Time in the Boat

We took the boat out yesterday.  We have had a few really nice Spring days with nice weather.  We didn't even see a fish let alone catch one.  It was still fun to be out.  We took a friend and his baby boy with and so that made it a little more entertaining. 

Wrestling Banquet

A week ago was the high school wrestling awards banquet and dinner.  It was fun to hear what these wrestlers had to say about their coach.  These photos show the two seniors talking about Will as their coach.  It was fun to get together with everyone again and have a nice meal.

Ice Fishing

 Will and I ventured out into the frigid cold a few weeks ago and went ice fishing with some friends from church.  It was very cold.  We had fun.  I'm glad the sun was out and shining because that helped us stay warm. 

 We caught bluegill, trout, and bass.  It was a fun day to be out!

Costumes

Our Halloween costumes!  For some reason I can't get the photo to turn upright.  We went to our church party where they had dinner and some games for the kids, and a "TRUNK-OR-TREAT".  Heidi helped with one of the games called "Pin the face on the pumpkin".  It was a blast! 

Pumpkins

 We got together at a friend's house for some pumpkin carving.  We had a great time! 

 They have a 3-week-old baby that we got to meet and hold, as well as play with their other two children.

 Will and Matt each working on one

 Winnie and Ned had fun with the pumpkins, especially blowing out the candles!

South Fork Float

We went fishing last weekend.  Our good friends Terry and Helen took us in their drift boat on the South Fork of the Snake.  We put in at Palisades dam and took out at Spring Creek bridge.  We had a blast!  WE caught fish and go to enjoy the pretty scenery.  I can't get enough of how beautiful the trees are in yellows and reds. 

This was the ice cream fish!  Our little deal with Terry and Helen is always the one who catches the biggest fish buys the ice cream.  It was awesome to catch this fish.  I was using a dry fly and got to see the fish come up from under the water and sip it up.  So awesome!  Beautiful fish.

Right when Will got on the oars and Terry started fishing, he caught about 3 fish one right after another. 

White fish!  I'm pretty sure this is my first white fish I have ever caught.  Count it as a new species for me!

Beautiful colors!  The day was pretty decent.  Kinda cold but really for October it was nice.  We got rained on a little bit but nothing a little rain gear can't stop.

Helen, Terry, and Will

The sky, mountains, trees, water, everything, was so beautiful!  We saw several eagles, a beaver, and some cattle along the way.

Will's cutthroat he caught on a streamer.  We have so much fun with Terry and Helen.  We love to give them excuses to go fishing when we visit them.

I ran a 5K!

 On Saturday I ran a 5K!  I've always wanted to do one but never have until now.  And now I'm looking forward to doing the next one.  A group of us from my work went down and did the race.  It was very fun!

 Coming into the finish line.  My goal was to run the whole time without stopping to walk and I DID IT!  I made my goal!  I am very happy about that.

Will came and watched me run and was a great support.  He also took photos for us.

Friends from Costa Rica

 Will served an LDS mission to Costa Rica.  A few weeks ago we got to visit one of the families he met while he was there.  It was fun to visit them!  It was also cool that Will got to speak Spanish to them while we visited them.
