Saying goodbye on our porch

This was our view from our hotel, it was awesome!

With my work I travel quite a bit to visit clients and or go conferences. Sometimes I will go by myself but sometimes Nate will come with me. It always depends on where I am going if its cool he comes and if not he stays home with Maggie. I had a conference in Orlando so this time he wanted to come so did his little brother Trevor or JimBZ as we call him. We flew out on Saturday the 13th of Sept and as we were getting on a plane to fly out we had a new nephew coming in. Nates sister was expecting a little boy but didn't think he would come for a few more days but little did they know baby tank was ready to come so while we were in Florida baby tank arrived! He is so cute and we love him so much! We flew in 2 days early so we could spend some time on the beach in Daytona. It was awesome. We parsailed I went 1000 feet of line with Nate and then he went again with Trevor 2000 feet of line because 1000 just wasn't high enough for the 2 of them. We all saw sharks and Nate and Trev saw Dolphins, sharks and mantirays. It was so scary but so fun! Our hotel was right on the beach so we would wake up have breakfast and then hit the beach. We all wished we had more time in Daytona cus it was a blast.. minus all the sharks! Monday we drove to Orlando got settled at our hotel the Villas of Grand Cypress and went to eat. Tuesday Nate and Trevor went to the Orlando cable park to have some wake board lessons and ride the cables. I had to work so I worked while they played! after work went over to see how they were doing! that night I had dinner with some clients got home late and to my surprise the boys wanted to go on the sky coaster at like 11pm I was so tired and wanted to kill the both of them! They went up 300 feet and dropped and then of course when they were done wanted to do it again so they did! On Wednesday I had to work most of that day till about 3 then I got home Nate wanted to go to a water park but I was waiting to meet with a client and couldn't get wet so I said lets go to Universal so if I have to leave early to 2 can stay and play. That was the biggest mistake of the trip. We went to get tickets and Nate had a great idea to get a 2 day pass incase they wanted to go back.. 255.00 later we were in Universal rode about 3 rides then we all got sick and so hot and wanted to go home so for an hour and a half we spent 255.00 on tickets! I was sick not physically but just because of the money we waisted! It also screwed up the plans later on in the trip! That next day I went to work in the morning and then we went to Sea World that afternoon. We all loved Sea World we rode Atlantis, and Krackn., and watched the shamu show. Nate was the travel guide and in charge of the map he had us running from one place to another! On Friday we hung out by the pool, tried out the boats, nate and Trev went golfing and I went shopping. Saturday was the day we were going home. Nate and Trev were going to go to the wake board park 1 last time and I was going to go shopping it was perfect! We got all ready pulled up to the park and come to find out there was a pro competition going on so they couldn't ride. So it was all messed up now! We went back to the hotel, got packed up and it took us forever to figure out what we were going to do till our flight left. We ended going back to Sea World to see another Shamu show and then going and watching the guys at the cable park. After the pros were done Trev wanted to go and show them what he has so he went out there we were getting close to having to leave for the airport and I kept telling Nate he we need to go.. he would say oh its alright we have plenty of time! Well lets just say we ended up running though the airport, barley made our plane and when we got to SLC Nate's and Trev's bags were still in Orlando for Late check in! It was a great trip the only thing that could have been better is if Mags could have some we missed her so bad! We had tons of fun got a lot of sun but by the end of 7 days we were all ready to come home!

LAKE POWELL W/ REEDERS

FINALLY we got the Reeders to come to Lake Powell with us! Jk it was so fun we went over the Labor Day weekend. Kassy called me on Wednesday asked me what Nate and I were doing this weekend I said nothing but we really want to go to Lake Powell. So I called Nate she called Jason and we were able to put it together in less then a day and 24 hours later they were on their way down to Utah in their new Suburban to pick us up. We rode with them and we just put the boat behind the new burb and it pulled it like a champ minus the 10mpg we got!! They live in Boise so this was going to be a 12 hour drive for them (thank goodness for DVD in cars!) They got to our house at 1:30am slept till about 3:30am and then we were off to Lake Powell. Jason got in his zone with his headphones and some funky energy thing and while we all slept he drove! Hes great! Maggie also got to come on this trip it was her first one to Lake Powell and she loved it! We borrowed the Harwards houseboat for the weekend which was great found us a spot to anchor and we were ready to go! Nate was the captain and did a great job, this was our first adventure by ourselves so it was a little intense but it was so fun. We pulled out the tube and the boys went on them and loved it, Me, Kassy and Wyatt (we got him so Nate didnt kill us) got on them and then it was Jason and Nates turn. It was pretty funny, Nate taught Jason how to barrel roll and Nate was jumping on Jason with his tube.. it was fun. We surfed (boys hated it!) jumped cliffs and Porter was the Champ, Wyatt loved riding in the boat and hanging on the beach and Cohl jumped off the house boat and got up on the wake board. It was great weather for the first day but then it was on and off again. We all slept up top the first 2 nights but the last night it was so windy and then started to rain so Nate Maggie and I went down below. The last day we went wake boarding, Nate went out did awesome as usual and then it was my turn!... well I was doing good but just had to push it one more time..well that one more time caused me a knock out, concussion, pulled mussels in my neck, and 3 chipped teeth!! I crashed so hard and it hurt so bad. I started to cry looked in the mirror and saw my teeth then cried harder. They took me back to the houseboat I laid down and continued to cry everything hurt. Kass said I was asking the same questions over and over but I dont believe her! jk Nate was great he took awesome care of me! We left that day and drove home which was so painful we got home around 1am and that next day I hurt so bad! I couldn't move my neck, my head killed and I just wanted to sleep. Nate took good care of me though out the week cooked dinner which was take out! and got me whatever I needed. My parents came and stopped by and Kass and Jay were awesome too! It took me about a week to recover, I got my teeth fixed 600.00 later and since then have not been back on a wake board! We had so much fun with the Reeders and hopefully we can find a boat and get a share together so that this can be a tradition!
