Enjoying some SNAKE river..

March 6Th...
We took a day walking and riding by the SNAKE RIVER! it's really pretty.. but still COLD and WET!!
Brakken took this picture of us..

Joel and i carried the scooter for Brakken most of the time.. Brakken didn't want to get this FEET WET.. Silly boy.. to much like his mom! this is Maddie riding his bike while Joel is keeping up with him.. while Brakken and i walked really slow so we could eat some snacks and enjoy ourselves..

We keep forgetting to bring bread with us.. We have ducks on the river!! lucky us..

Brakken wanted me to pull him so he wouldn't have to kick.. just enjoying the ride..

Smiling so i could get a picture of my HANDSOME boys!

Brakken and Madden are kinda a ways from us.. and Maddie is going to FAST on his bike.. while Brakken is RUNNING next to him... SUPER FAST!! While Joel is having some fun holding the scooter..

i really like it here.. Not much to do in the winter but LOTS to do in the warm parts of the year.. We are planning to FEED the BABY BEARS before we move.. Bear World here we come!

Dear John...

So i know.. it's been awhile!!
Well it's Feb 5Th.. and Joel and i are celebrating the LOVE day.. Went to dinner with some friends while some other friends watched the boys while we caught a late night movie!! so Dear John was what i wanted to see.. cuz Channing was in it.. he is BEAUTIFUL!! and i was so DEPRESSED after watching it.. :( What a crummy ending.. when we picked up the boys from the L's house.. i saw that Kayla was reading the book "Dear John" and i wanted to read it after she got done.. and i did AND cried like 3 times.. so DEPRESSING!!!!!! the book was more depressing than the movie.. Well lets end this post with some Good Looking Faces..
Joel and i after the movie!!
Me in front of the NEW movie FAVs that i JUST LOVE!! and Edward.. or Robert.. whatever you prefer! i can't wait!! I'm so EXCITED to say the least!
I had a great LOVE day with Joel!! I'm glad that we have each other and i wouldn't and COULDN'T think of anyone better to spend my life with!

Crazy Iddy Hoans..

i got this from my mom... and LOVED it!! Here is goes..

Copper Wire

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story in the LA Times read: "California archaeologists, finding of 200 year old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers".
One week later. A local newspaper in Idaho reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Weiser, Idaho . Bubba, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Idaho had already gone wireless".
Just makes a person proud to live in Idaho , don't it?

things that COME out of Brakken's mouth...

Well Madden has been struggling with his hands in his pants for a LONG time now.. and so today i told him to get his hands out of his pants.. Well he gave me this look like why?? well i responded with "if you keep touching it it's going to FALL OFF!! and you could go BLIND!!!" and Brakken responded REALLY fast i might add.. with "is that what happen to you mom???" and it took me awhile to pull myself together after a comment like that.. and i said.. "no Brakken girls don't get wee wee's".. and he replied with laughter and "YES huh!".... What a stinker!! and a fast thinker! must get it from his dad..

Another thing he said awhile ago.. was he was wondering why i didn't have the same privates has him, dad, and brother.. and i tell him that i have different parts than boys.. And he replied with "you broke yours off and now you don't have a wee wee.."

I tell my mom every time Brakken says things like that and she told me i need to write it down.. well i'm typing it.. and now i well see it forever!

I love you Brakken and all the CRAZY things that come out of your mouth! i hope that you keep up the wit. and you are AMAZING!
