GREEN Cabin

Ahhhh.........
I feel so refreshed after spending the weekend at the Cabin
It was so beautiful up there
So GREEN
Can we go back yet?

Man Vs. Food Challenge #1: FAILED

Matt thought he could tackle Blue Iguana's massive burrito to win us free dessert, but he was sadly mistaken. He only made it about 1/3 and was totally done. He DID eat some nachos and had a margarita too, but I was still disapointed.

Side note: He took the rest of the burrito to work today and FINISHED IT !
He sent me a text asking if it was normal to hallucinate?
He was seeing Mexicans everywhere!

Nice try Matty! ha ha

I am 25 !

As usual, I had an awesome birthday.
I cannot believe I am 25 !
I really feel old.
I graduated high school 7 years ago people! 7!
Ahhh, anyways,

My sweet Momma and stepdad threw me a small BBQ last weekend.

It was so delicious and nice to hang out.

My Grama Mary and my sweet In-laws came.
Last Sunday, we had steaks at Grama Pat's and MMMMM
I love seeing my Grandparents and hanging out with my fam.
Tuesday (my actual bday)
We had our Annual Balloon Launch
THAT is one of my favorite traditions!
Look how beautiful it is!

My dad got all of us temporary Ed Hardy tattoos in honor of the tattoo I was getting for my birthday! Don't we look BAD? :) My sweet friend, Sammi, sent me this awesome Edward Scissorhands shirt and a Gypsy woman necklace from Cali !

DUN DUN DUN
Here is my final result of my new tattoo.
It's big and on my arm, Scary!
But I LOVE IT
I have been so into Day of the Dead art since we went to Mexico
She is my Gypsy Woman!
Thanks SO MUCH to everyone that contributed to the tattoo fund!!
(PS Nope it really didn't hurt!)

Saturday night we went and saw the new Harry Potter movie. It was amazing. Geez I love those movies!

That night, all of our best buddies came over to hang out. We had so much fun, (and so much wine- yikes!) These guys make me happy! And I have to say- I am so happy that my brothers are getting older and have cool girlfriends/wives. I love hanging out with them!!

Look at these sweet kiddos we have:
(unpictured is our youngest couple: Marley+Vance)
Marli was all over playing with Jack, but he was being shy!

Thanks for another AMAZING birthday you guys!!

Traynor Boys and Doggies

I found Jack on Max's top bunk this morning....

Flaming Gorge

Another annual trip the Gorge has come and gone

Man I love that place

My 2nd favorite place to go

(1st is our Cabin of course!)

We got rained on more a lot!

But it was green and gorgeous!!

(PS not sure how I managed to make this post even longer than the Lake Powell one....oh well. Enjoy!)

Dad's pontoon was SO FUN- The Pontoon Crew

Dance party! This was one of my favorite parts

The kids loved cruisin around camp and Ty loved taking Jack off road wheelin

Luau Night

My Sweet Fam and the Rainbow

Damn these kids are Gorgeous!

Fishing was fun but we weren't very lucky- Matt caught a big rainbow though!

Our short visits to the beach- that's the only thing I missed, lack of beach due to rain and REALLY high water levels!

BEAUTIFUL Gorge! (seriously.)

My Boys are crazy handsome

Hanging out on the Pontoon! The best boat ever!

Kisses from Jacky- everyone got one!

Hanging in the tent waiting for the rain to stop

Swimming is my favorite thing!
