Young Women Campout

The Young Women and some of the leaders went on a campout on Friday afternoon. We went to the Uintas National Forest, and hiked about 3 miles to get to the spot where we were staying overnight. I almost froze during the night. :)

Here are some of the young women hiking up.



Crossing some dangerous waters- Just kidding, the water was really cold so nobody wanted to experience falling in or getting their feet wet.

Francis and me, trying to get warm by the fire.



Amy and Kristen.
Amy had a rough morning, we went on a hike in the morning and Amy fell in a mud pit and got stuck. In the picture, she is crying and smiling at the same time. Her pants were soaking wet, and she is holding the stick that I threw to her, which helped pull her out.

The Day Before Halloween

For Halloween, we had Felippe and Joana stay at our home. We had lots of fun hanging out with them. We don't see them very often because they live in Salt Lake, but we were lucky we were able to spend time with them on Saturday and Sunday morning. (They stayed the night)
Here are pictures of the pumpkin we carved on Saturday night.

More Fun Stuff!

Here is a picture of me with my short hair.






David and Cute Brayden.
Sara and Eric went on a hot date Saturday night, and we went over to babysit for them. I pulled out my camera, and Brayden knew exactly what to do, he sat with David and smiled. I loved it!
Brayden was so well behaved.






Olivia looked a little confused while David and I kept telling her to look at the camera. She was too busy studying the person that was holding her. She was wondering where Sara was in all this chaos.







Then she looked up and "click" a picture was taken.

At the Jensen's home, celebrating our 3 month aniversary! 10/03/10

Johnny (David's friend) and his parent's had a little celebration at their house with family and friends, celebrating our wedding. They couldn't make it to our actual wedding in Reno so they decided to celebrate it in Utah. The day that this was planned was also our 3 month anniversary, so it worked out great!

One of our gifts was the game Mario Kart Wii and a Wii controller. Now that we have 2 Wii controllers David and I can play against each other. ! :)







Cutting our cake !












We were really happy! We had such a fun night, and it was a really nice surprise.

Reno

I went to Reno for a couple of days and was happy to see my family again. I was a little homesick, but after I got to Reno, I started missing David and started getting homesick again, and this time from being away from my husband. I am happy that I had the opportunity to see the Bolingbroke's and the Garcia's. Until next time!






The beautiful mountain scenery taken from the train










My mom had an old friend come visit from Chihuahua, Mexico the day that I got to Reno. We haven't seen her in a long time. It was a really special treat. She used to babysit us when we were really young, and my mom has special memories of her. Sam and I can't quite remember her, but Ruth, Rudy and David have good memories of her. My parents were really happy to have her family visit, and to have me there too ( I think) :)
~David and Talia came that night~




Selene and her family took a tour of Lake Tahoe, with my dad being their tour guide. :)
My Mom and Selene were two happy ladies.



















There was a car show at Lake Tahoe, we stopped to take pictures.

Softball Tournament 09/03 - 09/04/10

David had a softball tournament in Price, Utah. We left Friday at 5:30pm and got there at 7:30pm. It was a long 2 hour ride but we carpooled with Johnny and his girlfriend Amanda. We had lots of fun in the car. David played from 8:00pm to 11:00pm that night, beating the teams that they played. David played the next morning and played all day. From 9:00am to 4:00pm. It was a long day for all of us, for David's team had lost.



David Playing

Reporting from Provo Utah!

Well things have been great for us in our small humble home here in Provo, Utah. On Sunday we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Bolingbroke's house where we spent time with them. We had a wonderful time having dinner and afterwards playing dominoes. Luckily we were also there with David's uncle Kevin and aunt and there 3 kids who where also visiting Grandpa and Grandma Bolingbroke because of David's aunt's birthday. We had so much fun playing with the pin ball machine. (sorry no pictures)
School started Monday which means we will have to start thinking about hom(ework, research papers, and tests, but overall we are glad that school has started again and is keeping me a little more busy.




Here is David modeling for us! (David says he wasn't modeling!) My brother Rudy bought David this shirt in Hawaii while he was on his honeymoon. One day David decides to try it on, and realizes he can barely breath. The shirt is super cute but super tight! I laughed so hard when David put it on and walked around the house with it. David was a little disappointed that the shirt didn't fit, but was happy to know that Rudy thought he was a "smaller" size.

Both times that I have gone to Grandma and Grandpa Boingbroke's house, we never leave empty-handed, she's given me corn, and squash and zucchini and broccoli that she has grown in her own garden. So I decided to make squash bread which I have never had and never made.




Here is a picture of the squash bread that I made yesterday. It's actually really yummy and David likes it a lot. I am blessed to have a husband who likes everything and tries anything!

Happy Birthday to ME!

For my birthday, David made me breakfast and he took me out to dinner after he got off work. We went to the Brick Oven for dinner and it was pretty good. Here is a picture of me before we went out that night. I was so excited I couldn't stop smiling.









We celebrated my birthday at Sara's on Monday, she made dinner and she made me a cake. That was so nice of her! Her cake was delicious!

Here is Sara and Brayden

Having fun with cute Olivia

Brayden did a great job helping me blow out the candles!

Outside our basement home

There is a really big mountain close to where we live, which you could see very well from outside our door, so we are not surprised about what our neighbors have to say about a mountain lion that likes to come down and hang out by our street and close to the area. Our neighbors have told us to watch out! We haven't seen it, but we have spotted a buck just outside our door so we know what that mt. lion is going after. One afternoon a little after twelve, I opened the door and to my surprise there was a buck outside our front driveway, I hurried inside to grab my camera and started taking pictures. So from now on, everytime I open the door I'm always keeping an eye out for that mountain lion and for deer. :)
