Ok so some of you might know that our cat, Stretch, ran away about 4 or 5 months ago. It was very sad, Justin still misses him very much :'( We decided to get a new kitty. He was very cute at the pet store. Now he is just kinda mean. The top picture was right after we got him when he was still cute and cuddley and fuzzy. The other ones are within the last week or two. His name is"Chevy". He is kind of a mean spirited little stinker. I have the cuts and scratches to prove it!!! He does like Justin though and thats what counts I guess.
This was the weekend after the Fourth of July when Justin and I went fishing at Milner Dam By Burley. It was fun we could see the huge carp jumping in the water. We don't really have heavy duty poles or fishing line so a couple of the big carp got away with a hook or two. Justin was trying to reel in a big fish he caught but it just snapped the line and took off with his hook, line and sinker. It was pretty funny. I also was lucky enough to catch the biggest and the littlest fish of the day. I would say the littlest one was about:[_______________________________] and my biggest fish was probably about this big:

Haha those are probably pretty acurate measurements!!! My brother-in-law caught 3 fish and he was pretty sure it was the same little fish all three times!!! LOL We did have fun though. We love to go fishing with Justin's Brother and Sister-In-Law, and niece!!
Last week two of my nieces, Jaxi and Tori, and my little sister Jessi, came and stayed a couple nights with us. We had fun. Justin and I took them to the Temple Open House. All three of them had already been through it. I was amazed at how excited they were to go through again. I was a little worried that they would get bored and start misbehaving, but they didn't. They just kept saying 'wait til you see the next part' or 'there's this one thing that's really cool'. I thought it was great that they were so intrigued. I also took them to the park that is just down the street from our house. They had fun playing. I love when the kids come over and play. I also noticed the other day that I only ever post pictures of like 3 or 4 of my nieces and nephews, just so you know we have around 22 nieces and nephews total. We don't get to see all of them as much as we would like but they do exist!!
Justin and I went fishing again last weekend. We didn't catch anything! My neice and I decided that the fish just aren't hungry this summer! We tried some new bait because we got a tip from a guy who was catching tons of fish on the dock next to us. Sadly, it didn't work for us! I started work on Thursday. I am back at the same pre-school I was at last year. It is a little bit of a commute, but I just love my job too much to leave. CSI classes start on the 25th of Aug. So Justin will be starting his last year! In case you haven't checked our countdown at the bottom of our page, he has 8 months and 21 days to graduation!!!! Only two more SEMESTERS!! I am so excited!!!!
I heard something interesting the other day that I thought was worth mentioning. It turns out that the "gates" were open the same day the Temple Open House started so the Shoshone Falls are Full Flow, just like in the paintings and in President Hinkley's vision. And they will be shut the last night of the open house(and this was not planned by the city or the church it just happend that way). Last winter everyone here was complaining about all the snow we got, but it was because of that, the dam could be opened so early. I just thought it was cool that the Falls could flow the way they are painted in the Temple and the way the Prophet saw them in his vision of the Twin Falls Temple. I will try to scan the picture of the temple that has the falls in it. Anyway...
