Skiing trip. My first of the year!!

So we decided that it was finally time to go up the mountain. It was a parking lot and we had to park on the road instead and then we skiied down to the lifts. It was a joke but the skiing was amazing. I was so exhausted but it was fun. We videod me skiing a really nice run, i was in some fresh medium weight powder and cruised right through, and then the boys hit a jump we found, and we got ski cam :) It was COLD. At the base it was 12 degrees and at the top it was -1 so the boys had a hard time with the cold on their toes and we took a long lunch to get feeling back and we stopped skiing about 25 min early to allow me time to hike to the car and for them to warm their feet up. Still it was a great day of skiing.

Thanksgiving

Holy crap i am sorry so this is to catch me up on this thing. The last thing i have pics for was thanksgiving at the cabin at powder mountain up ogden canyon. This is our room. And then following we decided to go to the museum just my mom dad and i while the boys went to the skate park for a few hours.

Nice face dad!

Read the stats on this plane. Its freakin FAST!!!

Finally a family vacation with almost all of us!

So I guess its tradition to goto the summer house when RM’s get back. So we took off Friday morning and we drove straight there. The first pictures are of the cabin. I will add more pics of our trip as soon as i get them off my camera. I forgot i took any pictures. I love it down there. Its called torrey UT its 12 miles from the national park called Capitol Reef. So RED ROCKS and cliffs everywhere around this place.

It was perfect weather and we immediately jumped on the 4 wheelers and wrode off. That evening we high tailed it to a new trail that my uncle took us to last 4th of july. It was kinda far and we got lost, but eventually found it. We dinked around for a while and then wrode the devils backbone. Saweet name eh? Even sweeter trail. We dinked around a bit too long and had to ride back in the dark, but thankfully we had the lights working on all the 4 wheelers so we were fine. Saturday we went back to the same spot and played A LOT, then we went all the way down the backbone and down to the end of the trail. That got a bit tricky but its nothing we couldn’t handle. My brothers did really well on their atv’s and I had Brandon on mine so we weighed even more. We tried to go up this one path and it was ridiculously steep so we tried to go around the rock that was impeding our progress and that was probably worse than the other route. Remind you that these are not 4x4’s they are racing 4 wheelers. LOL. So we finally got back to devils backbone and aaron realized that he left his jacket at the end. So I ditched Brandon with aaron to ride around purple mountain til we got back and brian and I sped off like crazy flying through the trails now that I was solo I could go big J wow that was a lot of fun. We got down and back in about 35-40 minutes, of course we dinked around a few times. But we got back and I messed around, as the video denotes below, on the purple mountain, I would almost kiss with my tires, the devils backbone, but we are talking hills of probably 200 ft + high. It was so cool. When we got back to the house I was talking to my mom about how many trails there are up there and she said it would be neat to pack our bags and go on a few days adventure in those mtns. Most definitely I said, we would have to rent some 4x4s to carry the luggage but no problem J we are talking about mountain ranges open to ATV trails, so awesome! We have a pretty good size lot down there and my grandpa asked one of his neighbors to fill in all the rocks and put dirt over everything so we could have a trail to ride around. So we altered his design with the help of modern technology, THE SHOVEL, and built us a jump :) We hope to have more soon but we are waiting for the backhoe!

We went on Sunday while our clothes were drying, to a place called the goosenecks in the national park of Capitol Reef. They are so pretty. I want to go back in dec or jan and go hiking down them. My aunt and uncle took us down some pretty neat trails once that we had to get wet cause you had to slide down this rock slide into the pool, so we kept sliding over and over. It was a lot of fun. I hope to do that a lot next year. Then we took off and drove back home. What an awesome weekend. I took homework but only took my test that was due and I rested and played the rest of the weekend. I love that place!

This video is of me kissing the backbone from purple mountain.

Welcome Home Elder Augason

So this week brian came home from his mission. It was really weird being on this end of the spectrum. I thought it kinda cool, til we got into presidents office and he said almost the exact same thing and then he told him to take off his tag…I was balling my eyes out! I did not like that moment one bit when I was a missionary, it was so hard to not cry out loud cause no one else was. I guess it didn’t hit anyone else but me as hard the 2nd time around. I miss it so much! So i decided to put a picture of my first tag :)

My becoming a man!

Ok so the same Friday as my date, I became a man! Yeah that’s right, you all guessed it, I GOT MY OWN CELL PHONE! Angie and the rest of the family convinced me silently that I needed to get the same phone. I am so glad that I did. We went in there and the guy had no problem selling me on anything cause I had already decided, LOL! Angie got the hook up, getting told about some awesome programs that you can add to your blackberry and they are so sweet. So we got the hook ups and then went back to angies and hung out and played with the phones a little longer and then I took off to go on my date. I had to promise that I would not play with my phone on the date, and I have to say why would I?

Marks last race

Went out to marks race and watched his last one of the season. It was good and sunny and pretty warm. I had been freakin out for the last week, kinda, because my program for slideshows kept failing and I couldn’t get it to work. So I had to learn a new program and it wouldn’t work properly so I couldn’t put any music to it so I just had to iprovise. After marks race we had a surprise party and we played the video, which mark watched over and over, and we watched and listened to music. We also had the great Elke lasagna. Oh man was that good! Then Kristin and Aaron put into plans by showing everyone else this secret date I was going to go on this next weekend.

