-go boating where we skiied, surfed, rode the water wienny, and drove off to annies bay where we hiked to some indian ruins and went swimming. we found a huge tree in the water that we would balance and play on.
- Rode the Wave runner where we rode the waves, went tubing, morning skiing, and surfing behind. Blake and I rode over to a place where his family used to camp at when he was growing up.
- we played the guitar at night
-celebrated siennas 2nd birthday with cupcakes
- there were scorpieons found under some of the tents... scary
- built sandcastles
-washed our hair...mermaid style
- sat and talked
- ate jammies! ... our new favorite treat (thanks to the lungstogs/ blakes boss)
-got lots of sun...got the sunburns to prove it.
-the boat would give us some troubles but alway seem to start up again.
-some of the kids including britten seem to take a liken to me and that was fun to play with them.
-we had some huge wind storms... someone would say "dinner" and here comes the wind! i mean very windy. we would hold on the times, the sand could hurt hitting you. the wind storm started while we were on the water wienny and the waves were huge! we sure flew! lots of fun!
- the ride back was with the robertsons again. it was alot of fun as we sang songs with the girls!
over all this trip was really fun to spend with famly. we had alot of excitement, relaxing time, and just fun! Awesome first trip to lake powell for me! I love to see how much the Hoovers love lake powell too! its definitly a family tradition/ ritual! I loved playing in the water all day....talk about the perfect ideal!
We were able to go to 3 days of it! what fun! we drove down with bryant and the three girls: Gween, Adel and Sienna! on the ride down....i pretty much slept through the whole long trip and Blake and Bryant both drove.
We pitched our tents on the sand stone. well everyone else did we didnt have a tent we slept outside :) It was extremely sunny the whole time! so whenever we were hot we just jumped into the Lake and went swimming. and then lounge again until we were too hot again. we had lots of great food!

The parade was fun! but very hot!
then some of us went to the local fast food : Dairy Keen. and there are two noteworthy things to mention!....
one - the fountain drink dispenser!... it was electronic, touch screen, it was crazy! it had every pop imaginal on there! i thought hmm i want a lemonade... so i see the chooses of diet or not. well after that decision it brings me to a new screen of tons of lemonade choices.....rasberry lemonade, strawberry lemonade, cherry lemonade, pink lemonade, regular lemonade, pomegranite lemonade! whooooo! i had to try these. i had both rasberry and strawberry... yum!
two - have you heard of the Hoover burger?! yes, the Hoover Burger... as in Hoover my last name. this is a hamburger that was created by Blake and his brother when they worked there and now is on the menu! well Blake ordered one...... now just imagine this....... bun, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, hamburger, chicken, bacon, ham and onion rings with some sauce...... this is a HUGE MEAT burger! ..... i can say i have eaten half of one before.
Yee Haa its rodeo time!!! I went to my very FIRST rodeo! as least one i remember! what fun! big crowd, lots of horses and cowboys/ cow girls! we watched bareback riding, saddle riding, barrow racing , people being pulled behind the horses on leather, roping the cows, the little kids rode around on toy horses on a stick, and bull riding of course! wow theres alot that goes into these, luck on which horse or cow you get, your skill, partners skill! this was very fun! we all dressed up for the occasion too! cowboys hats, dresses, plaid shirts, and boots! the clowns were there to keep the cowboys safe from the bulls. they were funny. they did an act where he drove out a old plane and straped to the back a saddle for a cowboy to ride. once in the sattle the clown took off, wings blew off and he spun in circles...that cowboy did not last long at all. they did the kiss cam and guess who was the very first to be on it?!...Blake and I! yeeeee haaw!!! after the rodeo they did a huge firework show....very impressive! i can now say..... i love the rodeo!! cant wait for next year!

Before wedding festies
WED June 15th:
Blake and I were apart for 50 days exactly until he drove in to Oregon on Wednesday the 15th! I was so excited to see my fiance!
That same day was the funeral of my Cousin Brittany Wilson. I will miss her so much. she was always so nice to me. we have had a lot of fun times together with sleepovers, at family get togethers etc. she would sing/ talk along with the movies we watched. she was always so happy. I know that she is happier now. she can enjoy a body in full. she can be with grandma Hedman too!
Blake and I reunited and then went to the temple to recieve my endowments. The temple was a beautiful place! i had a trouble at the recommend desk but they finally let me through :) Everyone was very welcome at the temple :) I even got a name tag! and my own locker. Mom showed me the bridal room. it was beautiful. I then did initories. afterwards a temple worker talked to us about next week. we then went to do the endowment. on the way I ran into Grandpa Hedman!! how special! I just love my Grandpa. Being in the temple I dont know if I understood it all this time around but i did know without a doubt that this was the house of God. This is where my heavenly father wanted me to be. Our heavenly father loves us so much. I had alot of family support me including mom, dad, blake, jean, kim, larry, peter, cilla, breanne, gaylene and sherry.
After the temple we went to sweet tomatos...we are with the hoovers and dickinsons. Our families were able to meet and get to know one another a little.

Its running time!!! we had the epic relay with blake, dad, larry, david, paul, peter, jimmy, john, sherry, michael, andy, cory, and aaron.
Alot of people were booking it! when I ran the first run was in the middle of the day... in the dead of the sun. oh boy did not training and the sun get to me. I am so glad I had blake run with me! he kept me going!! Then we went to silvercreek falls. that was fun! we walked under a fall and hiked around. we also played some frisbee. then it was time to get on the road again. we realized we were going to be back in time for mine and blakes run! oh no! we hurried and hurried and found shortcuts and made it just in time! this was our night run! we bascially got out of the car and then were running. we had some hills in this one especially one big one. while running we go up a big one and blakes says ' we finished the big one'... i am so excited and feel like we half way. later to find out that was NOT the big one. haha here it came. the car drove by to honk and see how we were doing. i got excited and started dancing.. well i was a little to close to the side of the road that i fell off it and scaped my knee and hand. we kept running and thats when i started feeling light headed and tired. i wanted to sleep. poor blake had to keep me going once again. at the very end the car picked me up thinking i just couldnt finish it when i got in the car the end was just around the corner...doh. I found out afterwards i was bleeding alot from the fall. through out the whole trip blake did not only help me but he would push others to run too. he ran with peter and john to keep them going or to make them faster. way to go blake! probably should of had him train more. the last run was a shorter one. we ran the whole thing with some sprinting at the end. we held toliet paper for people to end there races with - to run through. we would give water and meet up with the other van a little to. we also stopped at subway to eat. at night we slept on grass of a school ground. we also had mcdonalds in the mornign. dad was the last runner so half way through his run the whole team joined him and we ran to the finish line together! arrrrrrrr! the byu pirates finished! what alot of fun. afterwards we ate some BBQ pork sandwhiches, listened to a band and danced.
