Our Powell Trip

Sadly we are home form our Powell trip. We had such a fun time down there with our friends and all the new people we meet. It was kinda crazy down there, we had 26 people with us, and we only knew about 6-7 of those people before we went down. Here are some pictures of the trip hope you enjoy them.

Bronson, me, our friends Danielle and Blake. We were getting ready to go tubing. I got a gnarly burn on my elbow from the stupid tube. The reason I say stupid.. First off it burnt me.. Second.. we were having so much fun on it and then it decided to pop.. So there for the tube is now stupid.

Just chillin on the house boat..

Bronson got burnt on his shoulders and back so he made himself a "man bro" to protect himself from the sun. haha what a hoot!!

Nothing is better than looking in the eyes of the one you love

My face is super red in this photo. Why you ask.. Well me, Bronson, his brother Brock, and Arb went looking for the perfect cove for us to take the house boat to, and when we found this awesome cove, I volunteered to stay with some chairs and tents to save our spot. Little did I know about all the problems everyone back on the houseboat would have and the huge delay. Good thing I took a book and some sunscreen. I was left in this Awesome cove with Arb for 7 flippin hours. I was baking in the sun, and obviously the sunscreen didn't do the best of job. Why didn't I set up the tent and camp out in there?? Oh haha I have never set one of those things up on my own, and Arb was passed out, didn't look like he was helping me with anything for a while. Its cool though, I had this lil stalker.. A lizard. He was so cute. He was really curious about all my stuff I had with me. Then I watched him get in a fight with another lizard. It was cool.

Brock, Cody, and Scooter..

So when Brock went to get someone at the docks he hit a rock in his boat and Ta Da... The prop was all mangled. So Blake went under the boat to take it off and fix it. Such a handy man..

TyTy caught this horny lizard. It looks like a 3 horn when it puts its horns up.. When they put the lizard back on a rock, it wouldn't move. It just stayed on the rock watching us.

I love this pic. I caught it right when the horse shoe was in the air.

In one of the magazines we got on the way to Powell we seen that this is the new fad with all the stars, so... we were making fun of them.. pretty sure everyone was making fun of me though.. I couldn't figure out how to do it.. then I discovered that I was doing it upside down.. Duh!!

WARNING THIS GETS GRAPHIC... Bronson and Blake were the King lizard catcher's. This is Pierre Bronson kept him for a while cus he thought he would make a good jumping partner off the Cliff's. Ya I know It's very sad that my boyfriend is a lizard killer. So here is the before...

This is when they were climbing up the rock. You can't really see Pierre but he is in bronson's hand..

Blake, Bronson and Pierre on top of the Cliff.. Pierre doesn't know this yet, but he is flying Tandem with Bronson in about 3 seconds.

And there off.. When Bronson came up, sad to say.. Pierre didn't make it.

Oh yes, me and Kelst look Fabulous.. day 4 no straightener just the natural look

Like Brother, Like Sister... Crazy, weirdo's

Some of the crew.. look at the guy in the Jazz Jersey.. His nick name is Wonka.. He looks just like Willie Wonka.. It's hard to see cus the hooka smoke but he is identical..

We look like lil antz.. left to right- me, Danielle, Ty Ty, Brock, Arb, Toad and Bronson and Blake playing horse shoes. This is pretty much all the boys did the whole time.

This is Bronson, me Blake and Danielle floating in a huge tube

So we ran into allot of problems on this lil vacation. Brock rented out his Houseboat to a friend a little while ago and the guy forgot to empty the gray water. The boat stunk so bad that I had to sleep with a bandanna tied around my face and an air freshener next to my nose the first two nights. So Brock decided to take the houseboat back to the marina to empty it. If anyone has ever been on a house boat you know that they do not move very fast. probably around 10-15 mph and we were pretty far away from the marina. So while they were gone it started to rain. good thing we got the tent up just in time. It took 6 of us to get the dang thing up. Here we are all chillin in the tent while it poored. We had the generator so we had our music playin in the tent. We used our floaties for chairs. It was actually a really fun time. Me and Bronson went hiking later in the rain. It was super fun.

Lake Powell here we come...

We are off to Lake Powell, WooHoo!! It's about time this dang vacation came.. We are way over due for one. We have been looking forward to this for quite some time now. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial weekend!

HiP hIp HoOrAy!!!

The other day Bronson got a phone call from a guy that owns Sun Products. He saw Bronson's resume and was very impressed. Funny thing, Bronson was not even trying to get on with these guys any more. He put his resume in over 4 months ago and just gave up on it. Well he had an interview that day, and before the interview was over, the gentleman offered him the job. Today I am proud to announce that Bronson no longer works for Summit. He is now a full time Network Manager for Sun Products!! WooHoo!! You rock honey.. I just want you to know how proud I am of you. All your hard work is finally starting to pay off. I am so amazed in everything you do. It's a proven fact... patience is a virtue.. I would always tell him this, and now I'm thinking he believes me!

Oh and I just have to brag for a min.. Bronson and I are going to Lake Powell this Wednesday for Memorial weekend and we are not coming home till Monday! Ya, we are pretty stoked!!

Speed Racer...

