vacation we didn't get to bed until about midnight then Wednesday we woke up got ready and headed out to Jordan el (i don't know how to spell it) to go wave running. I haven't went since highschool and Jason has never been so it was so fun. We all just hung out at the beach and rode all day we were out on water for about 7 hours wed. We took Reddek out too and he loved it! We got this floating suit thanks to a friend at work and so we felt pretty safe taking him out. Well we all kept trading off since there were two wave runners and one kid that had to be watched. I felt like I never got off though Jay and Teresa were good to us they kept telling us to take them again so we got spoiled. Well we ate a picnic out there and just played at the beach. Then about 6:00 pm we got loaded back up and by then I found out that I totally spaced putting sunblock on! I remembered to put it on Reddek luckily but I was fried and Jason also. But we didn't let that stop the fun we went and got aloe vera and got cleaned up and went to the new Batman movie at 10:30 pm I thought we were crazy but Jason kept saying Reddek will be asleep before it starts. Which he did right when the previews were over he was asleep on Teresa's lap. Well the movie was good and long!!! We didn't get back to the room unitl about 1:30 am I was so tired and my legs were killing since they were bright red! Well Thursday we headed out again and went to Deer Creek this time went wave running from about 11:00 to 2:30 then Jason, Jay and I went on a four wheeler ride. Ya talk about getting everything in a couple days! We were busy but it was so fun! We went up the mountain on a couple hour ride and thanks to Teresa again we didn't have to take Reddek, she stayed at the beach with her kids and Reddek while we went. It was so fun and the mountains were beautiful! Well we are all home now cleaned and dead tired. Reddek has done more in his year and a half than Jason had done until he was about 24. So we are so lucky that we have fun friends and family that let us go do all this fun stuff! Now we are home tonight (Thursday July 24th) then tomorrow after work about 4:00 we head down to my family in Manti to go camping all weekend long!!! We are crazy and our house will be all messed up on Monday but it is going to be one fun week and weekend!

FUN WEEKEND!

Well we had a nice weekend...I still haven't found my camera so I justed used my phone, so they aren't that great. Well Saturday morning I woke up bright and early 7:00 and went running with my neighbor. We were planning to run 7 miles, but after 7 we felt like running 5 more! Ya we ran 12 miles on Saturday morning it took us two hours but it felt so good. I never thought I would be a runner in high school I hated running but I have ran a couple miles here and there when I find the time, but Loni and I have started running 4 times a week and she runs 6 miles each time so I thought I would give it a try. I love running now. We go Mon, Wed, and Thurs and run 6 miles now on Saturday mornings we are going to do our big run like at least 10. So if anybody wants to go running with us come on it is so fun!!! Then after that I went home and was so tired I couldn't even pick Reddek up! Jason was a great dad and he had made pancakes so I had time to eat a pancake then it was our ward's softball game. I have never really played softball so I was really nervous. BUT I DIDN'T SUCK THAT BAD. I hit and got on base every time, well I might have struck out once. I didn't do great, but it was so fun and softball has been something I have always wanted to do. Well after that I had a couple hours at home so we organized the garage. Jason got a 4-wheeler a couple weeks ago so we needed to make room for it. Well after about an hour of organizing we finally fit two 4-wheelers and our two cars! I am so excited it just feels good to have it finally organized. (The other 4-wheeler is Joe and Andria's...for those of you thinking we have two no just one!) Well then we had Jason's little sister and her husband out to go riding. Our babysitter ended up falling through so Jason said lets just take him with us...i was really nervous. Well we put a helmet on him and he went with us. Jason took a new trail and it turned out to be a really scary trail and here I am trying to hold Reddek and myself on. We finally got off while he turned it around and got us down to safer ground. It was really fun though Reddek loved it he just kept saying "fun dad fun". Then on Sunday Reddek let us sleep in until 10:00!!! We were almost late for church I don't think we have slept that long for a couple years at least, but it felt good!

Red and his cool glasses on our 4-wheeler!!!

Jason, Julia and Brandon ready to leave!

