Weekend Adventures in...Rexburg Idaho!


I love long weekends which almost always ends up with a trip of some sort. Mid January means the end of the term which means a day off for me. Kaylin and I thought we would take a little venture to Rexburg, our old stomping grounds.

It was a fun weekend. I saw my family, watched some basketball, shopped, ate....Fabulous times and not enough time. I stayed with Emily and Seth and slept on their couch. Ate lots of German pancakes and watched some good movies. Mary also came on Friday and tried to get some school stuff done. 4 Stokes girls (and one husband, Seth) always will be good times.


I loved my time in Rexburg and was able to see the angel Moroni put on top of the temple. It's so beautiful and it was a great day to take some pictures.

After a day of shopping ( I know, in Rexburg, pretty hard. I actually got pretty lucky which usually never happens to me!) We headed to Sugar Salem High School where Nathan and Josh were playing basketball games. I wish that the result would have been different but it was so fun to watch them play. They are both so fun to watch. They're so good and are great examples on the basketball court. Also, we got to see Coach Stokes in action!!! They all did well but lost. Next time, they will get them. There is just something about losing to Sugar (and to Shelley) I hate it. It makes me so mad! But, we'll get them in the end.


Josh is number 21. He is so good and so fun to watch.

Nathan is number 1. He is so fast and so fun to watch also. They both make things happen and are extremely unselfish. They are great examples on and off the court.




It was a great weekend and a great time with the family. I continued to enjoy my long weekend on Monday and did some fun shopping with Kaylin for our house and other fun things. Had dinner with friends and then, back to work. Those work days are definitely worth it to have days off to spend with family and friends.

You and your sisters are so cute! I wish I could go back to Rexburg, especially to see the temple. Hopefully it's before Karlee goes to college:)

You know that us from Shelley hate losing to Salmon! I am glad you had fun.
