This is funny!

So I was looking through the blog world and came upon Hilary and Andy's blog.  They had an image of two pictures morphed together to show what their baby would look like.  I decided to try it just for fun.  Ryan and I died laughing at some of the morphed images that we did with different famous people!  I must say my picture with Brad Pitt turned out adorable! (really it just looks like a mini Brad). Ryan thought it was interesting that our photos made a girl.  He thinks we will have all girls!  (so do I poor kid).  Anyways if you want to try it out because it is hilarious go to www.morphthing.com and upload some pictures.  Happy morphing ! ha ha

This is our morphed photo of a baby girl! ( I used a photo of Ryan and me)

What do you think?  Does it look like it could be our kid?

Here is the cute one with a picture of me and Brad Pitt!  He looks exactly like Brad:)

Last but not least Ryan's photo morphed with Britney Spears. Oh another girl!!!!

Labor Day Hike

So Ryan had to work a half day on Labor Day and we were wondering what we should do for the afternoon.  I asked him if he has ever hiked to Table Rock.  He has lived in Boise for three years and I have never taken him on a nice short, but steep hike to overlook Boise.  The weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot!  It made me realize that Ryan and I need to explore more areas here in Idaho.  There is so much to do, see, and enjoy.  I hope to explore more areas and show Ryan the good ol' state of Idaho.  Oh and for dinner we enjoyed some BBQ chicken, corn, salad, and homemade bread.  It was a perfect end to an eventful afternoon.  Thanks to Danny and Lisa (Some friends from our ward) for inviting us over.  I hope everyone had a relaxing Labor day.

The start of our hike

I made Ryan point up to the cross where we were hiking to :)

got to love the self portraits

Beach Bums part 2

So I finally developed my disposable water proof camera.  The photos didn't turn out the best, but I guess it is better than nothing.  I always look forward to the annual beach house trip and I can't believe it has already come and gone.  Ryan loves this relaxing week, but seriously he is always going.  He is constantly in the water body surfing and when he finally emerges he dives right into a book.  We are ready to pack up and fly back to Newport to enjoy some free time with the Gabrielsens.  Here are a few more pictures of our California Beach trip.

Kylee making a lovely face :)

Ryan reading........he is addicted to it and seriously once he starts he has to finish the book before he puts it down.  I try to teach him to savor books, but he never takes my advice.

California sunsets every night....I miss those

Jenelle and baby Evan........

Oh and I almost forgot.  Jenelle and Joe taught me how to paddle board.  Jenelle and I paddled out and went along the coast.  We had such a fun time and it was nice to do something new.  If you get the chance to do it you'll love it.  

Beach Bums part 1

Ryan and I have been gone for a week enjoying some California sunshine.  We had such a great time hanging out with the Gabrielsen clan and relaxing on the beach.  Newport was such a blast and I want to go back tomorrow.  I must say it has been difficult adjusting to working instead of playing 24/7.  I have a few pictures of our trip, but about half way through my camera decided to get all blurry so I had to buy a disposable camera.  I haven't gotten those pictures developed yet so I will have to post those photos later.

Best Friends posing on the beach (I've been lucky enough to get to vacation with her on the beach since I was 13 or 14 yrs. old)  It has become a tradition.

Pizza party!

Yesterday Jay invited the family over for a pizza party.  He built a brick oven in the backyard and was ready for a pizza party.  The pizza was amazing with homemade pizza dough and fresh garden ingredients to load on top.  We all walked away stuffed from all of the yummy food!  We also enjoyed some hula hooping and cutting Chris's hair into a emo fo hawk.  Ryan also took the kids for a bike ride in Jay's sweet bike.  It was a great party!

Blackhurst Family Reunion 2009

Blackhurst Family Reunion 2009.......McCall, Idaho.

This past weekend the entire Blackhurst family gathered for a family reunion.  Considering it was 103 degrees in Boise it was a perfect weekend to escape the scorching heat and retreat to the mountains.  It was sunny and warm, while the lake was perfectly cool.  We all enjoyed boating, eating, sun bathing, talking, fiesta dinner night, talent show, and a pinata!(great idea Summer and Cindy we all had some fun)  It was a circus with all of the nieces and nephews running around, but it kept everyone entertained.  It was a perfect weekend with all of my parents ten kids in attendance.  We couldn't have asked for better weather or a nicer place to gather (thanks to the Carberry's letting us use their cabin).  What a blast!  We will all remember how much fun we had.  Looking forward to many more family reunions with more children running around.
