Moab 350 and Farmville

Last weekend my crazy husband and his friends decided to ride their dirtbikes and razor from spanish fork canyon down to Moab. I was a little worried about him doing it but he has been wanting to do it forever. They actually did a good job! No one got hurt, no crashes, no break downs, nothing bad. Just pretty dirty, got a little lost and didn't quite make it to Green River. So they were so close but didn't quite make it. I guess they will be trying it again soon. Me and Marty's wife Katie and Jono drove down our truck and a trailer and then Katies car to go pick up the guys. I was very excited for this trip since the kids were going to stay at Grammys house and I could have 2 days off from mommy responsibilities! It was so nice to be myself and not have to worry about dirty diapers, when do I need to feed Kenzley, does Cohen need to go potty and yelling at Cohen to leave his sister alone! I soaked up the trip and actually loved every second of it! Thank you so much Grammy for taking such good care of my kids while I was gone. Me Katie and Jono had an awesome time riding down together and talking and I was glad to see the guys safe and sound when we picked them up. We got down there right after the sun went down and found them. As Dallas was trying to load his bike he got on it without his gear and went to drive off when he ran right into a barbed wire fence that he didn't see. He got a few scratches and I'm sure it hurt but it was funny to watch. After we picked them up they were exhausted so we went and got our hotel room and then ate at Denny's. I thought the guys were going to fall asleep while eating. The next day we did Hells Revenge, went swimming, did a little of Fins and Things and then that night we did Hells Revenge in the dark. We stayed out pretty late and then our room stayed up late so by the morning we were all so tired we decided to eat breakfast and head home! It was by far my most favorite Moab trip. No accidents, no hold ups, great company, great ride. Couldn't ask for anything better!

I think Jono must have hit his knee I love his face in this picture!
Dallas doing Micky's hot tub
Escalator. I rode with dallas the time before this and we pretty much walked right up it then he took Carston and it was a different ride. I'm glad I wasn't in it that time. I get so nervous because I have seen razors roll on this. Then that night I got out while Dallas did it cause I watched Marty do it right before Dallas and it looked scary but Dallas walked right up it. We have decided that the razor is one of the best things to ride down there.
I even decided to try driving. This is me on baby lions back and then that night on Hells Revenge I did some of the trail. I'm not nearly as good as Dallas and it kind of gives me anxiety but it was fun to try it. And the razor is easy to drive compared to other rides.

Our rides.

Dallas hiked us up to his secret spot. It was alot of fun. We climbed up the waterfall and got to the top everyone except me jumped off the cliff but I completely chickened out and found a way to hike myself back down. I am the biggest scaredy cat when it comes to stuff like that. It was a gorgeous place.


These next pictures are of a play date to Thanksgiving Point. Me and some friends went to the farmville. I ended up being late because I was stuck on the freeway for two hours trying to get there from my house to Thanksgiving Point. By time I got there I wasn't so happy. We made the best of it and went to ride the ponies very first while we had a little bit of time. I was nervous that Cohen would be excited but when he would get up to the horse he would chicken out, but he didn't. He did great and loved every second of it. After his ride he got down patted the horse and said thanks. What a cute kid. Kenzley also loved it. I was nervous to take her on it because she is so young and small. She held on tight and would smile and loved it.

Thanks for going girls it's always fun to get together!

Cohen came home and showed Daddy how he rode a horse.
I love how Kenzley will try and play cars with Cohen. They are at such a fun age.

Okay...I hope the camera really does add 10lbs or 20lbs because if I am that HUGE in real life I might cry. (Sad thing is I know I am...dang!!) But fun pictures anyway!! It was a fun day, traffic and all! ;)
