Adventure #5 Trip to Ioka

We headed out from our house about 8:30 Friday Morning. We had to make a couple stops but not long either one of them. Our truck overheated a couple times going up Indiana canyon. after which we made two mental notes. Go out there over Strawberry instead, and second we need to get that fixed this summer.

We got there and went horse riding right away. We rode around the pastures that are around Trent's house. It was fun and our horses did really good. That night Trent made us dutch oven Chicken enchiladas and peach cobbler. DELICIOUS!!!

We didn't get done with dinner til I dunno 9 or 9:30. We all wanted to play a game, but by then I think we were all so beat, we just sat around watching TV until someone finally said let's go to bed.

Saturday morning right after we got up Trent's friend Logan called to see if he wanted to come ride horse and sort cows with him, so Ryan and Trent did that after they had fed the cows. and moved over a new batch they had gotten the night before.

So while Trent & Ryan were gone, Jaylee put her horse away that she had used to move cows, and then KO, I, and the kids went into town to run a few errands, and KO took me around a little bit of Ioka. I say a little bit but it was probably like all of Ioka. LOL

Olin playing baseball with himself. It was so cute!!! It was like when kids throw the ball up in the air then hit it. but he would just throw the ball up a little bit and forward then just swing his stick! What a cutie! (Sorry my finger is in the way I forgot the camera and had to take all of our pictures with my phone, which is really awkward to hold while taking pictures.)

After the boys got back we had lunch. As soon as we were done with lunch Jaylee asked if she could go play outside with Olin. Of course Olin wouldn't go with out his best bud Uncle Ryan, so he gave Ryan the come with me sign. Olin ate some chips at lunch and dropped a couple so Ryan said. "I'll come but let me pick up Olin's mess first." and Jaylee sighs and goes, "Well that's just Uncle Ryan for ya!" It was so funny. we laughed our butts off and are still laughing.

These kids just love Ryan (all kids do) especially Olin! (Even though Olin looks like he is about to cry he really was happy) Its funny because most kids are afraid of Men especially men with facial hair. But kids just love My Ryan because he is so dang loveable. But hey "That's Just uncle Ryan for ya!"

We packed up and headed for home about 4pm saturday afternoon so we could get home before darm. It was such a FUN trip. Sunday was a beautiful day we spent most of it walking around town or just sitting outside in the nice weather. We watered our lawn for the first time this year! And talked about some of the projects we want to do out there. We have done most of our projects in the house but we have deemed this summer/spring "the year of the yard." There is a lot we want to do out there we won't be able to afford this summer, but we should be able to get it pretty cleaned up! I'm excited the yard was my favorite part when we looked at the house. It probably still is!!!

Adventure #4 Horse Ride & Date Night

We had two Adventures this weekend. First Ryan and I went on a horse ride on the east foothills right before you get to Levan. MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE TO RIDE!!! I loved it. The scenery was awesome. There was a bunch of hill, logs, and revines to teach the colt stuff. It was fun.

Looking over to Levan from where we rode...

For our second adventure we went to dinner with Trent & Kortnie (my brother and his wife) and Nicole & Colby (my sister & her fiance). We went to Applebees, it was really good!!! Then after that we went to Trafalga to do minature golf!

That was so much FUN!!!

And before we started Kort and I played Dance Dance Revolution. I don't mean to rub it in but i kinda kicked her butt. LOL but in her denfense i have played before and she never had. once she got the hang of it and played against Nicole she did just as good as me!

Thanks for a fun weekend guys!

And i can't wait for our adventure next weekend!!! We are going out to Ioka to Trent and Kort's for the weekend and taking the horses!!!

Adventure # 3 Country Dancing

I really didn't think we were going to have time for an adventure this weekend because we were so busy. I had two photo shoots(I'll have to get the pictures up, they are SOOO CUTE), we helped lay tiles in Ryan's parents house, we had to do some spring cleaning in our house, Sunday we had a family party, and Ryan went to priesthood so by saturday afternoon it just wasn't looking like it was going to happen.

Ryan was going up north to go to priesthood with his dad and I needed to show photos to his mom so she could pick which one she wanted so i rode up with him. Well on the way there he told me to wait to eat and he would take me to dinner after and then he was going to take me COUNTRY DANCING!!! So not only did we squeeze in an "Adventure," it was something i had been begging him to do for a while! I love to go dancing! Thanks babe.

Also the family party was a blast i have like 6 younger cousins that are boys and one youger girl cousin that are all really in to sports so Ryan and I played elimination with them. It was so much fun! We laughed because Ryan was doing so good they were trying to figure out where he was getting his "luck" from so they decided it must be that his shirt was tucked in so they all tucked their shirts into their gym shorts! It was pretty funny. and the girl, Mckenna, was in front of Ryan and she had to try really hard not to get out by him because she said she would be so embarrased if someone got her out that was wearing cowboy boots. But eventually he got her out. Me? Let's just say im not the most althletic one in the bunch. I usually was the 2nd or 3rd person out and i think the only reason i wasn't first was just cause people took pity on me. Other than one game... i made it to the final 4 and also got Ryan out that game!!!

Had a really fun weekend even though it was busy, i had a blast doing everything that kept us busy!
