Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell in mid August. We had a perfect week. The weather was amazing. Not to hot, never cold. My kids were very well behaved. We never had a huge, I am so tired I have been on vacation too long MELTDOWN. It was so fun. All the kids could play. We all went cliff jumping and no one had to stay back with the baby. We all played as a family. Everyone got themselves dressed. It was very relaxing. Matt on the other hand, worked his tail off. It was our first time taking the house boat out. The house boat was hand made in 1916. So it has a few quirks. Matt was smoothing out the quirks the WHOLE trip. He was so HANDY. Matt has really evolved into a mr. fix it. And this is me. Doing what I love. Man we went out every morning as the sun was coming up. The water was perfect glass. My mom stayed back with the kids while they woke up. AAAHHH best time ever. I really had a great time. Thanks matt for working so hard so we could play.

Our summer

We are alive and well. We went to mexico the first week of summer and I think I left my camera there. It was on its last leg anyway. So anyone that has any pictures of my summer please email them to me. I have spent the morning ripping off everyones ranch pics.

Smith Family Ranch

We go to the ranch every year over the twenty fourth of July. I love it. I look forward to it all year. My kids love it. We played paintball. Fear factor, night games, kayak down the river, movies, hookie six, delicious food, we biked to wyoming and back. I am already planning for next year. I really love my in laws. We left the kids in the suburban(with a movie) while we played. So at the end we gave them a little open shooting time. Canyon( with a little help from oj) shot through my mask and gave me a bloody nose.

Go Team Orange.

The ranch is fly fishing only. BUT matt took the kids down and used a worm and they caught some pretty big fish.

That is lanee's fish. This is our third year and I have yet to catch a fish. I am good at a lot of things but fishing is not one of them.
