There are a few technical difficulties with the video that happened during the down load. Keep watching the best part is at the very end. Watch Dexter on the right hand side. He can hang on with the big boys when it comes to tubing but towards the end he decided to spread his wings, REALLY. We enjoy hours of entertainment on this thing.

It took Joels uncle Brock 3 times and he finally got it. I thought he was down and he pulled it off right at the end. Wow!

Oh what fun it is to ride!

Aaww! Taking a break.

Me and the kids just got back from spending a week at our house in Idaho. Poor Joel was stuck working. He was able to get away for the weekends though. We spent the 4Th of July with my parents, my sister Alli and Drew. We had a big water fight and then went for the annual BBQ and fireworks at my grandma J's. The 4Th is kinda a anniversary for Joel and I. 10 years since we reconnected or actually started dating, that's a whole nother blog on its own. I love the 4Th of July. We woke up early Saturday morning with my parents and our friend TG and headed to Idaho and the Lake. Where I surfed for the first time with out the rope, It was awesome. It was a short trip for the rest of them and they headed home Sunday afternoon. The kids and I stayed and got the house cleaned, pulled weeds, and planted some flowers. Okay, so maybe that's what I did. The kids played with cousins, rode their bikes, played with Coltons puppies and went to the park. Joel came back up on Thursday and we hit the lake again on Saturday. It's not summer with out going to the lake every Saturday, Right!? We weren't that excited but we headed home on Sunday. Its funny the second we hit Ogden that stress factor was back in to place. Strange how when I'm at home in Utah I always have ten million things to do around the house and such. But when I'm at home in Idaho all those things don't matter. I think that's why we like it there so much. You might be thinking that's because you don't actually live there. But seriously the whole town has that demeanor. It's just slower paced there. Aah! Until next time.

Fun in the Sun!

We were finally able to test out the boat this weekend. We were at Utah Lake with some long time family friends. The weather was great, the water was still cold but we had a good time. The first tube ride of the season was awesome. Camryn loved it, and she is usually a little nervous. I think Sam and I hold the record for the tube getting the highest off the water. And I think I hold the record for launching the farthest off the tube. Joel was determined that the tube could not be flipped. I think it was just the driver, because as soon as I got to the wheel It didn't take long before they were both in the water. We definitely felt it the next morning. We always say we are to old to beat ourselves up like this. But we some how love it and keep coming back for more. It was so nice to not have Joel frustrated all day at the lake like with the last boat. Sam was the test dummy (or the only one skilled enough) to board on the rough water.

Enjoy the pics. Hope you can join us next time.

Rush and Rush until life's no fun...

I don't even know where to begin. We are finally done with the kitchen remodel. Joel says never again, but I bet it does before our life time is over. I love the way it turned out. You know how you have all these ideas of what you think it will turn out like but there is always that doubt in your mind. It definately gave it the feel I was hopeing for. Now I just got the painting to finish. And the rate I'm going it will be done this time next year. Ha Ha. I hope not. I wish I could calm the things going on in my head long enough to share things about me. My sister in law Kinzy always writes the coolest blogs. I love reading what she has to say.
I hate being so busy all the time. It seems like even we we can go be with friends no one else can hang out, or wants to hang out. I feel like we told everyone we were so busy all the time that now we have no friends. And I know they have lives to but I feel that I haven't even seen my sister or brother since I don't remeber. We used to see my brother or talk to him everyday when he worked with us. He and joel have been really close the past few years. And now nothing. I feel bad that even at night when we are home with the kids all we do is have to go to the store or end up doing work from home. And I wonder if they get to do all the fun things that kids what to do. Or if I give them the attention that they need. I was laying in bed trying to get hunter to sleep last night and realized that I hadn't "really" kissed Joel that day. Besides the, "Bye have a good day", half asleep one that he gives me in the morning when he leaves. I wish one of these weekends we could stay in our pj's all day, watch movies, play games, color( I like coloring to kinzy), put a puzzle together. I haven't done that since before I had kids. I loved puzzles. And not worry about laundry or the phone or even the dirty dishes in the sink. But who knows if that will ever happen.
I have a saying in our computer room that says "Never become to busy making a living that you forget to make a life" and I'm affraid I gotten to busy to even read it lately.
I'm sorry to those of you that have been pushed oway by us being so wrapped up in work and making a living that we forgot what was really important to us, Our friends and family.

Well things have been very crazy but I thought I would take a few to let you know how things were. Well I am finally getting the kitchen redone. So that's were all our time has gone to. I guess all the nagging finally paid off. And of course I have to paint now too. It will look like a new house I'm so excited. We just got back from spending a week at our house in Idaho. And we dread coming back everytime. We went to Joel's cousins baptism, which got cam excited for hers. They both went up close to watch at the font. And of course Hunter being alittle nervous with going under the water says, " Iz not gettin baptized." So yeah we are signing up for swimming lessons SOON to get over that fear. We were able to get some yard work done and take the boat for a spin. I am so glad the weather is finally turning warmer. I hate the cold. We are so ready for the camping and boating season to come.
