Jardine Juniper Tree

On June 6 2009 my older brother (Jeff) and I went hiking. We went up to the Jardine Juniper Tree. We both decided that since neither of us have seen it that it was time. (Growing up in Cache Valley and all!)

Now for the boring stuff! The Jardine Juniper tree is thought to be about 3200 years old. (According to a sign right next to the tree -- however, I have also heard that it is 1500 years old) It is one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever been on. Not only was the scenery amazing but the smells and sounds were astonishing. This is the perfect time of year to go on this hike, I couldn't believe how much water there was! I would definitely recommend it for anyone! It's about 10 miles round trip but it's not very strenuous.

The views are incredible!

You can see at the top of the tree where it is still alive.

My handsome brother Jeff!

Don't worry...Monty's just sitting on a rock, it's not a cliff! BTW he loves the mountains just as much as I do!

This is me, proud I finished the hike! SUPERWOMAN! (heh.)
Looky there, another reptile friend...at least it wasn't a snake, I don't think I could have handled another run in with another snake!

Now I just want to share some photos I took of some of the glorious wildflowers I saw on the hike. ENJOY!

Yes! I was finally able to put my new camera to the true test...and if you ask me it definitely passed! I think the pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for!

I just want Jeff to know what a good time I had with him. We don't get to do things together very often, so I truly cherish the time we do get to hang. I know we have had our differences in the past, but I feel that this experience has brought us closer and I love being your little sis! I love you Jeffy!

Tommy boy

So yesterday Daniel started indoor soccer again. It's nice to have an excuse to get out of the house. We've become quite the home bodies lately (which is just fine with me!).Then right after his game we headed over to the in-laws because Tom (Daniel's little bro) was opening his mission calling and we didn't want to miss that! Daniel thought that he would be going to either Russia or Argentina, my guess was either Nepal or Canada...AND THE WINNER IS..............
MEEEEEE! He received his calling to the East Toronto Canadian Mission. Wow I'm good! Or just extremely competitive about everything! Anyway, Tom leaves on Feb. 4 2009 and he will be missed!

So my little brothers birthday was on Thur. He turned 25, that's a quarter of a century...getting up there!!! I baked him a cake that was lopsided and lumpy (in my opinion it was worthy of "Cakewrecks"!) but he just said that it "takes after him". How sweet huh?I was so excited to do this for my 'lil bro. I called our other brother Josh and he came up from Brigham to sing "Happy Birthday" (which sounded DREADFUL!!).
I was also eager to give Bobby his birthday gifts. I got him some wood cutting boards that a guy from work made and a toaster oven so he can put his sandwiches in them and toast them (he claims it's the best!). I think he enjoyed himself and it was good to get together with the fam. Even though one was missing...Jeffy!
Anyway, Happy Birthday Bobby!!!
