2011-07-09T19:53:00.000-07:00

watching the fireworks and remembering that last year we were in Idaho and i was in sweat pant and a sweatshirt. and here in MO it was still 90 degrees.... i love the midwest!!!!
chris and i went up again without libby, there were plenty of volunteers to watch her
finally after the rides and the firework show, she fell asleep at about 11:30, even thought the fireworks went well until after midnight
here is a pic of all three of us, as you can tell the flash was not on. Libby loved the ride and we had all the doors off and she loved the wind in her face!!!
lights over the strip in Branson, while watching the firework from the sky

we love going to the pool, the city pool has toddler time and it is way cheap and way fun for her to swim with the other babies. we go a couple times a week :)
my computer has died on me so i have to start using the MAC and so i don't know who to change the pic to upright. until i figure it out, you will just have tilt you head

She knows when here dad puts on his red shirt, he is going to work so one morning i found her trying to put it on instead. she wore it all morning and did not want to take it off!!!
But mostly she loves driving!!!
She LOVES playing with her dad!!!

We go to this play group and she love to ride in the car. her legs are to short to move herself, so that has become my job

She loves to eat, but you would not know because she still does not weight 20 lbs and she is 16 months old :)

Well after a very long and thoughtful process we decided to take the job in Colorado. We are working for another flight school that does contract work for the FAA. It is a really good job and I like the idea of being in CO. It is about half way from both of our families. We are currently located in Broomfield with a 6 month lease on a condo with possible plans to move again to South of Denver. The company with out growing their hanger and are hoping to move this Summer. So AHHHHH in trying to unpack!!!! we are in a 2 bedroom with the second bedroom not being Liberty's room but another storage. We have a HUGE closet and that is becoming her room :) I will post before and after pics.

Man has our garden grown. most all the the veggies that we planted have managed to spring up. Now we just have to wait and see if any become edible. We had the Missionaries come and help us weed our garden because they were looking for service (I guess that that is one of the perks of your husband the ward mission leader) They did a great job!! there is not a single weed by out tomatoes!! YEAH!!

2009-06-23T07:58:00.000-07:00

On Saturday we went to the air show in Rexberg! it was a pretty cool thing especially since I am married to a pilot. they had some old fighter plane and a P-51 Mustang.

More Camping

2009-06-23T07:46:00.000-07:00

We went to to Wolverine near Blackfoot to go climbing and hiking. It was a fun trip. We first went to Blackfoot days and you know that you live in Idaho with they have a free potato feed and then have snowmobile races on the lake. It started raining so we all decided to just camp in our cars. We bought chocolate milk for in the morning and put in in the river, but the next morning so animal had chewed the lid off and drank most of it!!

Memorial Weekend

2009-05-26T11:49:00.000-07:00

Our Garden

2009-05-26T11:43:00.001-07:00

Chris and I decided to buy a garden spot in the Community Garden this summer. So far it has been a lot of work. Our plot was full of weeds and rocks, but once we cleared that it has been fun a lot of work planting. We haven’t planted all of it but we should have a pretty full garden. We wll just have to wait and see if anything grows.

We were able to talk to each other on Skype. YEAH!!

Jazz Game

2009-04-17T11:10:00.000-07:00

When Chris and I bought our car we were given an Entertainment package and in it was a pair of Jazz tickets. It was a fun night but that morning we had to do out last long run, so we ran 10 miles and the whole game we were debating who had to go down the steps to get us food. We were both really sore!! Yeah, also the Jazz lost...

Birthday

2009-04-06T19:43:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a birthday week for Chris and Aaron. Chris's was on the 2nd and Aarons was on the 4th, So Shaunie and I decided to throw them a birthday party on the 3rd. Then the next day we went to the Titanic Exhibit at the Museum and then out to dinner at Garcia’s where they got free fried ice cream. Then on Monday we had to take them to Red Robin for them to get there free hamburgers and more ice cream. SO I think that it is safe to say that they both enjoyed their birthdays and Shaunie and I expect the same treatment

Trying a new look!!

2009-03-18T07:23:00.000-07:00

So Chris has decided to go for the older looking man look by growing facial hair. What do you think??He has since had to shave it for school, but he is wondering if he should make this a permanent look. We shall have to see. The mustache…. hummm

2009-03-13T06:42:00.001-07:00

A little back tracking from 2008

2009-03-07T17:52:00.001-08:00

So in October we moved to IF. It has been great here to. We miss our friends back in SLC, but since this is where Chris grew up is Idaho we get to hang out with a lot of his high school friends which is great too!! Well moving was of course moving but what had to top it off was that I got really sick, and spent to day in the ER and was sent home with pain killers. The doctor’s did not know what was wrong. It took about a week for me to start feeling better, then off to job hunt. About three weeks later I had the very same pain in my back and was putting off going to the ER for I knew that I would get the same results, but the pain did not back down and we went. After another two days in the ER the last Dr. finally called in a specialist and he coined that I had a kidney infection. That landed me a nice long week in the hospital, mean while I had got a job at Head Start and had to take off my very first week!! So last year was a very exciting year and we were grateful for the challenges and especially for the blessings!! And are excited for this year already!!

Chris stayed with me every night!!!

A little back tracking from 2008

2009-03-07T17:52:00.000-08:00

Chris and Mark decided that they would buy kayaks, lets just say that Sarah and I had a lot of time to spend with each other that summer

It was a very windy and, well just ask Chris how much he enjoyed it

Over the summer we had a lot of fun camping and going on vacation. We were asked to go on an LDS Trek in Martin's Cove and that was AMAZING!! We also were able to go on the Spring Family Reunion in Florida.

Got married in January, and moved to Salt Lake. I graduated from BYU and got a job. We loved it there, until we got our car broken into twice and Chris was offered a job in Idaho Falls. We lived there for about 10 months.

While in SLC, Chris was still finishing up flight school and I was able to go on a lot of flights with him over the very snowy mountains.

Got married in January, and moved to Salt Lake.

still winter

2009-03-07T08:40:00.000-08:00

I decided that i had better enjoy the winter, so we have spent a lot of time outside sledding and skiing. It has not been to bad, but I am ready for Spring to come!!

ONE YEAR

2009-02-24T20:25:00.001-08:00

We decided to rent a snowmobile and take a tour of the Yellowstone. That was my first time in the park. It was really fun, The weather was cold but it was worth it!!

2009-02-24T20:17:00.000-08:00

On our way to Yellowstone, we stopped in Rexburg at the flight museum. It was really cool and Chris really loved it!!
