Lots of Visits

Last weekend we were excited to have Val's service buddy-the famous Noah Dunlap, his wife Lauren, and her sister come visit Bancroft. We took them to see the local sites in Soda Springs.

There are many springs around the area. This here is Hooper Springs. The water is naturally carbonated and tastes like iron.

Everyone enjoying the manmade wonder of the geyser. I was impressed the first time I saw it. Rumor has it that when this hole was drilled for a swimming pool, Old Faithful got smaller.

We made a suprise visit to Rexburg so Val could have his back checked out. Jack loves the attention from Gma & Gpa!

This weekend we had the Holgates for a birthday celebration. Rebecca turned 24! We soaked in the hot pots and had a great time.

Jack didn't want anyone to leave. We hope that you will all come back!

Ready, Set, Go!

He's on the move! Time to put everything up and out of reach. This kid is all over the place with his own unique style of crawling. I'm sure all moms can relate to the diaper escape. Jack thinks its a game now to get away while I'm grabbing a clean diaper. That has been our week.

Comin' to you live

I'm a little slow at posting this, but here is a sneek peek at our middle school
V-Dance Val was asked to DJ.

This week...

Jack has had quite the hair lately. So, dad decided it was time for a trim.

What a man child! Just call me Butch.

Happy days are here again!

After almost a full week of sickness we are finally better! Jack was a miserable kid. I don't think we went through that many diapers, blankets, and outfits as a newborn. I was contantly doing wash. Today has been completely different.
Doesn't he just make you smile?
Of course, we had to have a couple of baths per day.

Tagged

I admit that I have put this off, but my cousin Sheena tagged me. I will now share with you 5 things unique to me.

First off, I really enjoy chinese and mexican food. I miss a trip to Fong's once in a while. Recently, we stopped at Bajio for lunch and devoured the most tasty fajita ever! I highly recommend the Fajita Clasica.

Second, I despise in the worst way SPIDERS! If I see one I am jumpy all day, and have to check the bed before I get in. I can't even look at a picture of one.

Third, there is that pet peeve that just gets at you. Do you ever find empty milk or juice containers in your fridge?

Fourth, I have never liked to excercise because everyone has always told me how skinny I am. In school you have to watch videos and listen to lectures on anorexia. I never wanted anyone to think that I was, so I wouldn't be caught dead excercising. Now, I understand the importance of it in one's life. If I want to keep up with my husband when we are older I had better start a routine, any suggestions?

Fifth and last, I have always had this fantasy of swimming in a tropical pool with waterfall. Looks great about now!

*Bonus: I really enjoy watching American Idol. Both Val and I have mutual on Tuesday nights and have to record it. Check it out, we love it!

I guess I am suppost to tag someone, well whoever has not done one this is this one to do!

Our Beloved Prophet

We are very saddened by the passing of our dear Prophet.

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley passed away at the age of 97. He has done so many wonderful things, there aren't words to describe his greatness. I will always remember getting to be in the same room as he dedicated the Hinckley Building on BYU-I campus. We will miss him.
