Last week we celebrated both our birthdays. Tristan surprised me with flowers and he did a load of laundry...AND he made me a cheesecake. He wrote on top of it with pudding what you can see in the picture. What you can't see is what he wanted to write yet ran out of room. "25: Quarter to Death." Funny guy...funny funny guy. We'll see who's laughing when he turns half to death 2 years before me!!
Last year we celebrated at Cattleman's restaurant. SO good! We ate there again this year and want to make it a tradition for as long as we are here. It seems to rain every time we eat there. Well, 2 for 2. I'll update you on the ratings next year.
On Tristan's birthday I surprised him with a football. He likes to carry it around concerned with the thought that at anytime he might miss his chance to throw it to someone. Ahhh, what school does to someone with limited free time.
We went shooting with my family and Tricia took to it really well. She even got a bulls-eye. We also went up with Tricia's family to their cabin at Bear Lake. It was really fun! We had several big storms come through that were wonderful to watch. It also gave us some great lighting for pictures. 
On our last day we decided to go out to Kennecott Copper Mine. I had never been there and so we went. It proved true of its advertising to be a gigantically huge hole. However, it's a gigantically huge hole that yields 3 billion dollars ever year. It is amazing how big the trucks are. 
You can see me standing next to one of the tires and then compare it to the trucks in the picture of the hole. 
Thanks to everybody that helped us while we were out there. We miss you all so much!
