Lookie It's Snow! wow! the first snow of the year down here, can you believe it!
that's really all we get till Jan or Feb (sometimes a little more) but then only like 2 inch at most, and you still can see the grass through the snow...... -_- I don't like how it snows down here!

Upton's Tabernacle

Hey! I just got back from the Upton's Tabernacle. It was a lot of fun! Lai and I slept under the stars the last two nights. The first night was the coldest out of the two, but it was the clearest night. Oh, so many stars. *sigh* I think that was the first time I've ever just slept on the ground without a tent. I kept waking up in the middle of the night about every hour or so. I got to see a lot of stars and how the night changed into morning, also I saw 3 shooting stars! The first one was when everybody was at the camp fire, and my brother Josh pointed it out everybody had time to turn and look at it. It was huge! Saturday night the teen's/kids danced we did the posty dance and the virginia reel. Before my family and I left to come home, I got to ride Lai's horse barebacked. Then I got Lai to hop on with me. The horse I guess didn't like where I was sitting on her. So, she lightly bucked us off. Lai, I think got a foot down and I was holding on to her, so I think she slowed my fall. I still landed on my butt and then hit my head. All I saw of hooves I got up as fast as I could.

Our sleeping spot!

Our Creation

Well, my Brother and I made lunch today. We kinda just made it up on the spot. It was some kind of beef stir fry. It had Chuck beef steaks, All colors of bell peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, and serrno peppers. Everything was sliced thinly. When we added the serrno peppers in to the mix, the smell was so strong in the air, that I had to open the window. If you stood in the kitchen for more then 30 seconds you would start to cough your head off.
My Brother went and got a mask so he could finish stirring it up. It was a lot of fun.
It was really spicy too. We added Szechuan sauce and it made it even more spicy :)
We also had some rice with it. Yummy! My Brother and I love to go buy fresh food and then cook things like this and we always have to take pictures of it. Anway I hope this looks really good to you! Ja!

Shaina's Wedding

Hey! Sorry it took me forever to get this up. I've been busy working almost everyday at my job. My boss went out of town so, I've had to take care of the shop with the designer. Anyway enough about me. I hope you guys enjoy this. It starts out with the day before the wedding. I watch as they practice out where and what they want the family's to do in the wedding.
I think Shaina and Ryan's wedding is the best wedding I've been to.

When we got hot from the sun we just would jump into the water. Our Houseboat had a slid so that was fun. We had our own little cove, My Uncle brought their speed boat and alot of water ski's. I tryed to get up on them but, it didn't work :( Anyway I've got more Pic's that I will upload soon. Enjoy them :)