On mothers day Wren and I were driving to meet up with her family so we could go on our hike.. well needless to say she has a led foot and i was trying to keep up with her as she is bobbing in and out of traffic swerving all over and she didnt even have the common courtesy to blinker. I was simply coasting down the hill going 5 over. Out of no where a cop shows up and i start laughing to myself because i think she is going to get pulled over but, NOPE he pulls me over instead!! As the red and blue lights start flashing she peels out and takes off to get far far away from the cop. Leaving me in a dust trail with Ogden's finest. I got ticket for doing 9 over the speed limit! Later that day i was diagnosed with the swine flu...

HaPpY MoThErS DaY!

Happy Mothers Day Mia..
Me, my brother Wes, dad, mom, sister Annie and Bronst

We made it to the top.. WooHoo!!!

My Wonderful family...

Uncle Mitch, aunt Aimee, cousin bracken, and Kaylee, and my Family...

I took this picture of my brother.. I love how the light is shinning through. It looks like a pro took this pic.. dang what am I doing working at America First?? J/k

Bronson picked me some flowers.. They are so beautiful huh? I think they are actually weeds, but it's the thought that counts right?

Such a Beautiful view...

Yesterday morning bright and early.. Really early.. 7:30 early. Okay... So me and Bronson didn't make it there on time, But that was Bronson's fault.. He got pulled over.. But he wants to blog about that so ill just leave it at it was his fault why we were late.. So early yesterday we went to Waterfall canyon for Mothers Day with my family, and my moms brother and his family. We all had such a fun time together. Bronson brought the perfect shoes for hiking.. NOT.. He wore shoes that don't tie.. haha it was great! The water was so cold, but after that hike it felt good to get misted. On our way back down, we found this trail and decided to venture out and explore. The picture above is what we found.. It was the most beautiful view, and the best running trail.. Oh and... We found a little lizard.. It was pretty cool. Later that day we had family over at our house for lunch, and volley ball, then we went to Bronson's grand parents for dinner and Birthdays. It was such a great day!

Mia,

I just wanted to tell you how much I love, and appreciate everything you do for our family! You are our Rock and I admire your strength. Without you in our lives we would be lost and everything would be chaos. You bring so much Faith and Hope in the family. Every day I see more and more of me wanting to be like you. Thank you for being the great example in my life. I am forever grateful for everything you do for me. I love you to the moon and back!!

PaiNtInG SuCkS!!!!

I was a little board, so I left a message for Brock on his garage wall.. Her name is Lucy
Slaving away!! Missed a spot Bronst..

We got in a little paint fight...

Looks like I won...

So me and Bronson agreed to paint his brother's garage to pay off our trip to Powell for Memorial Weekend. This whole thing has turned into a mess, what started out to sound like a good idea had turned into a night mare.. Warning.. I need to let out some frustration about this whole situation, so it's all be complaining in this entry.. I apologize! At first Brock wanted the whole garage just painted, so me and Bronst went to the store and bought enough paint to do so. Then he decided that he wanted it epoxied, Wait a second.. that was not part of the deal.. We only agreed to "paint the garage.. Oh well looks like we lost this battle.. But wait, it doesn't stop there.. no of course not.. Now he wants the garage floor not just epoxied, he now wants us to add speckle in it too.. (BROCK.. MAKE UP YOUR DANG MIND) Ahh do I look like someone who does this for a living? NO!!! So this dumb project has taken us forever. We finally got the wall's and celling painted, and have prepped the floor. Tomorrow we are laying down the dang epoxy.. And After all this Bull crap, I don't even want to go to Powell any more.. Haha funny right???

OuR FirSt SoFtBaLl GaMe..

Last night we had our first Softball game. And don't even worry, we kicked butt!! Bronst and I have never played before so it was quite interesting. Bronson did so good he played like a pro, he was short stop, and I was the catcher. Being catcher is kinda scary, I kept thinking I was going to get hit in the face with the bat. It didn't help that one of the girls from the other team told me that "she would try not to hit me" Ahhahah.. The ending score was 14-3. We all just went out and had fun with no intentions at all. We are called the Benchwarmers!!

OuR FuN Lil BiKe RidE AdVenTurE...

I was eating with Charlie. Mmm... Grass is so good!

Yesterday after Bronst and I got done babysitting my adorable lil cousins we went on a bike ride in West Layton. The street we were riding on to get to this trail was really narrow and we had this cute little grandma behind us that was scared to go around, so Bronson thought it would be funny to see how many cars we could get backed up behind us. There were about 15 before they finally started going around, it was the funniest thing!! After we got to this cool little trail covered with a ton of fruit Flies/Nat's. (I really don't know what they are called.) Pretty sure we swallowed a ton of what ever they were though, even got a couple to the eye ball, and a bunch stuck in my hair.. Yum right? Well on this cool lil adventure, we stoped at a park and watched the sunset, it was very beautiful. Then we got to watch a cool duck fight. Three lil ducks were trying to drowned this poor little helpless duckling. It eventually got away. (mean bullies) Then we found some horses on the trail and thought we would feed them. Bronson wanted to name one of the horses Charley because I got a Charley horse in my foot. When we called the horse over by Charley It actually starting trotting towards us.. It was pretty awesome!! On the way back Bronst almost got hit by a car. It was so scary but Bronst was just laughing.. lil shist.
