I love my mom! SO MUCH! Hanging on the boat after a great wakeboarding run!
I just got home from a weekend trip to Bear Lake with the family. I got off work early on Friday, so I was excited to get out of town and enjoy some down time. Yesterday was one of the best day's I have had in a very LONG time. It was a perfect day in every way possible. I started out the day riding my bike around the 52 mile loop of Bear Lake. I was completely in my element. Once I was home and very tired from my ride I met my family down at the beach. I was content just sitting there with my brothers and sisters, talking and catching up, while the kids played on a floaty in the lake. We rarely get this time with eachother and I didn't realize how bad I needed this time spent with all of them. We went for a boat ride after dinner when nobody was out on the lake. Wakeboarding is my favorite thing to do besides riding my road bike. I was like a little girl on Christmas morning when I was strapping my wakeboard on my feet, and getting ready to jump in the water. It was a perfect time of night. The sun was about to go down and the glare of the sunset on the water took my breath away literally. I was the only one out on the lake for miles. It was complete peace that I have not felt for a long time. Garrett talked me into riding the tube with him to finish off the night. Justin was the driver of the boat and he was not messing around and I thought I was going to die. I have never heard Garrett laugh so hard in my life, it was like a little boy. Garrett had also never heard me say a few choice words when I thought his 200 pound body was going to land on me as we skid across the lake! It was the best night! After we got done boating the night ended eating Bear Lake shakes and playing games. I really have the best family in the world and I am so lucky! I have never been so grateful for one weekend. It was BLISS! Here are some pictures!
My Dad, Amanda my sister and her family. Look at my dad! What a crack up! LOVE IT!
Me and my brother, he is my hero! I look up to him so much!

Me and little Ethan, he was excited because he got to hang with the adults on the boat without the other kids. He felt pretty special
