IDAHO WEDDING TRIP

My parents and grandparents went sightseeing to the Shoshone Falls outside of Burley ID. There was an elk preserve nearby and all of these elk were on the cliff overlooking the falls...pretty neat.

Wild horses in Nevada on the drive to Idaho, we saw about 100 of them all along the road in small herds...it was so fun to see wild mustangs!!

There was a few foals in every herd.

Fathers Day Ice Cream Social!!

We played a game where everyone had to write down a flavor of ice cream that best described their personality and then I read them aloud and everyone took turns guessing which flavor belonged to which person, Uncle Bruce got the most right and won the Coldstones gift certificate!!

Grandpa's Fathers Day gift, a black and white photo of him out at the ranch checking the water guage and a cowboy poem.

We also played a game where we had 7 different ice creams and we had to guess what flavors they were, not that easy let me tell you!! Grandma won that one!!

Sampling the 7 flavors

Grandpa thinking hard about the flavors...

Even the presents were ice cream themed( at least the wrapping was!)

Our ice cream cone name tags and the Fathers got extra large ones because it was their special day...

Our sundae with the cherry on top centerpiece

Pretty much anyone who knows my dad knows how much he loves ice cream, so this year for Father's Day we decided to throw him an Ice Cream themed party. My grandparents and Uncle Bruce were here also and we had lots of fun eating lots of sweets and playing ice cream themed games.

Fresh Fish Anyone??

I posted these pictures in the wrong order...this is of the finished product. Loren's been doing a lot of fishing lately and has been dying to eat some of the trout that he caught..sooo...last month he had me look up a recipe online for grilling trout and he made mom and dad and I dinner. I don't normally eat fish but since he had gone to all the trouble and the smelled really good I had to try some!! They were great!! He even made the salad and rice to go with and set the table!! Ha ha ha!! Points for my hubby!!

Avila Beach & Cambria

Do you recognize Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum?

Mom is on summer vacation and I had 2 days off work so we jetted over to the coast for a quick beach fix. We laid out on the beach at Avila on tuesday, had mango smoothies from the Tiki Hut and enjoyed a beautiful day on the beach. We stayed last night with my Uncle Kirk in Morro Bay and woke up to a rare fogless day in the bay, we took advantage of the great weather and walked down to the local coffee shop(The Blue Bean) for our morning caffeine jolt. We decided we should tour Cambria, the town where Loren and I got married since I haven't been back since the wedding. Most of the pictures are from our day in Cambria....

Shooting in CO

Loren and Brad

Biking in CO

Sorry for the lack of posting lately but our camera went missing for a while after Loren's trip to Colorado and now that we have found the camera the amount of pictures I'm behind is a little intimidating....It's been an amazing month, non-stop visitors with the Burns Brothers, Brad, Wes, & Cody here for a few weeks, Jeff, Renee & their lil cuties, my cousin Kirsten and her 2 girlies, Mom & Dad Hansen plus Grandma Brown, Trent & my Grandpa and Grandma Lawrence. All the visitors and convention have made time fly and I can't believe its almost the end of May already. Loren and I are both enjoying our new jobs. Loren is working in Palmdale on a hospital there and he has to get up at 3 in order to drive there, so needless to say he's pretty tired when he gets home, how he finds the energy to still go on bike rides when he gets home is beyond me!! Anyhow, here's a lil catch-up!!!
