Lately

A few weeks ago our computer gave us the blue screen of death!! It was a sad, terrible day. Since then I have had to go to the library to update the blog, but obviously I have not gone a lot because I have not been updating. So here it is! The past few weeks we have been same old, same old. We have been hanging out with friends, working, exercising and being together. A few weekends ago we met up with some friends and went to hurricane harbor and six flags in Dallas. While there we stayed with Monica and Jake Evans! They live in such a cute neighborhood and have such a cute house! Then Aunt Lynette and the gang came over and we played games. It was really good to see them. They introduced us to a new game called "Wits and Wagers" which is now on my Christmas list! We can't wait to go back and see them again!

Mitchell took this picture! He accidentally "cut off" his own head! 

Next, the ladies in my ward at church introduced me to a new game called pickleball. Have you heard of it? I hadn't until I came here to Texas! It is a really fun game with a cross between tennis and ping pong. I know that sounds weird, but it is sooo much fun! I didn't realize how fun it would be and the ladies in the ward play once to twice a week! It is a big thing here to do! 

Last weekend we were suppose to go to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon, but due to bad weather and rain we decided not to go. It made me sooo sad not to go. I had been planning that trip since February when I made the reservations for it. So instead we drove up to Colorado to climb the 14ner Humboldt and go camping and fishing by the lakes. It was a great camping trip and I am really glad we went. We didn't get to climb the 14ner which I am not to happy about, but that's a long story. I'll just say that we hiked 12 miles and got caught in rain and couldn't finish because of rain and lightning, but would have if several guidebooks and internet posts had the right mileage!!! Anyways, it was still a fun time!

Mt. Crestone Needle behind us. It is another 14ner in Colorado, but a very difficult climb. 

Finally made it to the Lakes!! 

Colby doing what he loves to do! And then...the rain came :( 

Hiking back another 6 miles in the rain. Colby wanted to be a unicorn bahahaha and my dad  a bull elk!

None of us knew this picture was being taken as you can tell..except my lil brother spence who doesn't look to happy. My dad was showing us where to find the herd of Big Horn sheep up on the mountain. 

Found the Big Horn Sheep, but then Colby got in the way with the camera! 

Colby caught several fish in the creek that followed along the hiking path we were taking. 

Beautiful wildflowers everywhere! 

We bought a double hammock and its awesome! 

Colby being his usual hilarious self!

I even caught one fish..finally! 

That's it for now!! Ta Ta for now now! We wish we could have enjoyed all the family reunions this year! There were 3 reunions and a backpacking trip that we both really wanted to go on!
