Headed to Rexburg!

We headed for Rexburg, on the 12th of this month, for my friends daughter's wedding. There are windmills all over the place here in Wyoming. They are GIANORMOUS!! Each fin on the windmill spans over 350 feet. The pics with the snow are of the Medicine Bow forest and I believe the Snowy Range mountains.

Chelsea decided that this was the mini Teton mountain range. haha She took all of these pics out the window of the car going 80 mph. She took 160 pics so it was a little difficult to decide which ones to publish.

Wyoming is not the most beautiful place to live. It is flat and desert everywhere. This is what most of it looks like except for the Mini Tetons haha!

There are trains everywhere!! I have been told that Cheyenne was the main hub of the west for trains. We do have a huge train depot right in the middle of town. Chelsea caught this one going right over the top of us as we drove by.

Afton Wyoming

Of course we had to stop for cheese curd! My favorite!

We finally made it to Idaho!! We were all excited to see this sign. It has been 5 months since we moved with no trips back. We miss Rexburg.

THE cutest grandbaby in the world!! Our first stop after we drove into town was Christopher's basketball game. He played really well and it was sooo fun to watch him play ball again.

The Michael Jordan tongue haha.

It was Micah's friend, Rais's, birthday so we planned a surprise meeting for him and Micah at the motel we were staying at. He didn't really look that surprised, I'm thinking someone leaked the secret. We ordered pizza and let them swim in the pool for hours. They had a BALL!!

This is Sadie,Rais's sister.

The 2 beauty, swim queens. I do make beautiful children :)

Megan, Rais's sister.

Christopher brought Teagen's basketball hoop and they had a major ball game going. Shelby tried to stay dry and beautiful but haha didn't work. She finally succombed to being wet and had some fun.

Teagen wasn't sure what to think at first........

Then started having a ball with dad :)

He really didn't appreciate the water in the face.












Right here was supposed to be pics of the temple and the reception, which is the MAIN reason we came.......guess who forgot to bring the camera?! Brilliant. I'm getting them from my friends daughter so I will add them soon.

Christmas in Cheyenne 2009

Anxiously awaiting the ok to go upstairs and see what Santa brought.

Trying to decide if this is her's or not.
Micah had a heck of a time opening presents with a broken arm. He had to have some help on some of it.

Kadee wanted a Nintendo DS like Micah's so we got her this little Leapster that looks like one but is much cheaper and more her age.

Shelby's new jeans and....do you think Chelsea likes her jacket haha




An Xbox given to us by a friend.

Micah's shoes were falling apart so he's pretty excited about new ones.






Pretty rings for a pretty little girl.

I love tiny hands :)

A new umbrella from Gramma and Gramps

A new tie from Gramma and Gramps

Loves for the teddy bear from Chelsea.

New shirt from Shelby.

Kris got Chelsea the New Moon boardgame and you would have thought she'd gotten a million dollars.

New boots from Shelby.

Coloring the pretty picture from Kris.

Our family tradition of pajamas for Christmas Eve then listening to a recorded reading of the Christmas story from Gramma Mamie.

The girl's thought it would be funny to wrap Kadee in the paper from the jammies ;)

Group hug in their new jammies.

Kris and Matt came over for Christmas dinner. It's nice to have company.

Our new Christmas tradition that Kris introduced us to. Christmas Mice. They are soooo cute. A marchino cherry dipped in melted chocolate chips.

Then put it on an oreo. You are supposed to use white chocolate dipped oreos but they were not anywhere to be found so we used double stuff.

Add a Hershey kiss for the face and slivered almonds for the ears.

Red and green gel frosting for the eyes and holly berries.

Aren't they just the cutest??? We had so much fun. We had a little assembly line going and it went fast.
