Fathers Day

What a great day! A day to reflect on your dad :) I find myself doing this often. My Dad is the best....

 -DAD-

Thanks for being so Awesome.

you are...

Fun: I know I can count on you to go do pretty much anything with me

Adventurous:  You Enjoy new things & Exploring. I miss our horseback riding trips and being in the mountains with you. We need to do that SOON.

Brave: I swear nothing scares you.

Hard working: ever since I was little I have recognized how hard you work in everything. You push your self so hard. In Business, The Ranch, Running, Everything.

Funny: You are always making us all laugh, hahaha just thinking about the things you say right now I am smiling:)

Patient: I have very few memories of you getting mad at me, when I was little and even now. That says a lot! 

Understanding: You don't judge others and you always try to see things from a different light.

Trustworthy: I trust you with anything. & I know many other people do to.

Honest: You are 100% honest in everything that you do! Not many people can say that. 

I could not ask for a better example. You truly are all of those things and more. You are so wonderful and I love you so much! :) I try to be like you, hopefully some day I can!

I love you!!

Happy Fathers Day Dad! :)

Oakland Temple

We were lucky enough to go to the Oakland Temple this morning. What a beautiful place! It is way up on the hill, and has the most gorgeous temple grounds. The fountain isn't running in this picture but when we left they turned them both on and it was so pretty! and it ran down the middle as well through all the rocks. 

I love going to the temple. I love the spirit that is there and the calming feeling I get every time... We are so lucky to have somewhere as sacred as this to "get away" from everything. & being able to go with Braydon makes it even that much better!  We are also hoping to make it to the Sacramento Temple while we are here as well. It is fun seeing all the different Temples, & now I can finally go inside!!! :)

Fact: There was no angel Moroni on this Temple... Braydon said he was still sleeping or too cold I cant remember, (we were there early) BUT I just looked it up and its one of the 8 temples in the world that doesn't have and angel on top. Interesting....

wakeboard lake say whaaa?

Yep its true! I was searching online and stubbled upon a private wakeboard lake out here in Tracy. Yes only like 15 min away from where we live! pretty rad huh!? so me and Braydon went to check it out on sunday and he immediately fell in LOVE.... which brought us back yesterday! :)

Here are a few pics of his awesomeness 

 ps. second time hitting rails & of course he killed it!

I watched this time... :)

When he finished it was cute.. one of the little boys there asked... "Are you pro?"

new lens:)

Braydon loves his camera. He just got a new lens for it, one he has been wanting for a while! It is a 50mm, mostly used for portraits and creating depth. We are still trying to figure it out... but we took it out one night and tested it out....actually these shots I am putting up are not a very good example of its true capability because we were just messing around.. but here they are anyways! :)

                           these are really blurry, we took a picture of our reflection off the window

Braydon loves making this face, and every time I freak out because it seriously is so scary looking. I don't like it. so I tried to do it back to freak him out..... it worked even better than I thought!

              this face is actually pretty hard to pull so ill give him credit for that!

So proud!!!! :)

We finally got the official news that Braydon was accepted to BYU! I am so proud of him! He is going to start this fall 2011 and will be Pole Vaulting on the track team! :) He is such a hard worker and I know he is going to do AMAZING there! 

He so deserves this and has not only worked his butt off academically but with Pole Vaulting as well! I am always impressed with how hard he pushes himself. I know that he will do wonderful in anything that he puts his mind too. I am so grateful for all of the blessings we are receiving! 

Watch out Pole Vaulters everywhere, here Braydon comes!!!!!!!!!! 

I love you babe, and I cant tell you how excited, happy and proud of you I am. Thanks for being such a good example to me. 

Made it to California!

We are finally here! living in tracy california for the summer, we are excited to be here and so far things are going really well! :) here are some pictures of our drive down... it was long but lots of pretty things on the way

1st stop the Bonneville Salt Flats

(I had no idea what to expect... The Salt Flat's were beautiful!)

It had rained that week so there was about 5 in of water 

                  

I just love this one!

(hes so hott)

2nd stop Lake Tahoe:)

This was my first time here, Braydon showed me around & it is beautiful! Our plan is that you will be seeing some more pics of this place before the summer is over of Brayd+me+our mt bikes!

San Fran

We decided to go on a quick night trip to san francisco last week, it was a lot of fun! 

We couldn't believe how crazy steep the roads are!

We rode our bikes down Lombard Street & and all over pier 39, which was a lot of fun its like a little carnival all year long :) we got some dinner and watched the sea lions for a little bit too long. and then headed to the Golden Gate Bridge. 

& even tho we lost a $20 bill, went thru the wrong booth at the toll road (ending in a ticket which braydon went back and took care of) & I was a little grouchy, it was still a fun trip! :)
