Shout Out to Bry...

...he PASSED the BAR!!
I am so proud of my big bro! I saw how hard he studied to pass this exam and it wasn't just for himself. He wanted to do the best he could for his family because they mean everything to him. I am so grateful for the example and the support he gives me.
CONGRATS BRY!!

Thanksgiving Break

Jarom and I were able to head to California for Thanksgiving on Saturday, November 20th. But we didn't get home till Sunday because of the wonderful snow (sarcasm). We had a minor detour and stayed in Tahoe at the cabin. There really wasn't a choice...I don't think having my foot push the petal while Jarom steered from the passenger seat would cut it while going down the mountain.
This was what we ended driving in Sunday morning. It might look bad, but it was a whole lot better from the night before because there wasn't a snow blizzard.
This is just a random picture from being home.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
...Shooting was a great way to start out the holiday...
Brother Hulbert is amazing and let us come to his property to shoot. It was a beautiful day and it was so much fun hanging out with the guys.
I have been begging my dad to take me for awhile and we finally went. I don't think I am too bad. This picture (above) was from my first time ever shooting with a rifle from about 100 feet away.
Some pretty cool guys
I think out of all the guns...I enjoyed Grandpa Phipps' hunting rifle
...Jarom liked Grandpa's little cowboy gun and holster...
Gun Safety...I learned that quick ;) Lets just say I never hand me a loaded gun without telling me it is loaded. Its a good thing I knew never to point guns at people. My bad...
Hand guns are pretty dang cool...and powerful!!
...That is why Jarom stuck to Grandpa's Twenty-two...
Dad starting off the first of many shots with his shotgun
This gun is amazing and has a pretty great kick. I know...because in the video I keep going back a foot after each shot. :)
Watch out people...don't want to challenge this guy

My favorite part of Thanksgiving...
Just hanging out with my family. They are what I am truly grateful for in my life. They are my best friends and I am so blessed to have them in my life. I don't know what I would do without their advice...seriously! I can talk to them about ANYTHING...sometimes I think they wish I wouldn't. :) There is nothing more special to me than my family.
Parker is getting SO BIG!! He turns 1 in a month!
Oh how my family can be so childish...but that's fine with me This is the Sunday before we head out back...
Parker loves Chocolate covered Pretzels
Jarom...being Jarom! :) Just capturing the moment.

But it is because of my parents I am the wonderful person I am today. So blame them if you have a problem with me ;)
