HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This was a great halloween. Last saturday, we went to our annual halloween party at Brandon and Lindsay's house. They always put on the funnest party. We ate some yummy food, had a costume contest, played pinatta, did the limbo, and played murderer in the dark. There were so many creatine costumes. Thanks again brandon and Lindsay for putting on such a great party.

Gabe and I went as a cop and an x-con. Gabe looks pretty hard core huh:)

Backpacking

This past weekend we went backpacking with Gabe's parents. We went up to the uintas. Is was a little cold, but it was very pretty and nice to just get away. You are all probably thinking that we are mountain men seeing as our last three posts have been about hunting, fishing, and camping. Both of our families are the outdoorsie type, and so are we:) We got to the Uintas at about 9 at night and started hiking. It was pitch black and we had to use flash lights to see the trail. The hike was up hill the whole time and it was about a mile long. We made it to camp at about 10:30. This was my first backpacking experience with Gabe. Last christmas Gabe bought me a backpack, and i thought it was a waste because I didn't think I would ever use it, but i'm gald i have it now. We enjoyed spending the day with Don and Kristi and being able to relax at the lake and just enjoy life:)
Gabe and I geared up and ready to go.

This is Cliff lake. It was very pretty. We were wearing orange because it was the deer hunt, and we didn't want to get shot.

It looks cold, but it actually wasn't too bad:)

Final fishing trip of the season!!

We went fishing at salem ponds last Wednesday. I told Gabe that this would have to be our final fishing trip of the year because it is getting too cold to go anymore. I hate being cold, So fishing while freezing to death just isn't my favorite. Any one who knows Gabe knows that he is a hard core fisherman and will go weather it's snowing or pooring rain. He is constantly begging people in the winter to go with him. No one will ever go because they dont want to freeze to death:)Anyway, we had a fun time with our fishing buddies Jerome and Kass(our brother and sister-in-law). We caught our limit wich is 4 each and called it good. Thanks Jerome and Kass for always going fishing with us spurr of the moment:) I look forward to more fishing next year.

Fun filled weekend

On Friday I went camping with my family. We went to trout creek up by strawberry resivoure. It was really rainy and cold. The reason we were camping is because it was the elk hunt. Every year my family goes up there. The girls hang out at camp, and the men go out hunting. Gabe couldn't go, he had to work:( We didn't get to do as much as we wanted because it was bad weather. We didn't really get to ride the four wheelers. I was sad because that's always my favorite part. We just sat around the camp fire, and hung out in the trailor.














Cami, Nicole, and my Mom standin by the fire












Thanks mom and dad for always letting me and Ellie stay in your trail and eat your food!!


I came home early from the elk hunt on saturday and i went with Kristi, Mel, and Raider to Kassies baby shower. My sister-in-law Kassie is having a baby Girl in December. We are so excited for them, they will be such cute parents. The shower was fun, and she got alot of cute girly stuff!!
