Lake Powell July '10

Catherine Pyfer came with the Ricks' and they came to our houseboat the night before we left! Cat and I were both in Texas last summer when our husband's did summer sales. We go to the gym together now and it was fun to see her in Powell!Ty and Jett fishing on the back of the houseboatRainbow Bridge hikeThe funny thing about these pictures is that Paisley is normally a really sweet little girl, but I caught these tantrums on my camera!I love this picture of Tyler - this rainbow popped out after a little storm we had, and Ty wanted to go ride the waves on his jet ski

Lots o' fun

Chase and Maya Thayer's Wedding

Tyler's childhood friend Chase Thayer got married last night and Ty was one of the groomsmen. The wedding was beautiful and they are a wondeful couple! Congratulations!I love that I can wear 4 inch heels and still not be taller than my husband. :)Preceding this picture, Tyler told me he would never let me take a picture of just him again. I am mandatory in all of his pictures with him :)I might be biased, but I think Tyler was the most handsome one.
Maya looked beautiful. Congratulations Chase and Maya!

Lake Powell, GIrl's Night, Rodeo

Look at my cute new treasures! I'm hanging these precious little nuggets above my stove: I do love a good citrus. These babies make my kitchen look so fresh!

And I can't forget about my little African Violets. Yes please!

Saturday was a fabulous day. I made cream of wheat with toast (Ty's favorite), cleaned the inside of my car, layed out at the pool with Kim Taylor, went to get a pedicure, and went to CPK for lunch for a baby shower for a coworker of mine. That night, we went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo with Marc and Court. Of course we had to try the famous strawberries and cream, and they were delicious!We went to the carnival after the rodeo and it was closing! We were sad, but then this lady came walking around and gave us a bunch of candy apples. Don't worry, they weren't poison.We went over to Marc and Court's after to watch a scary movie. Apparently I am obsessed with scary movies lately. On Friday night, Ty and I got a snow cone, ate dinner at Bajio, then watched Shutter Island. Scary movies, what did I tell you? Sometimes....you just need a pedicure. (This picture has wierd shadows - sorry!)I made these delicious little coconut crusted chicken bites last week and had my mom and Kate over last night for dinner. Yummalicious. I served them with sweet and sour sauce. I made tilapia fish tacos last night. I do love to cook!

We went to Lake Powell a couple of weekends ago to clean the houseboat. It was busy, but worth it because we'll get to play on it all summer! We went surfing on the boat right before we left which I love and went on a two hour jet ski ride the first night. Ahhhh, summertime.

T went out of town two weeks ago Wed-Sat to take his priests to Lake Powell. Katelyn and I hiked the Y on Wednesday night, I repainted a little table that my mom got me to put in my entryway on Thursday, and on Friday my mom and Jocelyn and I went to dinner at Zupas then shopping. Katelyn slept over that night and then T came home the next day and we went to CPK for dinner. My mom highlighted my hair that same day, and this past week I got it cut. Ahh, three inches shorter feels great sometimes.
