Swimming at the Lake

Yes I am going to bore you with pictures of my dog. This weekend Kyle surprised me by taking me and Jaxsen to Sand Hollow. First thing it was HOT!!!! I think it got to the upper 90's if not in the 100's. Don't worry though I took the sunblock! So we got there Saturday and we immediately decided to get in the water. It felt so good. Jaxsen has only been to the lake 2 times before. The first time he loved the water and kinda figured out how to swim. The 2nd time we had Max and he pretty much tried to drown Jaxsen as much as possible. So this time Jaxsen was all by himself and loved it. He caught onto swimming so fast. The only reason I'm talking about this is cuz Jaxsen is not meant to swim. His paws aren't webbed and he pretty much is too fat to float. He eventually got to the point where he would just take off swimming. I was so proud.




Even Kyle got in the water. It took us both awhile before we would go too far into the water but eventually the cold water won over the hot sand. We went for a ride on the sand dunes on our razor. I have to admit the Razor was a very good purchase. I'm not a fan of fourwheelers but this is so much fun. I can just go along for the ride and not have to worry about driving. It was a pretty fun weekend. It wore all of us out but I thought this picture of Jaxsen pretty much explained how hard we all played this weekend.



Awesome Weekend

This weekend I got the chance to go with my sister and her two daughters to Manti and see the Manti Pageant. I have seen it once before but I couldn't remember much about it. I was so excited to have a girls weekend with my sister. I got a call from work saying that I didn't need to go into work on friday and so I left early friday to hang out with my nieces. I always plan to hang out with my sister but I never get a chance since my nieces can always talk me into playing dolls and whatever else they want to do. =) So the time finally came and we took off. Wow is pretty much all I can say about the pageant. I had so many emotions. I cried alot mostly. It was so powerful! I'm glad that Carrie invited me to go. I probably wouldn't ever go becuase I never think about it. THANK YOU CARRIE and GIRLS!!!!

Then on sunday Kyle wanted to take me for a ride up the mountain. There is a cabin up there that a sheep herder made himself to protect himself from bears. After a long and very bumpy road Kyle finally remembered where it was. This cabin is neat! Everything inside he made. I guess the guy who made it doesn't live in it anymore but whoever owns the land takes very good care of the cabin. Looking at the cabin was pretty fun but the thought of bears being around pretty much scared me and so we didn't spend too much time there.
