Fat Biking Trip 2015

This past Saturday we spent the morning/afternoon in Driggs with our friends Dave, Kristy, Dallin, and Saraiah. We rented fat bikes from the ORC and went down a groomed trail outside of Driggs.

We went fat biking last year with Dave and Kristy here in Rexburg and had a great time so we decided we would try it again but try a groomed trail this year. I would definitely recommend the activity to anyone. It was SO much fun.

We biked about 4.2 miles to a turn around point and then biked back to our car. The way back a bit easier than the way there. A bit more down hill on the way back made a huge difference! Haha. We passed and saw a lot of cross county skiers and a few people snow shoeing.

We loaded up at the ORC at 8:30 and headed out!
The gorgeous view in the parking lot where we started biking.
This girl is seriously the greatest.

As we were biking we stopped at a camp ground Kevin and I camped at last summer for a family reunion. It was hilarious seeing the picnic tables and bathrooms covered with snow.

We also stopped to see this little waterfall. It was super pretty! (and it was always nice to be able to stop and take a break! My thighs were burnin!) :) haha

 The turn around spot was also the start of the trail for a hike called Table Rock. We all made a pack that day that we're going to hike it sometime this year haha. Hence the huddle with all our hands in...

We stopped on the way back and found a little hill. All the boys slid down on their bellies and got covered in snow! We of course had to stop and take a few pictures as well. :)
This was after Kevin climbed back up one of the times he slid down. :) He is so dang goofy, I love him!

It was super fogging driving into Driggs and then as soon as we pulled into the parking lot the fog was gone and it was blue skies! Then as we were leaving we drove back into the fog again! It looked super cool/creepy! We finished the day off eating at a delicious burger/pizza place and stuffed ourselves full then headed back to Rexburg!

It was such a great day spent with some fabulous people! I am grateful we live in an area that we can do such fun outdoor things even in the winter time. I'm also grateful we have amazing friends that are willing to go on these adventures with us! 


Until next time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
