Visit to Idaho and Utah

I was feeling a bit cooped up in Colorado, and I wanted to get out to see some family and friends, so I decided to take a quick trip to Utah and Idaho. First I went to Provo, saw some friends, then Rosanne and I drove to Idaho to see Kevin's family and Staci. I also got to see an old roommate who had a baby a few months ago, so the trip was well worth it. I am also trying to decide whether or not I want to move back to Provo, so I can be closer to my wonderful sisters:)

Wes is so cute!

Staci and Wes

It was fun to be all together again for the weekend, I haven't seen Staci since her wedding reception.

This house had a cool Christmas light show in Kevin's neighborhood, it was pretty sweet.

Snuggling with Aunt Rosanne

Kimball was happy to have his other aunt around for the holidays.

Christmas Eve Party

Christmas Eve we were invited over to Emily's house for a little party. (Emily is Sarah's sister).

Kimbal also tried on the Santa hat

Kimball was pretty tired, which is nice sometimes cause then he will snuggle by you.

Summer 2008 Part 3: Rodeo, Fourth of July, etc.

For Independence Day we went to the Provo Freedom Festival, Parade, Ward BBQ, and of course fireworks. The Provo Fourth of July Parade is the biggest I've seen in person. We had lots of fun celebrating.
Me, Aric, Devon and Whitney, Jacque and Rob, and Rosanne.

My ward got tickets for a rodeo in Lehi! It was my first rodeo and was a lot of fun!




Another fun thing I did at the beginning of the summer was tubing down the Provo River. Well, it wasn't much fun at the time. It was too early in the year so it was freezing cold. It was quite miserable but at the same time it was an adventure for me so I am glad I went. Scott convinced us to go. Rosanne missed out cause she had to work. I went with Scott, Heidi, Heidi's brother, her friend, and Whitney. Towards the beginning when I was still figuring out how to steer, I ran into the side of the bank and got sucked under some tree branches, I thought I was going to die but I made it out with only of few scratches on my face.

Summer 2008 Part Two: Stake Activity

Rosanne, me, and Jessica Turner

This summer my stake had a big activity up a canyon. The biggest hit was the hot air balloon ride, which with the hundreds of people in attendance meant only a three minute ride. But it was still a fun experience. We also had a hayride, bonfire, dancing and lots of food.Rosanne, Jessica, and I up in the hot air balloon

Summer 2008 Part One: New Car

While my parents were in Utah for my graduation, they decided to help me find a new car, well a new used car. I bought my first car a few weeks later, a 1997 white Ford Escort, I still need to get a picture of it...it runs pretty well, it got me from Provo to Colorado, but the transmition is pretty jerky and it doesn't have a lot of power, we struggle up the hills here in the Springs. While it was exciting to get a new car that ran for more than 20 minutes, it was still sad to see the Caviler go after all its years of service.

Visit To Idaho

In the beginning of the summer we went up to Idaho to celebrate Kevin's graduation from PT school. Of course the real reason was to spend time with my nephews:)

I love M&M's!

Where's my M&M's?

Boy did we have a blast celebrating Kevin's graduation. Can't you tell from our expressions as we played guitar hero?
