timpy timp

NOt sure what happened here and why some picts are sooo large, I cant figure out how to fix it?.. anyhow, this weekend we met Will and Emily up AF to hike Timp.. oh boy oh boy was it a good one.. I seriously love that hike, probably my favorite! If you have never done this hike and you live in Utah, shame on you...

THe bowhunt.....

A few weekends ago we headed down to Fish Lake to spend the weekend with Tys fam and fam friends for the annual bow hunt-food fest.. Fish Lake is gorgeous and the weather was fantastic! I got to wear a long sleeve all day, mmm it felt so good. Every year Laney and his friends and all the families take a weekend to get fat, sit around the fire and eat... at least it is held in a rockin place.. maya found a swamp to play in with annie, the Easter bunny made an appearance and sitting around the campfire making fun of each other were just of few of the highlights...

Xray views

I just have opened the xray/ct scan photo cd from St. Mary's hospital on my work computer and created a photo album which is located by the other photo albums. They're pretty darn cool, and since we payed so much money for these pictures I figured I would share some.

Ty is wishing he was up on the rock walls that surrounded the river.... sorry Ty, not yet

Afterwards Ty, me, Trina and Trev jumped into the river.. oh boy oh boy it was cold.. im not kidding you.. freeeezing! Everyone else was super speedy out of there so we decided to make em wait even longer..I only lasted a min but they are played and froze for a little while longer..This canyon is so lush and green... Super nice and relaxing weekend.. Its always good to spend time with the fam.. we have a good one.. Star Valley Rules

Star Valley

Okay, so last weekend we went to Afton for the fam reunion.. I love love love that place... The whole drive up there we got calls from everyone telling us it was monsoon weather and they were thinking of coming home. Everyone but my parents, lance and Em went Wed and I guess the weather was rainy pretty much the whole time.. but by the time we got there the monsoon had stopped, but only for about 45 min... They were out roastin mellows and chillen.. SOon the rain started again and everyone ran for shelter...




Tess looks cold eh?.. this is right before the floods came..

We woke up to some of the most beautiful weather ever! The sun was shining and the rain was gone! It actually felt really good to be cold and have to wear a coat.,,, mmmm... so we stayed at Star Valley Ranch and apparently they had hired a balloon man to come and give rides.. We were a week early for the ride sesh, they were just testing the area out... The kidlings were all excited and the balloon man had pins for them all which was even more exciting... they were just about to leave and the balloon man asked if anyone wanted to jump in, well my mom was standing right there and hopped right in.. she was super psyched and there she went far far away.. someday I know Ty will surprise me with a ride?.. hint hint...

Jetta is honestly the messiest eater out there... here she is snacking on morning cereal..

relationships

I have to say that Ty and I have some pretty good relationships in our lives. This weekend we went hiking with Pete, we went up to Red Pine which was so pretty. The flowers were in full bloom and the temps were perfect.

i must have stolen his food..

gazing into the wild...

some more...

Costa Rica was a vacation to the max . Staying at a all inclusive resort is pretty much unbeatable. The food was delicious, the beach and pool were rockin, the rooms were as big as our house and the weather was sooo nice. It was fun to spend time with Ty's family and the Coopers (Nats new hub's fam) Thanks Nat and Braden, the vacation was awesome!

sunset cruise

chillen on the beach

The golf course was the best in the country, too bad none of us play golf...


we went on a jungle like boat ride looking for alligators, we saw a few, slightly... we stopped and went for a little walk to find monkeys, this is what we found, big man eating crabs! The cooper boys thought it would be funny to capture a few and throw them in our boat... not funny... these guys were deadly..

nate took us on the tour d' costa rica, let me tell you it was a hard ride.. im pretty sure i lost 10 lbs from sweating so much..

love birds...

Natalies Wedding in Costa Rica

Natalie was married in Costa Rica on July 12, and both families were invited to spend the week on vacation with them. This was a beautiful relaxing wedding.
It took so long to get our photo card back because natalie and braden have been using them to create photo cd's for everyone of the entire vacation. There is more wedding photos in our photo album (lower right hand side of the page) and also of the rest of team gecko's vacation which was a complete hookup for us this summer.

Team Send Back Together....

... This weekend was a pretty fun one filled with team sends laughter.. Im happy to say after the trip to Costa Rica, (which I am still waiting for the picture card to show picts), Ty is feeling pretty much back to normal, although he is still in recovery mode(strength), he is doing amazingly better... The fun began when the bike crew headed to the Gallivan for some good tunes, followed by a firework show in our front yard, eating sloppy joes, then we headed to PC for a rain storm and more good tunes, watched Ace Ventura, and went and saw Dark Night(loved it). The past days have been full of good times, nice weather and love..

Ty and Will are chess champions these days, here they are in one intense game they obviously have their game faces on..

White Pine lake was apparently freezing, beautiful but freezing. I was smart and stayed out... I love summer days..

thats one tired puppy
