A weekend away in Twin Falls {Good to come HOME}

This past weekend we snuck away to Twin Falls for a whole 4 days! As usual our days are completely packed while we are there between both families, friends, and relatives :)

 

Jordan's sister, Kerin, loves to play volleyball. Jordan and I used to play on a rec league here in Lewiston as well. Kerin set up a game with a bunch of her friends and I got to go and watch them play! It was definitely intense and some good games!

 

One set of my grandparents were out of town visiting Arizona for my cousin's graduation, but nevertheless, Grandma Rice made sure that I was stocked up with my favorite stuff when we came even though they wouldn't be there! SO excited! I love this stuff!! It is the best :)

 

.

We had fun hanging out with both families and visiting friends. The day before we left, it was warm enough to take the jet skiis out with my parents for the first time of the season! I was soooo excited! My dad knew how much I was itching to go, so he made sure they were summerized by the time we came to visit :) It was a warm afternoon and we were able to have a fun picnic down at Shoshone Falls and then ride! Despite getting tipped over by my wonderful husband and getting dunked in the river, it was a great night with family!

 

 

 

Because we were so busy with things planned, I didn't have much time for photography sessions, but I made sure to squeeze in a few!! I did a super fun birthday shoot that I am editing right now so here is a few from the session....

 

 

On the way home, we met my grandparents in Boise at Olive Garden for some dinner. YUM!! The drive home was long and felt even longer beings that part of it was in the dark. Not a fan. Leave it to Jordan to keep things interesting though... With a few hours left of the drive, it started downpouring in the mountains which were already pitch black. He decided to be funny and roll my window down, in the downpouring rain, going 75mph.....Ya needless to say I wasn't a happy camper. What can I say though, he keeps things interesting!!

 

We are so grateful for summer and the opportunity for us to visit home several times thanks to good weather and good roads! We will be back in a few weeks to spend time with Arizona family before my cousin Riley leaves on his mission to England!! So proud of him!! and then back for the 4th of July for sure :) LOVE family.. It seriously is the best thing in life!!!

 

We are getting back into the swing of things in Lewiston after the visit. We were welcomed back with Jordan getting food poisoning from Buffalo Wild Wings, rainy weather ALL week, and all the unpacking from traveling :( Go figure! The upside to all of this.... I snapped this awesome picture after some rain we had after seeing The Fast and the Furious 6 in theatre. I have never seen a rainbow this big!! I couldn't even fit it all into one picture!!

 

 

Looking forward to a fantastic Memorial Day with friends :)

 

 



Bring on ::Summer 2013::

The weather has warmed up and we are sooooo excited for Summer!! Lewiston is right above sea level so it is the hottest place in Idaho and can get up to 110 degrees in the Summer!! Whew! We didn't really have a "warm period". It went from cold to hot and has been scorching ever since. Last week it was 95 outside for several days. I took a picture on my way home from work to prove we were in the 90's :) Yes we cranked on the AC and enjoyed the sunshine and being able to do things outside finally!!

Sporting some Summer colors and crazy curly hair!!

Speaking of nice weather, we are LOVING the new car :) Nice weather takes on a whole new meaning when you can open the sunroof and catch some rays! The maxima got it's first car wash and it was so sparkling clean, I couldn't resist taking a pic of it. Ya it is kind of my baby :)

Sunroof down and driving to Spokane...Ohhhhh yeah :) Funny faces and good music!

After 8 months of working at Chief Joseph Dental Clinic, my status has now been made name plate official, finally!! It has been quite a ride, but I am grateful for a good paying job that I thoroughly enjoy :) I work with and for some good people and have a great schedule. Things have been intensly busy lately! Recently, I went and ran the Oregon office for a day while some staff was gone. It is located in Joseph, OR and it is quite the drive! It is super windy and is about 2 hours away! I had to leave at like 6am to get there in time for patients, so I was a bit grumpy, but the sunrise view was amazing!!

A couple weeks ago, we celebrated my birthday :) It was a pretty crummy day, but Jordan made it special when I got off work! We went and ate at Rooster's, which is a super yummy place right by the river in Clarkston. Jordan brough home flowers and a sweet card and spoiled me with a new lens for my photography and an itunes card to download some new tunes :) we just spent the night together relaxing and he later sang happy birthday to me, complete with candles in the gallon of mint chocolate chip icecream. Ya we are kinda silly!

I recently tried out my new lens with some friends of ours :) They have a sweet boy Isaac that they will be finally adopting in 2 weeks, so we had some fun by the water with him taking some sweet shots! Check them out! I can't offically post the full album until he is officially adopted in 2 weeks, so here is a few teasers!


We have been pretty much living in Spokane these last several weekends for Jordan's work! While we have been there, we have done some fun things :) A few weeks ago while we were there, we went to an antique show and I scored a vintage cradle to do newborn sessions with! SO excited to do a session with it! We have ate some good food, seen some amazing sunsets, and went to see a few movies and shopping too.

As usual, Jordan has been running himself ragged with work and family obligations. He never stops I swear! Always getting things done and working hard. So proud of such a hardworking husband! He has been out of town the last few days and finally came home yesterday! I suprised him with a crapload of basketball cards that I found at a thrift store. He was so excited to sort them all and see all the good rookie cards. What a find! He has collected basketball cards since he was a little kid and that is one of his only hobbies that he can squeeze in right now in between work and life! He had fun spending all night sorting them :)

Despite being extremely busy always working, he always seems to sneak in some time to surprise me at work with lunch here and there and just when I need it the most with having a super busy and stressful day!

We have enjoyed spending time with friends on a regular basis! Some friend of ours have a couple super cute kids that get to hang out with sometimes! We watched them the other night and took them to park and hung out with them at the house. So much fun! We love miss Remi and Isaac :)

That's about all I have to report...whew! Lots of pictures, but I know you aren't surprised by that one! Hope you are enjoying your warming up weather, we sure are!!
