Body Work

So, On the way back from Colorado we decided to do some custom body work to our car...We slid off the road and hit a pole. The roads were completely clear until we crossed over into WY, then they got really bad. There were several people sliding off, including a semi. Anyway here's some pics of the damage. Oh yeah, I almost missed the pole too. The sign had two poles and I was able to kind of steer the car in between the two poles. I was so close. Lol. The weird thing was that I hit the pole on the right of my car but the left pole broke.

Mindy's Sewing Projects

So... I bought a sewing machine and have now been making stuff. Here they are...



This is my most recent project was a purse... black and gray.











Next is my skirt. I really wanted one like this so I just made one how I wanted it.






When we first moved to our apartment we had a greenish couch so we bought tan curtains and tan pillows. Then we got rid of our green love seat an got a tan couch. It has always bugged me how tan everything is now. So I made pillow covers for the tan pillows.



My next project is to make thicker and longer red curtains to go behind the tan ones.

Because of Brenda's comment on my last post, I must clarify something....I did hike the 50 miles. I even lost 5 pounds! Chris is the only one that rode a horse because he was kicked by a horse a few months ago in the knee. Anyway, now you all know. lol

Hey everyone! That's right! We're updating our blog!!!!

These are some pictures of the 50 mile hike that I went on a couple weeks ago. They are low quality pictures because they were taken from a disposable camera. Anyway, the 50 miler was really fun.

This was taken and Jordan Lake. It was a really great mountain lake. Untouched it seemed. I caught over 50 fish at this lake(catch and release). I did keep two though because they were the biggest of the trip. :) Which as you can see weren't huge...

This is the first day of the trip. Me, Chris Hanson, and Ray Gorham. The rest of the pictures are just some amazing views. They don't do them justice though.

Snowboarding(videos)

First, I thought all of you would enjoy seeing our bloopers. This first video is my second jump of the day. You can hear and watch my head smack the ground. It really hurt for a little while and my neck is pretty stiff today. Haha. We all know I have a hard head though, so I'm doing good.

Mindy just thought this one was hilarious because I was rolling around.

I thought this one was hilarious because of the faceplant.

Then I did almost the very same thing!

Now our videos we actually landed!

Here is both of us redeeming ourselves on the boxes.

Here is my big jump of the day.

Here is Mindy's sweet 180's. She is way better than me at these. I landed a couple of 180's but then wrecked soon after.

Austin's new haircut

Well, I have always been curious about what I would look like with a buzzed head. So, with the encouragement of Mindy, I decided to try it out. Here it is. I don't think it looks too bad. I actually kind of like it, I especially like how low maintenance it is. I highly recommend buzzing your head...well to the guys atleast.

Better late than never?

Hey everyone, it's been a while so I figured I would update everyone a little bit. We went to Denver for Christmas and went snowboarding. It was awesome! Now we are in school and taking a snowboarding class. Life is good in the lives of the newlyweds! Here's some pictures of our snowboarding with the family in Denver.

Here's Mindy getting her board ready for her first ride on her new board.

Right before we head out on the mountain.

Good 'ol family fun!

Getting on the lift.

What's a family gathering without a little rough housing. He was trying to force me outside for a silly string fight but I wasn't having any of that.

Unfortunately there were a couple of casualties. Jack and Jill here didn't fair so well in the rough housing.

Jack and Jill ended up biting back when I tried crushing them with my hand.
