Rock Climbing on the ship

GRADUATION!!!

We finally graduated from BYU-Idaho!! Travis got a BS degree in Business Management/Finance and a minor in Economics. I got my BS degree in Health Science and a minor in Child Studies. We are so excited to start our next stage in life, most likely in Colorado.


My parents made the long drive out to support us for our graduation and many of our family members were there to support our accomplishment and help us out with our future. Thank you everyone!

Rigby Lake!

We are back to our usual trips to Rigby lake. With this summer being so hot and in the 90's so often, Cierra, Alyssa and I go to the lake to cool off. As you can see by how small the lake looks, the water is still really low.
We have so much fun just playing in the sand and dipping in the water. We don't get much laying out done with a little on running around. But it is just to just relax.
I think Alyssa would fill the bucket and dump it back out all day long if we let her! She is really starting to enjoy the water. This little one is not afraid to get messy and have fun!

A Trip Down Memory Lane!!

On our way home from Montana we all stopped to see where Travis and his family grew up. It is run down and over grown now, but it was fun to see the house and farm that Travis has so many memories of. I just thought it was interesting to see just how much taller Travis is than his sisters!! Below is a side view of the old house. I have to say, I am impressed with my own photography!

This is Travis in his old room, he was surprised to find out how much smaller it is than he remembered.
Above is the chicken coup. I can not even imagine what it would be like to own chickens, let alone pigs, dogs and goats. Crazy. The valley was very pretty though and we had fun walking around the property.

Travis is in his barn. It was completely trashed, but Travis has fond memories of running across the rafters with Mark. I think working with the animals and on this big property is where Travis learned his hard work ethic, which I so much appreciate!

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.
