UEA weekend Camping!

I went camping with my family over the weekend to an area by Green River and it was so much fun. It has a lot of sand dunes and also slick rock so you can ride all over. The scenery was gorgeous, the weather was great, and the next few posts have a lot of pictures... and check out the video of the Rzr climbing the rock.... Straight up!
Here are a few pictures of our camp

Lacy had a great time, but got a few scrapes along the way






Friday's ride

Friday's ride was very fun, but a little long... about 6.5 hrs.













We finally ended up at the Green River!

Saturday's ride

Saturday's ride was much shorter, but very scary, with only one near death experience. The scenery was just as pretty
Brent trying to climb... didn't make this one

And then this happened







Bryan taking me for a ride on the sand hills

That's us!

Front Door

I forgot to post pictures of our front door. We are just waiting for all the glass to get put in (should be soon). This turned out awesome, Brett did a great job finishing it


Oh, we just love our little Brian

House Pictures

We have been finishing our house, and its looking great. We are hoping to move this weekend and are finishing little things this week.
We get carpet on Wed and are hoping for a final on Thursday. So if everything goes as planned with the closing with the bank, we will move this weekend! Wow, I can't believe it.



Crash! Our patio door nearly fell on me yesterday! It is brand new and came apart from the hinges. We are talking with Lowe's to have them replace it because it hasn't even been used and still has the stickers on it!!!

The Christensen's

I came across this picture of Brett's family at our wedding in Hawaii and wanted to say a big Thank You to his family for all they do for us. We have been spending a lot of time with them lately. They have helped with the house, let us come and ride, feed us dinner (it seems like all the time), give us great B-day gifts (they keep us outfitted- thanks Jen and Stacy), and let me take their 'Twilight' books to read (almost done with the second- Im now addicted), and Clay took us to a baseball game last week, not to mention PF Changs for our birthdays. We love you guys so much!
