blankets!

ok, so my reading has slowed down a little. so i guess i have no excuse for laziness in posts. anyway, for those of you who know me well enough you know that i obsess about blankets. well of course i have to pass that obsession down. so lately when ammon wakes up he likes to throw all of his blankets(he almost always has 3) out of his crib and then when i pick him up he points to each one of them as i pick them up. also, when i get him out the tub i wrap him up in a towel and then he wants his blankets too. so this morning, i went in to get him, same routine, this time he wouldn't just let me take one of his blankets with us he needed all of them.:) i love it. blankets to me are such a comfort. even when im sweating at night i still need my blanket by me. my family will always have blankets around the house. i guess the fight will be which one belongs to who.

A quick break!

Sorry for my lack of posting. I'm taking a break because thanks to Jaimi I cant stop reading. After she got home from her trip she brought me the first two books of the Twilight series and said I needed to read them. Now that I've read those I had to get the 3rd. Luckily Richards mom came to my rescue. Her house is practically a library. Anyway, So now I can't stop! :) So anyone who hasn't read them, you need to. I can't believe how into them I am. Now I just have to wait till Aug. 2 from book #4 to come out! So for the heads up you may not see a post for a few more weeks.

Our Camping Trip

We planned a trip down to Bryce Canyon this year with some of my family. And like any trip it can't be perfect. Something has to go wrong, right? Well off we went on our 3-3.5 hour drive to the canyon. Only really it took us at least 5 hrs. This is why. We were more than half way there and Matt noticed something fly out of Mike's truck. So we pull over and this is what we found!



Good thing we had the guys with us. I have never changed a flat tire in my life. Maybe I should once so I at least know what to do.
So we finally made it to camp. It was such a pretty place. I have lots of pictures so I will show only a few.

We went on some long(really long) 4-wheeler rides. I love to just sit back and enjoy nature. Of course it was a little hot, so I did get a little sunburned. But who couldn't use a little more sun? And, we seemed to always end up being the last ones in line. So as you could imagine we were covered in dirt from the 5 4-wheelers in front of us. You'll see a picture of my feet. That's not just a tan line it's a dirt line.

While we were on one of our really long rides to our surprise Mike had led us to a lake. Let me just say, it was so refreshing. Mike actually got all the way in, fully clothed. After seeing him do that, I was really tempted. The water was so clear you could see little baby fishes swimming all around your feet.

Ok, one more thing. Since we were in Bryce Canyon we had to go to the park. Let me just say, WOW! It was amazing! Here are some more pictures.
