Fishing at Little Lake

We spent some time at Island Park right after graduation. Jon and I wanted to go fishing at little lake one last time. So Grandpa took us with Jon dad and my dad too. It was really fun, but the fishing has been better in the past. But one lesson I learned is never give up a chance to go fishing.

GRADUATION!!

Jon and I graduated!!!

For those who do not know Jon graduated in Construction Management. I graduated in Communication, I plan on working in Human Resources. So you might be asking what we are doing now, now that we are grown-ups. I will tell you. Jon got a job in New Mexico in a town called Santa Fe. He is working on a construction sight that is supposed to be up and running in 2011. At that point we are not sure where we will be...

Service Project

While I was working with Outdoor Activities (on campus) we did a service project restoring trails in Targhee National Forest. A field biology class joined us on our little outing. We had a blast hiking a lot of miles, and saw some really cool things. It was the perfect day.

Together Again!!

Jon and I have been apart for the last month. It was wonderful to finally be together for this short time. Jon and I were looking for Hidden Lake when we found the "globe". This is a giant telescope ontop of Sawtill road. It was so totally cool, but so busy!!!

Hidden Lake

Jon finally took me to this wonderful beautiful lake...

Here are a few recent pictures of us...

Last Saturday Outting

I had an amazing opportunity to go horseback riding with the school on Saturday. We went to dry ridge in the Targee National Forest. It was a beautiful 4 hour ride. I was riding an albino quarter horse named Al. He was a very well tamed horse and we had an amazing time. The last photo is of Nicki one of my advisers in the Outdoor program. It was a beautiful day and the Tetons have never looked so good, I want to go again...

Memorial Day

This shows just a little bit of the fun we had while camping at the property this Memorial Day. We really did not have a lot of time to have fun. Dad worked us pretty hard building a fence. I just loved the time that we were able to get to be together and enjoy doing something together. Plus I got to drive daddy's new truck, I am so loved.

Big Springs

One Sunday Jon and I went with Nate and the kids to Big Springs. It is this beautiful stream up past Island Park. You can try to feed to the fish. Which we tried to do. The big fishes would not come out from under the bridge. Nate also found a frog. The kids really enjoyed that, and Ben actually kissed it!! GROSS!!! It was a beautiful perfect day!!

we are SPARTA!

Here are just a few pictures from one of our Volleyball Games. We are having a blast this season. We need to practice just a little bit more. We are having more fun than we should be.

Catching up - Ice Fishing this winter

It was so cold that day. The wind was blowing, and plus it is no fun when NO ONE catches any thing!!! But at least we got to go once this winter

Long TIme!!

I can not believe how fast time has blown by. It seems like we have been so busy. I am going to do my best updating everyone!!

Jon graduated in April. He will be walking with me in July though. After he graduated he tried to find a job. It took longer than we had hoped but at last he had found one. During his free time he tried to go hunting. He and Andrew went and scouted for Bear alot but never saw anything. Right before Jon got the job they had bought some food for Bear baiting. They never got to use it. Maybe next year.

I am in my last semester!! I am the Student Area Director over Outdoor Activities and I am also playing volleyball (I have pictures). I am just trying to survive right now.

It is worse now that Jon has left and is in New Mexico. He will be coming back to Rexburg in July when we graduate.

Valentines Weekend

Jon and I were separated this past weekend, which sucked. This was our first valentines we spent apart. Jon had a construction competition in Reno in which he left Wednesday at 3:30 AM. He rode on a bus for 12 long hours, in which he did not sleep. He was able to return Sunday at 2:00 AM. His team did well. They were late turning their project in, so they could not place. The rumor is if they did turn in it on time they would have placed 3. So GOOD JOB. Jon slept most of Sunday and even slept in Monday morning ( any one who knows Jon knows that he does not sleep in at all!).

So I did not want to be by myself the whole entire time, so my sister and I decided to go to my Aunt Malea's house. We left Friday at 2:30 and got back Monday around 1. It had been so long since I had I seen them. It was fun to play with everyone, except for Wyatt decided to throw up Saturday night. That was not fun. We watched a lot of movies. There was also a lot of baking involved. We even did chores. So I would put up pictures from Jon's competition, but he did not give me any, so there are just pictures from my Aunts house.

PondSkimming

Our school does Pondskimming every February for spirit week. Since I do the publicity for Outdoor Activities, I had the opportunity to help out. Now since I helped out Jon had no choice, he was going to do it. He went towards the end, and was freezing. If you cant tell he is wearing waiters and started going down in his fishing hat. He went down on an air board. He did pretty good, he didn't make it all the way across but he also did not have a really awesome crash. When he reach the end of the "pond" he hurried out and went to the warming tents to dry off and change clothes. The night was really fun and I am really glad Jon did it. I think secretly he had fun.

First time the gun was shot

We finally got out to shoot Jon's gun for the first time. He got this gun for Christmas. It is an AR 15 223. It is really pretty and heavy. It took us so long to shoot because he had to get a scope and mount it just right. Also we had to wait for a some what warm day so that we don't freeze. We went to the gun range for the first time and found out that it is 5 dollars a person to shoot, so Jon was the only one that got to shoot his gun. He did really good for "siting " in the gun. You can't really see his target but he is pretty close in the middle. It was really fun and we can't wait to go out and shoot it some more. He now wants to go coyote hunting in a week to really find out how it shoots.

Sheep Falls

A couple weeks ago Jon and his friend Andrew decided to explore Sheep falls in the winter time. They snow shoed 6-8 miles round trip. They hiked down to the falls and tried to do alittle fishing (if they caught a fish there would be a picture). All in all they had fun and saw a lot of animal tracks like: moose, coyote, and rabbit.
