better late than never

Well, I realize that it has been quite a while since I last posted, but it's better late than never. I've even been a slacker, because I haven't even been taking very many pictures to document what has been going on these past weeks. However, with the few I have, I hope to do a little catching up on my blog.

***A few weeks after General Conference, Jason and I went down to visit Jenn and Brandon. They took us to Cabela's which is a pretty big store full of every sporting goods things you can imagine. They have massive stuffed animals and really old fancy guns (like the ones they show in old westerns). They even have a huge fish aquarium! While we were there, Jason and I voted on the best looking dead animal they had on the wall in one of the section of the store. Now, I'm not sure which one we ended up choosing, but we did vote. We enjoyed looking around there and testing some of the stuff out (hence the picture of Jason in the camping chair....it was the most comfortable one, according to Jason). Brandon and Jenn also took us to a really good resturant, Typanyanki (?). The cook makes the food right in front of you, which is really entertaining. We really loved eating there! Brandon and Jenn were fun to hang out with. Thanks guys! (and sorry I don't have a picture with all of us, Jenn. I'm a slacker.)

***Did you know that there is such a think as a "wild cow milking contest" at a rodeo? I had no idea that that even existed, well, and I didn't even know that Health Days had a rodeo at all. I'm a bit out of the loop. Jason's roommate got him into being apart of his team to go out in the big arena...well for Smithfield city...and rope in this wild animal. If you think this sounds odd, it is and it's just about the funniest thing to watch these grown men chasing these wild cows.
***Shortly after our weekend with the Muirs, Jason came down sick with bronchitis for about a week and and half. He really didn't care for just hanging around his apartment, so it was a long week for him. By the time, Memorial day rolled around, Jason was feeling better. We went shopping and went out to Lewiston for some good family time and food (dutch oven potatoes and chicken, courtesy of Dad). We stayed out there for most of the day playing games and being with the family.

***On the weekend of the 28th of May, Jason and I traveled to Burley to be with his family. Saturday I woke up late to find that Jason had risen quite early (6:00 a.m. I might add) and had the garage all cleaned out and was moving on to removing weeds next to the house. But with these weeds, you would think a weed eater would be the answer. Well, Jason decided to do it another way. He took a wack at the weeds with his machete knife from the mission. It was quite the day, but we got some work done. While we were there, Jason dad, the chef, fixed us a wonderful meal before we left on Sunday. We had great time again with the Pollards. Thanks for letting us come stay!
***For those of you that don't know, Jason is a really really good cook. He definately is the better cook out of the two of us. The other Sunday, Jason offered to make dinner. In the end, he ended up making dinner for eight friends and family, and it was so good. Afterwards, we watched Meet the Robinsons with everyone and just enjoyed each others company.
