Birthday boy

It was a good friend Rogers birthday over the weekend and all of the usually gang got together to celebrate. We ended up at Taylor's house and played rock band for ever. I never played before so i was a little hesitant but it was soooo much fun once you get into it and not be afraid. Happy 25th Birthday Roger.

Miss Molly

It finally happened, after the passing of my parents dearest dearest Austin they have decided to get another puppy. Here is Molly, she is a mini schnauzer and just as cute and perfect for my parents as Austy was. Mom bought her and surprised Dad that night with her. He just loves her to pieces. We think she will loose all that puppy fur and she will end up being pretty grey and white.

Finally we went camping

The Jakobson clan went camping this past weekend. It was the first camping trip since Josh and I have been married. We were hoping to go more often but we've been just so busy, it's ridiculous. It was Cory's birthday so he picked to go to Deadwood Reservoir. It was really beautiful and not a lot a people. We had to drive an out of control dirt road for 25 miles after already driving about an hour. But I did manage to still fall asleep on it. It was a fun weekend to spend with my family.It's never a dull moment. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORY!!!!


Jenny made Cory's birthday desert, apple crisps with fresh apples, it was so delicious.

Brent brought up his hameck and Josh just happen to fall asleep in it.

We boating most of Saturday, the water was NEVER not smoothe, and played games in between.
The camping boys

These girls are 16 and I'm only 100 punds

Josh and I have been obsessed with the Olympics this year! Gymnastics has been one of our favorites, grant it the chinese girls are really good, but who does the Chinese government think they are fooling. I bet the average age on the team is maybe 13, which the rules state they must be turning 16 this year to participate. I say blood test and then give the GOLD to the USA girls.

Temple

We had an exhausting but wonderful Saturday. We started the day by going to an early session at the Boise temple and then it was straight to the Idaho Falls temple open house. It was a beautiful temple ,but aren't they all. It was a new modern feel to it. It wasn't like entering the Boise temple, but obviously it's not dedicated so that feeling won't be there.

This is how Josh was feeling by the end of the day. He was a good sport as always.

I new Jill was going much earlier that same day, but tho and behold they came back to take pictures and we ran into each other and we obviously took a picture together! I love her!

Girly Girls

( there are a few of new post so just scroll down)

My wonderful sister n law started a business of headbands and flower clips or bow clips also she makes the cutest tutus. She had a open house for her collect and it made me want to have a baby girl right now! everything was soooooooooooo cute, so if anyone out there wants something just let me now and I'll hook you up with Jenny. Here is my neice Madelyn sporting her headband and orange flower.

I can't believe it...he's one

Tytan( who is Josh's bro's son) turned one year old! When Josh and I started dating she was 5 or 6 months prego.So I feel like i've been there from the beginning. They had a little party for him at the Willden's. He is such a funny boy and we love him so much and are excited to keep watching him grow. He did not like his hat
He loved the cake though

Dana got into the spirit of things

Fair

Josh and I met up with a lot of his good buddies at the canyon county fair. Kelly Pickler performed and she was pretty good. I only know 3 songs but it was fun to just talk and laugh with the music in the air. Our friend Jeff Greene bought one of those big greasy, grilled turkey legs. It looked so gross but after I had a bite of it, it was really good. Oh the people you find at the fair. I don't understand how people think over tan, booty shorts, tight tiny tops or my favorite not wearing a bra is attractive. Come on Ladies. It was fun to play fair games the three boys tried a brake the bottle with a ball game and none of them got one and and soon as we walked away a little boy broke one! It was a fun night of laughing with people we don't see as often as we would like to.

Bug Man to the rescue

So my little office that I work at in good ol star is infested with bugs and mostly spiders. Now I can handle the tiny tiny spiders, but when we have capture 2 hobo spiders ( which are VERY dangerous) in like not even 3 weeks apart and we have put traps out and have caught many different spiders that's where they cross the line and I call the Bug Man. The bug guy came and finally sprayed inside and outside to KILL them. While spraying he found a lovely long and big hole where the floor and wall don't touch, right by my desk. So he said that is probably where all the bugs are coming from. GREAT. Then it gets better, he said in the next couple of days don't be alarmed when the bugs and spiders start really coming out because they are trying to escape the poison!! GREAT. Did I mention I hate bugs and especially spiders!

