Looks like the little camera car went driving around Utah last summer. So far it hasn't visited Campbell, Rexburg, or Fort Collins but if it went through Morgan, I'm sure it will soon.
Happy Valentines Day - Mom & Pop/Grandma & Grandpop
I thought put this on here too while I was at it.
Happy Valentines Day!
Rexburg Temple
I thought this was fun to watch.
Here we are at the open house with Katie too, and also by the cornerstone.
There is a nice clip of the inside of the temple on youtube.

Snow Day
The kids are on their 4th snow day, they went today but the bus got stuck in a snowdrift on the way home so they were a little late, a tractor and snowplow had to help them out. All the roads in and out of Rexburg were closed many times. It's nice to have our teen boy slave labor for shoveling.
More Alaska Pictures
In these pictures are dad and I cross country skiing on the winter solstice. That's about as light as it got all day and it only lasted 2-3 hours. Next is an ice carving show we saw in North Pole which goes along with the third one. The next one is of the viewing hut where we sat in the middle of nowhere to see the northern lights. The last one is at Santa Claus's house in North Pole. We actually took this picture for a virtual geocache.Pictures of mom and dad
Here are some pictures of mom and dad in Alaska. I only have a couple of myself since they're from my camera. The first one is getting on the plane we took from Fairbanks to Bettles. Then in there is dad packed as cargo into a dog sled and two of mom packed up the same. Then there's one of dad in all his Alaska snow gear.Rockwoods at the Arctic Circle at minus 36.9 degres
Aleen, Jay and Katie are watching the Northern Lights at Bettles Lodge which is 35 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Temp. very cold. Now just below a minus 36 degrees. The high today was minus 20 degrees. We were all dresses with 6 layers of clothing and looked like eskemos with our loaned fur coats. The flight from Fairbanks to Bettles was cold but sights remarkable. We followed the Alaskan oil pipe line and saw Dalani and lots of cold mountian areas. The food is great and Lodge is warm with all the emminties and comforts of warmth. It is hard to breath when we are out in the cold. We're going on a dog sled ride tomorrow. The sun us up for about 3 hours per day from 11:30am to 2:30pm. We will keep you advised on our activities.
This gives almost as much of a fear danger adrenalin rush as Katie's.
After being my personal chauffeur for a year and a half he finally can drive on his own! SO NOW he can also be my delivery, pick-up and errand boy, ha ha just kidding...well no, not really.
He has been preparing for this since he was just a little guy, and then we made him wait so long. He was the first of his friends to get his learners permit and almost the last to get his final licence.
He said "the extravaganza has arrived!!!"
You'll never believe what I did today
I didn't tell anyone I was going in case I chickened out, but as it turned out I didn't. I thought it would be a good way to get my mind off Bryan, celebrate my half birthday and comemorate my 100th geocache find(it was in the parking lot out front). It wasn't scary at all...ok just a little. It was really fun though and I almost threw up after the parachute was up. (I've never grown out of the motion sickness thing) I never thought I'd do something crazy that Bryce hadn't even done. I paid the arm and a leg they charge for a DVD of it and some snapshots. It turned out to be worth it. Plus since I was all by myself I needed proof I did it. So here's the proof...
It has been a good month. Sarah had her third birthday and Samantha turned six months old. She weighed in at 14 lbs. 8 oz at her doctor visit and had a good check up. Jacob takes good care of his sisters and we are adjusting to a new baby in the family. All the kids got their flu immunizations last Thursday--what an ordeal! We had to promise a treat at the store if they would hold still and then all three cried and cried after it was over. Now we just have to go back for the second dose of their immunization in six weeks.
Awsome Bryce!
The Spectrum
Bryce Rockwood pumps up the crowd as he heads for the finish line of the St. George Marathon Saturday in St. George!
Anna saw you there and in the newspaper and sent me this. She lives there and went to see a friend race, she was going to go say hi but she said you were on the cell phone talking all excited and happy.
Here is a link to the paper and picture for everyone, pretty cool!
where did all the Rockwoods go?
Hello from the cabin

I have been meaning to put the link here for the pictures from the Cabin and Joshua's blessing for a long time. I have most of them uploaded and I turned the block off so if you want to right click and grab any that you want, you can.

Just scroll down to find the file with the cabin pictures in it, it is down a bit.

Nate in Provo
Katie and I went down Monday to help Nate with the last of his stuff - the heavy stuff. I left late and got a few quick caches on the way so it was very hot when we moved the stuff. Afterwards Katie, Nate and I went around to a few caches nearby. I wish we had gone up in the mountians instead where it wasn't 100 degrees. Their house looks nice and clean and the neighborhood seems good. On the way home I grabbed some more for a total of 15 for me that day. It's kind of wierd that Nate and Carrie live in Utah now. Unfortunately it's still 84 miles away for us to drive wether we go through Salt Lake or Heber.
SWIMMING AT THE TOLL'S
Katrina, Kjirsten, and Tori floating in the pond. Unfortunately, this was the only picture we took (with Tori's camera). We do have videos of riding the goats, I'll see if I can figure out how to put those on here. We'd love to get a copy of the family blessing picture.
TORI IN CALIFORNIA
Tori and Grandma in Monterey. Tori had a FABULOUS time on her vacation! We'll get all the pictures on Kodak gallery soon.
