Fun in Rock Springs

By -
We were able to go to Brad's parents house in Rock Springs, WY for a few days. Brad & his dad, Vaughn had planned a fishing trip to Tomahawk Lake in the Wind Rivers.

We got to Rock Springs late Tuesday (14th) night. They got up Wednesday morning at 6am and headed out fishing. They had to drive a few hours and then hike in about 5 miles. They came back later that night with great sucess. They were able to find lots of fish to catch. Needless to say, they were sore, sunburned, mosquito bitten, and tired. Here are a few pictures:


While the boys were out fishing, I stayed home with Elaine (Brad's mom) and helped out with the kids. She runs a day care business in her home. We took the kids to story time at the library and to the movie The Tale of Despereaux. It was fun and the kids enjoyed the movie. After all the kids were gone, Elaine, Lisa (Brad's sister) and I went out to eat and shopping. We found a few exciting things.

Chena got to play with all the day care kids and they loved her. She was there little doll for a few days. Elaine has some play houses in the back yard and they would put her in the house &"play house". They actually had a real dog to "play house" with. She was cute.

Thursday moring, Brad & Vaughn got up early to go golfing. They had a great time. We spent the rest of the morning just hanging around the house.

Over the weekend, Brad lost his grandma (Vaughn's mother). She has been sick for a while and it is good that she is not suffering anymore. We know she is in a better place, with her Heavenly Father & others that have passed. We will be heading to Boise next weekend for a funeral. Our hearts, prayers & thoughts are with the whole Huntsman family for their loss at this time.

Thank you Elaine, Lisa & Vaughn for a great time in Rock Springs! We ♥ you guys

Sounds like a great trip, of course I do not golf or fish.

Sorry to hear about your loss. But what an exciting time for her to be back with family members that have already passed.

DIY Storage Bed

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized).  As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs.  A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half.   I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback.  I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go.  I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed.  Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer.  To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate.  I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th.  I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually complet...

YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. ON OUR WAY BACK FROM SODA SPRINGS, WE HAD TO STOP IN POCATELLO AND DROP OFF THOSE SILLY LIFE JACKETS AND OARS @ THE ISU OUTDOOR CENTER. IT STARTED TO HAIL AND RAIN LIKE CRAZY AS WE GOT INTO POKY. THERE WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES OF STANDING RAIN AND THE PUDDLES WERE HUGE. SO WE GOT CLOSER TO IDAHO FALLS, IT STARTED TO CLEAR UP. WHEN WE GOT TO IDAHO FALLS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO HIT SOME BALLS AT THE DRIVING RANGE. BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, THE CLOUDS HAD MOVED IN AND IT STARTED TO RAIN & HAIL AGAIN. WE WERE STUCK AT THE GOLF COURSE UNTIL IT CLEARED UP A LITTLE. AFTER ALL THAT RAIN, THE FRONT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX LAWN WAS FLOODED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHENA TO GET HER IN THE WATER. SHE IS GETTING MUCH BETTER. SHE LOVED IT. WE HAD A FUN 45 MINUTES PLAYING IN THE PUDDLE.
