Idaho Trip: The Hike

Going to Idaho by myself is one of the highlights of my year. It's a time for me to rest, recoup, visit family, and party with my sisters. On this trip we decided we would try to hike Table Rock, (one of my favorite hikes ever). As you can see from the pictures there was a lot of snow and so the trail was hard to follow. On this hike we had to cross raging creeks, get carried across raging creeks, get dropped in raging creeks, and make bridges across those raging creeks. We hiked and fell and tripped, but didn't die. :) Thank you Keith, James, John, and Megan for this WONDERFUL adventure!


This first picture shows you where we were trying to go. Unfortunately this picture was taken from the point where we had to stop because we couldn't find the trail.

Me, James and Keith

Here we have Keith putting his pants back on and the rest of us getting ready to put our shoes on. Keith and John tried to carry Megan and I across on their backs. John succeeded because he left his shoes on. Keith did not because he took his shoes off. That was painfully cold water!



We didn't want to walk through another raging creek so the three men pushed this poor tree in a direction it didn't want to go to try to make a bridge. Megan and I are thankful to be alive. :)

Using their muscles to finish our little bridge.

One of the many beautiful scenes we saw. We were actually supposed to go up that mountain and along the ridge, but as you can see....too much snow.

Climbing in the snow is no easy task!

The little love birds

Since this was as high as we could get, we called this rock our Table Rock. We made it!

Me and Meggy Moo

On the way down, we fell over and over and over again.
Enjoy our videos!

My baby boy turns 5

I know I'm a month late in posting this, but Happy 5th birthday my little sugar booger.

June 10, 2004, Kaleb Marsh was born into our family. He has brought so much joy and love into our family. We love you Kaleb!


Kaleb was named after my WONDERFUL grandpa. Here he is on Kaleb's blessing day.

Can he be any cuter? I don't think so.

My little man

Oh to be a kid

Climbing trees

Okay, this is pretty darn CUTE!

5th birthday
Kaleb LOVES trains so Kesa drew this Thomas the Train for one of the games.

Kaleb also loves pirate ships, hence the pirate ship pinata

Star Wars dudes

Kaleb knew that Kassie had a cookie monster cake when she was little so he wanted us to make him one too.

A day of trians

A few weeks ago Mark and the kids joined LeAnna's family for a day of trains in downtown Omaha. They all had a great time.

This just shows you how big these trains really are!

Annual picture taking

It's that time of year again when Mark's sister, Krissy & family come to town. When that happens the camera comes out and everyone says, "CHEESE".

It's a little blurry, but here is the whole family

The DUDES!

One night the boys thought it would be fun to act cool.
Here they are.....The Cool dudes.
