BIG NEWS!!!

We're going to play a little game. It's called 'Guess where Rory and Emily will be spending the next three years of their life'. First one to get it right is cool. Hint:

Moab in Film

We took my dad's film Pentax camera to mess around with. I haven't taken film photo's since my Crayola camera I had when I was.... eight. It was pretty fun. We did take some color photos but the camera shop people printed them all black and white. On Wednesday we got rained out of climbing so we went to this place a local told us about called the Crack House (everything was mostly legal I swear). We met some cool people there that told Rory and Tyler how to tape up their hands so they wouldn't rip them off while they climbed. The Crack House was a cave with a crack running along the roof that you could climb along if you could brave the pain. I couldn't. I bouldered on the side of the cave.

The taping of the hands.

Andrea and Tyler at the Big Bend bouldering area.

We hiked up to Delicate Arch one day. There were a lot of people there. Erg. Luckily we did get one shot with no one in it.

And I did yoga on the rocks of Arches National Park.

Twitting Shinkies

Last week Rory and I went down to Moab with some friends for a week. It was awesome!! We did some biking... well, when I say 'we' I mean Andrea, Tyler, and Rory did some biking and I did some hiking with a bike. It was my first ever attempt at mountain biking. They biked the Slickrock trail.

Some hiking....
Some more hiking... This shot was in Canyonlands. The Needles district. We had an awesome campground in there! We packed in for a night and then packed out. Food tastes so much more amazing when you're camping.

And even more hiking. We climbed and jeeped too. More pictures are coming.

And yes, we didn't shower for a week... filthy!

Easter

I forgot my camera for Easter so these are my dad's picture. The big kids (Rory, me, Jessie, and Villhem) got to hide the baskets this year. Rory climbed the swing to hide Adam's basket in a special place. It took him a while to get it down. Haha.

Rory loves Easter! Sooooo much candy.

Saturday

Rory and I had a fun Saturday this week. We started the day by heading to the Jackson Pass to give a last hoorah to the snowboarding season. Rory did a great jump (see video). The snow wasn't nearly as powdery as the last time we went but still fun. It was much easier to control your board.



Kissy picture!

Then we went to Thai lunch (Yum!). After lunch we went to the rock climbing gym with Jessie and William. It was great with not too many people there.

Reaching! My arms and hands hurt now.

Rory was adventurous and tried a 'dyno'. He missed his mark, though, and fell on the mats. It was fun to watch.

And that was our Saturday!

Moose Creek

On Saturday Rory and I went skiing on the Moose Creek trail. We skiied all the way to Wyoming! I'm at the Idaho/Wyoming border in the picture.

Of course, it didn't take long to get to Wyoming because we're speed demons.

It was a beautiful trail. The snow was pretty sticky, though.

Big News!

Rory and I realized the other day that most of our friends are pregnant now or have already had babies and we decided to jump on the bandwagon. So we bought a car!! It's sort of like a kid.... I think it's cute and can't stand to think of him getting hit by a car... ok, it's not really that much like a real baby. He's a 2009 Nissan Versa hatchback and had 57 miles on him when we bought him. His name is Chaucer although sometimes we call him the man mobile since Rory gets to drive him to work.
