Grand Tetons

Ryan and I went camping this weekend and had tons of fun! A couple years ago we found this campsite near the Hoback River, south of Jackson. Its called Wolf Creek and really not that special but we like it. It was a gorgeous day but the nights cool way down and Ryan forgot his sweatshirt, hence the blanket wrapped around him!! It was fun, we had chili, played Phase 10 and enjoyed the wilderness and peace!


                              Like I said, it really cools down at night and poor Ryan didnt have his sweatshirt! Lets just say that was the fastest we've ever packed up our campsite! ;)
 The next day we went to Grand Teton National Park and saw 3 moose, 2 bull moose and 1 cow! We were like 25 yards from the 2 bull moose and it was awesome!! The Grand Teton National Park was cool, but Yellowstone is way better!

Running and Fishing

Yesterday was the Teton Dam Marathon and Tami, Jaynee, Ryan and I did the 5k!! It was so fun and I'm so proud of everyone, especially Ryan! He really doesn't like to run but he did it anyways and did really good!


 It was also free fishing day in the state of Idaho so Ryan and I went up to his friends cabin in Island Park and went fishing! It was crappy weather and actually snowed that evening, so thats why I look like Im dressed for January! haha Ryan caught about 5 of these brooke trout and I caught one! They were unfortunately too small to eat but maybe in Georgia we'll get some big ones.

Mothers Day at Mesa Falls

Mothers Day was a great day! I got to talk to my mom who is truly amazing!! Ryan and I made these wood missionary plaque for our mothers which they both really liked and turned out great! I was able to talk to my brother Harrison who is serving an LDS mission in Knoxville, TN and doing great!! It was so fun to talk to him and he truly is amazing!! He is such a changed man and his testimony is so strong!! He brought tears to my eyes with the things he was saying!! After church Kelly and Steve invited us over for dinner (which was really good) and then we went to Mesa Falls!







I wanted to post this earlier but I was afraid Laurie would see! :)

Ombre Shirt

I really like the look of ombre clothing that is seeming to become more popular. I don't think I'm brave enough to try on my hair, but maybe one day. I came across this ombre shirt I found on pinterest and it had this great tutorial.
It was really pretty simple, I bought the dye and was going to have white at the top and slowly go into orange but I messed up and had to do it all orange, but I like the way it turned out!

Pantech

This is my Pantech phone which I've had for about 1 1/2 years and has been so good to me. Well after work on Tuesday I had forgotten that I put on phone in my jacket and totally washed it!!!!! I couldnt believe I did that! What a MELVIN! I've never done that and thought all was ruined! Lucky for me I have an amazing husband who is super smart and amazing. He took it apart and dried it overnight without ever turning it on and it worked!!! My phone actually turned on and is working perfectly fine!! I can't believe it went through a WHOLE WASHING MACHINE CYCLE and still works!!! So if you ever accidently wash your phone, DO NOT TURN IT ON, take it apart and let it air dry first or it will just short circuit and you can say good bye, but let it dry and hopefully your as lucky as I was!

Unbelievable!!

My tomato plant is GONE! Its been pretty windy today but I really didnt think too much of it, I mean it is Rexburg. So Ryan and I went to the store and when we got back Ryan was like, "Where's the tomato plant?!" The wind ripped it right off and its no where to be seen!! I have to laugh, I mean seriously Rexburg!! I still haven't decided if I'm going to buy another plant or not, if I do I'll have to tie it down with like a metal rod or something!

Topsy Turvey

First off, I LOVE TOMATOES! We always had tomato plants growing up and I loved it. I can literally eat them like an apple! Unfortunately since I moved out for college I haven't been able to have a garden because I've lived in apartments. Well I'm sure you guys have seen infomercials on these babies!! I bought it for like $3 during Christmas and giving it a go. It was really pretty simple to set up and I hope it works!!

It got cold the past couple nights so we had to bring it inside!

Its got about 5 little flowers at this point, but I'm having high hopes!
