Family Fun in Show Low

So Jenna has been doing a great job at keeping everyone informed but I am out of school right now and have nothing better to do, so here it goes. We are very lucky and grateful to have such good brothers in our family. Ryan thanks for letting us use the cabin in Torreon to share such a special family time. This weekend Jenna's mom, bother Jimmy, Sister Missy and husband Derek where all able to meet up in Torreon out side of Show Low at Ryan's cabin for a Christmas weekend. This is the last time we will all be able to get together due to the fact that Derek and Missy are going to South Africa to serve a tour in the Peace Corps for two years.(Did you know that the Peace Corps budget is as much as the Military's Coffee budget is that sad or what) Anyhow we had a great time with each other playing games like Cranium Hoopla (I think that was it) and eating a turkey dinner. We also enjoyed some football and we where also able to go to the Petrified Forest where I gave a privet tour. Anyhow it was a great weekend and thanks to everyone that helped make it a great one!!!

Flagstaffs Blizzard Conditions

So Flagstaff is calling today "blizzard Conditions" they have not declared blizzard conditions since the 60's or so Trey says! It has not stopped dumping since we woke up and we are supposed to get another 7-11 inches tomorrow. It is gorgeous out though. I don't have work tonight cuz of the weather and Treys final may be delayed. This calls for a cup of hot chocolate a blanket and movies!!!

Spur is loving it though! He sure looked clean before the snow came but when he is next to the white snow he looks so dirty.:)

Turkey Day!

Trey and I had a fabulous thanksgiving time..... We went horseback riding, killed our own turkey, spent time with the fam eating a lot! The pictures are out of order but I am sure you will be able to tell the oder:)

This chick just hatched out of the shell.. So cute

Canyoneering

Saturday trey led a trip in canyoneering (repelling) in slot canyons and I had the opportunity to go. The canyon was close to page and it was awesome we repelled down 4x. Sorry no pictures. On the way home a cop driving next to us fell asleep and ran into us. Luckily nobody was hurt but we should have asked for his license and registration:)

Fall in Flagstaff

We went up to Lockett Meadow a little late this year, so the leaves have started falling. But here is gorgeous flag!!

Home

Home Sweet Home in the Pines

This is what Spur thinks about some of the trailers here. If you are going to buy a 40ft trailer that has 2 flat screen tv's inside and one flat screen hooked to the outside then you should just not be camping. There should be a book that explains the definition of camping because that is not it!

My handsome boys

It has been beautiful up here the past week, we are so fortunate to live here! Trey is leading a backpacking trip in the Centennial Forest this weekend for a freshman class.
Last weekend we went to Jerome for this VW festival. It was awesome if you like camping in an old mine with 500 VW and a whole bunch of hippies. It was an experience:)

Oregon and Washington

We went to Oregon labor day weekend for Braunsteins wedding. We left thursday and got the chance to drive to Seaside Oregon on the coast and then up to washington (olympia, tacoma, seattle) thanks to the help of Brinton telling us where to go! After the wedding we went to the Gorge along the Columbia river with my friend Dani and Andy. It was also fun to hang out with Strider and Jana for a bit too! We picked peaches, saw the first ever starbucks in seattle, it was fun!
