Babies!!

Robins!!

O.K. so last week Craig came inside from mowing the lawn to tell me there were a couple of nests in our little pine trees. I of course was very excited so I had to go and take some pictures. The first one is of course the Robin eggs and the other I'm not sure of but the Mommy is quite small. So it surprised me when I looked into her nest and found so many. Anyway I was going to post these pictures last weekend but forgot and decided to do it today but before I did I wanted to check on them. I of course was thrilled when I found that two of the Robin eggs had hatched. They are so tiny and hungry. I hope they survive. It's been so cold and wet that I wasn't sure they would even hatch. As you can see one didn't but I still have hope that it will. Just for your info. The nest are both only about 4 inches in diameter. So that will give yo an idea on there size. Some of you probably think I am a bit nuts but I do enjoy Mother nature at work. ♥

Anyway enjoy the pictures!

Our Room

So we stayed at the Destinations Inn down in Idaho Falls. It is a nice hotel. They of course have different themes for every room. If you want to check it out here is there web address.

Anyway we chose the destination of Venice. And I stole the web pictures from their site to show you how it looks. Is that legal? I guess we may find out.

But this place is great! When you get there they have two yummy pieces of cheese cake waiting for you and some sparkling apple cider. The cider is on ice next to the little table on the balcony in the first picture. And then in the morning they bring you a small breakfast at any time you tell them. Very relaxing getaway.

This is the cool bubbler tub. Loved this!!

Around the tub there is water on the floor where the tile is. Kind of funny.
The tub is facing in the direction where a big screen comes down to watch the projector T.V.

The bed is up on the bridge.
And over in the corner to the top left is a steam shower.


You can see the projector in this picture.
It is a fun place to see.
You can actually go on Friday and Sat. afternoons and just go on a tour and see all the rooms too. So you should do that. They do some pretty fun things to these rooms to make them look like all these different locations.
And I want to say a big thanks to my Mom and Dad for the gift certificate! You guys are great!
Anyway!!
Have a great day!

Our Anniversary!!

May 20, 1995

So today we are celebrating 15 years.

I thought I would put up a few pictures from when we first met and our wedding day.

This first one is our first date!! So funny to look at.

Yes we went to Prom for our first date. =)

We had a great time and made lots of funny memories.

One being we rode in the back of an old Chevy blazer and sat on the spare tire on our way to dinner and the dance.

No I'm not kiddding!

We also had to climb out the back through the window and then it started to rain on our way inside. =) I laughed so hard that night!

Putting on flowers

Dance picture.

One month and one year later we got married.

Yes I do love the color red.

We were so young!!

I must say after everything we have been through there is no logical reason for us to still be together. Statistics were against us from the beginning.

Married young, death of a child, infertility, and multiple other sorrows we have had...

I guess we are just either very stubborn or in love.

I think it's probably a lot of both.

I love you Craig and I would never want to go through life with anyone else by my side.

Happy Anniversary!

Family Picture Time

So we took on the frustrating task of trying to get a good family picture. As many of you know that can be very trying. And for anyone that has met Katie you can imagine just how impossible it can be to get a good one of everyone. So anyway we went to the river bottoms and also our back yard. The wind and lighting was not on our side but I think we got some nice ones. We are wanting to make one of the family shots into a very large print so...

Let me know what you think!

Some of our good friends helped us out. Thanks Josh & Leah!!

The ones of Katie are lucky shots.

We got two good ones out of about 50 takes.

She is beautiful!!

This one looks really good in color because of her eyes.
