LIFE...

Well so I thought I would give you all a little update on our lives, since we have been bad bloggers as of late!!
Rand is currently jobless at the moment, but is doing many little odd jobs with his buddy Chase Oborn that I am pretty sure keep them both extremely busy. They are thinking of starting their own business with each other. Are you all ready to hear what this job they came up with is??? CARPET CLEANING.... I know what you are all thinking, who in there right minds would let Chase and Rand clean their carpets?! Or even in their homes... ha ha... But let me just boost their confidence for the moment by saying these two boys are the hardest workers! They put there best into everything they do, and that just goes to show how amazing all their finished products look. In taking up this so called business of theirs they are going through Chase's uncle(Todd) who owns a flooring company to help them with getting started. So cross your fingers that it all works out... They also have recently, and by recently I mean this month, have been helping one of Chases uncles(Mark) with his sprinkling system. These boys came home everyday just dead from all their hard work! Now just to mix things up a bit they are helping Chase's other uncle(Todd) with his warehouse, and carpet tare outs. Its pretty challenging or so I heard about it from Rand last night. The poor boy had a blister on his arms from all the moving of carpet they were doing, but one thing is for sure these boys are getting HUGE MUSCLES!!! ha ha. or at least me and I am sure Katie are looking forward too!! ha ha. Oh yeah and couple things Rand is doing, he is starting with Prime America, its a financial planning company. So hopefully that will be something that will work out for him... Plus he is teaching golfing lessons, so if you or anyone you know could use some, or if you know anyone like myself who is horrible at it, just let Rand know, he is really great at giving lessons!! Matter of fact he is teaching 7 kids next week!! I know it will be so much for them, my little brother always loves going with Rand!

As for me, I am really just loving being a sugar mama! ha ha. Seriously though I have come to terms with working every day through summer, althought its been super hard!! I am currently working for an Life insurance company in down town Salt Lake. I cant really say that I am a huge fan of my job, and I am always keeping my eye out on something closer to home (Fruit Heights). So if any of you know of anything throw me a bone. ha ha. I am also currently becoming quickly obsessed with my latest workout program, the RPM (spin) class at Performmax Gym... it honestly is the best class, and its really getting me into biking, which is a surprise to me. I really never thought I would love biking like that but I happened to fall in love with yet, another excercise program!! I am loving looking at apartments, it will be nice to decorate a place of my own! I cant wait!

Finally... Lake Powell

Can I just say that I wait for this trip to come around every year... I love waking up to the sun, going for an early morning ski with my dad, wake boarding, getting a tan, boating and playing games all day long! This is honestly the family trip that I look forward to every year! This year was even better cause Rand was with me and he made the trip that much more of a blast. Honestly we laid awake at night just watching the stars, one night we even saw one enter the earths atmosphere! We also heard some pretty funny stories that the little kids told as well and the jokes the parents told us! Lets just say we were the the bunt of many of the jokes being "newly weds", but hey we handled it, it was also an anniversary for us, we had been married one month!! That is weird to think that we have been married for that long. I am excited to see what other fun things we have in store for us this year and the many to follow!


This is Taylor and Morgan, they are sisters!! They have another sister that came and her name is Bailey, she is a crazy woman!


This is cutie Ashton and her dad Trevor!!


We all hiked up to this amazing hole in the rock, but on the other side it was a shear drop off. It was really neat to really get to see gods wonderful creations at hand.


This was funny, we let the little kids hang on the boom bar, man oh man i have never laughed so hard. Check out the video!


Then Jenna decide to paint the boys toenails.... they were HOT PINK!!


Of course the boys had to try and kill themselves and do cliff jumping, this was right next to the cave.


We went into this cave and played around inside, it was really neat. One neat thing about Powell this year is the what is rising so fast, we went back a couple days later and this cave was pretty much under water.


This is our nephew Spencer, he learned how to wake board



This is my little Bro, Colter, Wake boarding

This is Ashton, isn't she a cutie?



This was Jenna and I riding behind the boat, mind you my pants and swim suit bottoms kept coming off... it was horrible

Fourth of July!!!

For the Fourth of July, we had an amazing day of parading, dining, fireworks, and fun! We had a weekend of sleepovers with the Oborn's, mixed with some laughter all along the way. A lot of that laughter came as we went to see Baby Mama at Kaysville Theater, haha! Katie, who works for KSL, had to drive the KSL Hummer through the Kaysville Parade. While Madi and Katie rode up front, Chase and I hung out in the back inside of the tinted windows (we didn't want to be seen). We ate some dinner at Firehouse that night and enjoyed the fireworks at Davis High. All in all, it was a great Independence Day and it reminded us of how blessed we are to live where we do and enjoy the blessings that we enjoy. May we all remember how lucky we are...God Bless America!

Honeymoon Pictures...Finally!

I managed to finally get some pictures uploaded on Madi's computer from our honeymoon to Las Vegas, so here they are! We spent most of our time just lounging around and laying by the pool. It was great to escape the stresses of everyday life and wedding planning! We went to see Tony n Tina's Wedding at the Rio, which was entertaining...but they were fascinated with us being LDS and they had tons of questions!! It was a good time though. Hopefully these pics give you an idea of how our marriage is going...AWESOME!
