After reviewing the calendar and finding out we were loosing our live in Nanny we discovered that we needed to bribe grandma Debbie into staying a few more weeks so Jon and I could go on another vacation. Little Lily just had to give her a kiss and the deal was sealed! She extended her vacation for another two weeks so that Jon and I could attend his well deserved company trip to Lake Powell. This summer they were in a competition for most sells and won the trip! So proud of his hard work! However this isn't to be overshawdowed by our plans to run the dirty dash. We went up to Midway on Saturday and plunged into mudholes and swamps of mud! Jon dove in head first when the first puddle, which was up to my waste, was presented! It was super fun and we were very grateful we took grandma's rental car because this much mud was bound to make a mess!
In preparation for us living on our couples getaway we of course had to get a new T.V. Well, at least that is what Dean thought. Jon was playing the wii with the kids when it was time to be done and go to bed. Well, Dean not realizing took the remote and hurled it at our 50 inch plasma. Yep, it was shattered and then flashed and turned off never to be alive again. Everyone was shocked and I quickly took him up to his room and tried to explain to him what he had done. At first he didn't understand, but after telling him that it was broke and he couldn't watch shows anymore I could see his little heart sink and he felt Terrible! Poor Guy. Thanks to Super Grandma and her Money Bags she promptly gone online and found a great deal for a new T.V. Jon and her went down and picked it up and it is now installed above our fireplace out of the reach of flying wii remotes. HOPEFULLY! It is wonderful and Amazing thank you grandma! The first few days Dean would want to watch a movie, and we would go to put it in on the new t.v. and he said "NO" I want to watch it in your room on the much smaller t.v. I soon discovered he felt so bad he was afraid he would break the new one and didn't want to watch his shows on it...What a tender little guy!
The next few days went by fast. Grandma Egelund came up from St. George and Debbie recruited her to help with the kids while Jon and I took off for the week. She is so sweet and the kids absolutely were thrilled to have her in our home! She helped Makenna with her Piano lessons and Autumn with her reading. It is so wonderful to have these experiences. I LOVE THEM!
Now on to Lake Powell. Jon and I decided to drive to the Cabin and spend a night then drive to Bull Frog Marina. It was so wonderful spending time together yet again. We teased and laughed like we had no cares in the world which felt GREAT! After arriving at the Lake getting the house boat and meeting all the other couples we took off on the Jet Ski's and played hard the entire week. Jumping off cliffs, Battling on Tubes, Wake-boarding, Hiking, and visiting with friends till the wee hours of the night! My favorite was when we told each others most embarrassing moments. Let's just say some crazy stuff happens! It was a vacation to be remembered! A JON AND MARIE FAVORITE! Not to mention when it was all over we were both super sore and Jon had bruises all over his body. I think we are starting to get a little old to act like teenagers, but hey it is good to stay young at heart! My love to Lake Powell.
