City Creek

One of my favorite parts of Pocatello.....especially in the Fall is City Creek. It has one of the funnest mountain bike trails EVER! It´s a single track in the trees along the creek. You could ride it day after day and never get sick of it! I love hitting it when the trees are all turning color, before the leaves fall.... it is Gorgeous! Anyways.....my mom, Kaci, Brody, and I went up to just walk around (we didn´t hit the best colors, but it was still great!)I LOVE to moutain bike, but it´s time to BRING ON THE SNOW!!

I Like Fire!

A few weeks ago, dad and I went biking up and around the nordic ski area. He was doing a controlled burn and wanted to check it out, so we biked around the smoldering lines to check them out. This was the first time I've ever been right up next to stuff dad does. It was pretty neat, and I was asking all sorts of questions. Dad said the next day they'd have the helicopter in there to drop flames and do the burning they need to. I was so excited, since it was close to home.... so the next day my mom, Brody, and I all went up to watch them start the fire. It really was pretty cool being able to see the helicopter drop the flames and start different spots on fire. As we were driving up to the look out spot dad was at, Brody saw some of the first flames and said "I Like Fire!" ...definately something dad would say, I remember growing up and always saying "mmm...smells like money!" whenever we'd smell smoke.

While we were there, Brody got to see how totally awesome his dad's job is. He was SOO excited to get out of the car and see dad on a 4-wheeler! Since dad was busy working, Brody just got to sit on it for a minute... and then a quick (10 foot) ride to the car. He was in heaven! I tend to also take joy in the 'little' things going on...so it's fun to be able to be around Brody and have him as an excuss to get all excited over things like helicopters and flames!

Trick or Treat!

First off....I need to apologize for the many pictures of myself, I told Chase that'd I'd just post stuff on here for him to check out....if he was interested in what I've been up to the last little while! ........................................................................... It was fun to be home for Halloween this year and to participate in all the excitement with my little brother and sister.... My parent's ward had a 'trunk or treat' a few weeks before halloween...

...we needed to decorate our trunk, so my mom had me dress up as a witch and hand out candy. I think I scared some of the little kiddos tho... a few of them past by our trunk pretty quick.

Then... I got to help my mom do a party for Kaci's classroom. So we both dressed up to go to that.... I wore my cheetah pants that I think I've worn the past five or six years, we'll see how many more it'll take before I bust the buttons on them! I did add some killer eyelashes this year that I was pretty excited about! Kids are great and make halloween so much fun.... though I have to say, by the end of the night.... the door bell ringing was getting a little old -Courtney's little 'princess' puppy was in heaven, barking and going crazy with every knock and 'ding'! I had to put a picture of Court's halloween costume....her and Jason went to an ISU party as Pebbles and Bam-Bam and it's too funny to not share! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

Missionary Pictures

My cousin is on a mish right now, so we decided to get out all the costumes we've collected through the years and take funny pictures to send to him... we all had a blast, whether the pictures turned out is in the eye of the beholder! :)Grady is such a good sport and was pretty funny playing dress up with us!Brody really had fun making his 'mean faces'.

This one was pretty good of Kac!
