So we went down to Lake Powell this weekend. First time on my own without my dad as the navigator. We went down to St. George and then to Page AZ. We have never been that on the Wahweep side before. Day one weather was good and I got a good burn on the backside. I'm still paying for it right now as I sit. We really didn't make it too far. We kept getting lost and didn't venture too far out of the main marina. We did find one canyon that had a few rocks to jump off. That was fun. Back in the day I would have called them cliffs, but now find myself pretty wimpy and will stick to the rocks. Zoey even dared to jump off of the same rock I was scared of. The next day the weather was bad, so we packed up and drove home. It was a down pour all of the way home. So not quite the trip I was hoping for, but will try it again. I have too many good memories and I want to create more with my girls. Maybe my dad can take us down and show us the ropes so we can make it out of the marina.

We have so much right out our back door here in Utah. I want to start taking advantage and visiting more of out parks like Zion, Bryce. I would like to hike the narrows, so if any of you have any experiences to share let me know. It makes me more excited to go to Lake Powell this week. The kids actually thought it was pretty fun swimming, seeing the indian petroglyphs, hiking to the Delicate Arch except for Addi, she thought we were truly torturing her. Avery was a little trooper hiking 3 miles without complaining. Her baby steps were just a little to slow so we had to carry her some. I can't wait to go back in a few months. This time I need my bike.

Fireman Breakfast with Grandpa Dan Memorial Day

I miss you little brother, can't believe it's been 20 years





This is probably our 6th year going to the Memorial Day Firemans Breakfast. It is becoming a tradition with my dad. We always see Uncle Guy, Jen & Matt, Megan and all their kids. I swear my dad knows the whole entire town folk in AF. This year my Grandpa Richards didn't make it for the first time in a long time. He's 90 so he can take it easy if he needs to. Maybe next year. I miss and love those close to me who we think of often, Gma & Gpa England, Gma Richards, my brother Wade, and cousin Greg. I love you.

UPS WTF!!!

How does the packaging foam self destruct and explode?
The other side was wide open taped.

This TV was sitting on our porch. What did it do to deserve this kind of treatment. You can plainly see it is a flat screen TV, use caution. It was never picked up with care, just kicked around, thrown out of train, and kicked out of a truck. I can't believe they had the guts to leave it at the door. The TV is busted.

Just Do IT!!!! Little Red Ride Logan

Done, I did it!
Finish Line

TGIF Thank Goddness I'm Finished!!!!!
Let's get it started
Well the big day came for my first real bike ride, 67 miles let's just say 70 to round it off. I didn't really plan on doing this since they cut off registration at the end of April 1 month early. I procrastinated and didn't get in. About 2 weeks ago I found a girl who had broke her arm so I was in. With only 5 rides under my butt and the longest one being 37 miles 3 weeks ago I was off. I am really not a person who likes to prove herself or over exert myself physically for any reason. I wanted to take it easy but wanted to ride with Amber. So instead of doing 50 I just went for it. Needless to say after a morning of rain, quit about 1 hour before the ride, some wind ( so I really rode prob 90 counting the wind) Ambers bike malfunctioning barely making it to the start line without a minute to spare, half a bagel in my mouth we were off. WE DID IT. I rode for 4:30 hours. If I train maybe will shoot for 80, we will see. I am paying for it today, my quads ache.
