When The Parents Visit

This weekend was full of fun. On Friday we went swimming, out to dinner, and to iCover (concert on campus) with Roger's dad and step-mom. On Saturday Roger, Brad, and Cade completed a triathlon and got second place by 10 seconds. Roger ran a 5k, Cade biked 12 miles, then Brad swam 600 meters. Then we had a BBQ at our complex with some friends (thanks to Jeff and Maren). Then we went to Jackson Hole. It was quite eventful and we had a blast! :)

Good News!

After many hours of studying, late night caffeinated pop and pizza runs he made it! Roger got accepted into the BYU-Idaho Nursing Program for Fall 2011. I am so happy and proud. That means another two years here in glorious Rexburg! ;) Other good news.... I get to shoot my first wedding next weekend!

New Calling

Here we are. The new Nursery/Primary Teachers! Just got the calling this morning and helped out today. I've missed this calling. I had it when I was at my home ward a couple years ago. I think it intimidates Roger a little but he really is good with kids. And...I also am so happy because Rexburg is actually beautiful, sunny, and hot. The End.

Whenever I Get Mad...

I stumbled upon this quote today (searching photography and craft blogs...which i could do forever). Anyways, it made me laugh so I wanted to share it with you! Happy Wednesday!

Sharing Recipes Are Always A Delight

I love when we have people over because it gives me a good excuse to make something new I have been dying to try. We had Jessie and Cade over on Saturday and made this little number. Loved it! Even the leftovers were great. I recommend it. Hope you all had a great weekend. We are looking forward to this three-day weekend. We are having our good friend Sarah in town and going to West Yellowstone. Life is good.

The Challege

Roger made me proud on Saturday night when he entered into an eating competition. There were two girls competing and about 10 guys. It was at Sammy's - a burger joint in Rexburg. He had to eat a six pattie burger, a shake, fries, and a drink... all in under 20 mins. Sounds crazy right? Well he did it in 17 mins and got second place! Haha. It was amazing. He won $50 in gift cards to Sammys. We celebrated afterwards, Roger bought his "entourage" shakes (Steve, Brad & Leyla). It was a success and I have to post pictures. Did i mention that they're going to post a video of this whole thing.... i'll have to post it soon :)
