Lake Powell 2023

We had an amazing trip to Lake Powell last September. We spent the week on Brant and Lindzee's house boat. The weather was amazing and their boat was so nice. They also had a wake-surf boat that we took out everyday. Food was amazing, full drink fridge, comfortable beds, swimming, horse-shoes, volleyballish game (can't remember what it is called) friends, laughter and sun. They did some high cliff jumps, tried a rope swing, driving up a slot canyon and partied for some birthdays. My birthday was the last day and it was so fun to celebrate with everyone. 

 

Mariner's Games 2023

Rally Time and we even won...but we needed someone else to lose.

 Since Phil doesn't get tickets from work with his new gig we had to buy tickets this year to the Mariner's games. We were able to get a few to the last games of the season. We took mom while she was here after watching the kids while Phil and I were at Lake Powell. It was super rainy, but we were able to have a good time. It is always so fun to go to the games.

Driggs 2023

 This year was different because we were only able to stay 1 week and people were coming and going and we missed Miya and Cannon being with us the whole time. The weather was amazing and it was so good to see everyone we could. Ryan had to head back to Jordan for work and Nicki was staying until August so she was the last to leave. Miya went the week before we did so she could be with all the older girls. Lyla flew out the Monday before we went on Friday so she could have time with all her cousins. Michael was there for 2 days so we had to party hard. We played pickleball, swam, golfed, volleyball, ice cream and loved being together. It was still much harder being in Driggs this summer and expecting to see dad in all the places he would normally be, mowing his lawn, coming in from golf with the guys, hanging out in his bedroom, loving on all the kids. I sure do miss him. It was great to be with mom and I am excited to have her come here in September. 

Sewer Connection Lawn Destruction 2023

 We have been working on getting permitting done for this project since covid happened 2020, but this summer we were finally able to get this project going. We are down to the final finishing wall down by the cabin and then will be finished. So exciting to be able to wash more than 1 load of laundry a day and take longer than 5 minute showers, or at least not having to tract the kids showers. It seems like a ton of money spent for things I can't really see, but am excited to use. It was fun to find this old septic tank down by the cabin and get in the new grinder pump. Fingers crossed that we don't have any problems for a long time. 

Bair's in Idaho

We were able to go to Jordan and Brandon's house and hang out for an evening this summer while we were in Driggs. It was fun to see their girls show off their animals and driving around the razors. They are such great people and have been so good to Cannon with him working for Brandon getting ready for the Rokman games. Always fun to be with good friends.
