Carrie's wedding...... also jeff's little sister)

good catch

Good catch! I know we could eat for weeks off this one. This is my favorite look of jeff's, the long hair with the handlebar mustache. I am sorry to say that this look no longer exists since jeff has recently had his yearly haircut....the tennis ball look.

summer outings

This is lake estell, we had to go over 67 fallen pine trees and follow the bear prints in the dark to get there. It was worth it...we have other better pictures, but at least this has us in it.
4th of july celebration hike. We watched the fireworks from here.
This is how sweaty I was after carrying my pack up this mountainous trail.

I love this guy!

Since I didn't actually get to talk to my dad on fathers day, I hope that he will view this post dedicated purely to him! This is the only picture I have of my dad on the computer, but it will do.

Top 5 reason I love this guy!

1. He always plans a family hike or outdoor event when we come to visit...and he never makes anyone come if they don't want to (only the family will get that).

2. The infamous expression..... "Good Heck Krystyn"

3. His concern for his children, and whether or not they have a reliable vehicle.

4. How he can make any type of work into something enjoyable, and even if you help him a little, his sincerity and gratitude makes you feel like you made a big difference.

5. How you can get him any random gift and he'll wear it around the house for hours admiring his new toy.

and one more...how he is always scheming a new plan, change, or venture to involve himself and the family with.

Dad you are the best! Thanks for being my dad!

love you!

What a professional!

So I often share stories of my interesting co-workers. Although I have come to enjoy them, this picture says it all! Sorry for the crude content and sideways orientation.
This is on our expedition up the face of Ben Lomond Peak. Jeff, my Dad, Butch (Rachel's hubbie)

Since one of us is skiing and the other is driving, we have yet to figure out how to take a picture of us water skiing here. However, this is a bruise jensen received after a cold trip out to the lake. This means you are a hard core skier if your spray gives you a bruise....note that there is not one of my leg.

Technical Difficulties

so I haven't forgotten to keep up with this thing, however I am experiencing technical difficulties with posting pictures. My "New post" setting just quit giving me the image option. Maybe next time.

In the mean time, we have just visited Utah to pick up our new boat. The first time out we were flagged down by a cop to search the waters for a drowned kayaker. The next time around we actually went water skiing. Now we remember why we bought it! It was so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up!
