lake powell

Myles sure loved Powell, he loved the boat rides, honking the horn, swimming with the dogs, being the center of attention, getting presents every morning from Omi, playing in the sand and Jet ski rides. He just loved being with family, and I loved all the help. Its amazing what moms can do without sleep. myles usually sleeps like an angel.This is not the case when we are out of our element, totally different story.
alot of great times on "Who Cares" Please note the USC flag. Willie was in Heaven watching football with his dad. I even put Myles in his USC jersey. I think it looked a little white trash but it sure gives me points from Willie.



Smores night was delish, we added toasted coconut and they were yummy- Willie must have stabbed himself. Gotta love candid.

Myles lived in his life vest. Its a good thing Dora and Diego sport them as well.
Myles was so excited to see everyone, especially Hallie and Rubie

Willie and I got a Surprise luau for our birthdays. Everyone decorated and dressed up. We had the best time. I was so excited, I got a NEW sewing machine. Can you tell I live in Utah. Gotta join sewing group Tuesday nights now-anything to make a friend. Ps. Ashley and Addie we miss you!

I thought for sure we were going to hit the sides here.

look at us with our hats. Jaime campaigned with Mit Romney in Boston, Wit is living in LA and USC has the cutest coach. This is after we scarfed down Root beer floats in Dangling Rope.
I don't think I will be going dark any time soon.


Thanks Omi and Grandpa for a fun time in Powell. Cant wait till next years Mexican theme. Im on the look out for a sombrero.
Myles and Willie before they flipped. After that Myles preferred the jet ski
I love Powell so much! Why is it though when your there, you eat all day and think your always starving after coming in from the speed boat. I love the packed lunches when going to Rainbow, I love Rumikub till midnight. I love the breakfast chats. I love all the trashy magazines. How great is Bobbing?? This year was a first.For those who are unfamiliar with bobbing, you put a life vest on like a diaper and you just bob for hours. Its the greatest thing ever! I was sad to part ways with Willie, I wont see him till the end of Sep. He gets to go back to Powell this weekend, so I don't feel that sorry for him. Love you babe! Watch all the College Football you want. Sorry Juliette and Megan Im the best wife.(hehe!)

Looking so good on the skies Rach... I forgot to ask if you got nervous with Myles and the water for that long.. I wanted to be part of the yummy, fire food. Fun times!

Please Rach. We already know you ARE the best, most supportive USC wife.
I'm excited for you to have a sewing machine. It will change your life.
My favorite trip is Lake Powell. Matthew has never been and it kills me. I really dream of being a Lake Powell family when I grow up! :)
