Brock, Mandy, Kelten, Kasen, Kreed and somewhere Kassidy???

This is pretty cool to see all that every one has put on this site and see how much everyone has changed in 10 years.This is the only family photo that I have right now on the day I Baptized Kelten I will get a new one soon there all there if you look close. It was great to see all of you who came to the reunion it was alot of fun glad I went. Still don't know how I managed to get the most mature award I must have been really immature in school. What am I talking about I still am why grow up life is to short. I don't know what my hurry was to get out of high school and get a real job. Life was fun and not as much worry.. I met my wife Mandy my senior year working at the golden arm pit's (McDonald's) we were married on July 9 1998 and have had 4 kids since Kelten (8) Kasen (5) Kreed (2) and Kassidy 1 month the lord must know me way to well because if the second had been a girl it would have all been over. I love having kids they make life fun and interesting not a dull moment at our house. We live in Teton and we love living here it is great. I work at Madison County Implement (John Deere) in the Parts Department I love my job most days. Hope I never offended any of you in school or treated anyone in a bad way if so I am sorry. Well hope life treats you all well c-ya

Matt and Miriah Winder

I have been all over and done all kinds of things. I am currently in Lafayette, Indiana where i met my wife Miriah. We were married on the second of June this year. I have two Children from a previous marriage. Brock is 6 and Kalli is 4. They are the reason i moved to Indiana. I am working as the night Manager of a grocery store. It is not the job i had in mind ten years ago but it pays the bills. I am toying with the idea of going back to school. It is hard to believe it has been ten years. Where did the time go? It is fun to see all the posts on here to see what everyone is up too. Unfortunately I won't make it to the reunion but isn't that one of the perks of being a twin. You see one you see the other ha ha. As far as i know Marshall is going. Well good luck until next time.

Huh...Wayne here

I graduated from Ricks like quite a few of you did then went on to the University of Idaho and got a Bachelors in Computer Engineering (or as Nat says Computer Engi-nerd-ing.) I now work at Micron Technology in Boise. Right before I graduated from Ricks in 2001 I married Natalie Birch and we now have two boys (Mason - 5, Spencer - 3 1/2) and one on the way due in December. Natalie is hoping for a girl this round and I am hoping for a baby. I have much better chances of not being disappointed. A year ago we bought a house in Mountain Home, ID. Now most of my spare time is spent remodeling and fixing. My boys love it, we always have a project to work on together (to the left is the boys and I working on their swingset and tower.) I don't think we have any recent family pictures but I will see what I can find to post. It is nice to see a few familiar faces. Good luck.

Jade and Nancy Bills

Hey Everyone sorry I didn't make it to the reunion but a few things came up. I am living in Grant Idaho with my wonderful wife and 4 children, 5 and under. I also went to Ricks College and graduated from BYU-Idaho in 2003. I met my wife and got married in 2001. We now are blessed with 4 healthy children Joyanne, Noah, Hiram, and Jaden. What fun. We are living in Grant Idaho, a small suburb of the small city of Rigby. We just recently built and moved into our new house right off the Lewisville Highway. It is quiet and lots of space around so that is wonderful. I graduated with a degree in Education but currently am working as a Business Manager for Qwest, in Idaho Falls. It is nice to be close to the area I grew up in. Things are great for us here and we are happy. Again sorry I can't see you all for the reunion but hope to hear from more of you here on this site.

Where to start? I some ways it seems like high school was just yesterday, but as I think back to all that has happened the last 10 years and it seems like high school was forever ago. I look forward to seeing updates on everyone, I guess I am one of the few who actually enjoyed high school for all that it was.

Right out of high school I took off to Boise, Idaho to get a job and started school in the fall at Albertson College in Caldwell. I played soccer for the college for three years and was working towards a graphic design degree with a minor in business. As life sometimes goes I quit school to live the married life. I have since been divorced. After my divorce I moved back to Idaho Falls, where I enjoyed playing softball and soccer.
With luck & love on my side I met my soul mate. We planned a trip to Las Vegas in May of this year and were married. The marriage was a package deal, I now have two great step-children. My husbands name is Shawn. Our two children our Clayton who is about to turn 10 and Mekenna who just turned 6. I adore them! If all goes well there are plans for a couple more little ones here down the road.

As a family we like to go camping, fishing, and hunting. We are big Nascar fans, (me of all people - go figure) go Jr. #8 - for now. We are blessed to have a great thing called USANA in our lives. I still like to play sports when I can.

Shawn considers Jackson, Wyoming home and he was missing home, so about a year and half ago we made the move to Alpine, Wyoming. Alpine is about 35 miles south of Jackson and just over an hour from Idaho Falls.

I am currently working as an office manager for a drywall company here in Jackson. We have played with the idea of me going back to school to either finish my degree or maybe go into teaching. Shawn does carpentry and finish work in the Star Valley area.

Our big news is in the last few weeks we have purchased 7 acres and are in the process of starting to build a house. Which is a very scary but exciting road.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to share their lives. It

is great to see where everyone is at. Take care and best wishes.

morgen again:)

well, I didn't want melissa to be the only one with two posts on here:) I have been playing around and have got up the nerve to attempt to post some pics....we will see how it goes!

