This last weekend we had such a great time. We headed to Star Valley to visit the fam. Passing through Preston we decided to stop and say hi to the Despains. We thought it would be fun to have the cutest girls come tag along with us for the weekend. We had so much fun! My pour mother in-law spent the whole Saturday keeping us happy. She is so great! Ty also got a lot done. Saturday morning he went duck hunting and shot 5 ducks. While we were in the house all day doing crafts, Ty was outside making these spiders for holloween that I have been wanting for a while now. His dad made one for his mom last year and ever since then I have wanted one. I didn't even have to ask. He is such a great guy! We sure had a great weekend.

Hunting Weekend!

2009-10-08T19:17:00.000-07:00

Dang my husband is good lookin!

While they were pulling the elk down the mountain, they stumbled across moose sheds. They were together as a pair. That doesnt happen very often. That is what is on top of the elk just in case you were wondering.

While I was in Iowa this last weekend visiting the hansen's, Ty decided to go up to Star Valley and go with his brother to get his elk. They shot their elk but not realizing it until it was to late, the area that they shot it was some pretty steep country. They new that I was going to be a chore to get that elk out. They ended up having to go back the next morning to get it out because they wouldn't of been able to before dark. This time they brought help along. What they had to is hike down there and completely cut the meat off the bones and put it in sacks and pack it out in there back packs. Ty's pack I believe was 56 pounds, Darnell's was 64 and there friend Ryan's was 69. They sure had a lot of meat on there backs. I'm glad that my husband had such a great time. He always has a good time when he gets to hang out with his older brother. I'm excited to be able to have some of that meat cause we sure like elk in our house.

Grand Canyon Trip!

2009-09-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

A couple weekends ago we went on our summer vacation. Some might not think this is much of a vacation, hiking your guts out for 2 days and sweating like pigs. But we loved it! About five years ago I lived here on the North end of the Grand Canyon being a waitress to all the tourists. It was probably the best thing I could of done in my single life. While I was there I hiked the 25 mile trail from the north rim to the south rim in one day and ever since then I have wanted to do it again. My Husband was all for it! I have no clue how the heck I did it in one day. We did it camping in the bottom for a night and we stilled died! I must be fat and old. This pictue is taken the morning right before we started down the canyon. Oh man if only we new what we were getting ourselves into! Just kidding it was well worth it. We had a great time!

These trees were every where down in the canyon. Ty thought that they were just awesome! He called them the banana trees. They look like they had bananas growing at the bottom of them. Every time he saw one he would say.. Hey guys look a banana tree! I probably heard that saying about a million times by the time the hike was over. It got real old real fast.

This was Ribbon Falls. Its was this waterfall that fell down right on the edge of this huge rock. It doesnt look like there is much water falling from it, but when you get to the top and are standing under it, it hits you pretty hard. This was probably the high light of the hike. We drenched and got to cool off.

This is our friends Adam and Alisha that went with us. Ty and Adam have been friends since they have been about 3 years old. They even share the same Birthday. We had such a good time with them. We couldn't of ask for a better couple to do this with. Thanks GuysThis was the night before the hike. We camped out in the woods so that we didn't have to pay to stay in a hotel. I took everyone out to a place that we used to go to when I lived here. It's called Buck Point. Its awesome for watching to sunset. It over looks so much land covered in trees. It was so pretty.

First time boating of the season!

2009-08-16T20:27:00.000-07:00

This is Kynzie's dad on the air chair. He was so fun to watch cause he was so good. He would just ride it like it was nothing. He even did a back flip on it. It was Awesome!

Ty was having to much fun. He could of been there all night and been happy.

Well this me trying to attempt to get up, for some stickin reason I couldn't. Kinda frustrating.

My friend Kynzie and her family let Ty and I go along with them boating on friday night. We were pretty excited sense we hadn't been once this whole summer. She has a super cool family that were really nice to let us come a long. Ty got to try the air chair. He said that he had always wanted to see and try one. Well this was his moment. He said it was harder than he thought but he got up on it his first try.

Rodeo night Fun!

