Big Dog Satellite

05 September 2008

As soon as we got home from Colorado Springs, Jason got a phone call asking him to go to California to work at the California State Fair. He was so excited! I was so not excited! He was going to be gone for 3 weeks, and I did not want him to be gone! We got home late on Tuesday night and Jason left at 5am on Thursday. He worked long days and it was hard to be apart for that long. I was so happy when he came home!

Trip to Colorado Springs

17 August 2008

Jason and I found really cheap tickets to Denver so we decided to take a spontaneous trip to see his family! I hadn't been to his house so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity! Jason's brother, Daniel, and his family also went home that same weekend. It was really fun to see everyone! Jason's family took me to the army base where we went shopping at the commissary (the base's grocery store), went to the mini mall, and a few other stores. It was very interesting! It was raining the day we went and a huge loud speaker announced over the entire base a "thunderstorm warning". Jason took me for a tour of his town and showed me places he used to work and where he used to go when he lived there. It was so much fun! Of course we had to take a picture of the "1-800 Got Junk" truck. We also went to WaterWorld with Dan and Amanda and their two little boys. We loved the waterslides! Jason and I decided to go on a really HUGE waterslide. It was five stories high and dropped straight down. I was excited, but Jason was a little scared. We waited in line for about 30 minutes as we kept climbing higher and higher. By the time we got to the top, Jason starting asking me if I was sure that we wanted to do this. I told him that I was all for it, but if he wanted to go down we could. He said he was fine, but when it was our turn, he was pretty scared. He asked if we wanted to go. I thought he was asking if we wanted to go down the slide so I said yes! He was actually asking if we wanted to go back down instead of going down the slide. When I said yes he started heading for the stairs! haha! When he realized I still wanted to go, he said he would go first. He screamed the whole way down, but he loved it. When I met him at the bottom he had a huge smile on his face. 
Jason also took me to SuperTarget because I love Target! We didn't have much time, but it was a lot of fun to just walk around the store. I wish we had one in Idaho Falls! It's probably good that we don't though. :) 
I was also able to spend a lot of time with Jason's dad while we were there. We sat down on Sunday afternoon and went through a few picture albums while his dad explained each pi
cture to me. It was neat to see his army days when he served in Germany and Korea. He is such a neat man and I'm very grateful that he served his country.
When it was time for us to go home, we got a late start to the airport. We barely made our plane! We had to run down the terminal and we had it just as they were closing the door to the plane. I think they must have felt sorry for us because they let us on! Thank goodness! We were so happy that we made it that we took a picture to document it!

Fishing with the Fam

07 August 2008



We went fishing and had a picnic with some of our family this weekend! Ashley, Shaun, Kenzlee, Brock, Ralph, and Norma were able to go with us for the day. We had so much fun! We drove to a nearby lake and ate fried chicken, and then the boys headed out to fish! Kenzlee liked to stay next to the brook and throw rocks in. She liked the sound it made. She got to see a lot of butterflies, which she thought was pretty cool. Brock was in a happy mood (like always) and giggled at everything. The boys didn't catch any fish, but they sure had fun trying! On our way home we stopped for some square ice cream at a gas station (yum.....huckleberry). All in all it was a great day!

This was the closest we could get to Kenzlee smiling for the camera. She was ignoring everyone that day. It's cute now...... probably won't be so cute in a few years.


Brock had a great time fishing with us! He loved looking at the camera.

This is his "cool dude" look.

22 July 2008




Jason's parents were able to come and visit us this summer. It's the first time they have come to see us since we've been married. We had fun showing them the sights and we even went shooting. Jason really enjoyed showing them our new house and he even introduced them to the wii!

Independence Day!

05 July 2008





We had a blast this year on the 4th of July. It started with going to the Rexburg Parade with Ashley, Kenzlee, and Brock. Kenzlee loves her Uncle Jason and she was so excited when she realized that she was going to get to hang out with him! She liked the parade, especially when she realized that they were throwing candy. After the parade we went to Porter Park and played. In the afternoon we went down to Idaho Falls and met our friends Jeff and Julia Hildebrandt. We met our co-workers at the Green Belt for a "Melaleuca Style" party! We had everything from couches and canopies to a BBQ grill right next to the Shilo. We had a blast with our friends and got to watch the amazing fireworks.

20 April 2008









We went on a cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon, a few months late. We had to wait for me to be done with school and it was worth it. It was sooooo nice to be away for a while. We went to Catalina Island, Ensenada Mexico, and sailed the Pacific Ocean. We had so much fun and ate tons of food! We tried snails, fish eggs, octupus, and tons of other discusting things. We ate Mexican tacos from a vendor in Mexico and didn't even get sick! :) I've never seen so many little kids try and sell you something in my life! On board they even sang a honeymoon song to us at dinner and made us kiss through the entire song (if we stopped they started started the song over again). We met lots of great people and even saw dolphins! Let's just say...we had a blast. I didn't know it could happen, but I love him even more after getting seasick with him. (There were only a few times the boat was rocking really bad)

Each night we were on the cruise our steward made us animals out of towels! They were so cute! Jason took these lovely pictures each night. On the last night I "accidentaly" killed our ducks and I think Jason had a heart attack!

Our Wedding

14 February 2008


We were supposed to get married February 8th in the Rexburg Temple, but when President Hinckley passed away they moved the dedication of the temple back a week. We had to rearrange our entire wedding the week before. Man, that was hectic! We moved our wedding up a day and were married February 7th in the Bountiful, Utah Temple. It was a beautiful day, but it was really cold! We were so blessed to be able to have our families there with us as we were sealed for time and all eternity.
