Missing the Mountains











Unfortunately there aren't any mountains right in Twin Falls so we've been spending the last several weekends taking road trips to the hills. It's been awesome. First we went to Stanley for a weekend of intense cross-country skiing. The scenery was spectacular--some of the most impressive terrain I've ever seen. We had two beautiful sunny days. We spent the night at a little hot springs resort. While soaking in the springs you looked right up at the peaks (the view from the springs is the fourth pic up). Pretty awesome. Then last weekend we spent the long weekend down in UT visiting all our friends and enjoying a little ski getaway. Erich's very fun niece and nephew attend BYU so we hooked up with them for some Downhill and cross-country skiing.
In between our little trips we've been busy laughing at our little boy. He is definitely fiesty but also a whole lot of fun. His favorite thing of the week is bringing us a blanket and having us pull him around on it--the magic blanket ride. At last he's starting to say more words. The most exciting of which is "Geese". Erich was outside in the garage and Jake pointed to Erich's goose decoys and said "geese". Should I be worried already?!?

you are really a great picture capturer--whoever is taking these pics! I especially love seeing Erich with his morning coffee outside of the car!

Stanley is awesome! That is where Jeff's family always goes in July for the archery shoot. Love the scenery pictures you always get. Just gorgeous.

Beautiful scenery - you make me want to get outside more, and not just in my yard facing a major road... out in the unpopulated areas. It was great seeing you! I wish it was for longer or occurred more often. Please come again. We can catch another chick flick and let the boys watch the kids.

I told Dusty the other day that we really need to get into cross country skiing and snowshoeing...things we can do more easily with Gage. Love all your pics! I really want to see some more house pics!!! Miss ya girl. ;)
