Our Summer

It is crazy to think that the summer is almost over.  It feels like it just started.  It has been good though.  Here are a few things we have done this summer.  

Kevin bought me some flowers for Mother's Day, because I am going to be a Mom.  We knew we were pregnant at that time, but no on else did.  

We went up to Kevin's Parent's cabin for Memorial Day Weekend.  It sure is beautiful in Island Park.  It was a cold and rainy weekend, but we made is outside to some sites anyways.  

We went up to the Cabin again in June, when Kevin's parents were visiting from California.  His dad is a great fisherman and caught this 20" fish in Henry's Fork of the Snake River.

Here I am in all my fishing garb.  I have learned how to fly fish and really like it.  I get a little too excited when I get a bite though and can't always get the fish hooked.  The boots I wear are a men's size 10.  Huge, but I don't get wet.  

Kevin had just let a fish go here.  It was only 10", but he caught ones bigger than that as well.  

We went to Warm River to feed the fish with some of our nieces and nephews.  You know the fish will eat the bread here, at Big Springs they just sit there.  

We stopped by Lower Mesa Falls on our way back as well.  We are blocking the falls, but they sure are beautiful!    

Our Garden!!

One of the reasons Kevin and I decided to move into the place we live is so we would be able to have a garden.  I was super excited and there were all sorts of things I wanted to plant.  Kevin was somewhat excited, because he doesn't really like to weed.  Our neighbors plowed an area for us, but when we went out and looked at it, we decided it was too rocky.  Part of the area was going to be okay, but the rest would be too rocky, so we decided to build a garden box.

Our little Garden Box!  

The area that wasn't too rocky.

We have planted a few different things in our square foot garden; tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, onions, cilantro, peas, beans, cantaloupe, squash, lettuce, and spinach.  In our other area we planted corn and pumpkins.  We are hoping that the corn works because many people have told us that they couldn't grow it around here.  

Kevin is great at watering our little garden.  He worries about the plants getting enough water each day.  We will have to see how big of a help he is at weeding. :) 

Spring!

For one of my classes I had to take some pictures.  I chose to do a spring theme.  The pictures are from the terraced gardens at BYU.  

These are some of my favorite pictures.  Spring is so great, with everything coming alive again!

Conference Weekend

Over General Conference weekend we went up to Idaho.  We visited Rachel and Isabel while we were up there.  Isabel is super cute and is so small.

It is kind of hard to listen to conference when you are holding a cute baby and sitting next to a handsome guy.  

Isn't this a great picture?  It is during the afternoon session on Sunday.  Must have played too hard on Saturday night, or just ate a big Easter dinner.  

Wedding Cake!

Kevin cutting the cake, he had to re-frost it since the frosting stuck to the tinfoil.  

Kevin and I decided to eat the topper from our wedding cake early!  We didn't wait the full year, but instead ate it on our 7 month anniversary.  It was super yummy!

Snowmobiling In Island Park

Kevin and I went snowmobiling in Island Park over Presidents Day weekend in February.  This was one of the first major things we did when we were dating.  It brought back a lot of memories.  We went with his brother B.J. and his wife, Katie.

We snowmobiled down to Mesa Falls this year.  It was fun to see the falls in the winter.  We had to slide down the stairs to get to the viewing decks. (Kevin and I, Katie and B.J.)

Have to sneak in a kiss on the cheek every once in awhile!

On our way back we went to Big Springs and then to Upper Coffee Pots campground.  On the way there we saw some moose in Henry's Fork of the Snake River. Katie is blocking the sun for us so we can get a good picture.

We stopped and took a break for awhile.  Kevin decided I was too comfortable just standing, so he tackled me.   We also had a snowball fight with B.J. and Katie.  I think we won!  

How it all began

Every story starts somewhere and every good story starts with a handsome boy and a pretty girl, and this is just what this story started with.  Kevin (the handsome boy) and I (Leonora, the pretty girl) were married on August 22, 2009 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.

The Best Day of Our Lives!

We have been married for six months now and love it!  We are both going to school and working right now, which keeps us busy.  Kevin is studying Computer Science at BYU and I am getting my teaching certification at UVU.  They are both wonderful schools.  We live in South Provo right next to the train tracks and a train stop.  They are loud and our house shakes when a train goes by, but it keeps life interesting.  We don't have the most exciting lives right now, but we do have fun every once in a while.
