Blast from the Past....

 Ryan has been putting together videos for his family, chroniciling their adventures. Some gems have been revealed! Bridal shower fun with Deborah and Beth. Future brides out there, take my note of caution. Don't get married when you are a poor graduate student, otherwise you will end up with wicked dark roots at your bridal shower.
 Yes, this picture was taken at our engagement party. Cross-dressing in-laws? Um, yes please!
 And I still married him!
 Jim and the ladies! I mean, the three ladies!
 Look at that baby-faced groom. What have I done to him?? Ha, I'm kidding, he's aging okay.
 "Bun in the oven" was not really accurate at this point in my pregnancy with Morgan. I wore this shirt to tell Ryan's parents that I was pregnant at a mere 6-ish weeks. At forty weeks (pictured here), it would been more accurate to say something like, "Entire Bakery in My Belly."
 And we are back to engagement (pics out of order). I miss that dress. Square dancing attire at it's finest.
 Ever wonder why Jim has a slight limp? WHOA doggy! Skiing is dangerous....
 Look at that little Ryan, so stinking cute.
 I love this picture of this fabulous foursome. It's frightening how our family matches this foursome in some ways!
Mema and Papa with four of their five grandies. Look at those babies!!!!!

Last Camping Trip of 2014!

 Despite being plagued by less than ideal camping weather this summer, we ventured out for a little October camping trip to the Frank Church wilderness.
 And are we glad we did!!! Gorgeous.
 The weather couldn't have been better and the views couldn't have been more beautiful.
 I mean, look at this view of this mountain man? With a red solo cup. IDAHO!
 And this girl was not ever off this hog. Except for when the adults were on it. If you want a giggle, watch grown men on this. It's straight out of "Dumb and Dumber."
 Even the young boys embraced mountain man living.
 And everyone enjoyed this sucker!
Apparently I liked the views more than the people, I'm kidding! 


 Daddy and his campers!
 Hunger Games meets boy in small t-shirt and elderly Golden Retriever.
 Ahh, the classic rear view mirror shot.
 On the way home, we stopped at some hot springs. I'd like to think that Ryan was feeling adventurous, but I fear the smell of four unshowered people prompted this stop and resulting soak.
View of the soakers down below. Oh Idaho, you have outdone yourself this time!

While the parents are away......

 The kids will most certainly play! Especially if Mema and Papa are around.
 Shock and awe over the scariest ride known to man. Yes, my friends, Morgan and I are proud veterans of that bad boy. Those afraid of a little bacteria filled water enema need not apply.


 I think developed gills this summer....
 And diabetes.
 But it was FUN!
And sadly for them, but lucky for us, it all culminated in going back to school!

And That's A Wrap....

Ryan's been at it again folks... Three months of a blur of summer captured in a 14 minute video!

Enjoy!
