And they're off

Yesterday was the start of a 5 day survival trip for these three crazy guys. If anyone has ever watched Man vs Wild on the Discovery Channel, this is what inspired the whole thing. First it started out with them each only taking a knife, but as the weeks went on they decided they might need to bring a few other essentials.
They are going to build their own shelter and try to catch fish with their bare hands... they have to wait till tuesday to bring out the fishing poles :-)

While they are off having that adventure I am getting ready to go to girls camp, we leave on tuesday. Last night I went over to my friends blair and lindsi's and we had a little pampering night with blairs two sisters.



Here are some pictures from our trip to yellowstone a few weeks ago

The buffalo were walking right along the road, we could have reached out and touched a couple of them


I look really scrappy in this picture, but theres old faithful!



The first of our two bear sightings!! They were both little bears like this one, and the other one was way up in a tree so we couldnt get a good pic of him





i like this one because theyre kissing

Moose sighting

On a loooooooooooooong hike up to Lake Blanche, we came across a huge moose! Greg got pretty close to it to take these pics. He's nuts!!





Becca and I at the very top

Our Hair Show

Raquel Evelyn Carter

Gregs mission buddy Steve and his wife Erin just had their first little baby, she was born two weeks ago! I made her this blanket and have been begging G to take me to see her and i finally got to :-)



Me and little Raquel



She loved her new blanket and got wrapped up in it right away. She was so cute!!!



The little family :-)

An attempted hike to Lake Blanche

Mirror Lake

I skipped school for the afternoon so we could take a trip to mirror lake. It is about an hour outside of Heber. It has beautiful scenery and I saw my first moose!!! (actually there were two, a baby and a mama) They ran across the road ahead of our car. I wasnt able to grab the camera in time. We caught two fish and ate one of them.

Weekend fun

Saturday after school and work we had date night. I took G out for froxen yogurt at the our new favorite place, maverik gas station... you wouldnt think it, but its delicious!!!
Then we went fishing up at deer creek in Heber with Tyler



I caught a foot long small mouth bass, this is not a very good picture, but it was beautiful!



And this is the little guy G caught, hehe



Friday night we had a ward dinner at the park. We're finally getting to know everybody and had alot of fun. Greg and all the boys played ultimate frisbee and I chatted with some of the women folk about being married and keeping the house clean. This is us with some of our married friends :-)

Surprise!

I came home yesterday to some beautiful rainbow roses for being such a good wife :-)

New Hair, Again

I was getting really tired of my long hair so today while i was at school i decided to chop it!!!! Now its gone! I really like the cut, its not very exciting, same style just shorter, but its fun :-)
