It's been a loooong time....

Since my last post! Sorry about that (not that anyone reads this anyway!) but we have been SUPER busy lately with our vacations and work and the house and everything in between! I don't know where to even start.....lets see ummm well the first weekend in June we went to LAKE POWELL my favorite place EVER! We left Thursday afternoon and got to the lake at like 9:00 that night so the plan was to camp out on the beach at lone rock....yeah right...we got there and it was soooo packed there was no place to set up two tents and park the trailer and the boat so we ended up just a little bit up the road at the camp ground...which in the end was a great little place and there was no more than two or three people in that campground the entire time we were there! The weather was ok not the best but we still had a great trip! Round two in September hopefully!
The next adventure we took was to DISNEYLAND with Carl's family...the next weekend! Our flight was suppose to leave at like 5:00 on Thursday but since we had such crappy weather that whole week our flight was delayed until 6:20 so we hung out at the airport and finally we made it to the Long Beach airport at around 7:40 ish I think something like that....It was sooo much fun both Carl and I hadn't been to Disneyland for a LONG time and were so happy Carl's aunt invited us! We love hanging out with Carl's family since it we don't get see them as much as we would like but we loved every minute of the whole trip! Thanks again Melanie for taking us to the airport! I have more pictures but lost my cord for my camera so when I find it I will post them but for now here is a picture of the group!

We have been doing a lot to the yard the last few weeks which if I may say is the biggest pain in the butt! I hate all of the stupid weeds we have in our flower beds and I hate how many flower beds I have! I have decided to kill EVERYTHING in them so that next year I can start nice and fresh! Carl has been wanting to put a fire pit in the backyard and we are finally going to start doing that (now that he has burnt a hole in the grass from having fires in the pit by just setting it on the grass) hahaha and we are going to be cutting down one huge tree and part of our cherry tree....Axle seems to love to eat the cherries that fall on the ground and spit out the pits in a pile on the patio! Makes for one smelly beagle! The two dogs are getting along great now...at first they weren't so nice to each other but now they are great Axle even protects Lola when other big dogs bark at her on walks! He puts his butt right in front of her and bumps her to the side it's cute! We are loving this warm weather FINALLY and have just been taking advantage of it the last couple weeks with all of the above and a few boating trips! From now on I will try and keep the blog up to date and post the pictures from Powell and Disneyland and maybe a few pics of what the house looks like now! I'm excited to have a weekend off of work this weekend and excited to celebrate the 4th with our friends and family!

P.S. Carl has been texting me all morning and insists that we NEED to move to HAWAII and I think he is being serious....haha
