Homecoming!!!

Ok so not to be too boastful but she just looked so beautiful!


Lizzie got asked to Homecoming with a guy from her drama class named Chance. She was so excited!!!


She borrowed the dress from Margo thanks to Melanie for setting up the M&M Dress shop.


I did her hair thanks to Becky giving me some pointers and her nails it was a fun day getting her already.


Here is a picture of her hair doesn't look as good as it did in person but not to bad.


Well Tanner, Jeff and I are off to go see a movie (which Lizzie wants to see but she choose a date over this hehe) so I better close I will add more later. Thanks for letting me brag!

I need opinions

Ok so here's the story
My mom graduated from high school in 1955 and got a class ring. She got married the fall after she graduated. My dad wore her class ring while they were engaged and after they got married on his pinky finger but he was working in grain elevators alot and always wore gloves and wore down her initals that were embossed on the top of the ring.

Anyway when I was in 8th grade I started wearing my mom's class ring (I am such a sucker for history and nostalgia I wouldn't even buy a class ring of my own because I liked my mom's better) I wore it through jr high, high school, college and even for quite a few years after Jeff and I were married.

This summer I gave it to Lizzie to wear (I was waiting for her to be responsible enough to not loose it) and she loves it (nostalgia thing again). So here is the dilema Lizzie and I would like to get it engraved on the inside with my mom's initials and graduating year 1955, then my initials and 1987 then Lizzies initals and 2010 (cool that she graduates 55 years after her grandma who graduated in 1955). I have called Josten's (where my mom got the ring from in the first place) and they can do the engraving and refinish the antiquing and all of that. The downside is that the ring being worn so much and with being 55 years old the bottom of the ring is wearing down and not as thick as it use to be.

So Josten can do 2 things they can clean the ring up, do the engraving or they can complete recreate the ring then Lizzie would have a brand new ring and maybe it can last for another 3 generations, or I can have Josten's do what they can for free then take it to a jewler to add to the thickness.

I am so torn, I think I am pretty set against having Josten create a new ring I would love to see mom's ring with the embossing on it but the story is too sweet of her fiancee' and new husband wearing it under his work gloves (it shows a side to my dad the is too cute).

So people give me your input because I am not sure were to go from here. Does anyone know will jewlers add to the thickness on a ring so it will last longer?

Thank you for reading my ramblings and any input would be greatly appreciated. (I will try to remember to get a picture of the ring and post it)

Yellowstone YEAH!!!!

OH I love to go to Yellowstone. It is so beautiful and I always feel somehow refreshed up there. I mean look at that picture it is almost like a different world.

We usually go up and stay in Jackson Hole which is one of our favorite places on earth, but when we do it is about 1.5 hours to the south entrance of the park so we don't get all the way north in a day and back down south so this year we made a point to stay on the north end. So we stayed in Gardiner.

We stopped in Rexburg on the way up, I wanted to see the campus now and I thought we could browse in the bookshop. But everything was closed because it was a Saturday and the school year hadn't started yet. I think they have built 10 new buildings since I was there. It was cool though the Rexburg temple is about half a mile down the road from the apartments I stayed in my last year.

Anyway back to YS. So it was beautiful. we saw a fox 

and elk and bison.  We had fun trying to get pictures of the chipmunks but they move fast but the last day we got them :)

anyway here are some pictures we took.  The kids both had a camera too and had fun learning to get some good pictures.

of course we went to Billy's in Jackson on the way home and had the best hamburgers on the planet, if only Jackson was a few hours closer we would go so much more!!!!

So here is a bunch of pictures we took
