James turns 24!

So as poor college kids we didn't do much for James' birthday. I decorated his door so when we woke up got a little surprise. I made him his favorite cake and went to Grandma's house for dinner. I am not very good at making round cakes and every time I make an other one I learn something new. So don't judge if it looks a little off I tried. We also took some friends with us to Grandma's house to enjoy a yummy BBQ so thanks for coming Tatton, Kirsten and Brookey. Since I didn't want his birthday to go by with no gifts I got him a brand new golf towel. It is black and clean unlike his white(well now brown) nasty one.

Hanging with Mom and Dad

I love with my mom and dad come into town to play. Since I don't get to see them much because I live forever and a day away I always enjoy when they come up. I also love when they are here becuase Dad has the best stories of growing up here. I love just hearing him share what he did or where he has been. We got to go fishing in the Teton River which was fun for mom and I becuase we got to read and watch the boys. I know the boys had fun even though only one fish couldn't escape their flies.







We also went to James' grandmas house to visit her and show dad some of the farm equipment. As you can see some of the toys grandmas has brought dad back to when he was a little boy. We had a lot of fun while they were here and want them to come back again. We miss you guys.

Its been awile

So it has been over a month and I was going to let an other one go by but I thought I better not. So here I am blogging away. Tons have gone on I just have been to lazy to write about it. Now I could lie and say I have been busy but the truth is I am lazy.

Where to start..................

Ok I will start with my sweet trip to Az. I love going down there and visiting my sisters and brothers.
While I was down there we went to this way cool place where you got jump and slide on all these cool blow up things. It was fun to be with the kids and watch and also join in the fun. I got to eat at my favorite places while I was there like Panda express. It doesn't take much to make me a happy girl and being with my sisters and eating panda is one of the many ways to bring a smile to my face. Poor James had to stay at home in Rexburg and work and also go to school. We missed each other tons and have decided to not do long trips alone again, it is not just as much fun.

James and I would both love to end up down in Az some day but right now we just have to wait for school to get over with. We should be done by next summer so lets all keep our fingers crossed and pray that is when we will be done. I love being up here in Idaho but I am ready for something new. I know once we are gone we will miss it but James has family up here and so do I so visiting is always an option.

I am bad

So I know it has been forever since I have posted anything but I guess you could say I was busy or just lazy which ever you would prefer. Since I am not working right now becuase it is summer I spend most of my day cleaning house and reading. Which I am not at all complaining about that because I love reading. But I do feel like I have become more lazy even though I am pretty sure I never feel like I have a min to myself. James is so busy with school sometimes I feel like we dont talk much and when we do it is about homework but that will all be over in a couple of weeks becuase the semester is coming to end which we are both super excited about. James is a far better student then I am so he puts more energy into his homework but he really enjoys his classes.

I went to Arizona a couple weeks ago and had the best time. It was just me that went for Layne's Baptisms becuase James has work and school. He was home alone for a week which I dont think we will ever do again. It is so much more fun to have him then to be without him. I just love spending time with my sisters. I so want to move down there so bad and be able to spend all the time with my sisters. James gets so excited about moving but we still have like a year left of school. We both want to be done with Rexburg but we know that as soon as we are gone we will miss it. But right now I would rather miss it then be here. haha.

In a couple of weeks some of the family is coming up to Ut to go to a wedding so James and I will be going down. Then my paretns will be coming up to go fishing and hang out. I love family so I get super excited when I get to spend time with them.

Well that is us in a nutshell and what we have been up to these past couple of weeks and what will be going on. I will post later with pictures.

The Teton Dam Marathon

As some of you may know I have being running to get into shape but I have needed a reason to keep going becuase I am not a fan of just working out for no reason. So I decided to sign up for the Dam Marathon so yes that would make me a Dam Runner.

I am not a very good runner and haven't ran since High School like my Sophomore year which was a very long time ago. So I thought the 5k would be a very big challenge which in case it was. I started running around the end of march in Vans and James said I needed to get real running shoes. Now I hate the look of running shoes, I think they are ugly but I was able to find some cute pink ones so I was off and running.

The date of the race was June 13th and it was so much fun. I never thought I would be able to ever do this. Now I want to run an other one. Crazy I know I am just not the running type but it was such a cool feeling to be part of something and finish something big.

On the way up to the race!
Running past James. He was such a good supporter. He encouraged me the whole way and was the best fan. I love him so much and could not ask for a better supporter.
I did the whole race in 39 minutes when I thought it would take me over an hour.

Hurricanes

Well as most of you may know I am coaching and playing Frisbee. I love it so much. It is a great workout and you get to be part of a team. I also have the best team becuase they work hard and have become great friends.

In these pictures I was just coaching and not playing so that is why I am not dressed out but the girls talked me into playing so I am now.
We played the Spartans and kicked butt.
We had a small team to start out with but have grown. We are the best looking team might I add!

The Zoo

Well a couple of weeks ago we went to the Idaho Falls Zoo with some friends. I have been wanting to go but between Frisbee games and rain we have been putting it off so we finally went. I had to so much fun. It was only $10 for both James an I to get in...talk about a deal. So we snapped a few pictures of the Penguins(of course), Monkeys, Lion, Tiger, and some other funny looking animals. I totally want to go again becuase it was just that much fun.
