We have been lucky in that this winter we have not had much snow. On Saturday it was particularly beautiful, and Camille's sister Jill and her "friend" Nathan came for a visit. We decided that we would try and show them some of the sites of the area, so we took them up to Sinks Canyon.
On the drive up there we stopped by a giant rock. Adam was going to climb it, but realized he is 30, and cannot climb things like he used to. Camille totally agreed and even made the assumption that, "If you climbed that rock, you would fall and get hurt." In turn, Adam said "perhaps if I could find a smaller rock, perhaps a pebble, I could climb it."
Adam couldn't find a smaller rock. Instead he found this rock. He attempted to climb it and only made it two feet up the side. Although, in this picture he looks more like a rock chuck. If you look closley you can see Adam's two front teeth...like a little rock chuck. Note: please disregard the outhouse over the shoulder of Adam...we know it makes the picture look like crap...hahah.
Camille is doing her best in this picture to look like a mountain woman. When this picture was taken, Adam exclaimed that he thought he could have climbed the rock behind Camille...the small rock that is.
Camille's Sister, Jill, and her "friend" Nathan were attempting to put on their happy faces on when posing with Camille in front of the Popo Agie River. If you look closley you'll notice that a rock is coming out of the sidewalk. On a previous trip, Camille did not realize that the rock was there, tripped on it, and ended up in the bushes. She is always trying to become one with nature.
The Sinks is a river that flows underground and then re-emerges a half mile later. The cave where the river goes into is behind Adam. The ground was covered with ice and was very slippery. To protect everyone, Adam thought for a split second he was Superman, and began to tear away his shirt. However, all he had on was his BYU shirt. He saved no one, and almost fell three times.
The cave was not very deep, but was very neat. The rock is made of Maddison Lime Stone and the river flows into small caverns underground. It then re-emerges. We only know this because there was a little speaker that told us about the formation. We are not that smart.
Camille was a happy little rock chuck. 
This is the sign were the river re-emerges. The river is called Popo Agie. We assumed that many of you are thinking that this is pronounced "poo poo Aggie." However, we assure you that this is not the fecal matter of the Utah State Mascot. The correct pronunciation is "P-oh P-oh zhah."
In this picture Camille is holding the fecal matter of the Utah State Mascot...ok, only kidding. She is actually holding some fish food. Where the river re-emerges is a giant pool. Fish get stuck in this pool, and over the years have grown to be MONSTERS. Sadly, they are protected and no one can fish.
If you look closley, the black figure near the rock is the monster fish. We were looking out over a cliff, which is about 30 feet above the fish.
Camille was ready to dive in with the fishes, but decided that feeding them would be enough.
We are really lucky to live in such a beautiful place. If anyone wants to come and visit...we always have a free room and lots of rock chucks.
The birthday girl was all smiles as she thought of a good wish moments before blowing out her candles. Adam kept yelling "A million dollars, wish for a million dollars!!"
Moments after blowing out her candles, the house was overrun with poltergeists...or, perhaps magic pixy dust, granting Camille her wishes...or perhaps, just smoke from her candles...you be the judge.
Adam has always been known for his crappy wrapping. At Christmas time, Camille's sister ofter refers to Adam as "Crappy Wrappy." This year, Adam did not dissappoint!! However, he did add a twist. Instead of a bow (because he couldn't find a ribbon) he took old wrapping paper and taped it to the top of the present. Shockingly, it looked almost proffessional...but, probably not.
After Camille's parents left Adam had a plan to surprise Camille for Valentines Day by showering her with gifts. Adam wanted Camille to wake up the next morning to a full display of material love. So, to do this, Adam devised a plan to play XBox until Camille went to bed. Usually Camille is out cold by 10:00pm. However, that night she was up until almost 1:30am, watching "John and Kate plus 8." Adam was so tired, but waited until Camille finally went to bed. With some help from Cupid, he then set up "Material love fest '09"
Every year Adam will give some candy and some super cheezy valentine gift. However, this year Adam decided to go a different route and had a theme. The elephant is holding a heart that says "I'm nuts about you." Therefore, everything on the table had somehting to do with nuts (it was mainly snack food for Camille's work). That Adam is such a brilliant husband.
After Camille had discovered Cupid's visit, Adam made her breakfast. Eggs, fresh from the farm, were cooked. Although, in this picture Adam looks a little eggcentric...oh man..that was a bad joke!! Perhaps, Adam should have just said "This is your brain...this is your brain on drugs..."
Camille's coworker is a straight up farm girl. Luckily for us, she offered to give us half a pig (and no, not Adam's lower half). She butchered the pork and we got all the meat. So Adam prepared some of the greatest tasting bacon ever.
That evening we had a nice romantic dinner where some shrimp were cooked.
Some Alfredo was delicatley stirred. (note: Camille's flashy and festive finger nail polish)
The table was set along with the mood. To help was some liquid courage...Martinellis. Adam says it is just carbonated apple juice...but it helps us mormons feel more romantic.
