view from our room

So Ashton and I have been slackers when it comes to going to California. Since we've met we usually go about twice a year. We finally got to go down with our friends Darin and Robin and their cute kids. We stayed at Darin's grandma's house in Coronado that happened to be right like IN the water of the bay, with an amazing view. Ashton and I slept in the coolest room. The whole outside wall was glass and would slide open. For five nights we slept with it open and felt the cool ocean breeze all night. It was amazing! While we were there we went to a water park, the beach (an interesting beach- that is all i will say) a yacht ride around San Diego Bay (my favorite part). We mostly just spent time at the house. That was a vacation all in itself! It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to go back!

Lake Powell

ashton with our tent

ashton and i went to lake powell for the first time this weekend. it was so fun! we went with our friends brian, mike, megan, brielle, louis, and bonnie. we docked the boat on the beach and spent 3 nights and four days camping there. the first night was really hot, the second night there was a storm and we experienced the joys of a collapsing tent in the wind. awaking with a tent pole slapping you in the head is never fun :) but the last night was perfect. we went on a hike up a canyon that we had to drive the boat up until it became so narrow that we had to wedge it between the 2 canyon walls, then jump off and swim the rest of the way. it was really pretty! but we did have to jump in and swim through water with dead things floating in it.... and some water that was completely black and nasty. at the start i was wearing white shorts and by the end there were grey :P it was a little freaky, but way cool! i can't wait to do it again next year.

My Birthday

Ashton and Aliyah- our friends' cute baby
Cori and I on stage...... nervous!
the new finalized hair do!
birthday lunch with all of the girls in my fam!

wow i am 22 years old. pretty much a grandma now. this year for my birthday ashton took us down to vegas! we stayed at cori and matt's house and it was fun to finally see where she lives! (thanks for letting is crash there). friday night i got my hair cut- i'm sure you noticed! then we hit the strip and uhhh... spent a few bucks there.... or should i say lost. anyway, then the next night the 4 of us went to a mentalist show where the guy reads your mind and stuff. cori and i had to go up on stage! we were not happy about that, but it was ok. it was fun and we got to visit a lot of friends that we haven't seen in a while. then for my actual birthday on monday we had a big bbq with all of our friends and family. it was a great birthday!

4th of July

oh how i love the 4th of july! i just love summer! this year (as always) we went to enterprise and had brunch at my grandma's house and hung out with the fam and went to the foot races after. then ashton and i went to the sunbowl where we met up with louis and bonnie to watch the country showdown and the fireworks. go america
