Just So You Know

Hi! This is Shanna, Jenna's sister. She just wanted to let you know that her computer broke and so she can't make any updates for awhile. Thank goodness for our good friends, the Matheneys, who are trying to fix it but had to take her computer to Texas to get it fixed! So there will not be any updates for a little bit. Here is Jenna's sad face for her broken computer! But she and Cole are busily packing and getting things ready for thier big move coming up very quickly. We wish them luck!

Thanks Emily!

Earlier this week we had the chance to spend the day at Snowbird ski resort. Emily's family has a time share there and go up every year. She invited my family and Shan and Matthew to spend the day with her family doing all sorts of fun activities. I met Emily through classes at BYU. We were both in the Elementary Education program. In the program you are divided into cohorts of about 20 other students. You go through all your classes for the 2 year program with the same cohort group. Needless to say we were able to get to know Emily pretty well. Currently she lives in St. George and, with us moving to Kansas, this was one of the last opportunities to see her and her adorable little family. Playing tennis with Emily's siblings. Isn't that background gorgeous!?Emily's little girl, Mylee, crawled into Cade's car seat and was so proud of herself. I thought it was adorable.Mylee and Cade playing.Cade swinging and playing in the park.Here is Emily and I coming down the Alpine slide.

We had so much fun!! Thanks so much to Emily and her family for letting us join them for the day! We will miss seeing you Emily!!

The 4th Weekend

For the 4th we went up to Cole's parents cabin again in Scofield. Most all of his family and extended family were able to come. We went up on Friday afternoon, slept over and left Saturday afternoon. It is in a really beautiful area and we really had a fun time. Friday afternoon a bunch of us got on the 4-wheelers and went up to Skyline Drive. Once you get to the top, it is miles and miles of trail atop the mountains with incredible views. It was a lot of fun.

Later that night we had a great dinner along with delicious homemade ice cream made by Cole's mom. After dinner Cole and I and Cole's brother and his wife went fishing. This was a first for me. I was a spaz at casting! I enjoyed the experience although it was very anti-climatic since we didn't have anything close to a nibble! I don't have any pictures-probably because we were so bummed with not catching anything. Cole and I got up early Saturday morning and took the same trail to Skyline drive to see the sun rise. The sky was amazing. It makes me miss the big Texas skies back home!
