Hello Family and Friends!

Here are the pictures of our little trip through some scenic places near Island Park, ID. We just finished dropping Qeirstyn off with the Grandparents in West Yellowstone and decided to take advantage of our kid-less situation and do some driving. Enjoy!

Hello Family and Friends!

Here’s Qeirstyn’s latest “thing”. She forces me to sit down with her and build a little home for each Mexican train from the Mexican Train Game. It’s just one picture, but it’s cute.



An Afternoon at Lorenzo Bridge [Photo Album]

Hello Family and Friends!

Today we decided that we wanted to go out and take advantage of this wonderful weather we’re finally having. Last week it as just terribly windy and a little too cold to really enjoy anything outside. On our way to Idaho Falls yesterday, we noticed that there was a fun little park next to Lorenzo Bridge where fisherman and boaters can release their boats into the Snake River. After we crossed the spring run-off in the car, which was deep enough to leak into our doors, we let Qeirstyn throw rocks into the water and she laughed every time she made a big splash. We found a couple of snakes along the way as well – one baby water snake and one adult water snake (pictured). Qeirsty really loved them as well, but wasn’t hesitant to let them back into the wild. We took some time to look around for some frogs, and then we headed off back home to get a nap and then to take some family photos!

Enjoy!

Hello Family and Friends!

So the title is a bit cryptic, let me explain. We took some brand new family photos today at the same place we had the ward BBQ which is called the Rexburg Stake Recreation Center. We had a lot of fun and I think we left with a lot of really good pictures. Take a look for yourselves!

Ward BBQ and a Trip to Idaho Falls [Photo Album]

2009 May 10

Hello Family and Friends!

It was quite the Saturday here in Rexburg. The church ward organized a BBQ out at this park (The Rexburg Stake Recreation Center) and it was a big hit. Qeirstyn loved playing around with the other kids and sliding down the huge slide. She ventured off and found some ants to play with and watch after she explored every inch of the baseball fields. We got a lot of sun (finally) and got a little burnt in the process, but it was a lot of fun. After the BBQ, we went down to Idaho Falls to celebrate Mother’s Day early. We hung out at the Snake River Falls and chased the ducks around. After that we went to the mall where Heather got her Mother’s Day gift (The Twilight Soundtrack) and Qeirstyn played with the toy train set they had there. We finished the night off with some steak at Sizzlers and then went shopping for more stuff at Target. Then after the 30 minute drive home, we passed out and went to sleep.

Enjoy the photos!
