Echo

Last weekend Bob and Cindy were so nice and took us camping at Echo. We didn't take the boat due to lack of funds, but Cindy had her jet ski and we always have loved camping even without a boat! We drove up with Adam and Erin late Friday night because Chris had to work late. We only expected to stay one night but Saturday we were having so much fun that we all decided to stay another night. I would stay all summer if I could but oh well! We had such a fun time. I haven't gone on Cindy's jet ski in 6 years so I wasn't very comfortable on it, Chris was so awesome on it though! They love that thing. Cindy and Chris can do all these tricks on the jet ski and it is very fun to watch them!

Here we are down on the beach...she loves taking my hat off and putting it on herself.
The walk out to the water was hell. The water level has gone down so fast that the beach was really muddy and had tons of stickers in it. Usually you can't get me out of the water but I was rarely in it because of that walk! Luckily where we were camping at was beautiful, so we stayed up there most of the time.

Lovin' it!

B fell asleep while Cindy was holding her. So precious!

My love!

Bailey and Chris about to go on the jet ski...eek!
You can barely see her on there!
I don't know if she liked it? I am thinking no!
Chris doing some tricks...no Bailey is not on there! Hehe!
We have a picture of him that looks exactly like this, but he was like 10.
She didn't sleep very well on the trip which made her very mellow... it was kind of nice! :)
Adam rocking out! I guess when he was little he used to just ride around singing at the top of his lungs, he was such a cute kid!
Doing some tricks! The last time we took Cindy's jet ski out (6 years ago) Adam couldn't get up because of his weight. He tried and tried for hours. He has since lost 140 lbs (I think) and he was so excited to ride all day! We were surprised because he rode like he has been all along, he is a natural. Erin and I on the other hand were too scared to stand up on it so we just rode on our knees the whole time. Hehe!
Erin and Adam. Adam being his usual goofy self! Love that guy.

Happy Anniversary Love. Can you believe we have been married 4 years today? Or even crazier that we have been together for 9 years? Wow! Time sure does fly when you are having fun. I remember meeting you for the first time, you sure were persistent weren't you? Thank you for that, I can't imagine a life without you. Remember when we went out for the first time and I kissed you at a stop light in your big white truck and we went to Sugar House park and talked all night long? We were inseparable after that. We were just babies, I was just 18 and you were 19. Remember moving to California together and taking your Grandpa's dingy out on the ocean all the time, or when you made a key to his yacht and we got caught ? We were just two crazy kids! Remember driving all the way to Lake Powell to meet your family and we never met up with them, so we just stayed at Lone Rock together? That was an amazing trip. Or going to Catalina Island, we went para sailing and they started dipping me right by a shark!! We decided to move back to Utah and we had our little apartment at Santa Fe. I had that jeep and you had your bullet bike! Then a few years later we decided it was time to buy a home and we bought our condo. We moved in the middle of December and we didn't realize you had to get the heater turned on so we slept by the fireplace! Remember buying Canyon a few months later. He was just a little puff ball and he would hide under our round chair. Remember when you proposed? You took me to a fabulous dinner at the Grand America hotel and they put us in our own little section. I remember everyone kept looking at us the whole time, and it was really freaking me out. Then when the waiter brought you the check, out of nowhere you were on your knee by my side. That was such an emotional moment for both of us. Remember everyone started clapping and you told me we had a suite upstairs! I was so shocked and I couldn't stop crying. Remember when I was walking down the isle and I couldn't believe how handsome you looked in your tux? That was an amazing wedding, probably the funnest one I have ever been to! Remember we thought our relationship wouldn't change just because we got married? But it did! How did that happen? We were so close, a family, and it was amazing. Remember the times we went diving together? Remember the baby star fish I held and when the guy drew that funny picture of me in Mexico and we couldn't stop laughing! I wish we still had that picture! Remember deciding to move into a home and we bought our house. We loved this house and we have had so many wonderful memories in it! Remember when we were sitting on our porch, drinking a glass of wine together and we decided that we were ready for a baby? We both got so emotional, it was the best decision ever. Thank you for putting up with my crazy emotions while I was pregnant, I definitely put you through the ringer! Remember when my water broke and we were both completely freaked out! You were right by my side that whole day and I kept looking in your eyes as I was pushing, you were so amazing and supportive! Then the craziness of having a newborn but you were always supporting me 100%. Thank you for all of the amazing memories. I love you more and more every day, you are the funnest husband and Dad I could ever choose. I love you so much my love!

Here are some pictures from our wedding...

Tearful goodbyes

The last day my family was here, we went to the pool all day and then had dinner at the sweetest park that was shaped like a fire truck. Owen was in heaven.

Bailey insisted that slides were involved in the evening.Playing on the firetruck's piano
