1 Year Anniversary in Yellowstone

This is an example of the lovely people visiting Yellowstone when we were. The caption says "The idiots who thought they could take on a buffalo...we saw them everywhere."

These are the Grand Tetons at sunset. They are gorgeous mountains and we only wish we could have gone on a couple of hikes before we went back to our slave labor.

This is the canyon where the Yellowstone River falls over two cliffs, its is breathtaking.

Chris and the emerald green water. It was like standing on top of the waterfall.

Another picture of the canyon that is described as the Yellowstone Grand Canyon.

This is us in front of Morning Glory. Chris can tell you a really funny joke that is inappropriate for all eyes to read. I think Wyoming has a fetish.

This is the runoff from a geyser and the Lodge behind it.

Us in front of a lake in the Grand Teton National Park. The clouds are covering the mountains behind us.

And finally this is a picture at the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum in Jackson, Wyoming. It was a lot of fun to watch the kids react. And this is the worlds largest belt buckle collection... just for Liz.

We had so much fun on our little weekend getaway celebrating our one year. I can't believe the time has flown by. I have never seen the wonders of Yellowstone and was thrilled by everything. Chris enjoyed a break from his endless work, and we enjoyed a break from the everyday lull of Idaho.

Frisbee Golf

We went down to Blackfoot to play some Frisbee golf before we tested the odds at bingo. It was a lot of fun and the park (maybe its the John Grover park??) is a beautiful area with a beach and reservoir. There were so many families in the water but oddly none were playing Frisbee golf. I almost hit a runner with one bad throw and Chris did amazingly.

This picture truly shows my awkward form compared to the unbelievable form Chris has.

Idaho Falls

We've been in Idaho for about a month now and its starting to feel like home. These pictures are by the falls. They are gorgeous and apparently you can swim in the Snake River above the falls (like a mile or so).

These are some pictures of our apartment... the best thing about Idaho. Its nice to actually have tall ceilings and room to spread our legs. I look back at the old apartment and can't believe I lived there so long. Since we had enough room we purchased a table at Ikea, and we even invested in our future and bought a high efficiency washer and dryer.

David's Graduation

David graduated from the U of U this year and it was a ton of fun to go and see him walk. The morning was an interesting start.. I drove down from Idaho Falls and barely made it home before my mom left, but we ended up waiting for my brother to get dressed for about ten minutes. It was funny sitting in that car listening to my mom.

My dad and uncle Abbas were both able to come for the graduation and it was a lot of fun seeing them.

Easter

For Easter we were able to drive down and spend the day with my mom. It was fun coloring the eggs, but since we waited to buy the coloring packs the day of we didn't have any masterpieces to show off.

Grandma's Funeral

In March my only living grandparent past away after struggling with Bronchitis and just old age. She was such a sweet woman who lived an exciting life and had millions of kids and grand kids... there were so many relatives at the funeral and she had something like 31 or so grand kids. It was crazy to see everyone together, but it was really sad as well.

I'm scared of death but it was peaceful to see her joined with her husband who died in his 50's. I think she was ready to move on to her next big adventure.

Pictures

So I have a lot of pictures that I haven't blogged about out of lack of time, so here are a few:



Chris cooking in our old apartment in his underwear. I wanted to show a funnier one but didn't want to make anyone mad at me :)

This is the view from our condo in Tahoe... I know its pretty late to blog about spring break.

This is a picture of us driving to Tahoe probably stopping in northern Nevada because of the Burger King incident.