My Favorite Boys in the World

Jason was playing the guitar the other night. For some of you that know him you are thinking he doesn't play; but he is always trying new things and having new goals so he started learning. He is awesome when he puts his mind to something he makes sure he gets it done! So he was playing and he can play quite a few songs now but Reddek wanted to help him so I have a little kid guitar thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law so we got it out and he sat there trying to play with Jason. Those two really are best friends. I am so happy to have such a great husband that is a good dad. Him and Reddek have such a great bond, sometimes I am sick of trying to entertain Reddek but I don't think I ever hear Jason complain about playing with him. Aren't these two the cutest band? I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

My cute nieces

Today we had Sydney and Avery over for a little party! The boys were asleep when they first came over so just the girls went outside and had a water party. We put up the sprinkler and the baby pool (it is for little babies but Avery and Sydney still had fun). They are so cute they keep posing like that and saying it was their pose. I love them so much and they made me feel like a kid again. We did water balloons and we were going to wait for the boys to pop them but we kept were too excited and poped most of them, but Sydney made sure we saved at least two one for Reddek and one for Collyn to pop. She is such a good helper and she loves the little boys. Avery loves them too and she watches out for them. I am so glad we live near family so Reddek can hang with his cousins. He missed Kennady during this water party...he kept asking "where kennay" . I am so blessed to have such a good life thanks to everybody helping me out when I try to take both boys places.

Happy 4th of July

Well we had a fun 4th weekend, but I lost my camera somewhere along the way. We packed up and drove back down to Manti, it is weird how you still feel at home when you drive into Ephraim and see the Wal-mart. Well Jason's family had a party at his sister Kori's house. We first all met up and went to the Manti Park where we ran into lots of people it was nice to get caught up with all our old friends. We then had a bbq at Kori's which ended in a water fight. Yeah we do it every year so I came prepared and got in my swimming suit with clothes over of course and I started it I soaked Chad right when his plate was empty he got me back pretty bad dumped me in the pool a couple times. It was really fun. Then we all set up our tents to camp out in the yard. We watched TONS of fireworks thanks to Joe and Andria. Reddek was so beat so I thought well I'm not ready for bed so I will just take him out to the tent and see if he falls asleep. He did he didn't even fuss...he is such a good boy. We all stayed up talking and I was trying to get everybody to play cards or something but they are all too old and needed to get to bed. But we had a great time. In the morning Reddek woke up and I got him and said "Reddek did we sleep outside in the tent?" He responded "CRAZY" it was pretty cute. Well we might get pictures later if I can find my camera!

TAGGED BY SHANNON

So I was tagged by Shannon, you have to take pictues of all this stuff without cleaning or getting cleaned up yourself. She caught me on a good day so I hope I catch these girls on a bad day!!!

I tagg Charle, Amber, and Colleen.


1. Laundry room

this isn't the best picture...there are shelves behind that have all the stuff on, but my camera is out of batteries. But we are actually caught up on laundry :)

2. Favorite Room

Okay so this isn't really a room, but we love our deck. Jason and I usually end up out here everynight talking and either eating a smoothie or seeds. We sleep out on our deck too! It is high so has great views.

So my living room is probably my favorite. This one is really open and by the kitchen so we end up in here talking while I am either cooking (well what I call cooking) or doing dishes. It is also where our friends and family hang out, it has a tv in it so we can do everything up here.

3. What is my kid doing?

Well Reddek is taking his nap. He is so sweet...espcially while he is sleeping! He likes to be busy, but I can tell when he is ready to go down so I lay him in his crib while he says..."no bob go ravrys wit collyn." He is usually out by the time I get to the door.

4. Favorite Shoes

Well I like these ones...they are comfy and make me a little taller. Jason hates when I wear high shoes, but lots of my pants are too long with out high shoes.

5. The Toilet

Well this is one of three and I love this one the most we just repainted and got new decorations...don't you love it! Alright you can't see it very good in the photo.

6. Kitchen Sink

Luckily I did the dishes yesterday! It was pretty full...for some reason I am the only one that knows how to load the dishwasher! (it must be pretty complicated)

7. Fridge

Pretty dirty and not much good food in it!
I really need to put the letters back up, but Reddek takes them off and throws them as soon as they are up!

8. Self Portrait

9. My closet

10. Dirtiest Room

The family room is the dirtiest right now...Reddek and Collyn just got finished dragging toys out and playing.

11. Dream Vacation

Well I have always wanted to go to Hawaii! We will see if it ever happens. I love the beach and I would love to be there with my family. . . it would be nice to just take that one with Jason.
