The Weekend Campout

Last weekend we were all able to get together at my Grandma's house. All 4 of us kids were able to be there. We all camped outside and had a wonderful time.There was fun to be had by all thats for sure.This is just one of the many pictures of the big family kick ball game. We all laughed so hard whether it was at Grandma running the bases with the kids, or Brent kicking the ball clear out in out field, or Me attemping to kick the ball and missing. I think we could enter something into Funniest Home Videos and win for sure. This is only one of the great meals that we had during our stay.
Their was water games going at all times of the day.
After our great dinner of BBQ ribs and salad of every kind, a walk to the park was very much needed.
This is a picture of all 5 of my nieces and nephews playing at the park.
We finished off the night with a camp fire where eveyone roosted marshmallows and had smores.

(Why do they call them smores??? because you always want S' More.) That is a joke I heard when I was a kid, and this reminded me of it.

This was my great attempt at a family picture. Its what you call set the timer and run.

The 4th of July

We were unable to get together on the 4th with all the fam, so Mom. Lex and I decided we would carry out the yearly tradition anyways. We brought Alyssa along with us to provide some good entertainment. We started out the day by painting our nails, we are very creative and by the end we have flags, stars, stripes, and alot of Red, White, and Blue. Then we all went to West yellowstone and we went to the playmill, we saw Hello Dolly, It was such a cute show, I recommend it to all. After that we saw the parade out main street of West Yellowstone and we got a bit to eat then hurried home for the fireworks in Idaho Falls . We had a great time. (note the fact that Lexi and I are sitting the exact same way: that was not planned.)

What do you get when you put two sisters in the kitchen at the same time???

Lexi and I have been taking a cake decorating class in Idaho Falls once a week. We have really had a lot of fun despite the fact that our teacher speaks very little English. The teacher's advice to us was to "Practice Practice Practice!!!" So tonight lexi and I took that to heart and this is what turned out!!! Just call me Gill, short of Gilllllbert!!!
Lexi's tasty trout
You can call me "Fancy Fins"
Lesha's Beasty Bass
"Oh No I think my fish is swimming away!"
The Aftermath!!!

I'M BACK!!!

So its been a while, I'm sorry for not updating sooner, however life has just been crazy. I will try to do better in the future. I finished my first semester of college. It was good but very busy. Although I was able to make my schedule so I only had class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which was so nice. Tuesdays and Thursdays were used to catch up on homework or get out of the house and have a little fun. I have spent probally at least one day a week out at work just to get away for a while. It has been very nice to just take a ride on the horses or watch the new baby calves. Here are a few pictures.


I bet you can't guess what number he is???
This calf was just barely born. I woke him up. He was relaxing in the sun. Isn't he cute!
I'm so excited, Spring has finally sprung here!! (at least I think). I have thought that a few times but I think this time its for sure. It got into the upper 40's today so that is very promising.

Bradyn Chase

Isn't he the cutest. He is the happiest baby ever!!

The Rexburg Idaho Temple

Isn't this Amazing. I had the priviledge of going through the temple. I can't even put it into words, it was amazing. I was able to go through with my family. Lanna and Scott came up with there kids and we had a great time. I wanted to go through another time just to soak it all in, because who knows when I will get to go through again. So Alyssa and I went up and Thanks again Bishop and Sister Mcgarry who were nice enough to give us another tour. I loved it. What a great experience that was.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year to all. I hope everyone had a great year, and I wish you the best in 2008. Its so crazy to look back on the year, it went by so fast. I was able to welcome in the new year in Utah while spending time with family. We had a great time. I had a really hard time staying awake until 12:00, but I did it. We ate food and played games all night long. The picture above was taken just after the ball droped ( we had to take a short brake from our game to watch the ball fall), After all it is a tradition, ( and a mighty exciting one I might add)
When we came home from Utah we brought lannas two kids home with us to spend a few days with Grandma. I took them sledding. We went behind the 4-wheeler and that made it all the more exciting we didn't even have to walk up the hill. It was great and we had a wonderful time.