2009-08-16T19:47:00.000-07:00

This was kinda funny. After the wild cow milking, there was this one cow that no matter what, they couldn't get it out of the arena. This was pretty funny, the cow laid down and wouldn't move, the guys were trying get it up and to roll over,but it wouldn't budge.

I was proud of myself for taking this picture. I thought it was a pretty cool one.

What a cute Boy!

Ty actually did this event. They tied a ribbon on a bull's horns and who ever could get it off won 300 bones. We were hoping that we would get it but we didn't. Better luck next time.

Happy Birthday Dru! We went out to the depains for Dru's Birthday. Betsy made a sweet volcano cake. She is such a good mom! Mom and Dad came out and we went to the Preston Bull Fananza. Ty sure enjoyed it because thats the only reason why he likes to go to rodeo's is to see the bull riding. We sure had a fun night.

A NIGHT ON THE TOWN!

2009-07-26T14:32:00.000-07:00

Ty got his 72 Chevelle out Friday night to go for a spin. His brother that has a 71 decided to come along with his family. We went up to afton to the red baron to get some grub.

I love riding in his car, we have a lot of fun! Can't wait till someday we can afford to put more money into it.

It's finally here!

2009-07-26T14:21:00.000-07:00

How handsome are they? I'm diggin the one on the left. Adams mom bought suits for them instead of getting tuxes. We were pretty excited sense Ty is still wearing his suits from his mission.

Ty's best friend got married this weekend in the Idaho Falls Temple. It's about time! We are so excited for them to be married cause they are the funnest couple. And they will only be living in roy down the street from where we first lived when we were married. Hopefully we will be seeing a lot of them. We had a great day! And we are sure glad that we got to spend it with them.

Happy Birthday Brooke!

2009-07-22T18:21:00.000-07:00

The crew!

I make that look good!

We had a birthday party on Monday night for our friend Brooke. We had yummy food and delicious homemade ice cream. It was our first time making it and it turned out great! Thanks for having a birthday Brooke! We love having all you guys over. Great times!

Star Valley

2009-07-22T17:52:00.000-07:00

Friday night when we got up there we had dutch oven chicken and potatos. Yum Yum! Then we went out to try to catch some fish. I didn't have much luck. I thought I did but it ended up being a rock! Dang. It was pretty funny cause I was freaking out rubbing it in Ty's face.

This is a flour that Ty found on the way up the mountain, it was growing out of the snow that was still up there. It was the only one in the whole area. Crazy!

Isn't that so pretty?

We thought we would make it a little easier on the way down. Plus were pretty hot! It felt good.

We went to Star Valley last weekend and went camping. Ty's sister was here from Virgina so we went up to see her. Saturday morning we woke up and had a yummy breakfast. Ty and Darnell were planning on hiking up Prater Mountain which is the highest peak in the valley. Ty's dad also went, but wasn't going to go the whole way. When we left I thought I would just stay and wait at the bottom with him cause I wasn't really feelin it! Hiking is fun but not that fun. Well we got to where his dad stopped and I just decided to go for it. I figured I would probably not have the opportunity to do it again. Well it was just like I thought, it was the probably the hardest hike I have ever been on. But when we got to the top it was well worth it. It was beautiful!!

Camping Weekend!

2009-07-12T20:22:00.000-07:00

Well I thought sense the rest of our summer weekends were going to be filled up with things that are going on, I really wanted to go camping again just in case we didn't get to. We thought we would bring some squirts along with us. We drove up Logan canyon towards Tony Grove and found an awesome camp spot. We had a awesome weekend full of fun!

Here we are on our way up the canyon we were pretty excited can't you tell?

Dru and Kerri got really good at shooting the sling shot! They practiced all weekend.

Our friends came up that night to have some smores and sit around the camp fire. We love having them around.

The next morning we went on a hike. It was a lot longer of a hike than we thought it would be. The hike all together was 8 miles. The girls did great! And how cute is that? Ty is going to be the best dad some day!

Took a little brake for a bit to rub some feet that were hurting!

