S'mores, S'mores, and more S'mores

This weekend we headed up to the good old out doors again! We had planned to head up with some friends, but things came up for them so in the end, it was just our little family in the big Wilderness! It was so relaxing to just do what we wanted, when we wanted! We spent our days playing cards, hiking, shooting the b.b. gun at Random Flying, crawling, and squirming Objects, and just chilling by the fire.On Friday night my sister and her little family came up to visit us for dinner and S"MORES!! (mmm, I can taste them now) It was so fun to hang out with them and chat around the fire... and sad to see them leave at the end of the night! That next morning Larry and I woke up and made a roaring fire with all the left over wood we had and decided, why not do S'mores again??? I am pretty sure it was S'more for breakfast that morning- but hey your camping right!!!??? Fall is sure working its way in!! This camping trip proved that! We stayed bundled up most of the time and like most trips where you are trying to stay out of the sun, this one we were trying to find the sun! But I LOVE this kind of campin weather- it's perfect for me! I'm ready for another weekend! Bring on the cold! So if any of you are up for a weekend of campin, give us a jingle and we will gladly join ya....... Thanks Larry, Brenley, and Iceman for making this such a fun weekend! I sure love my family!!

Tag, I'm it!

High School Tag!!

I have been tagged by this twice... so I figured It might be fun to think back of the good old days at RIVERTON HIGH!!

1. Did you date someone from your school? Yeah, a few too many people??? That I now ask myself WHY,HOW,and there are a few EWWWs in there too. I figure, it was all a fun learning expierence for me... I did end up dating someone from school after we graduated who later became my husband;)
   
2. What kind of car did you drive? An old White ACURA LEDGEND baby!! Anyone remember how it used to always smoke from the hood?? and how we had to drive around in the heat of the summer with the heater blastin?? That car was a trooper! LOL good times good times!
   
3. What was the most embarrassing moment of HS? Oh dear... I can't even think of one! I am sure there were plenty!!!
   
4. Were you a party animal? I had fun! :)
   
5. Were you considered a flirt? I don't think so,It never was my thing..I always got so annoyed of those girls who were major flirts!! And the boys I wanted to flirt with I was too much of a wuss to even say anything! Or would make an idiot of myself if I did open my mouth!! Anyone remember STEAK OR CHICKEN? ( idiot!!!)
   
6. Were you in band, orchestra or choir? No, can't say I was in H.S. I figured out I wasn't too talented in those area's- I tried the flute in 6th grade, that lasted about a week, and did choir in 9th, but I think I played more than sang (good times though right jess??) After that I guess I figured I had better find a better hobby... still trying to find that hobby??!!
   
7. What is your High School's full name? Riverton High School SILVERWOLVES!!
   
8. Were you on any Varsity Teams? No, but good for all of those people who were!! My grades were never good enough to ever attempt anything...
   
9. Did you ever get suspended/expelled? Nope and Nope
   
10. Can you still sing the fight song? Um...NO.... I don't know if I could sing it back in H.S.
    
11. Who were your favorite teachers? I don't remember names- but Sociology, aerobics!!
    
12. Where did you sit at lunch? Random places... Wherever my friends were
    
13. School Mascot? Silverwolf
14. Did you go to Homecoming, if yes with who? Wow, lets think back.. Jared Nelson, Matt Newman, and Shawn Adams ( I think) Good Times!
    
15. If you could go back and do it again would you? Nope- I have lived it once, and thats good enough for me! I love the life I am living now!
    
16. What do you remember most about graduation? Not a whole lot- just a long day- and fake goodbyes!
    
17. Where did you go for Senior Skip Day? I had lots of Sr. Skip days

21. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? We will see if we are feeling up to it- we still see and keep in contact with all the people we really care to keep in contact with.
    
