Yellowstone

So we went to Yellowstone (with Mom, Dad and Keyes kids) quite a while ago, but I just made the blog and there were some pictures from the trip I wanted to share.

The lovely couple ready for some fun.

I guess the photographer thought it better to capture the moment rather than help poor Jake.  Good thing he made it, wouldn't have been such a good wedding without him.

Tauni and I are posing with this beautiful tree.  I think it was the only dead one around, and all the moss on it made it look pretty cool.

Cool view.

This pool was beautiful! However, when we were hiking around off in the backcountry (not on all the boardwalks), we saw huge and much prettier pools. Oh they were fantastic

big bums and messy hair

I was taking pictures of Mom, Sheila, Dallin and Tauni spelling with their fingers "I love dad".  I thought it was a cute idea. Hanna, however, had a different opinion...

If you can see, there are pelicans in the back ground.  We were doing our best to imitate them.

Obviously this buffalo didn't care about road signs.

Dallin at the dragon's mouth spring.  I think he's trying to be a dragon.

Dad and Dallin

oh so sweet

lovely

Mom got a little excited when Dad took pictures of the Beck family.

Hanna after she fell in the muddy swamp of a lake.  I think she took out her revenge on poor Dallin.

Not so lovely after the hiking is all over

Welcome to the world wide web of blogging...or "we're married now, we can do stupid things"

Prologue to our blogging ventures
by Jake Kempton

So first off let me begin by saying that I have always been opposed to blogs (great way to start out, i know). But before all you die-hard blog junkies pick up your pitchforks, I must also confess that on more than one occasion I have found myself reading (and enjoying) the blogs of others. Without rambling on for the next 5 minutes about the pros and cons of blogging (namely how facebook has so much more utility for the single byu male looking for his EC) let it suffice to say that I have begun to mature out of the facebook phase and thus come into the world wide web of blogging.

....Or, as ellisha said concerning the subject "we're married now, we can do stupid things"

And so it is with the utmost satisfaction that we present to the world (or at least to those select few who are privileged/bored enough to stumble across our page) the amazing adventures of Jake and Ellisha!!

..ok...maybe that was too much

Que in Ellisha.