This is our destination, White Pine Lake. We had lunch, fished a little and the girls got a little muddy. But we had fun and was relaxing.

Ty got his fishing line stuck in the tree and wasn't about to lose a new spinner, so he climbed up this crapy tree and got it down. He found Two other bobbers while he was at it!

We are leaving for our way home. Dru thought she would wave and say good bye to our caming spot. Thanks Despain girls for coming camping with us for the weekend we had a blast with you!

The 4th of July!

2009-07-05T16:01:00.000-07:00

Friday night we all got together in Preston. Joe and Megan were here from Denver to visit. It was really good to see them. Megan is prego and I can't wait for them to have there babe. We love getting together with the family.

That morning while everyone was sleeping Betsy and I got up really early and ran the 5k and 10k in Lewiston. I have been running a lot for the last month, thinking that I would like to run the top of Utah Marathon here in Logan in September. But I don't know what I think now. I am for sure not a runner. There was a big hill in that 10k and it about killed me. I guess we will see I still have a lot of time to prepare for it. This is us being dumb and stretching for our big run!

Our friends baby, that I might say is so dang cute!, fell asleep on my legs when I was sitting on the curb of the street. I think we were getting more attention from people, then the cars that were in the parade were. We even had an old lady come over and take a picture of her. It was Hilarious!

The night of the 4th we met up with our friends and went to the cruise in on main st in logan. People come from all over to show off there cars. I would have to say that it was probably the best parade that I have ever been to. We had a great time!

After the parade we went over to Bre and Clarke's house for so yummy food and a firework show. It was pretty much amazing! We had a pretty great 4th of July!

Fun night at the Preston derby!!

2009-06-21T18:59:00.000-07:00

This was so Awesome! I have never seen this happen at a derby before. This green car was just awesome he was just killing everyone. He got going full speed and hit this other car and rolled it! The green car was stuck on top of him so they both had to pull there flags. It was well worth watching in the cold.

This is Kyle and his girl Courtney. They were way fun to have there with us.

Me and my sis. I don't think we look anything a like. What do you think?

So Ty called me at work on friday and asked if I wanted to go to the derby on Saturday night. I said heck yes I do! Well he went on to say that I had to go pick up the tickets cause he won them off the radio. We were pretty excited, we never win anything! It was a great night mostly cause It was free!

2009-04-05T18:54:00.001-07:00

So don't get used to this cause we lost our camera that is the reason why it has taken so to update the blog. I borrowed Ty's cousins camera so that I could take pictures of ty's hair. Sorry it took so long. Enjoy!

The best day of the WEEK!

2009-04-05T18:37:00.000-07:00

BEFORE

AFTER

So I have been telling Ty for a while now that it is time to cut his hair. It was just getting a little out of control. He kept telling me, no Whit I'm not ready yet. So I just stopped mentioning it to him. Well out of know where on saturday he asked me if i would cut it for him. I didnt think he was serious. Oh but he was, and dang does he look good! Can you flippen believe how much hair this kid had on his head? Maybe now he will get the weight that he wants to be when we go donate plasma:)

Updated Pics!

2009-04-05T17:53:00.000-07:00

Tyrell's friends wife Alex Perry is starting up her photography business and wanted to take some pictures of us. We thought that would be a good idea to havc some new updated pics sense we haven't had any for a long time. She did a dang good job. Some people just have a good eye for photography. And I'm not one of them:) Thanks Alex for a fun day and letting us be your guinea pig! Here is her photography blog for all you that you that want to get on and check it out. She is very good.

Granite Hot Springs

2009-04-05T17:42:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we went to Star Valley to go snow mobiling. We went up to Granite Hot Springs and went swimming. We had a good time with all the cousins. I would have to say that it was probably the best sledding trip I have ever been on. It was a long day of fun in the sun!

Internet Finally!!

