Honeymooners in Hawaii

We went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. We want to go back really bad but fixing up our little place is taking all of the money. ;) We had a really good time. We ate tons of good food there...even the hotdogs were amazing. We ate pineapple until our tongues were raw. The night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was AWESOME!! Lots of fun memories!

Yosemite was beautiful! We took a trip there for our 1 year anniversary. The trip started out with one day and night up to Lake Tahoe and then we headed to Yosemite. On the way there we stopped at a little ghost town named Bodie. That was really interesting. It was an old mining town and when things started to get rough people just up and left everything there. The stores, schools, and peoples homes still had almost everything in them. We stayed a night in Mammoth CA. ( BEAUTIFUL). Then for the last night we camped out in good old Clover Valley. We went to Zions National Park for our 2nd anniversary but I dont have any pics because we hiked through the Narrows and part of the hike involved swimming so we couldnt take the camera. We are planning to go back someday to hike through the Subway which I hear is even better.

more fun pictures and stories!

Sam threw me a Birthday party and invited a bunch of friends and family. We grilled burgers and it ended up being lots of fun. One week after our Birthdays Sam had gallbladder surgery and I got a new hair cut. I had long hair for a lot of years so this was a huge thing for me....haha but it turned out o.k. so I kept it short. Sam, Marc, and Farnes went fishing on the Feather river in California and each caught a King Salmon. They really enjoyed it and Farnes took a bunch of fun video of the trip. Then Marc and I had a grill competition to see who could cook the best piece of salmon.... I won't say who won! :(

Sam, Weston, and Ryan hiking up to Steele Lake: Me and my girls having fun at the lake

We had a lot of fun in the summer of 2007! Sam was able to hike up to Steele Lake with Weston before he left on his mission and Ryan, Weston's cousin, was able to go also. They had a good time and luckily Sam's gallbladder didn't act up on him at the lake. He had to have it taken out the very next month.

All of my buds came to visit for a weekend and we had a blast. We went out to dinner for girls night and then hung out at the beach and had tons of fun out on the boat. This was the first time I took the boat out on my own and I must admit I backed it down the dock better than the men next to us. Hahahah!!!

More memorable moments!

These are just a few more memorable moments. We traveled a bunch and saw an awesome double rainbow on the way home from Elko. I watched Keaton for Becky one day and we made and decorated sugar cookies. He had so much fun...now everytime he comes to Aunt Brooke's he wants to make cookies...last time he helped me make chocolate chip pancakes....yummmmm! There is also a pic of our first garden. We were soooo proud of it. It was HUGE!!! We ended up giving tons of it away because we couldn't eat it fast enough. I like to think that the reason my dad ended up getting a green house is because he saw our garden and was soo impressed! ;)
