Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

My parents had a BBQ on Saturday night to celebrate their 41st anniversary.  It was fun to see everyone, we hadn't seen most of my family since Memorial Day Weekend.  We all pitched in and got my parents new dishes, 20 place settings.  Now my mom is expecting more grandkids...Slim and Rick better get on that!

20 Years in the Books!

This past weekend was my 20 year high school reunion.  Yes I'm that old!  Somehow I landed myself on the committee so there was no backing out!  Friday night's event was held in the cafeteria at Olympus, the school is scheduled to be torn down after the 2011-12 school year so it was fun to get to go through the school one last time.  The event at Olympus was casual and hot, no air conditioning.  Did I mention it was hot? 

Saturday night's event was held at the University Park Hotel and was a formal sit-down dinner.  We had a great turn out and based on all the comments on Facebook, everyone had a great time.

Quent was a trooper through the event, Friday night he opted to go to Riverton High's football scrimmage with TJ and Morgan rather than hanging out with me all night.  Saturday he hung out with me and was my photographer for the night.  I was a bit busy with registration and the program to even think about taking pictures.

 

The Reunion Committee!!

We made it to 4!

We made it to four!!!  We celebrated our fourth anniversary by sleeping in, cooking breakfast together and spending the day together.  We went to see Cars 2 -- we saw Cars 1 while we were dating -- we went to dinner down in Ogden at Ruby River Steak House, the same restaurant that we went too the night of our wedding. 

It was a great day with just the two of us, I am glad Quent was able to take the day off and spend a day with me.

Around the Town

Have you ever been somewhere so many times it's like a second home?  I have family that lives in Cody, Wyoming and I've visited the town almost every year of my life, some years more than once.  This trip, I realized I didn't have any pictures of the town and figured it was about time.  From the Irma Hotel to the Buffalo Bill Cody Museum.  I wish I'd taken more pictures over the years but why would I have?

So today, I post pictures from my afternoon around Cody.

The famous Irma Hotel, built by none other than Buffalo Bill Cody 

Buffalo Bill Cody -- the town namesake

Although I've never been, I hear that the nightly rodeo in Cody is the best around. 

You can't pass through Cody and not stop at the museum. 

Buffalo Bill State Park and Reservoir

 A trip to Cody wouldn't be the same without seeing a line up of motorcycles.

And finally....my mom's alma mater
