Bud's in ISLAND PARK

The Buds go to Michelle's Family Cabin alone. It was all you can
imagine a boys trip to be!Self Portraits on the snake river! Here is Cam!

Kory! Looking stunning!

And Jon~ took his own self portrait and Cam snuck in!

Here is Cam and Jon ~ they learned quick that hiking through 5 + feet of snow
gets kinda HOT after awhile!

So there is SO much snow that they can stand on the second
story roof and of course they just had to jump off into the snow~ Here is Jon!

Cam's looks awesome...

And Kory....

Sleding down the hill! They had to park on the other side of this hill
and hike into the cabin with all their gear!

Relaxing on the boat dock!

Kory touching the second story roof~

And Jon! All the snow from the roof came down in the middle of the night
after they warmed it up inside... it scared them!

Kory used the timer for this picture and tried to run and get in.
He made it pretty far in that much snow!

Jon being.....Jon

Silly Cam!

The boys dug a 50 foot tunnel in the snow from the door out
to the laundry line. This is the fort at the end of the tunnel!

They made 'fox holes' in the middle of the tunnel so they could throw
out snow inside of trying to take it back to the opening everytime.

This is from the fort looking back along the tunnel. Jon and Cam are standing
in the fox holes!

Here is Cam crawling through. With Jon on his heels!

Here is the tunnel!

This is from the door way looking at the fort where Jon is tired from digging!

Here is Cam in the fort!

And Kory in fox hole!

And Cam in the tunnel

Kory warming his feet by the fire!

They didn't have gram crackers to make smores so they used recess
peanut butter cups!

Drying out all their snow gear by the fire!

Playing cards!

They all slept in the same room with the fire to stay warm.

They just brought a matress from a bedroom!

The Cabin! They slide down to the door to get in everytime!

SO MUCH SNOW!

More sleding!

This pic is from inside the cabin looking out at the river!

Chillin' like boys!

For Valentine's Day Jon rents a Hummer 3 for Me!! It was awesome. I always tease Jon that I want one - Jon is so creative when it comes to gifts.

It was super fun to drive.

I was the king of the road for a few days!

Jon's hair is getting longer and he decides that parting it down the middle is back in style!

Jon put up a mantle for me over the fireplace up stairs. It looks so good - he did a great job!!My mom gave me a big Star for Christmas and I put it up in my kitchen.
It looks so cute!

Jon gave me this rug to put in the office. It is SO shaggie but I love it.
We had to put something down because I do my hair in the office in the mornings and my
hairspray was sticking to the hardwood floors. Jon calls this rug the UGLY rug -

Our cute house with Christmas lights up. Our first year putting up lights, it was fun!

I even decorated the front porch. I love Christmas!!

With little cupboard space we found this little cupboard to put our dishes in.
I think it turned out really cute!!

This Christmas we had a theme of "OUR HOUSE"
We got lamps for our front room, since there is not ONE light in there, they work great!

Here they are close up. I think they are so cute!