2009-02-18T18:26:00.000-08:00

So I know a lot of you have wondered and mentioned to me a million times that I need to update my blog. And I am sorry! Life has been so crazy lately!Even my husband complains that I'm never home to make him dinner anymore. Pitty Him!! But the real reason is because we haven't had the internet at our house. But we have it now!! And I love it! I can sit down on the couch now and relax on the computer. Maybe even update my blog. Well soon as we find our camera, which I hope is soon I will put pictures on. Thanks for being patient!

Sunday fun at the Despains!!

2008-11-26T10:31:00.000-08:00

K thats just funny!

Ty and Kaleb wrestling on the floor like they normally do!

Meg and Joe playing hot potatoe with the kids.

We are all pretty good at being dorks and making funny faces. Its great entertainment!

Dru is being making dorky faces like always!

Last sunday Joe and Meg came up to see us. We all went out to the despains house for some dinner and fun. We ended up having a great time, playing games and hangin out! It's to bad that Joe and Meg are moving far away from us cause it would be fun to have them up again. Thanks guys for coming and seeing us!

Yummy Dinner!

2008-11-25T08:52:00.000-08:00

The other night I had been gone all day. Tyrell decided that he wanted to make dinner. He texted me and asked me if I was very hungry. I replied saying that I could eat just to satisfy myself meaning that I wasn't very hungry but I could eat a little. Well I came home and this is what he had on the grill outside. It was really good but we probably could of just shared one. I was just thankful that my husband was wanting to make dinner.

Bread making time!

2008-11-25T08:42:00.000-08:00

So a couple weeks ago I was down at my Mom and Dad's house visiting and my mother who is a wonderful cook taught me how to make bread. Well in our house hold we like bread and we eat a lot of it. So that bread didnt last very long. So I decided to attempt to make it all by myself and this is how it turned out!! I was pretty proud of myself, it turned out better than I thought it would. So now I consider myself pretty much a professional!!

Holloween Time!!

2008-11-03T17:18:00.000-08:00

So this year was the same as every year. I am a slacker until the last minute on getting a costume. Except this time its worse because I have a husband that is even more of a slacker! I kept saying Ty what are we going to be for holloween and I got the same response everytime.. I dont know you figure it out. How about nothing. Every year that I dont dress up I regret it so bad. Well we got invited to like 3 parties and ended up not going to any of them because I thought we would feel dumb not having a costume. So Tyrell and I went to Pizza Hut to get a Pazone, which was a joke because we ended up waiting there for like 35 min. Well we went home and were just going to spend the night hanging out with each other kinda lame I know, until I started to dress up and put layers of my clothing on like I used to in High School. Then I got Ty to join in the fun. We got a little crazy!! We ended up going out to Betsy and Trav's house and suprising them. I got Betsy to join in the fun!! It ended up being a great holloween thanks to the Despain family.

2008-11-03T17:14:00.000-08:00

Tyrell and I went up on the mountains of Logan to get some pictures with the leaves before they got all ugly. They still dont look the greatest but I guess they will do. I'm happy with the way Ty looks but not to happy with the way I look. I hate getting pictures done!

2008-11-03T16:39:00.000-08:00

So this is a little late getting on the blog. Our internet isn't the best so most the time it wont let me upload the images. Anyway so I am finally getting to it. This is from a few weeks ago but Tyrell has had to go the games with out me because I have been working on saturdays. Buy thank goodness not anymore. This game Utah State played BYU. I had t0 work that night but got done a lot earlier than I thought, so I was able to show up at half time. It actually turned out to be a really good game. Soon as I got there Utah State was playing a totally different game. They actually held up there own real well. I like to say that the reason they started to play good was because I arrived at the game!

Post for Darnell

2008-09-17T15:57:00.004-07:00

This Post is for Darnell. So Amy, it is your responsibility to get Darnell to look at this and show him.

Whoever lived here before us did the bathroom floor with tile. Well this might be alright to all of you that DON'T do flooring. But as I worked with Darnell he made me very particular about how the floor looks when you're sitting on the pot. Every time I sit on the pot I have to look at this floor and it just makes me sick. They did a good job on the first row of tile but this second row they did a terrible job. Look at how far off they were. I don't know what they thought they were doing but they didn't do a very good job.
