I am a serious slacker...

So my cute sister -i-l, Sara, and her cute lil family were in town visiting. It was so much fun, we got to go out to the lake with them, where we were pretty much the only family out there - it was so nice...smooth waters! :) We also got to work on a fun project, which of course took longer than we had anticipated...they always do! HAHA! We also got to see "the girls" (Klara and Cozette) swim! They were totally loving it and would jump off of the sides to Rhett or Sara! Seriously...so cute! We squoze in a Yummy BBQ too! However, this is where my slacker side of me came in....I apparently did not get a single picture! Gosh I am the worst! :( I wish I could share some new pics of these girls...they have grown up so much and are super doll faces! Cute story - so we were there hanging out and Sara was feeding the girls, but only got one drink cup out for them. Here I am thinking like uhh you forgot one...oh no they don't want two separate cups. They WANT to SHARE. You heard me. Two little girls that want to share. AHAH I love it! It was seriously so cute to witness because Klara would have it and then all of the sudden she took a drink and takes it and passes it over to Cozette. Then back and forth whenever they felt like the other one needed. No biggy. It was so stinkin cute.
Sure wish they lived closer and were able to stay longer! We love our little Frei Fam!! xoxo

Honeycomb Rocks - Enterprise

Kyle and I decided to go up outside Enterprise (hour away is all) and go camping for the night and hang out for the day on Saturday. I had to be back to teach on Sunday - so it was going to be a quick camping trip. I hadn't ever been to Honeycomb Rocks before, but I loved it! The rocks were awesome. We got there right when it was getting dark on Friday night, so I didn't get any pictures then. I wish I would have been able to caputre all of the awesome lighting surrounding us that reflected the entire reservoir! It was pretty neat. I however fell asleep rather early...my allergies definately got a hold of me and apparently my allergy pills were "drowsy" to the extreme! :( I was lame to say the least and quite uncoherent! HA

Woke up to the reservoir completely engulfed in fog...this was after it "cleared up" it looked so cool!

My cute Hubbster - Ky

I was kind of a slacker on the picture taking apparently. I didn't get any of Kruz - holy cow I must have really been knocked out! HA Anyways, we had a great time up there. Hopefully we'll make it back up there again. Oh and if you ever go through VEYO - definately stop and get a PIE!! You will not be disappointed!

TV shows

Ok so I am kind of excited about a few shows here that are back on or are going to be on the tube this fall. Parenthood is back on and I am so excited...I really enjoy watching this show. One big real family.

Another one that I love that is going to be back on is Modern Family...I think it is hilarious! Seriously.

One that always catches me on its previews since it is new is Whitney. I am hoping it is as funny as it is portrayed to be. If so, then I think we're all in for a funny treat.

You know where I will be for some time on Tuesday, Wednesday, and maybe Thursday.

I can't bleieve it has been ten years since all of this took place. I remember the day quite clearly. Watched it on the news while eating breakfast, pretty unbelievable. How could that be happening? We had to head out to school, pretty chaotic there too. Everyone was pretty shook up about it. We had a lot of students who had parents in the Air Force, since the base was so close, and also quite a few who were getting ready to enlist come graduation. I remember having a volleyball game that night, it was away at another school, but it was pretty neat to have such a union with everyone at it. We never had a prayer before a game with both teams and everyone in attendance before, but that night we did. It was pretty cool to see lots of people of all different faiths turn to Heavenly Father for that help and comfort that he can always provide. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes tragedies for people to turn to him, but atleast it is a step in the right direction.
I personally didn't know anyone there in the towers, but watching all the documentaries and tributes on the History Channel sure were hard to watch and made you feel connected in some way -we are all American.
God Bless America - we truly are blessed to live in this free country!

Me and Ty - I just love him so much

Ginny and me and Papa

There is now such an open view from the house now that one of the trees is gone - it is so pretty looking down at the Snake River. So many great memories down there!

I can't even begin to express how fun it was to go home over Labor Day weekend!! So nice and relaxing and great to catch up with everyone and get to see some friends while I was there too...it would have made it so much better had my honey hubby been able to come too :(  The only thing I hate is saying goodbye...Miss you all so much until I get to see you again!! xoxo

Let's Celebrate

After our lovely morning at church, I couldn't help but have to stop and take a quick shot of the Sunflowers! The roads there are swarmed with the beautiful flowers - something about them just makes me smile!

Ride with Papa

Poll Creek Ranger Station/ Slide Creek

It worked out to where Tyler, Steve, Carli, and I could go on Papa's ride up to the Jarbidge Mtns while we were home to visit. I love this ride so much! If only we could have had more time and spent the whole weekend there - that would have been real nice. It was a beautiful day - weather was seriously perfect!

A little sad for me not be able to ride my Maggie on the ride though, she is a little hurt right now - but Freckles and I definately enjoyed our time together too!

And we're off to follow the leader - Papa

Ahh...this year in 06 when we came through my dad was  nice enough to carve my name in the tree for me since that happened to be the time we had a little "accident" where I got kicked. Anyways, it was good to see the trees ares still there, especially since they had the big fire up there 2 years ago.

Papa and his cowgirls

Me and Ty

Papa broke Steve in on the ride - Steve loved it!

Birdie of course enjoyed herself...however when we got home I think she slept the rest of the weekend. She was a little tuckered out to say the least.

One of the many beautiful views on the ride. This is the most dry I have ever seen it here - from the fires, the dry heat there all year, and I haven't ever gone in September before. It is just so peaceful all around.

Steve and his wrangler butt!

Papa - once again thank you for the awesome day! It was perfect and much needed - it is always so great to hear all the wonderful stories you have to share, get to spend some quality time with you, feel separate from the rest of the world, and be your little cowgirl once again! Love you Papa!

We of course couldn't go to Slide Creek and not stop back by and eat at Jackson's in Buhl - oh how Carli and I LOVE this place!!

Hello Schaats!

Lucky me, I Finally got to meet Sharis and Travis' sweet lil Bentley! Oh my!! I just love her to pieces - she is the cutest lil girl ever! They were able to come up to my mom's house and visit for a while when I got into Boise - it was so great to catch up with them since it has been like a year and a half since I have seen them. UGh...I know - I am the worst friend EVER! :( Just know I think of my Shcatt Family often ;) I wish I lived in Boise...guess it will stay on my wish list for now.

So I could totally make Bentley laugh...I am seriously SO slow at capturing the picture of it though. Lame. She has the sweetest smile and the best little kisses! Yes, she melts my heart.

So my mom has these ginormous life size bears, ya know for when me and my sisters will one day have children. Ha AH - so Bentley got to enjoy playing with it! She was loving it!

Oh and she has a new bff, Miss Precious. :) She loved watching Precious play with her ball, but mostly liked her when her daddy would help her ride on Precious! AHAH

Sharis and Bentley!

Me and The Schatt Family!

Gosh I am so glad I got to catch up with Travis and Sharis and meet lil miss Bentley! She is perfect and I just love love love her! I will take her anytime ;0) Sharis has been one of my good friends since college and one I am so glad that I met her and have been able to keep in touch with her! I love ya Sharis!! Thanks for being such a wonderful person and a great friend to me - you truly are such a great example to me! LOVE YOU GUYS!
