Salmon Trip Pics

So Chris and I went to Salmon this summer and I am just now getting to posting them. Yes I am a slacker- but it took a while to actually download them from the camera.
Enjoy!

We stayed the first night of our trip in Lava Hot Springs. It was really fun, we floated this little river that goes right through the town and we had a couples massage. I think that I can totally talk him into it again. Then we got to float in the Mineral pools that were right outside out hotel in the yard. It was great.


Here is a view of the room- it was not the nicest. But I made sure that we had the huge jacuzzi tub (a must) and if you look closely you can see the nook where the toilet was (along the back wall to the right). Yes it was all in one room. So whoever was on the bed could see the person's knees who was using the comode at anytime of the day. Lovely.

This is Chris and Aidan my sisters Stacie's son. He is so freakin' cute.


Here is Erik being the HULK! Can you tell with the jammies.

Aunt Linds and Erik and Aidan. How can you resist those faces?! Expecially when the mistakenly call you Mama. :)

This is what the boys did everytime we were near water- Throw rocks.


The rock throwing didn't help Chris catch any fish- but he had a little buddy near by to cheer him up.


Chris being eater by the Grizzly bear.


Me kissing the Salmon salmon.


The wild goats on the side of the road.


Even though it was a crazy long drive it was worth the beautiful scenery and seeing my sister, her kids and husband and her cute house. This is from their back porch. We ate dinner outside almost every night. It was perfect.


This is looking down on the town of Salmon. They are so high on the hill we saw a few deer in the back yard while we were watching the Olympics on TV.

Halloween Party

Nick and Natalie had a Halloween last Saturday and it was really fun. Everyone dressed up and we carved pumpkins ate yummy food and watched Van Helsing. It was a fun night.
Chris and I wanted to be the robots from the Year 2000- from Flight of the Conchords. I thought that we didn't too bad considering we made the costumes ourselves


Chris was Jemain and I was Brett.


We're doing the Robot and the Robo-boogie, Yes Affirmative.


Me ripping off Chris's head and Arms. I am Strong!


Chris's retaliation


Pirate Jeremy and his Wench Jen


Nate and Jen the Scarecrows

Our Pumpkins- Mine was a scary tree and Chris's was a crazy face.

Is it Just Me?!

So I recently got my hair done. I love it when you go and you get the new color and the hair wash and they do it all cute. Then a week later you see split ends!!!! How is it that I just spent $70 on a cut and a color and I can see a split end on a single hair?! Granted I did say that I just wanted a trim (I am trying to grow my hair back out) but that does not mean you barely do the job. I have shaved more hair off my legs- sorry for those reading this that are grossed out. But I had to make a point. Man, I just needed to vent. I was just hoping that I wasn't the only one that got jipped out of a "real" haircut.
Thanks for letting me clear my head.

My New Favorite!

Can I tell you that I love Red Mango. It is the BEST! I have gone there about 4 times in that many weeks. I went with my dear roommates from college and I am now an addict. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think that a twist( original and Green Tea) with mangos, strawberries and the wierd Korean rice marshmallow woudl really just hit the spot. Yes, that is the combo that I get most of the time.
If you don't know what Red Mango is- it is an all natural frozen yogurt. You are probably thinking of the twist cones that you get from artic circle but this is worlds better. It actually tastes like yogurt and it is fat free, has live active cultures that help with digestion, and all sorts of other beneficial stuff. So when you do eat it- you don't think that 10 minutes of deliciousness is going straight to your booty.
If you haven't gone I will definitely go with you on your maiden voyage- just let me know so I can come down to Salt Lake. It's by the target in Fort Union.
Don't take my word on it- so you should try it. CALL ME IF YOU DO!
P.S. Chris even likes it. And he is kinda picky about sweets. I mean look at the pictire- How can that not look good!?!?

Midnight Sun

So I am not sure who all have been reading the Twilight Books, but I have. And they are so addicting! I was going to let all you readers know that there has been BIG news. It has been announced that since there was a leak a Midnight Sun draft (Twilight from Edward's perspective) on the internet Stephenie Meyer has put the book on hold indefinitely. And since she didn't want to have people go and find it illegally on the internet she has posted the copy that was leaked on her website. ALL 264 PAGES. Well you can go and download it and read it. It wouldn't have been the final copy but it is still fun and may I mention FREE. So if you are interested here is the link
http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partialdraft2.pdf

If that does not work then you go to her website
stepheniemeyer.com and the twilight series tab, then midnight sun and there is a link on the page somewhere (about half way down). So Enjoy! I have been! I am not that far so make sure that you don't spoil it.

And another happy thing - the movie is coming out on my birthday! Soooo, that means that I get to pick the movie- Twilight, here I come. It will be Enchanted all over again!
p.s.- that date on the poster/picture that I posted is wrong- it really is supposed to be the 21st.

Where Has Summer Gone!

I am so sad that the summer is more that half gone. I have only used the pool at my apartment 3 times! What the Crap! What is wrong with me! I will tell you. I used to give Chris crap for not having time last summer to hang out with me and to do what ever I wanted - he was taking summer classes hence no time for anything besides work and school. How the pot is calling the kettle black.
I am working full time and going to school part time and I don't have enough time in the week to get everything done so that I am not rushing to get it done before the deadline, and sometimes after the deadline- but only by a dew days. Hey! At least I turn it in. Gone are the days of doing what I wanted. Laying out for hours at a time and when I got home from work. Weeksdays and Saturdays full on mindless reading of Criminal Justice ( a credit filler class) and trying to make English papers not so boring ( 2010 for the SECOND TIME!). But I am happy to report that all the hard work is paying off and I will pass both classes with flying colors! Go ME!
So I guess that my tan can suffer for a summer. You can bet your butt that I will be out at the pool next year enjoying every minute of it.
