Service Auction

Our ward did a service auction and I volunteered to take someones family pictures.  The Burkholders ended up winning it and so we went out last week to get them done.  And now is my chance to embarrass them.  haha.  Aren't they such beautiful people?  Their little baby was so adorable he made the funniest faces ever.

They had tons of pictures that were so cute but here is just two

Love it!

Family pictures

So I was feeling a little jealous of all of the people I have been taking pictures of because they have been getting cool family pictures and McKay haven't had any nice pictures since our wedding day (which was 4 years ago!)  So we decided that we were going to pay for our pictures done.  The nice thing about Rexburg is that nice pictures only cost $30.  I'm pretty sure that if we waited until we moved to Boston it would have been wayy more expensive.  So thanks to vivianmathiasphotography we got some! yay! Oh and a special shoutout to Sharon who made me look awesome! Thanks!

This red one is my most favorite of all!!

I'm sorry if this picture grosses you out but we are married. ok people?! and this is my favorite kissy picture. 

The feet one is McKay's favorite

And this one is his other favorite

The biggest baddest yellowstone trip

So we had family come out and visit right before we leave.  We did mainly touristy stuff like Jackson and Yellowstone but it was still fun.

This is on the way to mesa falls, McKay and I just did this by ourselves but it was fun. I took this because I have a feeling I'm going to miss the big sky our here

This is a random picture I took on our way down to salt lake onetime.  but i liked it.

another random feild in idaho

Ok, now starts the family adventure thing.  This was on the way into jackson.

In our covered wagon going to the Bar 5 dinner thing. pretty fun!

One of our leaders, and nancy's boyfriend.

and then us on teton pass

and more teton pass

can Mckay work a cowboy hat? I think so! I think it's in his genes (even though he is making a crazy face)

We did spend a little bit of time trying on hats in Jackson Hole, it was pretty fun, here is an indiana jones hat...

FOREST RANGER HAT!!! AWESOME!!

 Island Park

Old faithful

I really haven't figured out if this is just funny or kinda wrong.   And yes they are real.

HDR attempt

I don't have any HDR software so I had to jimmyrig this picture. I didn't have a tripod so that added a couple of huge speed bumps to the process.  oh well. I think came out alright... even though I see a mistake there, and there, and there, and there... I just want to be done *sigh*

The barn was kinda hard to find, so just incase any of you want to visit it go up 89 in Jackson and then go past the airport and Moose.  Then turn right onto antelope flats road and then right on Mormon Row.  If you are a photographer I would recommend going during sunrise b/c the lighting would be amazing.   It was seriously the most beautiful place ever.  I wish I could live there.

Springtime

FINALLY! Spring is real. and it is here. officially. After years of snow the tree in our backyard started to bloom... yesterday! Hallelujah! The snow killed the buds last year and so it didn't bloom but not this year.  The leaves just came out too. Happiness!

Along with the leaves coming out so is the flooding... A LOT

there are tons of frogs here now.  The sound is deafening.

We even had to officially start off the warm weather with a massive BBQ. yay us!

This is the really last one I promise!  My grandma wanted to see some more pictures so here they are.  This is just a bunch of random pictures. First the Polynesian Cultural Center...

Tahitian dancers.  I wish I could shake it like them

Palm tree climber dude.  He seriously climbed that thing so fast!

More pictures from that hike

We went to the swap meet and got cheap touristy stuff.  This stuff is homemade soap

Crazy Cat Pigeon Lady

random flower

Fun fact: 27 more days in rexburg!

Welcome to the Jungle

 This is the last pictures I am going to post on here for a while.  This was a hike we did in Hawaii.  It was really fun.  When I was coming around a bend in the trail all the sudden I found McKay like this...

This was the hike where I got that cut and popped my hip out of its socket.  That seriously hurt like crazy.  We wore our swimming suits again so we would be prepared to swim but there was no water to jump in.  sad :( But we saw things that were just as fun and it was one of the funniest things we did. 

Don't ask me what McKay is doing in this picture.  I just thought it was funny.  He might be kicking a stump or something.

random ferns and stuff that had cool texture...

Bamboo forest... pretty awesome!!

View... AMAZING!
