Going Green?

With gas prices soaring I have been considering "going green". It has become very tempting to start riding my horses to run all my errands in town. I think the local police would love it!! I have also thought of starting my own lawn mowing and fertilizing business. My only fall back is that I have no where in town to keep my horses. I still need to research any laws restricting me to turn to this alternative means of transportation. I think this is one way of "going green" that I can actually afford.

Enjoying the week of summer

Here in Twin Falls we had a small teaser of wonderful weather! It was wonderful and warm as it should be this time of year. The warmth only lasted for a week or two and is now back to what feels like March. Every year the weather gets stranger and stranger. I guess it is one of the signs of what is to come. Strange to think of it that way. Well, here are a couple of photos of us enjoying the small spell of warmth. We are bouldering a lot down at derkies. Roping up has seemed a hassle so we just throw out the pads and chill.

Jentri's first time on this project was in the night with a headlamp! She put it down without any trouble. The next day she decided to second it so she could see it. I took the photo opportunity.

After all of her hard work it was time for a nap in the hot sun. I tease her for being a lizard!

Craig came into town for the weekend and him, Tolman, and I worked on this new derkies project. As far as we know it has yet to see an accent.

And of course misty came too!

There are no photos of me because I'm the only one who picks up the camera. I also enjoy taking photos a lot. Hopefully our next post will show a bit of me?

The BIG Swing!!!

So Last weekend Craig came down from Boise and he and Corey decided they wanted to take on the small task of making a BIG swing.

This is a far away view. If you have the eyes of an eagle you might be able to actually see the rope that is hanging from the top where the RED pad is on top of the rocks to the little bitty person (Craig) that is in the cave.


This is the view from inside of the cave looking out. If you look carefully you can see the rope attached to the wall off to the right. They rigged it up so that it wouldn't swing out while they weren't on it.



This is a video of Corey playing on his new swing. I apologize for the fact that it's side ways. I haven't quite taught Corey and Craig that when you use a camera to take video you can't tip it on it's side the long way to try and fit it all in because the film turns out like this. So what have we learned students??? When video taping adventures hold the camera horizontal cause I can't turn the TV on its side. What else did we learn? That really BIG Swings are a WHOLE LOT OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Getting to know us

How long have you been together? 10 months

Who eats more? Corey definitely eats more, especially sugar!

Who said I love you first? Corey did. He gave me a Hersey kiss when we went to city last summer with a ribbon that said I love you on it, and I still have it.

Who is taller? In chacos Corey's taller I fit right under his shoulders when we hug.

Who does laundry? Jentri, Corey's too scared he'll mess it up. He really does know how to do it I think he's just afraid that he'll fold it wrong.

Who does dishes? 50/50 split

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're looking at it from the foot of the bed currently Corey does but that's just because it's closest to the door and Jentri feels safer that way. It also makes it easier for him to catch most of the glass when rocks come through the bedroom window.

Who pays the bills? Jentri, Corey just spends the money and paying all our bills is definitely a juggling act so we leave it up to Jentri, she's good at it.

Who mows the lawn? What lawn? We haven't owned grass in years.

Who cooks dinner? Corey, he has a very exotic style but at least he does it because I don't like to.

Who drives when you are together? 9 times out of 10 it's Corey in Ellie Mae, my car usually gets left home but occasionally he lets me drive.

Who is more stubborn? It depends on what it is.

Who sings better? Duh, do you really have to ask.

Who is smarter? We haven't figured that one out yet. In somethings Corey's smarter and in other things Jentri's smarter.

Who is the first to admit they are wrong? It depends on who's wrong.

Who's parent's do you see the most? Umm, we'll get back to you on that one. We can't decide right now, we think it's the same.

Who kissed who first? Jentri, Corey tried to kiss me once and I shot him down, after that he said I would have to kiss him first.

Who proposed? Corey did in the Salt Lake Temple sealing room on September 19th, 2007.

Who is more sensitive? Jentri, Corey just doesn't show it.

Who has more friends? Corey, and he somehow keeps tabs on all of them. I'm so jealous

Who has more siblings? Jentri duh! Come on over I'll introduce you to my entourage.

Who wears the pants? Jentri, Corey wears shorts.

Who asked who out first? Corey, both times.

How long have you been married? Two months, 11 days, 9 hours, 30 minutes and counting

Whose the weird one? Most days I think it's Corey but some days I give him a run for his money and we're proud to be weird.

Honeymoon photos

They are a little late but here are a few photos.

This is my uncle's cabin that we spent a week in. The solitude was delightful!!

These were our main mode of transportation. We really had fun hiking all over the place. Thank you tolman and craig for allowing us to borrow the shoes!


We tried going jousting but couldn't find anyone up for the challenge. Jentri was my knight in puffy armor.


Ice-caliber was about 5 feet long!! The most perfect icicle we had ever seen.

All in all the honeymoon was relaxing and wonderful! These days we miss that week. With life being so hectic and crazy we never get to spend time together just enjoying each other. One thing we have learned is to enjoy the small things for they are the big things.
