St Louis Bachelor Party

Had a great time in St Louis celebrating my friend Tony's last days as a single guy. We saw a Cardinal's game and had shirts made with our nicknames on the back. Jerry I know you are a Coors Light fan but we took a tour of the first ever Budweiser plant and sampled the beer. And of course we saw the arch, "Gateway to the West".

Fajitas at the Kern's

Josh and I had Greg and Lindy over for a Bon Voyage dinner before their big trip! A cute pic of Tommy enjoying the wildlife off his deck and resting his paw on Greg's shoulder.

Round 2 Complete

Well round 2 is over! It was a fun weekend with Lindy in town for Graduation. Lots of celebrating, at the Corner Club of course. It is weird to be leaving Moscow, but hopefully soon I will get position and it will be all worth while! Lindy has some pics from the festivities so maybe she will finally make her first blog post and put them up :)

Eagle High Track

Coach Kern wrapped up another successful track season yesterday when the Eagle Girls won the State track meet and the Boys came in second. Congrats to Josh! You put in a lot of time and effort. I'm sure the kids appreciate it. They look pretty excited!

Boise Tourists

Kelsey and I played tourist in Boise with a visit to the Botanical Garden and the Old State Prison.
Spring is slowly coming to the garden. It was still a great place for a walk and some pics!
Mom and Sacajawea
We were lucky to have a volunteer guide give us a personal tour (probably because we are so cute). We saw a lot of grim things like this early cell that Kelsey is posing in. We also saw the "hanging room" with it's drop floor. Scary!


The prison also had a lot of old rose bushes along all the walk ways that will be blooming in June. Interesting contrast to the prison.

Baby Pics

I finally got a picture of the baby owls. They are big enough now to be on their own. I think they will be leaving the nest any day now and will probably be off to college soon. They really grow up fast!


Still needs a nap...

Merida Reunion

Back from the family reunion! Dad and I hit most of the TX/OK food groups while we were there... fried catfish, chicken fried steak, fried chicken, etc. Hard to do in less than 48 hours! Tasty stuff but it may take my salmon happy digestive system a few days to recover. We had a great time seeing everyone. I have tried to put up some pictures of people Kelsey and Lindy will remember. Greg can get an idea of where Lindy gets the "skinny gene".
