Our Trip to Montana

This past weekend we all took a trip to Montana to go rafting and have fun with the family. In order to save on gas we all crammed into the jeep, as you can see with Carrie in the back!

Alyssa was very good this trip and mostly enjoyed to roll the window up and down as much as possible.
The boys all played football for a while. The three brothers took their shirts off. If you ask me I say they are a pretty good lookin' bunch!
Travis, the football star, is juking and ended making a touch down! That's my hottie!!

Rafting was so much fun! It was about 95 degrees that day and the water was nice and FREEZING! We went in 2 different rafts and these are pictures of the raft Travis and I were in. We had so much fun and we even got to go right through the jaws, even though we were not supossed to!

Later after rafting and gourging ourselves on the good food, we went to the drive in to watch Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man. It turns out our Jeep is pretty comfortable! We ended up staying at the movies until 2:30 am. Because we are boring married people we were so tired we took a 4 hour nap when we got back from our trip.
Because the trip was so long, towards the end of the trip we made a game out of distracting Alyssa and keeping her happy. From the smile on her face I think her Dad won!

Haircuts!!!

I know it has been FOREVER since we last blogged, but there is nothing interesting going on in our lives. I work all the time and Travis studies all the time, who cares about that? Today was probably the most exciting day we have had in a while. We both got our hairs cut? I got bangs for the first time since about 4th grade and I cut Travis' hair, as usual! But we look HOT!

Then we went to Wingers and ran into Chris and Cierra with Alyssa. Alyssa decided she wanted to come to our table because we are so much more fun than Mom and Dad! Below is Alyssa and Travis checking out the weird lookin' noodles on the Asian Salad.

Who wants to eat the french fry when you can just suck off the ketchup and re-dip the fry?

Then we went back to Chris and Cierra's house and watched a movie (The Eye) outside in their yard. Alyssa was fun to cuddle with.

We Moved

Travis and I got an opportunity to be night managers at Aspen Village here in Rexburg. We are now getting free rent!! Now we can save up for our cruise in August!!! Any way, I thought that I would let you all know our new address:

545 S 2nd E #306

Rexburg, ID 83440

Easter

This year for Easter we hung out with the Hopkins side of the family! We dyed easter eggs, while Alyssa dyed her hands!! Alyssa just dipped her fingers in the dye, while Haley gently stirred her egg with the wire spoon! It is nice to have two girls that are so very different!

The girls went on an egg hunt and they got so excited whenever they found an egg! I know there are a lot of pictures, but they were just all so cute!
I didn't even see the egg on the tire but I lucked out with taking a picture at just the right time!




When we got inside it only took Alyssa a few minutes to rip open an egg and start eating it, shell and all!! Cee cee is trying to get it out of her mouth!

Suns Games

For those of you who are not up on the Phoenix Suns news I will tell you that they traded Marion and Banks for Shaq. Sad to lose Marion, but they seem to think that Shaq can help out the team. So weird. The Suns are still doing awesome and we like to get together to watch the games.

We are the only ones in the group with cable, so everyone likes to come to our house to watch the Suns games. The girls really enjoy it as long as they have their cups and some popcorn!

The guys get hooked to the screen for the game, except Brendan who seems to be pretty attached to his phone. Like so many others, he has been hit with the texting virus.

Fun with Alyssa

Now that we are back in Rexburg we don't ever get to see our nieces in Colorado, but we have spent a lot of time hanging out with Alyssa. We have captured some great moments on camera!

She seems to really like that chili on rice!
Alyssa found Grandpa's razor and decided that she wanted to help him shave!


Some one is really pround of the mess she made for dinner!

It's been too long

It has been a really long time since we last blogged. A lot has happened. We started school, I got a job at Taco Bell and Travis got a second job with the Pepsi Cola Company. We found a car that we love. A Jeep Grand Cherokee! The pictures are below. We got it just in time for the most snow and coldest winter I have ever experienced here in Rexburg. The snow seems to never end, but just this week we saw the sun! Life is kinda crazy, but hopefully things die down a little after midterms next week!
