Dowry


Even though this is the second time to the altar for both Sean and I, my family are not slackers. Grazing on the land behind Jared's home site are the goats for my dowry!

Scenic Photo


The sky was deep blue and the clouds were blindingly white so we decided to take it in balck and white so we could the describe the colors! lol

Wild Plums


We stopped to pick some wild plums. They were tasty but it is an open invite to disaster to eat more than a few at a sitting. We decided that they would make a tasty pie, so the part of the picture that you can't see is that Sean is loading up my shirt full since we lacked a bag.

We Know It's Dead


For Jared,- let's just say his macho streak doesn't come out around spiders-, to get on a rock and stand on the snakes head, we all pretty much guessed it to be dead. His step-daughter Paige got to take the rattle home for school show and tell.

Jared VS Mother Nature


On one of our rides we came around a corner and Jared flagged us down. There was a rattle snake in the middle of the road. As you can see by the rocks, he smooshed it. Then he let the cave man loose and cut off the rattler with a sharp rock. All of us Alaskans stared at the writhing thing debating its level of deadness. The next picture is the clincher.

Sean on vacation


Besides the Hampton Inn post that only Doug can truly appreciate, here is the story that makes sense. We went to Whitebird, ID to visit my brother Jared for a few days. We got to go rafting and did a lot of sightseeing by 4-wheeler. This was right before Sean went crazy trying to see how far he could fling rocks by fishtailing along the road. Just kidding! I was on the back so he had to take it easy.

For Mr. Wilber




Doug- This one is just for you! WE had fresh coffee 24/7 in Nampa. We even took some to go it was so good!
