Finally I get this post up! Chandler and I bought plane tickets to go home for Labor Day weekend for my birthday! It was a quick trip but it was so worth it! Here is my sweet husband carrying our bags! The second we landed my Dad and Juanette picked us up in Vegas and we drove straight to Lake Powell. We spent 4 days on the lake and then drove straight back to Vegas and got on the plane! Its a good thing that the 5 hour flight is not that bad at all!
Here is the WHOLE family in front of our houseboat! My Dad and Juanette, Coby Sr. and Coby Jr. and his girlfriend, Ian and his girlfriend, Carol, Desi and Zeke and baby Janson, Antonio and his wife, Dennis and Kaylene, Chandler and I, Kimberly and her kids, Kevin and Lauren, Mom and Kenneth, and Sierra and Jaret and their kids! A big group but so awesome!
My dad showing everybody how strong Janson is!! 6 months old and he can do pull ups! Most infants would let their arms be limp when held like this at their wrists and being lifted up but he is so strong so he holds himself up with bent elbows in pull up position! He has a 6 pack already and little defined muscles in his back! It is hilarious!
What a stinkin cutie!
LOVE the rolls!
LOVE his speedo- and he matched Zeke in his speedo!
We watched a movie at night on top deck the houseboat with a projector.

Chandler and Zeke getting ready to load the wave runners...
We did a lot of tubing and everyone got worked by our crazy boat driver, Carol!
Chandler, Jaret, and Zeke, They were a riot to watch. They came up with every possible strategy to stay on that tube! (I have the funniest videos I will try to upload)
Palooza group 2011 was our neighbors for the weekend! So basically a group of 200 single/and married Mormon people go to Lake Powell every year and take it to the extreme!
You Name it, This group had it! A huge bike ramp from the sand hill into the lake, A tube slide off the hill, volleyball tournaments, a 20 minute illegal firework show, a dance floor with a DJ, lights, and TWO foam machines, a BLOB! And much more. They were the nicest group of people!
They kept coming over and inviting us over to hang out so we would go over and interact with them or watch them do their crazy stunts, jumps, and throws off the blob!
My sister Sierra and I and my niece Dawn went over for the foam party! It was a blast!
Here is their dance floor and tent. It was legit!
My sister Sierra and Dawn dancing
Dancing under the foam!
Dont ask!
Here is one of their houseboats and they connected the blob to it and threw people into the air all day long! It was so entertaining to watch! I wanted to do it so bad but a lot of the girls were getting bruised, and hurt-so no thanks! But my step brother did it, Chandler did it, my niece Rhiannon did it, and a few other boys in our group did it!
Here are some of the girls I met while there! They were posing on the wake ramp.
It was my birthday while we were there on Sept 4th. We had a big Luau dinner and some great Hawaiian food that my dad and Juanette did!
Janson and I at the party

Chandler and Brooklyn getting food!
Juanette made the best cake!
yes I blew out all 25 candles at once!
Later after dinner we had our own dance party with glow sticks! We open the sticks and throw the color everywhere! Its really cool!
After dancing with the glow sticks we as a family let lanterns go into the sky! Each couple got a lantern. They are these big white biodegradable lanterns and they take off of their own from your hands and you can watch them for up to two miles! It was a very special thing! It reminded me so much like the movie Tangled! I think everyone really enjoyed it!
We had such a wonderful time! I'm so happy we were able to go home for my birthday and be at Lake Powell with both our families! Oh how I making memories at Lake Powell!Some random videos!

How FUN! Thanks for the invite. Just kidding. I haven't been to Powell in over 10 years and I miss it. Happy Birthday a month ago too!!!
That was one of the best vacations ever. I loved it. I can't believe we had never gone before. I will never turn that one down ever again.