Some random videos of cali

Return to California

The man of the hour. My best friend in the mission Elder Peralta. We served around each other fro 3 months in Santa Maria, 6 weeks in oxnard and 3 more months in So Bakes. I love him to death.
Elder Barney. He served in taft and i would visit them about once a week to speak to all the people that they couldnt.
This was after st. george and before cedar city i think.

The drop!
We stopped along the way and wrode the rollercoaster and ate at the buffet. it was freaking fast and awesome. 230+ ft freefall and 90 mph :)
Random pic but oh so good. I dont remember taking it but dang that is so cool lookin.
Us at toppers pizza! BBQ pizza

This is elder Tatua. he is going home in a few weeks to tonga. He taught our zone the hawka and we did it for the christmas conferance infront of everyone :)
We switched about every 300 miles or so.

This was the last spot on ventura soil that i stood as Elder Augason. I got a bit teary eyed standing there again. It was a good sight to see.
On the way back home.

Well we took off and once we hit barstow we did what tradition has it. Broke down. lost the master cylinder in my transmission. Lamans terms that means no clutch so i had to shift with out it. Which it worked but on labor day weekend at 5:30 pm who is going to fix my truck. Well if you pay them enough they will get the job done. 700 bucks and 3.78 hours later we were on the road. Saw Hermana Madrigal from my last area and then took off on saturday for the coast. We shoppedin San Luis Obispo for about 1 hr then took off for the beach. We changed in the truck to the swimsuits and ran down to the beach. Tried to surf but got beat up pretty bad, but it was sooooo much fun. BTW we went to pismo beach. Then at 6pm we met up with members and we showered the salt water off and then went out to eat at a chinese restauraunt. Then we tried to watch movies but we were so beat from driving and swimming that we could not stay awake. It was very weird sleeping and showering in daves house. Sunday we made the suprise visit to the branch and had a good time. Then we went back to the beach. Nothing new cept that we went further out and swam with a sea lion and this time dave let us borrow his boogey board which was a blast. So we both got thrown around like rag dolls. The waves were crashin over the top of my head and it was really tough to get out to the waves, LOL. Monday we m et up with Elder Peralta and his companion in ventura and took them out to eat at toppers pizza. it was good. I talked with an old companion for like 5 min on the phone and the pizza was gone. WOW. It was so nice to see my mexican :) We laughed and cried and said goodbye again. But its ok cause i am going to mexico next year for like 9 days LOL We ate at In n Out twice once in cali and once in st. george 10 pm monday nite and then we rolled into the driveway at 3am tuesday morning. WOW it was a rough day but we made it safe. Enjoy

Kennecot Coppermine-a different view of SLC

I got gutsy and went to the top of the mtns behind the copper mine. I never have been there before and i have to say it was freakin amazing. i was amazed at how my little truck did in the dirt. I am needing new tires but it handled fairly well with all the hills and bumpyness. It was so neat up there, but it was my first bit of coldness since i have been home and i was shivering soooo much, but now i am ok. No worries here. I could see provo and downtown slc. it was a panoramic view to die for. The mine is HUGE and is lit up all over the place. Also a little bit of tooele was bisible from the mtns.

Capson Family Reunion

Heres a montage til i can get some words up here.

I found a good link that tells you how to prepare for the shower and what to bring, and where to go. I am going up near park city to get away from the lights. If anyone wants to go with you are more than welcome to accompany me. I am taking my truck so i can go up some roads that i find this weekend that will seclude me from the freeway. I am taking my telescope and my new camera in hopes to get some good photos like this one above. Hopefully i understand how to use my camera before then. Enjoy it wherever you are.

Hermano Papworth

I just found this video. The 2nd counselor in the branch presidency. He was awesome! It was actually his sons talent. he was playing the piano while dad acted the song out. Their whole family was musically gifted it was cool.

A dang good day

So i dont know if this text will show up correctly.

I had ordered a jacket a few weeks ago but it was a bit big on me so i went down 2 sizes...dangerous yeah i know. But guess what it fits perfectly. I am so excited for this cause i am shrinking. Its so awesome. Soon i will be to exactly what i want to be at :)
So yesterday i soooo badly wanted to just go for a ride. Work had been stressfull cause our system has most likely crashed which means lots more of repetitive work that i already did i have to do again!
So i did. I went for a ride. :)
I only had planned to goto snowbird cause mark goes there often and i love the canyon. So i did and thats where these bottom 3 pictures are from. The top 3 are from emigration canyon when i decided to give my butt a rest. So then i got down from snowbird and i decided that i wasnt done yet and didnt need to be ne where til 8pm so i went exploring behind the university of utah. So i went past the zoo, not knowing where it would take me and 2 hours later i was done riding. So what happend? I later found out i drove through Emigration canyon which was GEORGEOUS i loved every minute of it. It was still the city to me but it was hidden and secret. SOOOOO cool! Then i ended up at Little Dell Resevoir and continued up the canyon til i found out i was in east canyon. I wrode to the private East Canyon resort and then turned back. So then i connected with i-80 and wrode to west valley then to home. 122 miles :) i used 1.87 gal of gas so i got 67.77 MPG talk about AWESOME. I love my bike and exploring. I was laughing and had such a good time yesterday cause i didnt know what was around the corner. What a perfect day. Then i went to the party and saw someone which made it even a better day. Full of suprises this day was :)
