Just a thought

I'm getting really tired of driving to and from work and passing the "rotten eggs" part of the freeway. Why can't the Salt Lake smell like a bed of roses?? Just sayin.

Bryce Canyon/Mesquite

We were able to spend a few days at Bryce Canyon and Mesquite this past weekend. It was a nice couple of days away from school and work and well, just life in general. Get ready for A LOT of pictures. Who doesn't like pictures right?

This is us hiking Bryce Canyon. We had just got there after driving about 5 hours so we were a little tired, but the hike was beautiful.

See...beautiful right?

This is my failed attempt at getting a cool group shot.

Megan and a baby tree.


Me on our hike. This is before I wanted to die. lol. I'm out of shape.



Double bridge.


Our second day there, we went horseback riding through a slot canyon.


Mom, Carlie and Austin.



During our horseback ride, we went on a mini hike to sight see.

There were blooming cacti everywhere.

It was so beautiful.

Carlie on her horse Rosie.

Austin and I were the privileged individuals who were able to ride the mules. I was on Jake...

and Austin on Alice.

Here's the slot canyon we rode through.


It was a tight squeeze in some spots.

The next day was spent golfing in Mesquite.

It was pretty hot, as you can see in Dave's face. :)

This hole was amazing. If you look really closely, you can see the tee. I've marked it on the photo. Longest hole ever!

Unfortunately, Dave and I forgot to wear sunscreen while golfing. I'll never forget again. This was that night at the pool party. It looks much worse here than it does now.

It still hurts pretty bad though. I'm still cursing myself for forgetting.

Me and Beth

Adam and Carlie. Poor Adam got the worst sunburn out of all of us. Ouch!

Wow, that WAS a lot of pictures. Congrats to you if you got through all of it. It was a relaxing weekend. It's always nice to get away from everything for a little bit. Now, it's back to the old grind.

Summer begins

The days have started to merge together for me. I can't believe it is already June! I'm loving it. Not much of anything new is going on. Here's a peek at what I've been up to lately. Spent some much needed time with a friend. :) Let's get together again Whit! (p.s. I thought the blue eye shadow brought out your eyes perfectly! ;) lol)
Took Brewer to get groomed. Ha, he came home with this hilarious bandana tied around his neck! I about died laughing. Although I do admit I thought it was ridiculously funny, he was still super cute with it on!
Crafts. This is me working on Jolynns class gifts. I can't believe how red my hair looks in this!
Attended a wedding reception with the fam. Aren't my sisters beautiful!? I love them.
And, I've spent quite a bit of time with this little turd. He can be a handful, but I love him! Here he is enjoying the tulips!
I'm looking forward to going here and here this weekend! It's about time Dave and I took a vacation. A short one, but a vacation nonetheless! We leave on Saturday and it can't come soon enough!

Private

In the past, I have always hated it when people make their blogs private. Well, I've decided that making our blog private is the best route to go.

So, you know the drill, if you'd like to keep reading about our crazy exciting lives ;), please leave me a comment with your e-mail so you can be added to our reader list. Please don't be shy. We love readers! I would just like to know who is reading! :) (and as I've stated in previous posts, I probably read your blog too!) Also, to those of you who read our blog, but do not have a blog of your own, you can still follow when we go private.

You can leave a comment below or e-mail me at aebland@gmail.com. Thanks everyone! We'll be going private in a few weeks.

Note: I'll be making my Project 22 blog private as well. Anyone that wants to be added to our personal blog will be added to that one as well!
