The Colester

This is adorable nephew Cole. The color picture was taken when he was 7 months old at our anual attendance of the Utah Highland games and Scottish festival. The cowboy Cole picture was taken when he was just over 8 months old. Look at those chubby cheeks! He is now 10 months old and the cutest and cuddliest little boy you could ever meet. He is so curious and is constantly looking around him at the people, scenery, and vibrant colors. He loves to imitate the noises we make. My sister Sunshine is so lucky to have an angel like Cole (who hardly ever cries and is always smiling and happy) as a son.

Idaho Weekend

This past weekend (July 22-25) I finally went to visit my best friend Tracie in Rexburg, Idaho. We had a great time romping around in the alfalfa fields and playing card games with her family. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend and the perfect opportunity to be with friends. For all of you who don't know Tracie, I highly suggest taking the opportunity to get to know her. There is definately never a dull moment with her around.

I also couldn't resist some of the incredible photo ops of the many Idahonian fields and scenery. Since I am a bit of a photo freak I feel as though I must include some of those amazing shots in my blog account. This field is just above BYU Idaho in Rexburg. I love the golden hue of the field with the bits of green; and look at that beautiful blue sky!


This is a lovely shot of a lone chair under a grove of weeping willows. While Tracie went swimming at Hisea hot springs I sat in the shade and played card games with Tracie's family and friend Kate. As I looked toward the snake river in the west I spotted this beatiful, yet lonely scene and couldn't restrain myself from taking the picture.
