Brianne and Brandon get hitched

Brianne, my brother Scott's oldest child got married in Denver.  Let's take a look at the happy couple, and some of the goings on, shall we?

The Denver Aquarium 2008

While in Denver we swung over to the aquarium.  We had a good time and saw lots of fish (surprise, surprise!) and other wild life.  Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.  (What else did you expect from an amateur?)  P.S.  How exactly do you spell amateur?

Denver 2008

Yep... just got back from Denver.  The pics are of the downtown Denver skyline and our hotel.  It's a looooooooong drive to Denver from home, but we had a great time. And if you click on the play button below, you'll get to see some live Aquarium action.  Can't beat that for free now, can you?  Huh?  Can you?

Mesa Falls

On the way home from Island Park we stopped by Mesa Falls and played tourist.  It was worth the stop.  Wow... talk about beautiful!  I'll post a few pics and let you see for yourselves.

Island Park... Yeeeee Hawwww

Hola amigos...

So my boys, mom and I spent some time in Island Park with my friend Cindy, her two girls and some of her extended family.  We rented a rustic, teensy weensy rustic cabin in the woods and spent time 4 wheeling, floating/canoeing the Snake River from Big Springs to Mack's Inn, and staying up most of the night talking and laughing.  

After following Cindy at break neck speeds on the dirt trails, I better understand the meaning of the expression, "Eat my dirt."   What a kick in the pants!

Jade spent some time fishing on the Snake and pulled in a couple of trout.  All hail to the mighty fisherman!  Jace found a trashy Harlequin romance novel to read (ahem... don't tell his friends!), and I have to admit I read one too.  I am deeply ashamed of myself, and fear admitting it, but... there you have it.

Well, that's it in a peanut shell.

 

The Boys

Oh my gootness... I need to put up pics of my middle man and my baby.  Here they are.  Ahhh... what wittle cutie wooties, ¿no?

The Missionary

Hey... fun news!  Jordan got transferred from being an English speaking missionary to being a Spanish speaking missionary!  How cool is that?  Now... if only he knew Spanish.  Ha, ha.  Just kidding, but he'll have a lot more learning to do.  

Visit to Orofino

Recently went up north with mom, Sue and Duaine to visit Scott.  Spent the week of the 4th up there.  It really is beautiful country, and nice to be able to see Scott.  Too bad he's 10 hours away, cuz it'd be nice to be able to go more often.  

The hotel overlooks the river, and we sat on the patio of the hotel and watched the fireworks, from up close and personal, get shot out over the river.  It was beautiful.

Enjoy a few of the pics from our visit.

First try at this blogging business

Howdy folks!

I'm new at this, but it looks like fun.  We'll see where this goes, but for now -- buckle up and enjoy the ride!
