Chelse and Garett!

Last Saturday July 25 we decided to go run the Hoback. We had an amazing time and thought we would make two runs but only ended up making one fabulous one. So needless to say the water proof camera got left in the car. We stopped at Lunch counter and some of us rode threw in our life jackets. It was pretty exciting I must admit. We also stopped at the Rock and Ashley jumped off along with others. Way to go Ash-she is affraid of heights-or should I say way to go Ryley for pushing her!

HaPPy FatHeRs DAy-DaD

For the past three years our family has gone to the local air show in Rexburg. A local aviator, John Bagley, puts on the air show all at his expense. John has a lot of WWII air planes that take flight and roar in the sky as they buzz the airport every year along with friends that have planes that come and join him. This year as I was sitting in my lounge chair watching the airplanes fly by and do all their amazing tricks as I looked around at my boys-Ry, Garett, and Easton, along with Chelse and my husband Devin I realized how come I love coming to the air show and always feel a peace and sense of calm. My Dad was a pilot and enjoyed flying and taking people to places for the weekend. I always knew when my Dad was home from a trip because he would fly over our house-or buzz the house to let us know to go to the airport and pick him up. The level of excitment would raise as we would here the roar of the plane flying over head. We lived next to a mountain so it was a little tricky for my Dad not getting to close but close enough that he would have a ride home. I remember time after time driving across town to get to the airport and the excitement of picking him up. In January of 1979 my Dad left for a usual trip to California only this time he was never able to buzz the house again. His plane crashed just after take off at the Spanish Fork Airport. So as I sat at the air show on June 20 I got the feeling again and again that my Dad was coming home. It was like I got to spend the day with my Dad. I love the sound of an airplane flying over head. Thanks Dad and I love you!!

RyLeY and ChELsE are OfFicaLLy EnGaGed

This is Ry and Chelse getting ready to start their adventure. Chelse finally gets to see what Ryley has up his sleeve. They decided to ride Devin's motorbike on their date. Ry made a scavanger hunt going places that they had been on dates and other fun things they have done together.

Ryley and Chelse arrive at Crest Creek, half froze but in love!

Chelse gets her first clue. Ry made he hike all the way to the top to get it and then take the long road to hike to the bottom
.

Snapping pictures along the path.

Chelse get her second clue at our house.

The third clue at the apartment building where they meet-officially.

The splash park-yeah she had to go down the slide to get it-good thing there was no water or should I say ice-dang its cold here.

The next clue was suppose to have a tandem bike to ride for the next half of the adventure but they were all rented out-that is why the sad face.

Danny and Branae do you recognize this bush?

This clue was in the locked cases at D.I., one of their favorite places to hit the bargins.

Millhallow, Chelse's favorite spot to eat-they picked up some sandwiches while they were there.

SnowOasis-Chelse's next favortrite spot. A true Idahoian can eat snow cones even when it is freezing outside! Did we mention that Chelse is from Bear Lake, Idaho.

Ryley made Chelse a long board that he hand painted-the picture was one that Chelse had doodled clear back in September that Ryley had kept.

Ry and Chelse eating their food finally after he proposed-the proposal is on a video. They are sitting on the blanket that Ry made for Chelse with her favorite pair of jeans being sewed to the center because they were beyond repair. Ry put the ring in the pocket of the jeans and she felt the box when she sat on the quilt.

The ring and now it is offical-tenative date August 21!
