The Wait is OVER!!

Okay, so I know I promised pictures of the house a long time ago and haven't delivered. When we moved I somehow lost our memory card for our camera and have been procrastinating buying a new one in the hopes that I would find the old one. But finally last night I broke down and bought one (mostly because I found this fantastic deal and couldn't pass it up). So here are some of the rooms in our new house:

Living Room

Living Room again. Sorry it's so dark, I couldn't get the flash to work.

The office that is currently Jade's room until we finish hers.

Master bedroom



Cody's Room
He picked out the border and the colors. Of course they are his favorites, green and animals.



Here is a close-up of what Cody's border looks like.

I will post some more pictures when those rooms are presentable ;).

Yellowstone Part 2

When we were on one of our walks we decided to take a girls picture. I think it turned out cute.



After just a girls picture Cody really wanted to take just a boys picture.
Jade is so cute in this pic that I couldn't leave it out.
After we camped in Yellowstone for a few days we were ready for hot showers and comfortable beds. Some family friends of mine (Becca) let us stay in there cabin that is just outside of West Yellowstone. Isn't it beautiful?
This is the best game ever, Ticket to Ride!

The cabin was on a lake so we were able to go canoeing too!


After the cabin we had a very pleasant and uneventful ride home. It was such a wonderful vacation and we are so happy that Scott's family could spend it with us.

Stay tuned for pictures of our new house. I promise they are coming it just took us some time to find our camera and our batteries.

Yellowstone

So after Scott's brother's wedding we headed out to Yellowstone for 4 days. About 2.5 hours into the drive up we got a flat tire (on my in-laws mini-van). Sounds simple enough, but the last time there was a flat tire a professional changed it and did something to the lug-nuts so we couldn't get them off. Anyway, 3 hours later, AAA, and a new tire we were back on the road again. We first stopped at Grand Teton National Park and hiked around Jenny Lake. It had been raining all morning, cleared up just in time for our hike and then started hailing when we were yards away from finishing our hike. Talk about luck.

We left the Teton's during the storm and continued to Yellowstone. We camped right in the park at Grant Village. When we were setting up our tent we discovered that most of the sleeping bags had gotten wet in the trailer we were pulling. But after that one wet and cold night the weather cleared up, our sleeping bags dried out and everything was wonderful.


The first day we saw Old Faithful...


...and saw lots of these.

Mmm...s'mores.

Cody was so excited to see some wildlife.

We took a beautiful walk to see this...

The Wedding

So we just got back from our trip to Utah for Scott's brother's wedding. Thought I would post some pics that came out cute!


Cousins walking to the Temple.

All the cousins together.

What a cute family!
