Smelting?

Some friends of ours took us out smelting in our new town, what the locals call smelt dipping. Ben got dressed up in his wet suit and jumped in the freezing river to catch us some fish. After an hour or so we ended up with 8 smelt, went home, cooked em up and needless to say we probably won't dine on them again. It was fun though and who knows we may end up dipping again next year.



Cute net!


Ben's found a buddy to fish with



Me and Kristen


The reward!

On the Move....

Well we are off to Longview! We're sad to leave Vancouver and didn't think we'd want to stay longer when we first moved out here, but we do. We'll miss the area, the park, the late night trips to whatever stores are open, our house we've called home for the last three years and all the friends we've made along the way. Here's are a few pics of our move...... :)

Look who came to town!

We're so happy you came to see us Dad! We had so much fun with you and wish you could have stayed longer!



Ahhh the wonderful past time of shooting guns....



Uh Oh.....blood! Shootings over lets go hunt for some rocks!

Abby loves the bridge of the gods!

This past Saturday Ben graduated from Western States Chiropractic College! Yeah! I am so proud of him, he has studied so hard and put in so many hours to reach this goal. The ceremony was great and when Ben walked up to receive his diploma I was emotional enough for both of us. Thank you honey for working so hard for us! I love you!
