Idaho Cabin Vacation/3rd Year Anniverary

Last week Jared and I flew to Utah and we were able to visit some of my friends and family for a quick day. Unfortunately on a trip as quick as this we weren't able to see everyone that we would have liked to...but there's always next time!

We saw my friends, Erin and Janelle for dinner and we had a great time.
This next picture made me laugh and laugh until I cried...so I had to post it!

The next morning my dad picked us up and we drove to our family cabin in West Yellowstone.

On the way we saw the beautiful Grant Tetons and that night we went to feed the fish at Big Springs.

We seriously saw one of the biggest trout I have ever seen. This is a picture of the trout next to a muskrat.

While at my family's cabin in West Yellowstone, Jared and I celebrated our 3rd year Anniversary. We went to Old Faithful (which I thought was sort of cute and fitting of what we hope our marriage will be...Old and Faithful). Ahhh.....

We saw lots of wildlife...


We also went to the Continental Divide...

And while we were there we saw Guys and Dolls and Footloose at the Playmill Theatre


This was more of an Anniversary trip of things I like to do...so I'm really grateful for Jared who is willing to spend a vacation trip doing things that maybe aren't quite his thing...like fishing. :-) Jared and my dad went fishing...I would say I fished too, but I'm not really sure you would call sitting in a chair on the side of the river fishing. But, hey, I tried. Hopefully Kasey is proud!

Mostly, I just enjoyed taking pictures of the birds and flowers.

More mission pics...

My companion giving the thumbs up on some squirrel...Joel, have you ate any cool foods yet? (you need to make the pic bigger to see the animal better!) lol!!
Eating cow tail...it sure was rubbery!

I think Jessica here was saying: "I'm gonna hurt you if you take my picture and post it on the blog!"

Joel...bring back memories of the MTC? This is where I learned to bathe with other men! Oh, good thing no one was using the shower when I took this picture.

Janessa said no more embarrassing pictures. But I just had to post this at SLC airport 7/3/2000

Joel...This was when I went to Rick's College in Aug, 1999. Joel looks dazed and Jessica is trying to pose like a model. Me, of course, looks hot!

24th of July

It's always fun when we celebrate Jared's birthday with a parade! Even when he isn't around! Happy 30th Jared!!!
Click on the pic to see better. Our ward floats were the bottom 2 on the right and the pic of the boys holding the sign. Each ward had to build 2 floats. Because of the theme, everyone's looked alike. It was pretty funny. I love small town parades!

 

Well lookie who we found! It's like "Where's Waldo?"

 

Yup....there they are!

 

Anti Material?

Do you ever get people that talk about anti material? Just curious if people mention they have seen videos such as this to judge the church on?

Remember this?

This was in 2002...I believe you were 13? Doesn't Jared look good? I think he needs to grow out the facial hair again.

Joel, you were only 11 when I left on my mission back on June 2000! I think dad looks pretty dang sexy in this pic too.

Redi, Ready.....go!

We found this pretty humorous! These are pics from the Vernal office. Of all the 27 different lines of businesses we do, this is the one they emphasize?!

Redi didn't have any port-a-johns at the Mall!!!!

We went on the 4th to the Mall in DC. It got pretty crowded when it got closer to the fireworks. This pic was around 4pm. Around 8 the grass was completely full.

Tyson was sooo excited at the SLC airport!! Emily said he was very good on the plane. He liked looking out the window.

One lil' Monkey.......

We won't see the lil' guy for a month since he was heading to the east coast on Friday so Janessa and I stopped by to see him (and Jason and Emily). He wanted nothing to do with us. Emily said he had gotten into the car and was sitting all ready to go while they were still inside packing and cleaning up. He only had a few words for us, no hugs or kisses this time...but doesn't he look so cute! I am going to miss the lil' fella!
