Happy Birthday Loren!!!

Tis the season...for football. Looks like Lorens trying to gain some yardage on
this run. Also Loren turned 26 on the first of November!!!

No pictures...sorry!

I'm sorry Loren and I didn't take any pictures on our trip last weekend. We left last wednesday night with Grandma Vi and her friend Linda from WA for Uncle Dicks funeral in Turlock, CA. We spent wed. night at my parents and then drove the rest of the way to Turlock on thursday morning. The funeral was at 1pm and we got there at about 10 am and had coffee and lunch and then headed to the fairgrounds where it was held. There were lots of people grandma wanted to see so she had a nice time visiting with everyone. After the funeral we had dinner with brad, wes, and cody burns and then stayed at their parents home in Tracy, CA thursday night. Grandma and Linda went to the burial at mountain ranch on friday while Loren and I spent time with the Burns bros. We drove back to bako saturday night and had a nice evening relaxin in the hot tub at mom and dads. We went to mtg in bako sunday morning and then met up with my grandparents for lunch afterwards. We got back to Vegas sunday night and have been busy ever since, midterms this week for me at school! Sorry about the lack of pictures but we didn't do anything too exciting so you aren't missing anything!!! Maybe this weekend will bring some adventures to share with ya'll!!

Kevin, Jessica, Loren and I went hiking up at Mt. Charleston Sunday afternoon. We went to the Little Falls. As advertised they were definitely little, in fact they were more like a trickle than a falls, but it was still a fun hike! 

rainbows and palm trees..is this hawaii? 

There was a beautiful rainbow Thursday night. It was actually a double rainbow but the second one was a little hard to see. This was taken from The District where we had dinner with Grandma Vi and Kevin and Jessica at the Fish House. 

The Lady Rebs volleyball team....they beat UC Santa Barbara in three straight...pretty fun to watch!!!

My friend Krystal came to visit last weekend, she was on her way to a wedding and I was on my way to the UNLV football game!! 

White Water!!!

We went white water rafting in the Kern River which is about a mile from my parents new house. It was all of our first time, so we only went on 2s and 3s. The guide let us jump out and float in the river during a calmer part of the ride and we also got to climb up a gigantic tree and swing off the rope swing!!!

Lots Of Catching Up To Do
