Teton Creek

On Memorial Day, Blake, Christine, Apollo, and I drove to Teton Creek. On our way there, we met some people who got their car stuck in the snow. Luckily we had a shovel to help dig them out. You might ask, "There is still snow?" And my reply to you is YES! There is still a ton of snow in the mountains. Most of the time we hiked we were on snow. Christine and I wore snow shoes for the first time on a part of the trail.

Blake climbed up this rock and saw a big, red fox about 10 feet away from him. Christine and I didn't see it...dang it.

On our way back, as were were taking a picture, we saw as Moose just right off the trail. This trip was the first hiking trip for Apollo. He did alright, but on the way back he kept stopping because his little feet were cold and he was shaking. He had to carry him a part of the way back...LOL

It was a beautiful day in the Tetons and we can't wait to do lots more hiking this summer.

Afterwards, we made a camp fire at Eagle Park and roasted hot dogs with Fielding and his new girlfriend. Of course we had smores.

Grandma Weimer's 81st Birthday!

On Memorial Day all the Weimer girls got together at Gringo's. We had an awesome time (you can tell by Shelly's face). Happy Birthday Grandma!

School's out for Summer!

Hello Everyone! School ended last week for the Jr. High. I have a week and a half before I work summer school with the 7th graders. Blake is in school for the Spring semester.

Apollo's 1st Birthday!

It was Apollo's Birthday on May 29th. He is 1 Year old!

I haven't written anything about Apollo but we got him in December in Arizona. The owners sold him because they thought he wouldn't make a good show dog because he is not aggressive. He didn't bark for the first four months that we had him. He use to shake in the corner and not want anyone to touch him. He is a lot more friendly now.

Blake and I love our mini-Schnauzer...actually we are not sure he is because we took him to PetsMart last week and they say he doesn't look like one but he is some kind of terrier.
He is my buddy and he keeps me company when Blake is doing homework and out of the house.

Apollo's favorite activities:

Running - He loves to run at the park. He only has one speed = fast
Playing with other dogs
Sleeping - It's a dog's life
Eating - (who doesn't?)
Sleeping on our bed after we have gone to sleep
Chewing on stuff
Being super cute

Yes, we are still Alive

Hi everyone! I don't know if you have even noticed but I haven't written in my blog since Memorial Day of last year...yikes. I just kind of stopped writing because I didn't put any time aside to update my blog. Since my last blog update here is a BRIEF outline of what I have been up to:

Summer 2009
Took my last BYU-I classes on campus. I "walked" in July and my family came up here. WE went canoeing in Island Park, Ice Caving, camping at Yellowstone Park...
Blake and I went to central Idaho and camped at Red Fish Lake; boating and cliff jumping
Blake, Lorraine, Daris, and I went to Portland, Oregon. We went camping by Astoria (Goonies Land) were we went fishing on the Columbia and the ocean were I caught my first salmons! I am officially hooked on this sport (haha)
We went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and stayed in a cabin at Togowatee by the Tetons and went four-wheeling.
Fielding and Christine both came up to school in Rexburg during Fall semester and we had them over for dinner and playing. We did lot of fun stuff together: Blackfoot fair (milked goats), off roading, parties...
I student taught in Dubois, Idaho! It was a 50 minute commute to the middle of nowhere. It was a very stressful but good experience. I taught 6th grade science, 7th grade Life Science, 10th grade Biology, and 11th grade Environmental. There is so much that happened this semester!!!
October: Went to Florida with the Weimer family for a week to Disney World (Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot! Amazing vacation! Blake and I also went to Universal Studios.
Thanksgiving: Brandon, Amber and Shawn, Candice and their cute girls came down. We went swimming, sledding, and had Rock Band Fun!
Had my 23rd Birthday! Made Gingerbread Houses
I got offered a job to work at the Jr. High in Rexburg. I am a Para-Professional (Resource Aid) for kids with IEPs. I like my job.
Blake works at the Middle School for the after school program called Lego Robotics. He has a team and they have a challenge to make a lego robot that has to go through this obstacle and they have a big competition against other schools. They did good for their first year!
Fielding, Blake and I got Season Passes to Grand Targhee and we go Snowboarding/Skiing almost every week.
Christmas Vacation: Fielding, Christine, Blake and I drive to Orem and hand out with Seth, Larkie and Jordan. Drive down to Las Vegas, pick up Spencer form the airport, walk around downtown, spend time the the Christiansons as their mission home, play some mad ping-pong. Drive to LA and spend the night for a few days at Larkie's brother's house. We went to Six Flags, and then the next day we went to Santa Monica Pier. Drive home. Christmas was amazing! Played lots of games in the warm sun.
Saw two of my best friends Sara and Katie twice during the trip!
Got a new dog after Christmas, a black mini schnauzer, from Tonopah (an 1 hour 15 min. away)
Drove home to Idaho.
Celebrated Blake's 25 Birthday!!
Went skiing at Sun Valley Idaho.
Went snowmobiling to Red Butt in the Big Hole Mountains with Daris and Lorraine
