These are a few pictures from a fun filled weekend we had. The one on the left is of me and my sister-in-law Kaylee who came up to visit (just days after a wonderful visit from Mom and Dad Brower- thanks for visiting!). It's was so fun having someone come up to visit us in Rexburg. Normally even those of us who live here are reluctant to come home after a trip. So for someone to volunteer to come up here was awesome.

The other pictures are from our last ditch effort to pretend that the winter isn't coming. It's wasn't a very good farce. It was super cold but we have lots of fun with Brian, Tamera and Creedance (next door neighbors). One of the highlights was when Cody shot a huge plastic die with a rifle and the thing shattered everywhere. The one piece that came right at us truned out to be where the bullet passed through so it was a bullet hole that looked awesome. Also pictured is the back of Creedance's truck with all the guns laid out. We all though that it made a really neat picture. We're such red necks! But it's lots of fun to set up targets and see how we'd do. I'm hoping to see some of you all next weekend in Logan. Exciting!

These pictures are from a few weeks ago but I thought I'd put them up anyway. And let me just say that I am so happy to have such awesome friends. Even when Cody and I proclaim that we do not have any money, they still persuade us to spend some money to do entertaining things. We all came down the day before to go to see a haunted house and stay the night in a condo. We woke up early (at 11 or so :) to head off to Lagoon for a day of fun. Even though it was no Six Flags we still had a blast till Cody threw out his back (see pictures below) and we had to abandon the day to get him back up to Rexburg. Poor baby! But he sure was a trooper- hanging around till I went on a couple more rides. He had actually already thrown out his back by the time we took our picture together.

Tonight we went to Applebee's for Veterans Day. Turns out that they give free dinners to anyone with a military ID. So they have made life time friends of us. Sometimes I take it for granted that Cody served over in Iraq, but really I am so proud for the service that he gave the country and for the dedication that he has. I'm excited to show our kids pictures of his service and tell them how brave their daddy is. I just hope that with everything political going- we won't forget what it took to get this country in the first place. May God Bless America.
