Memorial Day Weekend

Blake, Celeste, Larkie, Jordan, and Seth

Blake and Jordan

Seth

Seth, Larkie, and Jordan came down for the weekend to hang out with us. We went to the park and then we decided to go off roading. We went to the Cinder Pitts and everyone got to drive. Jordan had the best time though being thrown around in her car seat; she is such a trooper.

We drove up the south butte and into the middle of it. We found an abandoned zip-line. Blake had the great idea of hooking up his towline onto the hook, the other rope and board attached looked pretty old. The zip line was super fun.

On Monday we went and looked at the graves of Blake's relatives. We went to Idaho Falls and had a picnick by the falls. We had an AWESOME time with Seth, Larkie, and Jordan. You are always welcomed back here and anyone else who wants to visit!

"Yo ho, yo ho, a sunny life for me"

I have been terrible at posting this summer so far. I haven't been taking as many pictures as I would like too. Blake and I have been super busy with school and work. Here are some pictures from our first campout of the year.

This is in the Big Hole Mountains (early May) and there was still a lot of snow on the ground. Tyson helped us realize how much snow there was when he got stuck and we pulled him out. We camped on the edge of the forest. The best part of the trip was that I slept like an angel! No one else did though. You have to love warm Nalgene bottles.

In da hood

Hey everyone! I hope all is going well! Blake and I are back into the swing of school (we are almost done with our third week of Spring semester). We are keeping plenty busy. I am working at Beehive Federal Credit Union starting at an early 5:30 cleaning. I work with the sweetest girl. I am taking my last two classes: Plant Systematics, World Religion, and trying to get my Online Endorsement. Blake is taking Thermodynamics, Physics, Welding, Racquetball, and World Religion...way too much fun.

Rexburg decided to have a very late spring this year...even later than last year. Today the wind has been blowing over 40 mph...so exciting. I am waiting for our apartment to blow over.

Please check out all of my DC posts, there are a lot of them but I spent hours uploading and writing lame comments about the pictures...Thxs!

Dc Trip - Saturday

We had an amazing time in DC! This is at the Denver airport. Kirk and Shelly were the best hosts and we had a fun time getting to know them better. We love their adorable kids Paige and Dillon! We can't wait to go back again!

P.S. Don't you love this picture?

Concord...super fast

Dc Trip - Thursday

We decided to hit all of the monumnets because it was a gorgeous, sunny day.

This is the Washongton Monument and a very attractive photo of me. LOL

Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Right in front of the Abrahman Lincoln Memorial
Korean War Memorial The Wall - I love how their faces are sketched into it and you can see the Memorial in the stone.

Potomac River

Blake eating wheat thins.

My Hottie.

Tulip Library...no really that's what it is called.

Smithsonian Castle

Hishorn Modern Art Museum. The building is a circle- some really interesting and depressing art.

Dc Trip - Wednesday

Wednesday morning we went right to the American History Smithsonian.

I got to wind surf... I was pretty good what can I say?

No Blake was the pro though! He's a natural...
All I need now is a dog, that's what I keep telling Blake.
Who doesn't love Sesame Street?

My dear Mr. Lincoln's hat

How big is your hand compared to President Lincoln's? Blake's was about the same size...LOL

President Lincoln's gun (probably one of many)... we like guns. Every American Family should own a gun.

The Germany wall

"I think you should dump that guy."

"This market is really beginning to pick up."

We found the cutest spot to take some more pictures. Kissing is always fun.

Oh la la.

We had a tour of the Supreme Court Building. I loved this tour it was great! Here is a picture of the whorly, twirly staircase.

John Marshall - Supreme Court Justice(Good cafeteria in this building just in case you wanted to know)

Outside the Supreme Court Building

Blake and the Supreme Court Building We decided to go to the Library of Congress, this was one of my favorite buildings! It is so beautifully ornate and I wish I lived there so I could get a library card and do some research. Blake and I snuck into a tour group to see the main entrance hall... I loved it!

Library of Congress Ceiling

We went to my cousin's apartment literally right across from the National Gallery of Art right downtown. We got to hang out with Matt and Corie; it was so good to see them both! We would have taken some better pictures but we had to hurry to catch the bus. :)

We love you Corie and Matt Hawkes!