Get our hair did

Amanda and I both wanted to color our hair, so on Saturday we went to Sally's and bought the stuff. Amanda wanted to color her hair brown and get rid of the light highlights in her hair. My hair had a lovely line in it from grown out box hair die. it was fun, a little messy but fun.

my hair dye rinsed out a bright purple....a little scary at first, but no worries it's not purple
Amanda's finished medium brown hair
My finished dark natural brown hair

Boys weekend

Josh and his 4 best buds have an annual boys weekend. so this weekend they headed off to Seattle again. Josh had a blast hangen with his boys. they go to the mariners baseball game, movies and just be boys!! I spent the weekend with Tyson and Amanda and i'm so glad i have such an awesome bro and sister-n-law to let me just hang all day with them.

lights

Last weekend we went to Josh's cousins wedding. It was held in their made over barn, which was beautiful. Those lights were the only lights at the reception once is got dark. It was so pretty and had such a soft glow on the room. I loved this idea, It was a little better than my lights at our reception, just a little.

here they are......

So here are just SOME of our great wedding pictures for those who haven't seen the whole collection yet. I catch myself looking at them a lot, but what can I say it was the greatest day captured in pictures. We took a lot at the Temple and then we went down town boise and took some and they turned out fabulous. I'm having a hard time choosing which ones to frame, it was hard picking ones to put on the blog! A shout out of THANKS to Sue who is a talented photographer.

Sun, Fun and Fireworks

We had a great 4th of July week! We went to our good friends house for a bbq and I had my first Martha Stewart moment in making this cute yummy american flag desert. Then on the 4th we went to good ol lake lowell for some fun in the sun on the boat. Brent and Elena came and so did Nate and Amber and the whole Willden clan. It ended up being a lot of fun. We then say fireworks in Wilder and I fell asleep cuz the show was too slow and I was just too tired from our long day. But we did almost get hit with a couple of fireworks during the grand finale. on Saturday we floated Indian Creek in Kuna with my good ol buddy Jill and Brad. that was fun but we hit every rock possible and Josh lost his new sunglasses, but it was fun. it was a exhausting week but a lot a fun. I'm only good at making deserts and not entrees
mom and dad with there lovely beach hats.... they're cute :)

Happy Birthday Dub

A little play and a little pain

Poor Joshy got his wisdom teeth taken out on Friday. He was mighty nervous, but afterwards he was feelin pretty dang good!! He was out of it and very talkative. He only had one really bad tooth and the other two were pretty easy ones to take out. I wasn't too concerned about him, but poor guy got pretty swollen and bleeds still. But no worries he has some good drugs at home to take care of it all. :) He then went boating on Saturday, but he definitely didn't do any physical activity just went along for the ride and he had a pretty good time, it beats sleeping all day. And we got some much needed sun :)

Afterwards at the drug store, can't live with out those pain meds
The next day he was really swollen on his left side, poor guy.

still feeling pretty sweet!

More and more weddings

On Thursday another good friend of mine got married, Kylie Fly. She had such a cute dress with poka dots on it. Then on Saturday our friends got married but I don't have a picture of them, Josh couldn't make it to that wedding due to a softball tournament. So far Josh and I have been married 4 weeks and been invited to 5 weddings! hopefully we are done for a while and can have our Saturdays back.
Mrs. Kylie Turley!

Top Chef

So Josh and I have almost been married 4 weeks now and I have yet to cook ANYTHING! We just went grocery shopping a couple days ago so we had no food for me to even cook with. I'm very excited to cook meals for my little family. Even though those of you who know me might doubt my cooking abilities......I think I'll be an excellent cook, even if all I cook is brownies! :)

Graduation

On Satuday Tyson W. graduated with his business managment. He worked very hard and I bet he's excited to not have any more papers or homework to do on his weekends. Congrats Tyson!!! I missed the ceremony due to Jeff and Tricia's wedding but Josh went. He didn't have a camera so I had to find this cute cartoon instead.