22. Looking back, what advise would you give yourself? TRY HARDER, get involved, Have lots of fun, get better grades, prepare for college, no boyfriends, take more pictures, chicks before *icks (sorry had to put that one), your mom and dad really are fun and know kinda what they are talking about, boyfriends=trouble, Be nicer to people, Don't be so shy, Some friends really arn't your friends, Don't lie to your friends parents, Parents know a lot more than you think they do! Would you want your kids to know you did that???? No Doze pills are bad, True friends last through thick and thin... Oh man, I could go on and on!
    

I tag anyone who feels like taking that trip back to High School!

Have fun

All Camoed out!

The other night I was getting Brenley ready for bed and happened to put her in her camo jammies.... and since Larry had all his hunting stuff out I couldn't resist doing a little photo shoot! Brenley was such a good sport, considering it was her bed time. I didn't get any smiles, just blank stares... :) Dad was sure proud of the pictures though!

Luckiest Woman In The World!!

Today I went to answer the door and this is what I found, along with a sweet note from my husband who is out of town right now... i was so happy, I got those fun butterflies in my stomach, ya know the ones you get when your first dating...that make you just smile from ear to ear and maybe brings a tear or two to your eye?? It's the times like these that we are reminded the reason why we fell in love. I could not ask for a better man in my life! Thanks babe, you have made my day!!

Why Yes, I would love to fly to the Beach for the day!!! Tell me when and where and I will be there!!
This past Friday Larry and I decided at the last second to fly out to San Diego with my family for my little bro's 14th birthday party. We were planning on taking Brenley but Larry's mom volunteered to watch her for the whole day so we could have a little time together... Thanks Barb!!!! Since Larry has been working out of town for the past little while we really needed that time! So we packed up and met my mom, Brothers and my little Bro's two friends at the airport Friday morning to fly out! (who can really say they went to Pacific Beach for there Birthday Party... heck, I wasn't even lucky enough to make it to McDonalds!!) We flew in to San Diego, rented a mini van (those 14 year olds thought it was pretty lamo that we were cruisin in Cali in a mini van) and then drove to good old Pacific Beach! Now this little beach town is definitely... a beach town, and needless to say this post baby body just didn't fit in. I decided, that if your not a size 2, super tan, and have fabulous abs...you should't even consider moving to this town, or even driving through! It gave me a bit of motivation to get this booty back in shape- o-well, we still had a blast!! Larry and Tyler were nutso out there... They actually ended up getting yelled at by the life guard , lol, it was a bit funny! My mom even got in the water and did a bit of body boarding! I tell you what, she is one tough chick for a fifty one year old!! By the end of the trip we were all waterlogged and sunburned, but, it was soooo worth it! Thanks Braden, for letting us tag along on your Birthday party! We had a blast and can't wait until the next San Diego trip! (p.s. if you are wondering, my mom works for Jet blue so us kids fly for free and everyone else just has to pay $50.. so it makes flying easy for us!) Wahoo for San Diego, Sunburned faces, taco bell, a $24 airport meal, surfer dudes, mini vans, mother in laws, Jet Blue, Sunscreen, Sunglasses, California traffic, 14 year olds with topless ladies, and all that San Diego has to offer!!!

I think I can get the hang of this!!

Sooo, you see- My Sweet Husband has been wanting to get me a bow for a while- saying that "it would be so fun to shoot together" and yada yada yada- so I gave in and for my birthday in February we got one- and for those of you ladies who don't have the privilage of living with a bow hunter (and those of you who do, will know exactly what I am talking about;) you don't just get the bow and your ready to shoot - you have to get all the "pricy necesseties" to go along with it so you can actually shoot it! So needless to say it took until August to finally be able to get everything on and ready to go! So the other day we went out to shoot....and.... I LOVED IT!! It was so much fun, and I think this could be a new hobby of mine! Larry has been working out of town the past few weeks and I have been trying to be so patient and not look to anxious to go shoot more! So any of you looking for a new hobby- try bow hunting!!! (Crystal, I'm finally ready, lets go party!)
