AuGusT!

Sunday Afternoon at the Ranch! Is always relaxing! I love it!
Zip line Fun!! This is always the highlight of our Ranch trips ever since I was little!
Family photo.. well deciding where to stand.. I accidently uploaded this one.. dang.
Who is this?!(bad pic of me.) Well, Short Version, This is my other brother from another mother.. This is Jared and he is such a stud! I love him! He is pretty cute. I mean.. cool. He is twelve, he is a natural at every sport, and is just like my dad. I'm happy to have him in our family, its like he has been part of the fam the whole time. He is pretty awesome.


We went to the ranch a few weekends in a row.. We went to the Lincoln County fair, Navajo tacos, rodeos, and carnies.. couldn't get much better. This is us on the top of the ferris wheel, it was so cold! I haven't been on one since lagoon in like ninth grade! So it was pretty fun!
This is my lovely Aunt, Beautiful Grandma and wonderful Aunt Ellen, We are watching the show.. which was this total cowboy, old western, yodeler.. it was pretty fun!
I love rides!! This was the Zipper! yep, the faster it goes the funner it is.. I loved it. My little brother Jamison came along for the ride! This year he was finally tall enough!


Brent and his friend Brandon, Had quite the idea when they announced to there wives they were going to go summit Kings Peak. Being the understanding, compassionate wife Iam.. (sense sarcasm) Allowed him to go BE a MAN and hike to the top of the tallest mountain in Utah. They did it! It took them two days. I'm so proud of him! When Brent and Brandon plan trips, its always an adventure, and it always includes, bikes or amazing feats, they definantly do their research and study maps, and make "to do" list.. Its pretty funny to Luann and I but they love it so we do to. We at least always get a girls night out of it!
Bear Lake, WE love it! Its a beautiful Lake and we actually had pretty decent water for wakeboarding! Good times!

Its been Forever since I've Blogged!! But we seriously have been so Busy!! Summer is coming to an end so we are trying to enjoy the last of the good weather and cramming all the fun summer activities into the next couple weeks. Here is a few pics of our crazy august!

HAVE YOU SEEN ME?!

This is Brent with the love of his life.. (ok thats me..but its a pretty close competition) Which was stolen last night.. along with mine. We are so bummed! The bikes were locked inside our backyard! And they are right outside our bedroom window! Brent woke up this morning and the back gate was busted open and our bikes were GONE! They did however leave behind a flashlight.. Seriously!.. why do people have to be so dumb.. We filed a police report, checking ksl, craigslist, pawnshops.. but figure it will take awhile to track them down. Brent is way sad about it. Mountain biking is his absolutely favorite thing! He goes at least 3 times a week if not more then that..and his bike wasn't very cheap..
This whole week has been absolutley crazy, On friday, last week I got a huge crack in my windshield and had to pay to get that repaired..there was a power surge monday and my straightner got shot.. and everything else plugged in the wall! Brent lost his wallet monday as well.. and tuesday, Brents radiator choked and blew, my registration is due for my car.. and then we wake up today to missing bikes.. Whats next??!! honestly, goodbye savings.. I guess when it rains it POURS!! Just keep a good attitude I guess, what more can we do. Vacation please?

What to Eat?

People always ask me about my diet and whats good to eat, I don't really diet I just it clean. which is just fresh ingredients. Some think its crazy that I can live off of egg whites, oatmeal, chicken, tuna, veggies and fruits.. but really.. I love it! and its so easy. I never get bored cause there are so many variations I can make, My only problem is.. IM ALWAYS ON THE GO.. so its hard to eat healthy sometimes. I found this recipe for homemade carrot cake protien bars.. Ive changed it a little bit by adding a few things and subsituting a little bit. But its one of my favorites! I bake them then cut them up and wrap them so they are super easy to grab and go!
