Our Poor Neglected Blog

 

 

Whoops....

Looks like time kind of got a way from us. We haven't been on this blog in so long that I almost forgot how to do it!

 

Obviously a LOT has happened since last November. I think that's why I've been putting off "documenting" it on here....there's just tooooooo much!

 

 

Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? So we'll go that route. Here's a little picture recap of the last 7-8ish months. :)

Haha kinda sad.

 

 

Quick detour to September...Mitch got a slug gun for his birthday!

We went to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving with my family! For some reason
this is the only picture I can find of that trip....



Mitch spent most of the fall hunting! Sorry, blurry picture of his camo attire.

 

December...hunting indoors with the Sommer brothers.

Our little Christmas Tree!

We kind of cheated and picked out our own presents from each other this year...except a few, like this one, were a surprise! Mitch got me my favorite movie and I didn't even know he knew it was my favorite! What a guy.

 



Mitch got a camp chef grill thing. And he was really excited. :)






He also got a carrying case for his camp chef grill thing...
(and let me tell you, we've already enjoyed this present several times this summer)

I got a new coat!

AND Mitch picked out two wedding bands to add to my ring!
Why two? I'm weird and thought one looked funny. But they are beautiful and I love them!
We also celebrated our 1st Anniversary December 23rd, right before Christmas.
(Can you tell basketball was rough on my knuckle?)
 

This was actually on our official 1st Anniversary!
I've never been happier.

We kind of went crazy baking this year around the holidays. These are caramel/chocolate covered pretzels. We also made a million homemade caramels. Yummmm.

We got some snow on Christmas EVE!

 

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in Rexburg with Mitch's family, and then we went to Pocatello to spend Christmas Day with my family...and then we started our journey to ARIZONA for my little baby brother's wedding. Temple Square is my favorite!

 

Temple Square, Salt Lake City

Beautiful!

Car ride to Arizona...what a drive.

Drove 14+ hours to get to Thatcher, Arizona. Cool place, huh?

  



Playing games in the hotel room the night before the WEDDING.

Getting ready for the wedding....hey look, Jeff does brush his teeth.
hahahahahaha.

MARRIED! Hard to believe my little Matty tied the knot.
SO good to have Brianna a part of our crazy fam.

They can jump.

In January, we went to Jackson Hole to visit the Elk Ranch.
Really, it was WAY cooler than I thought it would be! :) There were literally thousands of elk.

They take you on a tour of the ranch on one of these sleighs pulled by gigantic horses.
Seriously, so many elk!

Mitch at one of the look-out points by the ranch.

Then we went and got some lunch at some pizza joint. Very good.

In February, we took up cross country skiing and went to Soda Springs to try out some trails with Zane and Shaleece.
AWESOME.
Although I have to mention, a couple of weeks after this trip, they found a dead body behind that water tower thing in the picture and said it had been there since the holidays............SO GLAD WE DIDN'T GO OVER THERE!

Shaleece, Zane, Me and Mitch
Fun people! We're glad they like to humor us with our crazy ideas.

Skiing! Good work out. We also went out to lunch with Mitch's dad and Soda turned out to be better than expected. :)
Oooohh we also went to Lava to the hot pools. It was great!

Puzzle boy. Mitch really has a knack for putting puzzles together.
I put in two pieces and then have to take a multi-hour break.

 



Valentine's DAY!





In February, we also went snow-shoed up to Mesa Falls. It is EXTREMELY pretty in the winter and something I'd never seen before.

Once again, Zane and Shaleece accompanied us on our adventure along with Zane's brother!

Walkin...I decided I prefer cross-country skiin!

OK HOLY COW picture overload. At least I got to February, right? I'll update the rest later.

Life is good! :)
