No one really has to read this post, its going to be long and kind of rambling. Its mostly just so I get it down. I am finding that my blog is turning in to my journal. I am much more likely to do this than write it down on paper. And I really want to get some scrapbooking done, but I haven't for a while, so its my scrapbooking too.
This Easter was a little different for us. We were going to go to Kimberly, but I had things going on in this neck of the woods, so we're holding off on Kimberly for a while.
Friday night I drove to Idaho Falls. I hung out with Abby and mom a bit and then picked dad up from the Salt Lake Express stop at 12:30 A.M. My poor mom was trying to figure out how she was going to be able to stay up and get him so I offered to do it. The next day I went to my cousin, Christie Call's baby shower. It was at Uncle Gary's house. Christie is the cutest pregnant lady! She is going to be a great mom. They are naming the baby Lynnli Dene. She got so much stuff at the shower! I made a knitted bib for her. Anyway, it was fun to see family there and chat a bit.
After the shower I drove back to Salmon with grandma and grandpa Stucki following me. They came up because Lindsey's husband Tyson got ordained to be an elder at Stake Conference today. They got to see our house, which they liked, but Grandma wasn't too impressed with Ginger. Every time people come over Ginger turns in to a slight nuisance. She doesn't jump on people as much as she used to, but she gets so excited and can't contain herself - kind of how I was when I was little and visitors came to the house....
It was neat to have stake conference on Easter Sunday. I really enjoyed the talks - which were mostly about how we can find happiness and how we are meant to be happy. It was special to be there for Tyson's ordination and to sit with my grandparents. I love them so much and am grateful for everything they do for me. They really are wonderful people and I'm so glad I have been able to be a part of their lives.
Later, we opened the Easter bags that mom sent up with me. That was fun! I love it when she does cute things for us! Then we just hung out, not doing too much. It was nice to have a relaxing day. I am glad that we get to celebrate the huge sacrifices that our Savior made for us every year. I am so thankful for all that He did for us and have a testimony that He loves us. I hope everyone had a great day!

Fun in Stanley!
We were invited to go to Stanley with some friends last weekend. It was a good time and cool because we were going to the cabin that we stayed at on our honeymoon. We got to be pretty lazy which was nice. I got to shoot a b-b gun for the first time and wasn't too bad at it. I played a new game - 99 or bust. We made ice cream in a bag, watched some movies, had a camp fire in the snow, and spent time with some awesome people. After I got back I felt thankful to live in Salmon instead of Stanley since there was still 4 feet of snow on the ground!
On the drive back we saw a guy by his truck on the other side of the river trying to put a spreading fire out with a shovel. We tried to see if we could get over to him and couldn't so we stopped by some people walking in Clayton and asked if they could call someone about it. Anyway, as we were driving we saw about 5 forest service firetrucks go out and an ambulance. We will probably never know what happened, but we sure hope that guy was ok. It was strange to see a fire so out of hand at this time of year.
And pictures!
This is where we stayed - the Bully Barn on a couple of cots because Joe couldn't bear to let Ginger sleep by herself. He's such a softie! Anyway it was still nice and warm in there. Ginger had a great time playing with the boys and in the snow!
Ice cream in a bag
The camp fire area that Ken and Kristina dug out. A lot of work!
I'm so glad that they had us up there. It was good to get away for a bit even if it was still winter where we went. I had been feeling a little jealous because my parents and Katie and Adam went on a cruise to Mexico, and Abby and Nate went to Arizona that same week. We still had a great time!

A fun drive
Yesterday we went on a drive to Haynes Creek. It was about 5 miles from our house and very pretty. Ginger had a blast playing in the mud. We really live in a beautiful place!
A great day!
Wednesday was my 26th birthday. I feel kind of old, and yet not - because I know Joe will always be older! :-) Love you honey! Anyway, they spoiled me at work. I got there and they had balloons all over the walls and happy birthday signs. I celebrated with the boss' wife because her birthday was the week before. They also got us flowers which are beautiful. We had pizza for lunch and Bonnie made us a cake (angel food with an amazing chocolate pudding frosting). They gave me some presents which I will post a picture of.

After work Joe and I went out to dinner at what we thought was an Italian place called Ungaretti's . In fact it used to be all Italian, but they are getting away from that for some reason... Anyway, we got hamburgers which were really good, just not what we had expected. I also got an Italian soda. We then went on a drive. It really was a good day!
This is a gift that my Aunt Sue sent me. It contained a card, some P.E.Z. candy and dispenser, and this toy for Ginger. I think it is funny that Ginger got a toy for my birthday! She loves it!