Morgen (boughton) Olson

well, I know the reunion is in 2 days but I will post anyway:) I really can't believe it has been ten years! I dont' feel ten years older! and I am seriously retarded when it comes to computers so no pic from me for now...we will see if I even do this right:)
My husband, Peter, and I have been been married for 8 years. we have two boys, Hadley is 6 and Devin is 3. we also have a girl on the way due in November...having kids has been a long hard road for us so this will be it. kind of sad but hey, some people can't have any so we have 3 to be grateful for!
Peter is from Oregon, we met at Ricks. I don't have any exciting schooling to tell you about because I quit to put him thru. But after Ricks we moved to Boise where he attended BSU's Respiratory Therapy program. After school he was offered a job at University Hospital in Salt lake City so we packed up, rented out our house and headed for Utah. Peter works in the NICU and has been there for 5 years now and loves it. I stay home with our kids and love it...most days:) We live in American Fork, Utah (right in the middle of slc and provo) and we love it here!!
not much else to tell, I have been horrible at keeping in touch with people from highschool. other than emailing some of my closer friends and occasionally seeing someone from a distance but never saying hi:) I haven't seen anyone since highschool. looking forward to the reunion and catching up. can't wait to see you all.

Wow! I'm loving all these posts. Let's keep the site up for years to come and update ourselves from time to time. I'm going to post without pictures for now and see if I can get my ancient computer to cooperate in the near future.

A quick update from me and mine ...
I graduated from Ricks with a nursing degree and promptly moved to Utah where I began an exciting nursing career at LDS hospital. I currently work at St. Luke's in Boise as a cardiac nurse. So, if you're ever visiting Boise and have an unfortunate heart attack ... we'll most likely cross paths (I would suggest avoiding these extreems!).

Steve (from Tacoma, loves motorcycles and root beer) and I met at Ricks and then moved onto the University of Utah where he wrapped up a bachelors degree in communication. He's an EXELLENT communicator and has a great nack for telling people what they need to hear without being offensive. What a talent! We made the trek up to Boise to attend grad school at BSU (go Bronco's - Fiesta Bowl Champs). Steve is currently a Certified Professional Mediator which has given him a "lawyer" itch. He's studying for the LSAT test comming up in Sept and we feel confident that this is the path the Lord would have us take. Never thought I'd be married to a lawyer! Thank goodness for faith and prayers.

We have decided that being parents is by far the most rewarding and frustrating of all professions on God's earth. Gage (5) loves 'Star Wars', his scooter, NASCAR (don't know where that one came from), and the Seattle Seahawks (thanks to his dad). Sunny (2) is quite the social butterfly. She loves babies, grandparents, and everything pink. It's hard to discipline someone who's so adorable all the time. We're adding another "tator-tot" to the bunch in October - baby boy ... yahoo!

I look forward to seeing all at the reunion on Saturday. Thanks Seth and Jess for all your hard work.

Eat some Cheetoes for us...

I wish so badly I could be in Idaho this Pioneer day as our class circles up their wagons, but alas I seem to be perpetually stuck in Patterson’s anatomy class. I’m on trauma call that week. I hope to be out of school with a real job and living out in the Wild West again (although I find the East even wilder) by our 20-year class reunion. But I guess by then we might all be old, wrinkled, and not able to remember high school.

The last ten years have been busy ones. Natalie and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary. We have one angel, Mckinzi, who will start first grade in the fall. Then there are our two Boston-baked buns: Isaac will be 4 in September and little Ezra is a mere babe at 6 months.

Nat and I met on the blue and white Ricks College cross-country team; she continued there and graduated in BYU-Idaho’s first graduating class while I wore orange at ISU. We’ve been in Boston for the last four years wearing crimson at dental school – and upon driving home we ran out of gas exactly half way back and settled in Great Plains of Minnesota. I guess I’ve got at least 6 years of school left. But hey, the snow and wind will remind me of Digger country. Although no one knows what the elusive Digger is, at least the Mayo Clinic has our same school colors.

I’m delighted to see how well you are all doing. Your children are all so beautiful. I wish you all the best in life’s pursuits. Until another decade slips away, God bless.

SUMMER "HYMAS" YANCEY

hello everyone!! I still feel like we should be in high school, but I'm getting closer to 30 then 18. Well I've been married now for 7 yrs and have two crazy boys. I married Kade Yancey he was a South Fremont Cougar, I still have to let him know who was the best!! We made our home in Chester ( if you can believe it Cheree Henrie, Christy Arnell, and I all live within a 1/2 mile of each other) who would have ever thought!! The oldest is Karter and he is 4, and Peycen is 2, they are the best of friends. My last son was born with a rare metabolic disorder called LCHAD which of course know one will no what that is I'm still learning. We travel to Primary Childrens hospital every 4 to 6 months for checkups so far so good. So no more kids in store for me, the docs told me not to chance having another because I almost didn't make it through so I'm thankful for the 2 boys I have. Kade and I are very careful with what and where Peycen gets to go, we try very hard not to get him around a lot of people due to sickness, so I will be coming to the reunion alone Kade is going to stay with the children.

I work for St. Anthony Motors as their Business Mangaer doing their accounting, Cheree Henrie Parkinson works with me, Kade works for Fairpoint Communications as a fiber tech. I still play a little softball, my husband and I play co-ed and I also play on a women's team that travels to tournaments. I see a lot of our classmates paying ball its fun to see them. Kade is a big hunter and fisher so there is a few months I'm a widow, but he loves it so I try my hardest to like it.

I'll see you all on the 21st!!
