Fire Sky

One day it as really really windy. There are some world renowned sand dunes like 10 miles away from the burg and the wind kicked up a bunch of sand. 

Later that evening, due to the high winds there was a huge brush fire about 50 miles from us. Between the sand and the smoke it was a pretty erie sunset. 

Grand Targhee

For those of you who might not know, Lance got a job at Grand Targhee Resort. It's awesome, he loves it! It is where we usually go to snow board and where we now go to downhill bike (thanks to the free season passes we got as a perk for employee's and their dependents.) This is just one of the beautiful views of the Grand Teton's Lance gets to see everyday on his 

way to work.

At the top of the mountain there is still snow. Like alot. It's warm though 

(as long as there isn't a breeze)

Here is Lance at the downhill trail head. Downhilling is super hard and intense. Its not hard like a cardio workout or anything but hard as in trying to keep control of your bike as your screaming down the mountain trying to avoid rocks, trees, and animals. I wreck alot and I mean alot. I get all bruised up but its still so fun.

Real New Car

So that Mini Cooper is not really my car if you still didn't know. It is my boss's but I did get to drive it from Provo to Rexburg (about a 4 hour drive) I drove the whole way with the top down though and got a wicked sun burn. My bad. This is our real new (old) car. It is a '97 Chevy Caviller. It runs pretty good and Lance averages about 37 mils per gal. whoa. It needed some body work though so thats what we did on the 4th of July (fun fun right.)

Sanding away AND working on my tan. Who says I can't multitask.  I did get a blister on my thumb by the way from sanding so much. 

Here is the crappy hood. We patched that too. 

You can't really see it be thats it all patched and primered up. Yeah we have a two tone car but at least it won't rust through!

New Car!!

Don't you love my new car! 

I DO!! OH YEAH!!

What more can I ask for?

He cooks...

He sews...

 He also cleans, but I didn't get any pics because he usually does that while I'm not home.

Plus in a jar of mixed nuts, he only likes the peanuts. That's right. I got a winner.

Hiking and Biking!

Since there is no more snowboarding we have started hiking and biking. These are a few of the tons of pics we've taken so far.

How do you like my flaming red hair? I like it. Its a little duller now but still pretty bright. It is also shining pretty bright because the sun is setting on it.

This is so cool. It is in Cress Creek in a canyon about 30 min from our house. The light color on top of the rock is not snow, its stone. When a volcano erupted a long time ago the ash flying through the air was so hot that when it landed on this rock it instantly cooled and became this cool smooth stone.

He likes to be daring.

I have never seen a crane in the top of a tree before. That was so cool.

This is a tunnel we biked too close to Mesa Falls. It was the first tunnel for the first passenger train to Yellowstone. It was built to help avoid rock slides on the tracks but even on the first day it was opened the train was delayed over an hour due to a rock slide.

This is on the other side of the tunnel. Note the watch for falling rock sign. It was a really pretty ride. We were way up high over the warm river. 

Unfortunately not everywhere is bikable yet. We still tried and had a fun time slippin and sliding and getting all muddy and snowy.

More snowboarding

I have so many snowboarding pics. Here are a few more that I like from later in the season.
