Everyone whose hands are raised are direct decendents of the Strasser line...the rest of them, well either wanna-bes or Strassers by default.
This last weekend we made the five hour drive to good ol' Rexburg, Idaho. We were very excited because we got to see our dearest friends (and stay at their newly built house) who we haven't seen in two years. We also took advantage of the fact that Marnie, Levi & Cali were also in town and had them (including a lot of other Strassers) watch Calvin while we went to the temple Saturday morning. It was so beautiful. After we spent the morning there, Joel and I went with Matt and Shannon and ate at the Backyard and then did their family photos. It was a lot of fun. Following the photo session, we went home for a second, got a few geocaches written down and pick them up on our way to THE FIRST ANNUAL STRASSER SHINDIG. There are a lot of Strassers and affeliates that attend BYU-Idaho, and we are friends with all of em' so we decided that we needed to have a get together at Big Juds (this is a hamburger joint outside of town that sales the biggest juciest burgers ever!). We had a great time there as well...we had 18 or 19 total and partied Strasser style. After that, we ran a few errons, and then Joel and a few others went and had a ball of their own while Shannon and I stayed home and I introduced her to the wonders of Facebook! (haha, you are welcome Shannon!)
Sunday one of our friends blessed their baby, and we just happened to be in Rexburg to go. That was fun. After that, we hit the road. On our way out of town and towards home we picked up a few geocaches, passing the 1500 mark! Way to go Us (which by us I really mean Joel). LOL Afer a long drive home, we were back safe and sound with no crazy snow storms or anything like that to return home to.
Who knows when we will get to go party there again, but the way I see it is that it is everyone's turn in Rexburg to come visit us....so there!
Our next big trip is Thanksgiving time when we will be traveling to Sandy, Utah to spend a few days with my family. That should be fun.

The way we see it, Calvin is never too young to start preparing to do the Big Jud Challenge! Mind over matter!
Joel getting our 1500th find & a quick stop to check on our old party shack...still looks good!
