HOOK

On Monday night we celebrated Preston's bday with a Hook Bash. Dress up is the name of the game and we took full advantage of getting our Hook on. What a great way to start off the week. Hook and gang

Rexburgs coolest couple. You should have seen the cake up close. It was frosted like the food fight stuff that they had in Hook when they had to teach Peter how to imagine.

The Camping Crew

Friday night we went camping and it was amazing. The weather was perfect. It felt so good to get into some of the nature Idaho has to offer. We shot off fireworks, roasted some mallows, had some campfire chats, and woke up to have the best pancakes and eggs ever. I think we'll go again next week.

Jonathan, these are my Blog readers!

I didn't post any pictures of my dear friend Jonathan for the chair post...so I am redeeming myself. Isn't he cute!!!

Halfsies

I did it!!!! The long awaited day arrived! The Teton Dam Marathon has been looming over my head since we signed up for it back in April. I had doubts at times that I'd be able to pull off running 13 miles...but I did it!!! Saturday June 14th arrived and the weather was perfect. We ate a sturdy breakfast of oatmeal and a banana and heading off to the starting line. I ran the entire thing and finished in 2:09. My girlfriends and I finished within minutes of each other and then we milked the marathon for all it's worth by eating all the watermelon, bananas, oranges, jamba juice, and great harvest bread I could down. We also waited in a long line for a massage that was well worth it. I HAVE to do a half marathon again. I'm hooked.

I love my Dad because...

He loves Jokes, His Family, The Gospel, His Wife, His Grandchildren, Working Hard, Exercising, and Reading! I am grateful for everything he does for me and my family. And to top it all of he's handsome.

Happy Father's Day DAD!!!

Sit yourself down

One of our favorite birthday gifts this year was from our favorite Rexburg married couple Dave and Jessica. They spoiled us with a yellow/gold/green crushed velvet chair. Boy were we suprised. I instantly tried it for size and it's a fit. Definately one of the comfiest chairs I've ever sat in. We started snapping shots of friends in our chair. Here are a few samples. Don't you wish you could sit yourself down?

One year older

I turned 23 yesterday. TWENTY-THREE!! Wow! I had a good run at 22 and I'm ready for the adventures and excitement of my 23rd year at life. Yesterday I woke up to breakfast in bed from my sweet roommates and spent a nice (not so sunny) day with friends and later dinner and rockband. Today we had a dessert party at our place and Kristine and I made these icecream cupcakes. They were a hit. What a great day.
