Who's house?

Madison's wedding at Mt. Timpanogos Temple Here's some of the Gilbert Boys! Joey, Brad, Josh, Nick, Jordan, Dallin, and Madison.For Memorial day weekend we had plans to go hiking and to Yellowstone. But it was cold and rainy everyday. We did get out to go hiking for a little bit!Sadly there was still snow on the ground!!! Driving up the road to the trail was blocked by snow that was too deep to drive through. So we parked on the side of the road and figured we'd just walk the rest of the way. We walked about 100 yd. when a sign said trailhead <<<<< (arrow) 4 miles!!! AH, we were still 4 miles from the trailhead!!! We decided just to walk as far as we felt like going then turn around.Noelle came with us!!! :DStill a pretty hike! We turned around after hiking for just over an hour because avoiding the snow was becoming unavoidable.When we returned home we went looking for a bbq to grill some delicious steaks we had received!! While driving around we found this.... Who said the Hobbits could move in?
This thing was so big inside!! 2 people could easily fit inside. Who made this?
ahhhhh the luxury life of eating steak and asparagus!!
Thanks to my expert Grillman (Brad) dinner was divine!

Sunnyside

We went to the park with Sara and Will a little bit ago. Played frisbee in the beautiful sunshine and got some Nielsen Custard! YUM!! In my fire class last week we got to climb the 100 ft. ladder!! :) SO AWESOME!! It just kept going and going as the sides got closer and closer to you... The last 20 feet were the most nerve racking as the ladder would rock with you each movement you would make. Great view from the top tho! :)
The night before my birthday we had a fire with Noelle and Nellie. Smoked some hot dogs, and played some frisbee, since on my Birthday we were both busy with our night classes. The wind was really whippin the fire around!
Raw Weenie
Love you guy's so much!!!On my birthday I was SO delighted to receive a cute box from my in-laws with pretty pink tissue paper! Inside was EVERYTHING I could ever want for cupcake/cake decorating!! I was seriously so surprised with everything I received, it was everything I drooled over at the store!! haha, so thank you SO MUCH Mom and Dad W!!
Later on campus Brad met up with me for dinner arriving with these:Ah!! Best Birthday Ever cause I have the Best Husband Ever!! Coco bean cupcakes and gorgeous flowers! My favorite! Thanks to all my friends and family who made my birthday so awesome!! The next morning we left for Utah at 1 am so Brad could fly down to his friends wedding! (hence all the early celebration) We then spent the weekend in Utah! LOVED it!! More pictures to come! :)

Fight Night

For our date night last Friday, I wanted to go to the first Rexburg Fight Night!!! My friend's from fire class invited me, and I knew Brad would like it so we had to go!!! :) The fights were SO AWESOME!!! Anybody could sign up to fight, then they would match them up with someone in their weight range. Every ridiculously buff guy in Rexburg was probably there, these guy's were HUGE! We had front row view of all the fights, music was playing, and guys were beating each other. haha it was fun :)

This is typically Full Body Contact Gym, where people work out by boxing. So the guy in the grey shirt below... Has actually been going to this gym and LOST 132 pounds!!!! Which is amazing, it was neat to watch him fight.

Brad is standing over by the speaker, with his hat on if you can see him :) I'm right next to him.

The guy in the maroon is my friend Ricky, he trains here all the time, so I thought he was the best to watch cause he knew what he was doing and he was good.The last fight was between these two. The guy on the right is named Adam Bourka? He's normally a body builder, but he signed up to fight cause everyone wanted to see him fight. I'm so glad he did!! HE IS HUGE!!! I always tell my brother about him when I see him on campus. haha :) So Connor watch the videos to see him fight.The first video is of the last few fights or so, they were all really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb4CCiVdrUs
The second one is of this guy Stanton who fought twice. His last fight was against Adam seen above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-jdV-GJJTw

Thanks for the great date night Bradley!!! :) Can't wait to go again!

As of Lately

We saw some awesome cheap pork at the store the other day, so we bought it and took it home. Then Brad opened it to split it into bags... and the skin was still on it!!! So GROSS!! We had to cut the skin off.The Guts going to the garbage... Smelt like formaldehyde. This was too cute to pass up, Brad was so starving for dinner one night he sat and watched it cook! It was shrimp so we were just waiting for the sauce to bubble.
For Easter we dyed eggs with the Shoemakers. Brad made the "real" egg. :)
It's been in the fifties almost every couple of days!! :) Hip Hooray!
We went bowling with my friend from Washington; Erin and her husband, Trent, and adorable baby DC!
Cute little DC :)
On Saturday we went out to a trail by the river I like to run on. I have previously seen 3 moose on this trail, one of which I almost ran into, and Saturday we saw a baby one!! I was so excited!! I was getting afraid that Brad didn't believe me that I'd seen moosen on this trail, but now he saw one too! :)
Pretty sad how dead idaho still looks... :/

I've also been reading up on movement in pictures. We saw somebody do something like this in a picture, so we thought we'd try it! :) My cute Aero bear volunteered. haha, he's actually my sick bear from when I had mono and couldn't go shopping on black friday. Tori, Valerie, and Corey got it for me. thanks! :)Bear on merry- go- round, Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Break

Last week was our "Spring Break." Just a week off between semesters, not really enough time to travel anywhere. We did make it down to Utah for a change of scenery.

We saw one of my Best friends, Sexy Lexy and her husband Brandon!! She was my first roommate ever and so amazing!! After leaving her place I realized it would probably be the last time I'd see her for a long time! Sad :( Even though we didn't see them often, I'll miss her. They are lucky enough to be leaving school to Houston! We went to Salt Lake Temple! SO AMAZING!!! Definately one of my favorites!!!

Salt lake was beautiful with flowers blooming, green grass, and the popcorn trees!! That's what we called these at my house in Washington at least. LOVE them! We window shopped at the Gateway, where I stole his hat to block the sun. He looks much better in it tho... mmmmm, sexy!"A" for Atlanta, and Arizona!! :) Once back in Idaho we did a deep spring clean on our apartment, it was so nice and I think our apartment is still **sparkling**! :) Then Brad's mom came up with Noelle and Nellie!! Yay family again!! :) It was nice to spend a day with his mom, but she left us too soon sadly.

Classes started today, Brad is currently in Chemistry!! He's going to whoop that classes butt and send it all the way to Africa!! haha. I'm so excited for one of my classes, FIRE FIGHTING!! :) It starts tonight and we get gear and do fire men work outs! I can't wait!!! :D Also super excited about this:Who doesn't get excited about Disney? They just came out with this new race! Sadly I'll be busy in school when it happens, but I love RunDisney. They are the best way to do 1/2 marathons, so entertaining! The Princesses and Princes line the road, you get pictures with them, you run through/around the castle, and Disney facts on the long stretches. The BEST! Can't wait till Disneyland this September!! :)

Hair, buh bye

A couple weeks ago we found out that our nephew Carter, 5 years old, has Leukemia. This news hit Bradley pretty hard, Carter was the first nephew and they've always had a special thing together. (Carter's middle name is Bradley) It was only a few days later when everything was confirmed about the Leukemia that Brad was going to shave his head when Carter lost his hair. That day has come!!! We shaved it off this afternoon with Carter and family on skype. So here's the before and afters!

Before During- having fun with shaving all the hairAfterWe've now decided he looks like an NBA basketball player, Gortat!! Minus a foot in height and 100 lbs of muscle :)Brad attempting to be serious... I volunteered to help for this one even tho we look nothing alike... haha We love you Carter and your new do!!! We're glad Brad can share it with you. We're always thinking of you and praying. To read his story go here.
