Day at the Cemetery

Memorial day is never complete without a trip to the cemetery to place flowers (and a flag) at graves.

also, for more pictures from the trip home, see here

Racing Cars

Sunrise over Northern Utah

I left for Utah for the weekend at 3:30 in the morning. One advantage to tis is that I got to see the sunrise. I'm not exactly sure where this is (I want to say around the Logan/Tremonton area of Utah, but I fell asleep on the way down, so It could even still be in Idaho for all I know. But I'm fairly certain it was Utah)

Date Cake

We made this amazing cake in my outdoor cooking class. It is made with dates (hence the name), and chocolate chips, and tastes amazing!

Mouse Traps

Wet Roots

when i first saw this, i thought it was a rock. i kept looking, and low and behold, it was a tree root.

Book Repair

only regret is that i didn't have some sort of green color to make it look better. but, it doesn't look half bad with the blue on it...

Blossoms on campus

the funny part about this picture, is that in this picture, it is sunny, with no showings of anything but a calm spring day. earlier in the afternoon, we had a blizzard come through. Love the weather in Rexburg

I also had a few other random happenings toady, see pictures of them here

Dutch Oven Turtle Cake

Fifth Grade

for one of my classes, we had a bunch of fifth graders come and we got to do activities with them for an hour and a half. It felt a lot longer than i was expecting it to. this is one of the games we played.

also, at work, we have a room for people to take tests in that has some quiet music playing. it is the same CD playing over and over and over, and tonight i finally found out what it was. I love the music, and wish i wasn't trying to save money, so i could get a copy of it. go here for a sample of the music

Payback

I've had this one planned for a while. It just was a matter of finding a time i could come and cash in on payment. :)

All night project

Also, I've come across this song in my collection. I hope you enjoy it, it gets quite powerful at the end.

on the ground

King Fisher Eggs

We went to the Henry's fork of the Snake river this afternoon, to enjoy nature and the nice weather. as we were leaving, a guy pointed these out to us. :)

the honor code

we had a lot of problems recently with guys not being "clean shaven" and having "whiskers". we've been giving out a lot of these at work.

burn, baby burn

I am taking an outdoor cooking class. It is a four hour class. we were outside for all four hours. i am no in a higher evelvation than i have been for the last 2 years without a coat. any surprise i burned?

Idaho Fields

Birthday Flowers

also, in Wilderness First Aid, we were learning CPR. we learned that we need to do our 30 compressions to the beat of this song. Maybe this will help one day when any of y'all need to do CPR :)
addtionally, we were walking back from devotional today, and saw this backpack. it made us laugh.

"Build a Marshmallow Structure"

Crafty Night

I felt in a crafty mood tonight. I made this headband (seen better here), and then the flower clip next to it. I'm looking for someone to donate the headband to, so if anyone would like it, or knows someone who would like it, let me know.

almost there

Ever since joining Adaptive Services where we went bowling every week, I've seen people get 100+ like it was nothing. I've always struggled getting over a 70. not today though. :)

a couple other pictures from today here

Flowers at the Temple

Also, I think that Friday's for the next little while are going to have some extras of my cooking class. we always make amazing stuff, and i want to be able to share. :) here is this week's edition.

fluffy white stuff

Also, the Nashville Tribute Band is comming to Rexburg soon... I'm super excited for it.

Friendly Reminder

Squirrel

it reminds me of this song. :)

major project

My teacher decided to drop this nice little present on us today. Any and all examples she showed us for this were at LEAST 30 pages long. It's due in 2.5 weeks. It's all purely research (and I haven't done any sort of real research in about 3 years) Can I freak out now?

Sunshine on Clouds

as is typical, this didn't turn out quite how i wanted it to, but it didnt turn out horrible either.

Ender's Shadow

I spent a majority of the night reading (and finishing) this book. I forgot how much i enjoyed it before. Now i'll need to find something new to read at work. any suggestions?
