Time for a Dex post


Dex has 5 teeth, 4 on bottom, and 1 way over on the side! He grinds his teeth so loud!
So dang funny!



Ok, so we kind of like this kid

Last 4-wheelin' trip for this year 10-20-10


Yay! We get one more 4 wheeling trip!

This time we talked our friend Steve into coming with us.

I guess it's a "man thing", but they have to tinker with the machines before we can ride on them. (so, I can put flowers on this blog post, that's a "woman thing" i guess) No idea if they really do anything, but they were serious about it



Time to decide which trail we are going to take. Today we will head up to Wolverine Ridge.


To get to Wolverine ridge, we have to ride through the burn area. Kind of eerie if ya ask me.

In the burn area, there is this board walk. Haven't seen that before. It was really cool, someone has put a lot of effort into making sure you can still ride on these trails and not have washouts from erosion.

Up towards the top of the ridge, there was this worn tee-shirt. Made us wonder about the kid that wandered off from his boy scout camp and never was found...could this be his?
Perfect day for a long ride.





Next photos of the cabin will probably be on the snowmobile. Time to put the 4 wheelers away.

New Mexico Road Trip


Utah State had Friday off for fall break. Erica, Braden, Caitlyn, and Spencer decided that was enough time to jump in the car and drive down to New Mexico to watch BYU's womens soccer game. Braden drove his car full of the "under 25's", and Dean and I drove down in our car.
Friday night we spent at Kent and Kathy's house. When we got there there was a yummy dinner and awesome company waiting for us. It was great to see Kathy, Kent, Ann, Alan, David and Shae, and Marianne and Davis! (kicking myself for not pulling out my camera while everyone was there, we were having too much fun)Saturday morning Kent had breakfast burritos ready for us.
That alone was worth the drive!


Can you tell who is who?
Did you get it right?!
(yes, these guys are really weird)

After a morning run, breakfast burrito, trip to White Rock lookout, it was time to go to the museum and watch the film about the beginning of the town of Los Alamos. We love that museum.

On our way to Santa Fe, we stopped at a Flea Market. Caitlyn and I got these matching necklaces. We thought we were pretty hot.


Next stop was a pizza joint in Santa Fe. Dean went into place our order, and suggested that we go through the Oldest Church in America. We knew it was around there somewhere, but we decided we wouldn't have time to find it, go through it, and get back for when the pizza was ready. So we sat around and talked instead. That pizza took FOREVER! We would have had time, especially since it was right next door! I didn't notice the sign until after Dean had come out with our drinks. Oops!



Next up, the Plaza.... ...then through a really neat church, and on to a couple of thrift stores.


Now it was time to head to Albuquerque to watch the BYU soccer game!
At the game we met up with Grandpa and Grandma Jenson, Janna, Dan, Riley, Tad and Trevor.
(and a bunch of other BYU fans)

It was a great game, except the ending. BYU lost in the second overtime.

Kassidy and Stacy came and hug out with us after the game. We love famous Kass!


We got up Sunday morning and hit the road again. Braden heading the Phoenix, and the 5 of us started our 10 hour drive home. All I wanted was a McDonalds....do you think we could find one anywhere?! Had to settle for Wendy's
Isn't this what you do when you stop for lunch? Yoga in the parking lot. Nothing goes better with a frosty than warrior pose and tree pose!

Great trip, thanks guys!
