Fall Photos

We went for a hike up our favorite trail the other day. Danny didn't know I was going to turn the hike into family photo day! He was a pretty good sport about it though!

Our favorite bridge had fallen down! The sign at the bottom of the trail said they were trying to repair it though.

Brody loves to get out of the backyard!

Womens Fitness Celebration

Last weekend, Brookney and I ran the womens fitness celebration 5K. 12,000 crazy women were out at 8:00 saturday morning ready to run...or walk, or stroll. We ran from the capitol building up the hill to the train depot, and around to Julia Davis Park. We waited at the starting line for at least an hour, while the run itself was over in 25:41 for Brookney and me. It was a beautiful morning, perfect for a run. I am rarely up at 7 am, but this was worth it. Fun times with Brookney!

I have noticed in all my race photos I have a terrible scowl on my face. It may not look like it, but I really do like to run! I guess I'll have to live with the wrinkles on my forehead!

Pocatello Marathon 10K

The Pocatello Marathon was Saturday, Sept. 5th. I ran the 10K again this year and it was a great day for running: nice and cool. This was only my 3rd 10K, but it was my fastest yet. I finished in 54:10, which was surprising considering I never have much time in the summer to run. We're always gone camping and boating! These are my finish line photos.

3rd Annual Trip to McCall

Hanging out at Ponderosa Park.

Our Bike ride to the Overlook at the north end of the park.

Wishing we owned one of the mansions on the lake!

Boating with Mom and Dad.

Can't wait for next year!

Mt Borah

What an exhasting day! We had never hiked Mt. Borah, so we didn't know what to expect. We hiked for almost 6 hours that day!

The views were amazing!
Danny prides himself with his crazy hair. How crazy can it get before vacation is over?!

We finally made it to the tree line...then it only got harder!

We made it all the way to just below "Chicken Out Ridge" when I did just that! It was so windy with no trees to block it. We made it to about 11000 ft. Only 1500ft to go, but I couldn't do it! Jumping out of an airplane is one thing, but being blown off a cliff is so much scarier! The guys will have to go without me next time!

A little rain, a lot of wind, but all in all it was a pretty good day.

Poor Brody

Crazy Brody is not allowed to go out on the boat, so when we are at Bear Lake this barn is his dungeon for a few hours. Needless to say, he is not happy when we leave. This picture of him looks deceivingly calm, but don't be fooled. He goes crazy.

What is the facination with miniature donkeys?

They could have fed those donkeys apples off grandma's tree all day!

July on the Boat

American Falls Resevoir

4th of July Weekend

We spent a day hiking at Bloomington Lake. There were quite a few people there because of the weekend, but no one was ambitious enough to hike where we did, so it was nice a quiet on top of the mountain.

Its always a little difficult to get a picture together when its the two of us and a dog!

This is our tree from last year. We found the same spot.

I love this picture of Danny and Brody. It was so calm and quiet up there.

I had to put this one in because it shows off Danny's big muscles! I'm engaged to one hot guy!

The next day we went boating with Miriam and family. First time out on the boat this year, and the water was COLD! Even by Bear Lake standards. Little Jaxon didn't like the life jacket much, it smushed his chubby cheeks!

Brother and sister...so cute.
