Spring

For the past month or so the weather has been teasing us with a day or 2 of spring here and there. Even though we really didn't have much of a winter, we've been LOVING the nice, spring like weather and have tried getting out and enjoying it when we can. On one of the first nice weather day we packed up and went shooting.Lately, Dillon and I have kind of become obsessed with the show 'Top Shot' on the History Channel. Since we only get the basic channels, we try to keep ourselves entertained with whatever shows we can find on Hulu. Top Shot would be one of those shows. We watched season 1 a while back on Netflix and shortly after got rid of Netflix. And now, thanks to Hulu, we have cruised thru seasons 2 & 3 in a ridiculously short period of time and now have to slow down and watch season 4 just like everyone else, week by week. So, inspired from the show, we came up with a little challenge course of our own. With a point system and everything. Haha.We did need Colby there to keep track of our points tho since we lost track very early on. Oh well, Dillon still beat me.

Our 'Top Shot' poster pictures. HAHA!
We have also taken advantage of the nice weather and gotten out and done a little fishing. The wind hasn't cooperated too well with the whole "It's Spring" thing so we have only gotten to go a few times. But, it has still been fun.Since moving to Blackfoot we have definitely been able to see a huge difference in the fishing in Blackfoot and the fishing in Rexburg. Meaning, we used to catch fish in Rexburg all the time and now we are lucky when we catch a fish at all. (One of the many reasons we miss the Rexburg area). So.....during Dillon's spring break I took a day off and we headed up North. Oh was it cold but Oh was it so much fun! We were only fishing for about 2 hours but in that short period of time we caught 18 fish. Yes, 18! I am 99% sure we haven't caught that many fish in the 20 months we have lived in Blackfoot.
Hey, I never said our fish were big.

My sweet husband built me a fire because I was freezing.
And we saw this big guy as we were hiking in and again as we were hiking out.
Now, hopefully mother nature will realize that it is now ok to remain Spring and we can have many more days to spend out in the sun.
