Lake Powell

I remember going to Lake Powell with my family when I was younger and thinking, "this is my favorite place in the world". I remember running down the sandy hills with my cousins and sleeping on the boat with Austin. Tubing for hours.. cruising around the lake as fast as we could. Ice cream cones on the dock.. Ah, I have always loved Lake Powell.

We went with the Tobler's in June and it was just as wonderful as I remember. Here is my happy list from our trip, and pictures, of course.

-Cafe Rio before we left for our trip
-getting to Kanab much faster than we thought!
-waking up giggling.. Sometimes I am so hyper in the mornings
-boating on beautiful Lake Powell!
-wakeboarding & getting up on my first try! (it has been a few years..)
-tubing with Meagan
-sandwiches on the beach
-dinner & Safeway's ice cream
-the most delicious french toast I've ever had
-a very friendly waiter from the Philippines
-relaxing
-swimming at the pool with Kaden, Meagan, PJ, & Jared
-pina colada by the pool
-Kaden and his water gun
-a dinner cruise on the Lake. It was so beautiful and a wonderful time.
-swimming under the stars
-talking with Meagan in the hot tub
-Kaden "swimming" back & forth
-showing Kaden the stars and him saying, "I just can't believe it!"
-going to the Antelope Slot Canyons. It was so breathtaking..
-an indian tour guide who said he use to play in the slot canyons when he was little. He helped me out a lot and took many pictures of me and Jared.

-touring Bryce Canyon
-pizza & coke for dinner
-a very adorable candy store with very yummy FUDGE!
-Willis Creek.. so pretty.

Kaden-bug

I love my little nephew, Kaden. Jared and I are sooo excited to be getting a new little nephew to love in the Fall! :)


p.s. We just got back from Lake Powell (with Kaden, himself!) and we are leaving for Oregon in a few days. It's busy but.. amazing. I have been having a blast. More pictures to come soon!

Family Reunion

Favorite Moments..

-Playing on the playground with Jared and our nephew, Kaden.
-Jared buying the cheesecake for me in the dessert auction instead of the peanut butter bars he wanted so badly. (how sweet!) Anyone have a good peanut butter bar recipe??
-Learning more names of the Tobler Family. (Life long process, I think.)

Reason 1,023 I love being married..

One morning last week, I slept in. (6:07 to be exact!) I hurried with my morning rituals and at one point, opened the door to our bedroom. To my surprise, Jared was standing by the door and startled me very badly! (Not surprising because, I jump very easily. Some even say that I'm "jumpy.") Also, it was very early and I was expecting him to be deeply sleeping. We both laughed and then, he said with a monotone and sarcastic, "Boo." That's good humor that early in the morning, if you ask me.

After Jared found out I was running late, he got my granola bars and pudding packs together and then he went outside to warm up my car. After that, we kissed goodbye. Rumor has it after I left for the day, Jared even made muffins. :)

P.S. Here's reason number 1,024 & 1,025 & 1,026...
