Huntington Lake at night...

So I did these photos kinda backwards but Chan and his family took me out Crawdad fishing... very interesting. I am learning a lot from them from the country. I am such a city girl but I love this kind of stuff! The picture above is when Chan dumped at least 80 Crawdad fish in his dad's backyard pond!
Chandler dumped all of them in a small pond..

Here is the car ride home in the bucket..

Chandler put one on my sweatshirt and it started climbing upward......eeeeekkkkk!
Kelly and Meagan pulling the out of the water with raw chicken on a string.
Reeling up the chicken!

My camera lens didn't open up all the way when the picture was taken... Its claws were trying to turn around to grab me...

Here we all are! We had like 6 strings in the water with chicken on the end and the craw dad's would cover the piece of chicken when we pulled it up. We had 8 total on one piece of chicken at one point!

Surprise B-day

Eva and Brooklyn-


So we had this lil surprise birthday for my sister- we stayed home with the kids to decorate and bake a cake as Jaret took her to dinner. Jaret Bought Sierra one of these bicycle things that pull kids. Ya i don't know what they are called. But Chan and Jaret put it together and the kids were having a blast inside of it. Even I climbed in- I fit! It was fun!
Chan with the girls. If you cant tell... the kids LOVE him, they are all over him when we come over!


Chan hard at Work


Who knows what Chan will say to this post..lol Oh well! I appreciate him so I'm blogging it!

Chandler has been working so hard this past week in St. George- For those of you that don't know... He has been working for a company called First DATA. It is the world's largest electronic transaction companies. So he is a sales rep and he sets people up(businesses) up for a new credit card machine with better rates. A lot of businesses that have merchant machines right now might not have the best rates as far as what they are charged every time a customer swipes their credit card for payment. So he can pretty much beat any rate to where he saves the business money each month.
He was using my moms dirty messy office to write up his proposals, fax, and what not. Here I am bugging him by taking his photos. He's just so handsome in his new work clothes! Who doesn't love a business man! ;)

WELCOME home President Bennion!

Chandler and I ran up to Cedar for church last Sunday for his missionary Presidents homecoming. Pres. Bennion and his wife got home in June. We got to the church and there were like 200 missionaries there so it was a lil reunion... it was so fun to finally meet all these people that Chandler told me about thru letters. I finally got a taste of what it really was like for Chandler...These people...from his pres. to senior couples and his companions had a huge impact on his life and were there for him for two years. It really was so fun to meet them. They were all so sweet to me. They all told me how blessed and lucky I was to have such an amazing person as a husband and what a profound missionary he was! Pres and sister Bennion did an Excellent job speaking! It was an hour and a half sacrament meeting!
Since Pres Bennion was the pres. of Southern Utah University- after church he had a big luncheon for all of us over at SUU- Yummy food!
Look at what a sharp RM I have ;)

Boating at Quail Lake With Friends!

Chan and I met up with our buddie Van in St. George one morning for a lil boat ride before work down there... the water was at least 80* It was so nice!!!

K..is this old school or what!? We rode the water wienie! It was a good time!



Chan going crazy... bouncing around!
here is Chan trying to knee board on a real surf board... he got kinda wobbly... he was just practicing for Hawaii! :)
Nice GUNS BABY!!!!

At the pool with the Nieces in St.. George

Chandler and I have been in St. George for the past week. We did a lot of fun things. Right when we got there we first went to the pool with my nieces. Here they are posing like models in the front of the community center on the water fall.

Here is Eva totally getting into it! She was loving that we were all laughing and taking her photos! She was being so funny! (she'll be just like her auntie ;) haha)
Eva, Me, Chan, and Brooklyn... At this pool they have a lazy river, whirl pool, baby center with pools, toddlers pool with lots of slides and a pouring bucket, lap pool, Hydro-tube slide, and a splash pad right out side.
Eva on her daddy's back- Jaret.
Me and Eva- she was a lil swimmer
She is so fun and so sweet.

here is a clip of Eva and I coming down slide- I think I took her down that slide at least twenty times. That's all she wanted to do but I was having a blast myself! She is not scared of anything. She and I would do different things inside the slide and she would just laugh and talk to me inside the slide- then I would tell her "hurry hurry hurry sit up we gotta get ready to come out at the end" She would kinda climb off me and let me get her ready to lift her so she wouldn't go under!

Done Deal!!

Its just barely staring to hit me I think.... Chandler and I have our plane tickets to move to Hawaii on August 11Th on Hawaiian AIR!!! CRAZY! We will fly out of Vegas on that Tues and his coach will pick us up. I can hardly comprehend it! HA! I feel like I still have so much to do (sell cars, rent out our condo in Provo, pack up, leave, say goodbye to family and friends in Huntington and then down to St. George, find an apt over there when we get there, a job for me, and a car for us) I am working on all of it as I type! If any of you know of anyone looking for a place to live in Provo or a new car to buy we got just the thing! let us know ;) lol! But again, for the most part... we are so fortunate to have this opportunity to move and for Chan to get an education and for a great last two years of the basketball experience at Chaminade. You know how I am with blogging so I'm sure you will hear more! Come visit us! I'm not there yet but I already miss all of you so come see us! I felt like my flight was very reasonable- one way of course but still -the deals are out there so start searching!

Thank you Kaylene for you know what! I truly appreciate it- and YOU!
Love you!

Chandler and I spent the whole day together and had a wonderful time! We took a drive up through Deer creek and Heber to park City! It was Gorgeous!

I love Park City... I always have... It is such a fun little town! Here is main street!




The free trolley that runs the city! I used to ride that in kindergarten all over town with my sisters when I lived there...

After we walked around downtown we went up to the Alpine Slide....

Riding the lift up the mountain... I just could not get over how pretty and nice it was up there!
