2011

Wow! Where has the time gone! So much has happened in just this short year.
In February I went to Maui with my best friend Jodi. We had an amazing time. Whale watching was our all time favorite thing to do. The island was magnificent! The colors, smells, temperature. . . I loved every second of my time there with Jodi. Not knowing it would be last time with her. On March 8th Jodi was flying home from Nevada with her fiance Danny in his vintage world war II plane and ran into some bad weather. Their plane went down in the Sawtooth Mountains. So so sad! I think of her every day and wish things were different.
Both of my handsome boys are full-time students at ISU and both show interests in Engineering. Jed is 26years old and Bryan is 21.
Jed loves to play the piano still and enjoys rock climbing, guns,camping and hunting.
Bryan works full time at Pro Clean car wash as the assistant manager. Bryan is a good student, enjoys long boarding, snow boarding, camping, fishing, hunting. Bryan married Lindsay Chandler Oct. 22nd 2011. Bryan is a hard worker and will make a good husband and provider. Lindsay doesn't know how lucky she is. They plan to have a big wedding celebration in July for family and friends since the first one was just a spur of the moment.
Paul is a hard working Pharmacist for the VA. and Fred Meyer. Paul is also a Hard Working Bow hunter. Quite serious about hunting. Paul loves horses, dogs, fishing, hunting and camping. Paul is an excellent husband and father. An all around great guy. Paul has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome. He and his brother Kevin both are suffering from this unusual disease. Paul has gone through so many obstacles in his life and hardly ever complains about a thing.
As for myself, I work at The Academy. . a charter school here in Pocatello. I work in the Special Ed. Dept. this is my 5th year there. I like gardening, photography, reading and recently took up Zumba. My favorite thing to do is hang out with my family. Hopefully, each time I post I won't have to do a year update! lol

Paul fishing in Alaska - 2010

Summer 2010

Wow! It has been a long time since I've looked at my Blog! Summer is coming to an end, I go back to work tomorrow and what to do. . . .what to do! I wish there was more time to go camping and playing around. Paul and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this summer and it was alot of fun! We spent the night at the Black Swan Inn and then we drove through Jackson and then through Yellowstone. It was alot of fun! Our dogs are alot of fun, Gunner has grown and caught up to Bailey in size. He is a bit of a spaz! Gunner loves to swim in the river as does Bailey. Paul took a trip to Alaska this summer and had a great time fishing!He is now gearing up for the 2010 Elk hunting season, the man never quits! One thing to the next!!!Well, lets see if I am smarter than the average cave man and post some pictures!

Gunner & Paul

Paul and his little shadow Gunner. Gunner would hop from one foot print to the next following Paul all the way down to the barn and back. So Cute!

So that was Gunner on the day we brought him home

Oh my goodness! I am such a slacker when it comes to this blog. It is already the middle of April and I have yet to post a picture of our new pup. So here it goes, I will try. I don't get on this enough to remember exactly what I am doing. Anyway this is Gunner. He is going on 4 months. He always thinks he is starving, so he eat's like a cow, not a dog.
