Did you Say Cougars?

This Summer's theme kicked off with our first camping trip up Blackrock Canyon when the boys we were with started claiming themselves as the Eagles for being Eagle Scouts. They thought they were so cool. So. Needless to say Us girls developed our own name of the Cougars. So, now we are officially the cougars and the Eagles. It makes it fun. So, last weekend we went on another camping excursion. I am yet to get those pictures! However, we went up near Lava and we sat in the natural Hot Pools in the River and had a blast. Then, the next day we floated the river. It was a little brutal. We thought we would be tough and go down the waterfalls people usually bypass. Well, my first time down I got stuck in a hole and got kicked out of my tube and drug underneath the current along the rocks. Needless to say I was not very smart and did it again and once again got hurt. So, I quit doing that part and put in where everyone else did. Much better that way! It was a blast though and we are having so much fun just hanging out and fourwheeling a lot! Tomorrow is my birthday so my family and I celebrated today. My friends Kristy and Mikkel came over and we went on a four wheeling ride in the mud. It was fun but I almost tipped once and Mikkel and Kristy got the four wheeler stuck. It was a little scary, but we made it out alive. I also went fishing with my family over Memorial Day weekend. It was fun and I caught my first fish ever. This was only like my second time going so that was really exciting!








With My 24th Birthday coming i have done a lot of Life Reflection and thinking about the wonderful life I have been blessed with. I am truly so blessed to have all that I do. I have a wonderful family, wonderful friends, and the gospel in my life. I have all the most important things and I'm so grateful for that!
