THAT'S ALL FOR NOW

I have been getting so bored with this blog of mine (and Matt's). I have thought about just deleting it all together but, haven't had the guts to do it. I enjoy looking at others blogs. Between that, pinterest and online shopping I can stay entertained for awhile.
Well anyway, I'll give an update of whats been going on. Matt and I are working our fingers to the bone (Ok, not really. But it, seems like it). We have been up to Hatch quite a bit this summer. We had two reunions and friends come up as well. Camping over at Tropic Res. to go watch my Momma and her BF Jeanette run the Bryce 1/2 marathon (they rock). Went to the SLC a few times to visit my sister and her adorable family. We are planning some sort of small trip right before school starts. And speaking of school, I will be quitting my job to focus on school and drum roll please, I will finally be graduating from college in May. I honestly thought this day was never going to come. But, it's happening, I can see the end of the tunnel. We will see if these next two semesters are going to be hell or not. I'm hoping not. That's all I have for now. Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Two movies, two naps, a rhino ride, and loading up the horses. Hard life right?

We had fun as I mentioned but, it was time to head home. Goodbye Lucky 7 Ranch, until... sometime this week? It was great to see both of our families this weekend and we ended the night watching fireworks while we fell asleep.

This year for the water relay the Mark Walter family won! The last few years Matt's uncle Scott's family had taken the trophy. But, this was a new year. It is always fun time. The relay consist of a bike ramp, canoeing, zip line, and rope swing. It's fun to watch the boys and this year a few of my Sister-in-Laws and I decided to do our own team since there were another group of girls we figured we would at least try and beat them. Ang and I did the canoe and, I figured that was safe and I didn't need to get in the water since I didn't take my swimming suit to go swim. Well, at the end of our canoeing we had to touch a pole so the person going on the zip line could then go. Well with our mad canoeing skills we were a little further from the pole so we couldn't just reach out and touch it. So I thought, we are close enough I will just hop out and touch it. I went to get out and lets just say that it was a little deeper than I thought and my feet got caught up, I went under. We did end up beating the other womens team and I was soaked. It was fun and we got a few laughs out of it.

Tonight ended with an awesome firework show put on by Matt's Uncle Scott and his boys. The Lincoln was all done up and we had some huge fireworks. I'm not talking about fireworks you buy from Wal-Mart. I'm talking about fireworks that the ranch puts on for the entire town. It is always a great show but, tonights was one of the best.

May Brutis rest in peace. This was the big steer at the ranch that had to be laid to rest. We picked him up today so he can be mounted in the pavilion at the ranch. He will forever be remembered and hang for everyone to see.

So we stayed in the cabin for the reunion and this was what we woke up to this morning. The cows got out and I guess they were waiting for us to wake up.

So, the camera died before I could take one picture at the Leany reunion. The next best thing was Matt's phone. The ranch is such a beautiful places. There are some awesome flowers and views. It's a nice place to visit and get away from things.

Today, (so far) has been a great day of relaxing, reading, and more relaxing. And yes, I said reading. For all of you that know me, you know that I'm not much of a reader. I'm almost done with this book. :)

Today was such an nice day up here. I kicked my boots off, got in the hammock on the deck, and started reading. I'm loving this weather and long weekend.

["So smooth you could rub your butt across it."]

Matt has been doing more cabin construction lately and

I decided to come up and help out.The cabin is coming a long.

Matt has started on the sheetrock, the deck is almost done,

painting after that and then the floors.

We are hoping that we can have those things done before

the end of next month. Then there will just be a few "small" things

we need to finish.

Dozer wanted to play with the Llamas but,

it ended up being a game of chase.

Doz loves coming up to the ranch and playing with

all the animals.
