Time Travel Thursday!

This was our last family vacation TWO YEARS ago. We need to pull it together White Family. We went up to this cabin in Idaho that is like an hour away from Jackson Hole. We went there in 2001 for a Family Renunion on my dads side of the family. We had a lot of fun at this way nice cabin so we decided to go back. Lake Powell was always the Family Vacation but my sister-in-law couldn't be out in the sun, and my moms foot was having problems so we went back to this cabin.


On the way up to Idaho I rode with Tiffany's little family and we saw the coolest rainbows ever. They were two complete bright rainbows, unfortunately you can't take a picture of the whole rainbow without a camera with the proper lens. Maddie and I were just talking about these rainbows just the other day so I thought I would include this picture.

Anyways this was the Crew that went down to the Upper Mesa falls.

(L to R: Corbin, Jaimie, Me, Maddie, Andrew, Shawna, Olivia, Tiffany, Natalie, Baby Emmie, Hayden, Josh, Lila behind Tom, Tom, and Canyon.)

This is the waterfall, its very pretty.

I took this picture of Troys family and I love it. I think this is such a cute picture.
(L to R: Shawna, Andrew, Blanca, Augustus, Troy, Corbin, and Jaimie.)

You will see that I love these type of up close pictures when you scroll down through the rest of the pictures. This is Augustus and Canyon im surprised I actually got them to pose for a picture.

Ambers Kids at the time, Winter on back, Zarley and then little Owen.

Jaimie and I

This is Shawna and I.

Me and Maddie. She looks so little.

Maddie, Olivia and Me. Everyone always says Olivia looks like a Christenson, however I think she looks a lot like Tiffany in this picture for some reason. Something about her facial expression looks like Tiffany to me.

It's so funny to look back two years ago and see how much the kids have changed and grown. They all look so little to me. Its so weird to see myself because my face is so round and chubby. Thankfully I don't look like that now, ha!

Time Travel Thursday!

And this is why I love him! We went hiking last year with Mitch's brother and this girl. We went swimming in the lake and we were changing back into dry clothes. Mitch started struting around in just his speedo. We decided it would be hilarious for him to go walking past his brother and his date in just his speedo plus the socks look amazing. They were supposedly just waiting up the hill, however were not there. We started walking down as fast as we could to catch up to them. We fortunately for this family of like 15 people we caught up to them and not his brother. Nearly every single person that was holding a flash light turned around to see what was coming upon them and it was this beautiful sight. It was hilarious because the family was walking down the moutain in packs of three or four so it was several light flashes. He hiked down the entire mountain like this and his brothers date didn't even laugh. She was really lame.

He tried out his Calvin Klein underwear model face, "Blue Steel"! I think the socks make the outfit!

This was my view coming down the mountain behind him. I love this boy!

Time Travel Thursday!

So my sisters have certain days of the week they post an older picture. I thought it would be fun, since I have quite the boring life, plus I am a total copycat. I have been collecting wedding pictures of my ancestors for my wedding so I thought it would be the perfect start.



The first one is my grandparents. How cute are they? you can't tell in this picture but my Grandpa had a pinstripe suit on. My grandparents had the sweetest relationship ever. They were the best of friends and did everything together. If my grandpa was up fixing the roof my grandma was up there with him poor health and all. They loved each other so much, but they were equals. They both had their part but were always best friends. I hope the Mitchell and I can be like that.
This second picture is my cute parents. They look so little (cause they were) it makes me giggle a little bit. My parents are the best. They have seriously been put through the ringer throughout their whole lives together. The last three and a half years have been the hardest for them. My moms health has brought her close to death and much more beyond that. Watching my dad deal with that was so tough. I have never seen my oh so brave dad so scared. But I guess if you thought you might loose your best friend, love of your life, eternal companion you would be a little freaked out too. Thats a lot wrapped up into one person. No matter what though they have stuck it out together. The best part about it though is it has brought them closer together. I think that is when true love and strength comes out. When trials come in your life I believe that the way you deal with the trials show your true character. With that said I think my parents have amazing character. I know that Mitch and I will have challenges in our married life and I hope that we can approach them with the same tenacity, strength, and character as they have. I have learned so much from my parents and am so grateful to have them and their strength in my life.

This third picture is my aunt Becky and her husband Mike. These guys are so much fun and so good with kids. I have always loved being around either of them at family parties growing up. They too have dealt with some tough things in life and handled loosing a son better then I ever could. My aunt gave me a letter right after my cousin died comforting me which was amazing to me at the time. That letter has always stuck with me and helped me through dealing with other hard times in my life. Becky is like my second mom and has always helped people around her that weren't her own kids. I hope to be like that to the youth that grow up around me. I met this girl once who knew Becky and said how much Becky had helped her through her teenage years. Becky was there for someone whos parents weren't and I hope to be intuned enough to be able to do the same. Can I just say look at how awesome my uncles suit is? Those blue paid pants are sexy. Ha ha becky you look absolutely beautiful though.
