Book Of Mormon Tour

We had the great opportunity to go on the Book of Mormon tour in Central America. We started off in Mexico City then traveled through Mexico stopping off in several places and then on to Guatemala. After Guatemala we traveld to Honduras for around two days and then went to Guatemala city where we ended our tour. It was a very interested tour. The tour started off a little bumpy due to airplanes being cancelled and everyone going on different planes but ended well, all except for Rob getting sick on the last day. It would take me forever to write down everything that we learned and saw so I will just post a couple of pictures from our tour.

Summer Time

Well it has been way too long since we last posted. Sorry. Life has been pretty hectic with moving and just everything else.


So the month of June was amazing. We were able to spend a week with Robs family in Colorado. We all pitched in some money and rented a beautiful cabin. It was great to see all of Rob's family. Everyone was there except for Jess, but he had a good excuse. (he is on his mission in Russia!) Each day a couple would make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For dinner, Rob and I decided to make spaghetti. Well being the new cooks that we are, we really didn't know how much spaghetti to cook for 14 people. Well I think the picture explains it all. Holy spaghetti!!!

It also snowed for three days while we were down there. Can you believe it's June!!!!
Here are some other photos from our trip
Britney, Anthony, Megan, and Finlay

Mikelle, Anthony and Alex went on a treasure hunt. This is what they found buried under some rocks.


It was great to get together as a family!! We all had such a great time. Hopefully we can do this next year when Jess gets home.

We're still alive

Well neither of us is very good at updating this blog. Britney has apparently decided that it is her duty to change the background from time to time so I guess she must think it is my job to do the writing. Oh well I guess I can't really complain. I started a blog back in the summer and as soon as I broke my arm that went out the window. Maybe i'll update that one while i'm at it. We'll see how into it I get by the end of this.

We had a great Christmas with our families. We spent the whole time up in Boise this year. We were able to spend time with my parents before they left for Soda Springs and then the rest of the time was with the Richardson's. I got an IPOD touch for christmas with the excuse that I needed it for school. It will be useful when I get going this semester and the next two years, but I am having a lot of fun just playing games on the thing. So far I haven't allowed myself to pull it out in class to play. I haven't been too bored yet. Our break was nice and relaxing most of the time, but it was fun.

When we got home there was some great news in the mailbox for Britney. She got her GRE test results back and it turns out that she passed that dang test that she studied so hard for. Now she just has to decide what she wants to do with her pretty little life. She is having a great time teaching preschool to 3 and 4 year olds in the Small Talk speech pre school and also teaching piano. She now has 5 students.

We'll see how the blogging goes in the future. Maybe the next update will be sooner than 2 months.
