For the 4th weekend we went to josh's house to meet some of his family. i got to milk a cow for the first time i even squirted milk straight into my mouth! it was delicious. i even got to bottle feed the new baby calf! it was such a fun trip to see his house and animals and family here are a few pics of the weekend.

Fourth of July Fun

Had a Fourth of July Picnic with a few buddies. It was fun. I made Martha Stewart's recipe for rosemary potatoes and cooked them over a fire, blue pistachio salad, watermelon, homemade lemonade and a flag cake. we did a few fireworks and even a few rounds of the stick pull. some cows even joined us at the river a whole herd was right by us it felt really all- american. it was a lovely way to celebrate the holiday!

Happy hikers

Josh and i have been going on so many fun adventures lately... Saturday we went to a place called the pallisades about an hour or so from rexburg. about a 6 mile hike total we had lots of fun laughing and seeing all the beauty. I got snapped at by a snake, we saw a moose, got to pet lots of horses that were on the trail, we packed a lovely lunch and loved just being together. here are a few pics from the day..

Sun Roasted

josh and i went to the river and had a lovely day enjoying one of the first nice weather days all summer... we brought cheeto puffs, and icees, and good music and i was so excited to finally be enjoying summertime. the river was lovely and we even saw a moose which was cool...
i was extra white so excited to get a little color on my skin but unfortunately lobster red was not what i was going for. I have been in bed for the like 12 hours in complete pain. i cant walk or anything sleeping was miserable cant even move i am in serious pain. sunscreen will be my new best friend next time i go out in the sunshine. here are some pics of the day.
