:HeLqUiSt Family CaMpOut:

    A couple weekends ago Jay and I traveled to Monticello and Blanding for a camping trip with his family! It was great to get away and see his sister and brother and their families because we haven't seen them since we got married! Jay said its been 12 years since his family went on a camping trip together! So we packed up our camping gear and took our New Nissan Frontier and our cute dogs on Road Trip! Once we got into town the party began. The guys went golfing while the girls and kids went to the pool! We spent many hours soaking up the sun and splashing around. We met the guys at the camp site and while everyone was setting up tents, trailers and campfires me, Jay and the 2 dogs snuck away to a little reservoir close by to fish. We ended the day just sitting by the fire chit chatting and Jay singing and playing the guitar for us. Oh how I have missed hearing him sing and play!! It was beautiful. 
    Day 2 started out by Me making French Toast for the whole Crew! I'd have to say I did a pretty good job dipping and flipping all that bread fast for 15 starving people! Our bellies were full and we were off for some site seeing and family pictures around town. We went to Bluff to have lunch at the Bluff Fort and my father-in-law had some fun games planned for the kids... but me and Jay joined in haha. Jay was so proud he won the sack race (against 3 to 7 year olds ha). Then we headed on over to do some more fishing. Jay caught 5 so we took them on home gutted them and Chelsea, my sis-in-law, cooked them in the fire wrapped in tinfoil with onions and lemons and lemon pepper. Now I Hate fish but the way she cooked them it didn't even taste like fish it was so delicious. We sat around the fire eating smores and stargazing and talked till we were sleepy.
    Day 3 we packed up camp and said our goodbyes and then went golfing one last time before heading home. Winnie was so pooped and tired every time I held her in the car or on the cart golfing she would fall asleep. We wore her right out. And then we listened on the Ipod to The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown all the way home. It was such a great weekend. I love his family so much and i'm so glad I get to be apart of them forever.

:D a Y s of S u M m E r:

    Well this really has been such a fun summer!! I've Definitely been SPOILED!!! My husband is waaaay to good to me. While he is out working 8 hour days and managing/babysitting 6 other guys, I get to stay home and play with Atty and Easton all day long!!! Don't get too jealous though because when the summer is over my husband is making me work harder then I have before haha. But we have decided that pretty much her and I are married to each other since we see more of each other then our husbands haha. Without Atty and little E I really don't know how I would have survived this summer. I would have been bored out of my mind! Im so sad that she is going home a month before I am! Its been way too much fun with her! We have become great friends and I feel like i'm almost Easton's second mom haha. We have shared many laughs and done lots of things girly girls like to do. Here are just a few of the activities that kept us busy this summer....
