HELICOPTER RIDE!

We just had the Most WICKED AWESOMEST HELICOPTER RIDE EVER!!! THANK you SO much JEREMY JOHNSON for the Sweetest B-day present Jason's ever had! Well, I better be a close 2nd :) Jeremy's heli was so Fabulous. We felt like we were on the freakin' President of the U.S.'s ride :) Top of the line baby. Jason has wanted to ride in a helicopter forever. Last year for his birthday he told me that is all he wanted. Well, I couldn't quite pull it off. (I tried hard!) So, this year, same story, round 2, I had been trying for so long & was almost ready to take him to Vegas to do it. My good friend Bill Wilkey & his buddy Jeremy Livingston made it happen-- WooooHOOo! You guys are the coolest & made the ride that much more AwESoME. BTW, Bill is single & a Fun guy-- for any of those ladies who might want to check him out :) (sorry Billy boy- had to mention it- you might get a sweet deal out of this post)





Back to the Big Flight: I was sorta freaking out on the way up to the airport. I thought I would get sick & scared & Yada yada... This thing was a cool "Catalina Blue" I like to call it- 6 passenger, posh / pimped out ride :) Right when we took off, I looked at Jason & was like, You need to get your license for this :) He has tried to tell me over & over for years he would love to do this. I was always thinking something craZy would happen- or it was so dangerous. But believe me, if he wanted to go to school tomorrow & become a pilot- I'd be happier than a kid at Sea World seeing Shamu for the first time--heheheee. (like me everytime at SW) We are going next week- 6 days & counting. ANYWAY, Jeremy was great & took us all over St. George, over our house, over all the sweet mountains, Sand Hollow Resovoir, PahTempe, Molly's Nipple-(Paul Ford's favorite :)he was with us), close to Zion, & everywhere else around the vicinity. I have to admit we live in a gorgeous place- the views.....AHHHhhhhh UNBELIEVABLE! Gosh, I can't describe what a FeeLing it was to do this. I'm thinking the 80's song "What A Feeling" right now & I am pumped! I got to sit by Jer (I can call you that now right?- we're friends) I had a controller in between my legs & could see all the monitors, numbers, gauges - whatever you call em'. I felt pretty important, but not important enough if something would've happened to him while flying- Phew, we lucked out. He did give me only one scare, when he showed me what it's like to turn off the engine while flying- NOT COOL DUDE! But, for some reason, I didn't feel too terribly sick to my stomach panicked :) Paul decided we all needed pilot names for if we had our own Heli's.
Paul: 3-Dog Night ?! (I'm thinking 3 ring circus, more like it-haha)
Billy: Wilkey (sounds solid- only if you add Whiskey after it!)
Jason: Wild Stallion?- or something like that, not sure
Jodi: Stop it S'more! (funny story, I shouldn't blog about-ask me sometime)
*I then got a little nautious from taking pictures, & can't remember what Paul named the Jeremys'- sorry guys! How about Maverik & what's his buddy's name? Jas would be angry that I can't remember Top Gun info. Anywho.......









*love the red hair & blue eyes dude- they remind me of my little guy*-there is hope for red headed boys :)

Jas says I was more excited than he was. I was rambling so much on the flight,yeah I know, not like me at ALL! The guys were probably looking forward to landing- NOT!--They love me :) Next time we want to see Paul's Crazy tricks into Sand Hollow- you are hilarious!
Overall, A Must-Do sometime in everyone's life. Heli's (my new name for them- or is that not new?) are one thrill ride! Now I just look forward to Jeremy taking us in his Heli to his new HouseBoat :) hahaaaaaa.
You Rock- we think you are Wicked Awesome, just as much as your swweeeet Ride! Thank you a thousand times, you made not only Jason's day - but my Weekend :) Now I owe all you guys massages.





*This is how Jason felt about flying in the helicopter!* (he won't be too happy that I posted this picture though)-Good stuff!* To his defense, this picture was from last week- when he got the trampoline in the ground, thanks Lova- Big X, little o, little x big O little x & 3 hearts :)Happy Birthday Big Guy- I should be good for a few years now, right?!!
