IDAHO

Well from 9-6-07 to 9-11-07 I was out in Idaho by my family. It was so nice to see all of them. You dont realize how much you miss them till you see them and live day to day with them. I got to hang out with Brett a lot that was fun. Him and I went hicking it was cool, we went up the MT. it was cool was she the "big buck" he really was HUGE. I have a pic but its hard to see so yeah wont go there. LOL. Thats Brett and I after our hike.... Well lets see what else did we do... not a whole lot. The house is so pretty... everything is very pretty. The one thing that kind of sucks is how far away they are from EVERYTHING. Town, a gallon of milk is about 15-20 min away thats crazy. WalMart is about an hour. I would go insane.

This pic is off the deck looking out into the yard :)

The pic of the swing and things is the fire pit, behind those trees is the trout stream... its very pretty and the soud of the water is so nice.

This was a pic of the sunset driving home... let me tell you everynight was beautiful. Thats something I could see and never get sick of it.

So there are a TON more pics from my trip but right now I am about to fall asleep. I will try and put more up later. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care :)

Labor Day Weekend....

Well where to begin? Lets see.... I will just start with this past weekend. Friday night we (Derek and I) went out to dinner with the Topels to celebrate Mallorys 8th birthday. We had such a great time out with them. Here are some pics from that....

So that was Friday night... then onto Saturday...

I went over to Nicoles moms for the day. Lisa was having a HUGE rummage sale so I helped with the for a little bit. Then in the evening we had a camp fire outside and made brats hotdogs and smores... it was so fun just to sit and relax. It was nice that Derek got to come meet us out for the camp fire later that night. Then Sunday... ok so I was a little on the lazy side and sleep A LOT. We meet up with Mike and Tera for the Demo Debies. We sat on the hill and got eatten alive by BUGS!! It was a nice night out with friends. It was cool that Zoe got to meet up with us later. For those of you who dont know Zoe is Mikes daughter and I lived with them so I lived with her and yeah... it was just nice to see her. Here is a pic of Derek and I that night.

Well that was Friday, Saturday and Sunday... yeah a busy weekend but thats not all folks.... Monday was Labor Day so we both had off of work and decided to make the best of it. We started out with a very pretty drive up to Spring Green to visit the House on the Rock. I was there when I was a kid and Derek had not been there ever. Its not as I had remembered as a kid, in fact in kind of scared me a little. The place was dark with lots of strange strange things in it. Here are some pics of the House on the Rock. ENJOY :)

The pic of Derek is him standing in the "Infinity Room" it was very high and nothing supporting it, which was kind of cool. The books are a bookcase in the actcual part of the house thats 3 stories tall. When your in the house its very hard to see what it actcually is due to how dark it is. So the flash on the camera came in nice. Last but not least... the other pic is of the merry-go-round. Its HUGE and not one horse on it. If I remember it had over 20,000 lights on it. Very cool... prolly the best thing there.

So... if thats not enough we decided to go to Cave of the Mounds on the way home. Once again I had been there but Derek never had. Here are some pics from that.

There is the pic of Derek and I ... then the next one was MY favorite part of the cave.... it was basically a little cave inside the big cave but just looked very cool... the pic really does nothing for it. Then the third pic is of what they called the "lake"... really its only a few inches deep but looks like it would down forever.

So that was our weekend. Then tuesday back to work it was. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Talk to you all soon.
