Nearing the end

The summer is nearing the end and we've been to all of our missionary farewells,my brother being ordained an elder, Boise(for a triple b-day party),fishing,camping,and now just two more trips and it will all be over! It has gone by so fast!Although Wes just got a boat this weekend so the fishing and camping might not be a thing of the past just yet!

Just the 2 of Us

What a crazy fun summer! Last weekend we took a 5 day weekend and went to Yellowstone, and Billings. We camped and fished, and had fun just the 2 of us!Being away from the cats for so long-now they are constantly making me CRAZY! From now until late September we have fun filled weekends ahead of us! This week-SLC-was supposed to be just a day trip but Wes decided to go down a day early,i'm so excited!

My funny boy!

While i've been gone Wes has been able to fish as much as his little heart desires! And he gets to see how much attention those little kitties require! But every night when we talk he keeps asking me if i'm coming home the next day! He's a funny boy!I only get away 1 WEEK a year so i'm taking the whole time! This year he is picking me up on SLC and the 2 of us are going to cabelas and ikea-i'm excited!

French Fried!

So i'm gone to Utah with my sisters having a blast!It is nice and warm-just 104 degrees! Yesterday we were in the pool most of the day and soaking up some rays. Well my back got the bad end of the deal!And my sisters say going without a bra is not optional! RUDE! But my face will definitly reap the rewards of the sun! Being in your twenties is not when you want your face to break out crazy bad!At least not all of me was french fried!

Another!!!

Also-since we had to put Odee to sleep Missi was lonely. So we got her a friend! Yah,yah, I know we are cat collectors! He's charcoal gray and SO tiny! So he got named Cole. Two weeks later they finally decided to be friends! Three weeks later he finally got potty trained! That was a nightmare! Poor Wes, he had to clean up most of it because it smelt so strong I couldn't do it! Hopefully these ones will last pretty long-no one should have to go through that more than once!

Almost gone!

My sisters,mom, and I leave on Friday!YAY!Tomorrow is going to be crazy but it will be totally worth it! Early the following morning we'll pack up and leave this old town-for a whole week-and not even miss it! Ok maybe we'll miss our husbands!Maybe!

Now What?

Hello!!! A lot has been going on so it's been awhile! We got a little kitten! We couldn't decide on a name so she gets called all sorts of things! Wes' grandma Ashcraft got sick and about 2 months later passed away. Then a week later we had to put Odee (our cat we've had for 3 years)to sleep! And I didn't see Wes shed a tear through either of these times! He's an emotional Rock! I could learn a thing or two from him! I was telling my neice about Odee going to live with Heavenly Father and she piped up "hey! my dog saber went to live with Heavenly Father too! Maybe they play with each other there!" Those of you who know me know I'm emotionally unstable! So my little neice had me in tears! Oh how innocent yet how smart little children are! Oh I got to watch my neices for two days in a row and we had a blast! We went to play with our cousins in the park,for HOURS, both days. The first day when we got home they were out for over 2 hours! The next day I was not so lucky! But I did trick them into the house for popcicles! After all this I'm excited to see what else the summer can bring!

Last minute

I am currently trying to pay bills online and it's being a pain! After an hour of trying to figure out how to set up and pay for this one bill I'm starting to wonder why i wait till the last minute? Oh well that's me-always the procrastinator!

A Friend

On satuday we got a kitten! She's a little gray fur-ball(i don't remember Odee being that furry!)who jumps around like she's listening to hip-hop! Watching her make her way up and down the stairs is hilarious! I am happy to announce she has already served her purpose! Odee is more calm. Yay! He's so busy keeping an eye on her making sure she stays away from his favorite areas of the house that he hasn't been running laps around the house or breaking things! The jury is still out on what to call her! I know-3 days!-and we are still undecided! Names we are trying to choose from are: Coalie or Ash. Wes calls her Coalie and I call her Coal or Little miss. She's going to be so confused for a while with our lack of one consistant name for her. Oh well, at least Odee has a friend!

Becoming Home!

-S.R. boys didn't win at state but i'm so impressed they made it there!
-The hair show was amazing! I learned so many new things! Sis. Lambert asked me 2 come to activity day with the 8-11 year olds and teach them about hair and I am so pumped!
-I rearranged my livingroom, it helps me appreciate different pieces of furniture more. Well wes pointed out that you can see so much more of the walls now. So i painted!He even tempted me with black(my favorite color) for the trim but i didn't give in.Our house is becoming a home! And it only took about 3 years!Now wes wants to do the piano room! Sometimes he is such a girl that way! But i love him anyway!Who else can say their husband loves to shop, help pick out colors, & help decorate?! Now if only i would be smart enough to take before and after pics!
-It is decided=Odee(our cat)will be getting a friend! Now starts the quest for a girl cat(fixed and declawed!)to mellow him out!

Boise X's 2

The Snake River boys are going to state! So off to Boise we go! Then 2 weeks after that I will be going there again for a hair show! That is always interesting and fun! Plus Wes can have all day to shop while I'm in classes! In case you don't already know he can out shop me!

Fun Filled Weekend

All of you Snake River alumni will be proud to know that the boys basketball team has been way good this year! They play districts this friday which I am so pumped for!
I have still been swimming in the mornings! I know- good job to me! And we both have been going to the gym a couple of nights a week! Yes I too am impressed! This morning it was soooo tempting to stay in bed! Warm sheets, comfy pillows and the cat resting at my feet why would I want to get up? Oh so tempting just to stay there! But I have been sleeping so much better! It is nice to be able to lay down at night and actually fall asleep w/o medicine.
Saterday for valentine day we went to lunch with Cain and Libby and their kids. Then Wes and I went to a movie and had a nice dinner at home. Although he made the mistake of getting me a book so in the evenings I haven't been paying much attention to him now!I do love to read and I was wanting the new Anita Stansfield book really bad!
We went to Hazelton for the long weekend, well part of it anyway. And while we were there we tried out my father in laws new 4 wheeler! I forget how fun those can be! Wes tried his hardest to get me to fall off but he would have come down with me!(I was holding on so tight to him!) The morning air was freezing and I was just in sweats with my hood on tightly(looking oh so goofy!)but Wes was a good wind block for me. It was a nice weekend!

Happenings...

I'm going to get better at keeping up. Since it's been a while here's what has been happening:

3- we got new neighbors
4- pissed off the new neighbors(that's a crazy story!)
5- megan blessed her baby
6- went to rexburg to visit Alana(my lil' sister!)

Next thing on my list is to see the Twilight movie!I'm trying to talk Wes into it! Some things may not be in the right order but we're keeping busy!

I'M HOOKED!

So I am hooked on tetris! My younger sister recently had to tell me you can find anything on the internet! Since then I play tetris and the original mario games while wes watches sports,works, or when I think there is nothing to do! I wouldn't have thought it up on my own to look for games like that.So thanks Lana! I love you!
