The past few weeks

Since I can't keep up with blogging very well lately, this is an update of the past couple weeks. :)

We went camping! We took our parents trailer and found a nice little place up grover park. It was good to get a little wilderness time. Mark is an excellent fire builder.

I was in the Logan Herald Journal with my Pal, Aubrey. It was a great opportunity! I have had a ton of parents and students email me about wanting to be in the program. We fed the ducks at first dam in this picture. What you cannot see is our fear of the geese (well you can see it a little, because we are on the table). These geese had 8 little babies and were chasing us around barking at us. Terrifying. Click here for the article.

This is Jasper....he is a boy... in a family of lots of girls.

Poor dog. I love having awesome sisters!

Bear Lake with the Walker's and new cute swimsuits! I like this picture!

Carla's kitchen part dos. Mark raised their cabinets 9 inches! He put crown molding around the top and new shelves in below and in the bathroom. I LOVE the shelves. They are free standing, so no supports on the bottom, so cute! All that is left to do is paint and hang the doors again. Click here to see Carla's kitchen part uno.

More work on the trailer! It looks amazing. Detailed pictures to come. He just finished putting in a shelf and the dust collection system.

ALSO, Thanks to the genius Thorups, Matt and Carla, Mark has an awesome new "business"/blog name --- Mark's Traveling Toolbox. It will look great on the side of his trailer! His blog is now travelingtoolbox.blogspot.com.

Updates

This last semester was a VERY successful for the both of us. We both finished with above a 3.5! It's nice to win one :)

We have spent the last two weeks hanging with this little guy. He has been so freakin adorable. My favorite is when we come out of a room to see him patiently sitting and waiting for us, or how he farts in Mark's face, or his Bad A cage fitting with Jasper (Walker dog), or how his name fits perfectly in everything, in every song, saying, etc. We love the little guy and have had fun with him. Matt and Carla get home from Spain on Sat.


Sunday is Justin's farewell talk! He is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. WOW I can't believe this time has come. I am so stinkin proud of him and SO excited for him! It will be fun to write a missionary in a few weeks. He enters the MTC on June 9th and is going to San Franando CA! Congrats and good luck to him! We will be in Star Valley that day.

We are just roaming free this summer, sorta. Mark has had the opportunity to do a couple jobs here in Salt Lake and I am doing some work for my Logan job from home. Things are going well. We have started a blog for Mark "portfolio," (click here to see it!) hopefully this will help keep him busy with jobs this summer. The blog is still a work in progress. He has already got 3 or 4 other jobs lined up, so we will be jumping from SV to Salt Lake, to Logan quite a bit this summer. So far its been great.

Ya for friends! I have seen Kyli and Hannah a few times while being down here. We have had so much fun! Chase and Brooklyn are growing fast and man they are adorable! I stole this pic from Hannah's blog because I love it! Chase is "a bit" bigger than Brooklyn. I love it! They are both so cute! Thanks Hannah and Kyli!
