USU Girls

The fourth weekend in May Jenny went up to see her USU girlfriends. It was a blast to get together for a girls weekend. Todd's parents came the same weekend for a Gold Wing Rally Cedar was having, but unfortunately it turned out to be a big disappointment, so no pictures! But everyone had a good time!

We have a customize timer setting on our camera and so the girls took 10 pictures in a row! This one is the first one! Pretty lovely, don't you think!

Then of course there had to be a kissy face one! It just wouldn't be an 8 girl get-together without a kissy face one!


Then there was the random cry to strangle your neighbor! I think that was Kat's idea!

And yes, believe it or not, this is the "Try to Look Sexy" one. Yes, yes it is. And while we are much older and more mature than we were in college, we still don't what it means to look sexy! Some of us look confused while others look just plain scared - as we never really did figure out what sexy is supposed to look like!

We went to dinner at a really yummy pizza/pasta place, California Kate's Pizza - or something. There was so much to look at for me, being in the BIG city and all I wasn't able to pay attention to everything!


And then after it was all over Erin and Jenny really tried hard to tally the money and figure out the check - I mean Jenny is an Accounting college grad and Erin graduated top in her class, they should be able to figure it out - right?!

These are most all of the girls who really made my college experience so much fun. I look back on college with fond memories, mostly of them - Thanks guys!

Camping in the Kaibab

We went to the Kaibab forest the second weekend in May. For those of you who don't know the Kaibab is right next to the Grand Canyon North Rim. Jenny's family goes there every year for the Annual Carter Family Campout in the Kaibab - pretty creative name eh!


Todd had fun making breakfast with Kate while Jenny was out providing meat for the family!

We also got to use our favorite tent that Todd's siblings gave us for our wedding!

And when Jenny finally did get a turkey her nephew, Carter was able to sneak up on it and shoot it with his bow!

Todd also took his bike along for the trip and had a blast riding it up and down the hills!

Off To The Races


So we went to Vegas the first weekend in May for the first annual Diesel Hot Rod Assoc Championships! It was really fun and then turned out to be pretty expensive. Todd did the sledpull with his truck and, although he went pretty far compared to other trucks, it did end up costing us our brand new clutch with just over the allotted warranty miles on it! But nonetheless it was pretty cool to see so much fast diesel power!

There was also a burnout contest, which was so cool. There was some serious rubber smell in the air during that! There were also some pretty cool trucks on the runway!

We were invited by Todd's mechanic, who actually paid for our room in Mesquite, which only really made Jenny wonder just how much time Todd spends down there at the mechanic shop! The mechanic had a truck racing(the red and gray one) so it was also fun to have someone specific to cheer for! All and all it was fun to be in Vegas sniffing all that wasted fuel all day!

I Saw A Bear

Do you remember the campfire song - I saw a bear, oh way up there... Well yes, the title is fitting for one of the pictures above! Jenny went with her Dad to New Mexico and Colorado the other week and the funnest part was seeing a bear with 2 cubs. Thought we'd share that with all of you! And the duplex is coming right along. It is looking so cute! We have already had a few people interested in it and we are excited about it getting done! It also has a cute little fenced backyard! The outside should be finished this week and Todd will probably start painting the inside next week. Then trim, flooring, kitchen, and some clean up with the basement and done!! Yeah right - we all know how that goes!!
