Jackson/Yellowstone Trip 2010

On June 25, 2010 we went to Jackson Hole. Oma and Kaylynn joined us. We went to town square and had a picnic. We then had to take the kids to the candy store for treats. we then decided it would be fun to drive and see more of Yellowstone with Oma and Kaylynn. We ended up getting there around 4 pm and stayed way late. It was fun to do with oma and to see more of Yellowstone that we didn’t see two days before. The kids loved be able to spend time with their cousin as well.

Yellowstone Trip 2010

On July 23, 2010 Joe and I took the kids to Yellowstone National Park. We got up early and spent the whole day there. We saw many geysers, Lots of Bison and Antelope were spotted. We had fun looking for license plates from different states. They also enjoyed playing I spy during the drive. we took many pictures in Yellowstone. It was a fun adventure to do as  a family. We enjoyed the many walks we went on to see the different geysers.

Corbin six months old

Corbin turned six months old while we were in Pinedale, Wy on Saturday July 26. I can’t believe he is already this age. He is changing from day to day. He wasn’t sitting up until after he spent some time with his cousin Kaylynn. He sure was sitting up by the time he turned six months old. Aunt Pam, Uncle Kevin, Spencer, and Kaylissa gave Corbin a sippy cup for his half birthday. He loves his sippy cup. We took his six month pictures just before leaving on our trip. They turned out so cute. I love the picture since it portrayed him so well. He seems to smile quite a bit. Corbin’s favorite thing to do is be outside. He loves nature.  He also loves when Morgan, Andrew and Emilee interact with him. He likes to play peekaboo. He loves to eat solid foods as well.

Vacation Time 2010

It has been awhile since I last blogged. We so far have had a great summer. Our summer started with making a trip to Utah. We left the day school got out. It was a long drive with a baby. We got to Utah early on the 18th of June.  I was so tired that day. We were able to see Kristine and the kids right away.  Magaly came also with her kids to see us.  So we visited for awhile. Juanita and Amanda came to my mom’s to  visit as well. It always seems to be very busy when I am in Utah.

So on Saturday we went up to Logan to Maeva’s baptism. I am so proud that Maeva chose to get baptize. We also celebrated my mom’s birthday  Joe and I ended up taking Kristine and Jim out to dinner.  It was great to hang out with them. Sunday the 18th of June was Father’s Day. I went to my mom’s ward so that I could show people Corbin. Joe came to sacrament meeting with Morgan. Andrew and Emilee went to Krisitine’s ward.  We had a nice dinner with my dad on Father’s day. We ended up going to Ben and Robin’s to surprise grandpa that we were here. We had a great time at Ben and Robin’s. We stayed longer than we were going too just visiting with Ben and Robin.

On Monday morning we headed to Dave’s house to stay for a week. we had many things planned to do that week. We arrived at Dave”s at around 5:00 p.m. That night we ate a late dinner and just visited with Oma, Dave, Haley and Kaylynn. Tuesday we just stayed around Pinedale. We went to the library. I ended up seeing my aunt Barbara and cousin Josh in Pinedale. Joe,Morgan, Andrew, Emilee, Corbin and I got up early and went for a drive to Yellowstone National Park. We first stopped in Jackson to get some food at Albertsons. It was an enjoyable time and Corbin did so well traveling in the car. Morgan, Andrew and Emilee loved Yellowstone and seeing the geysers. We saw many geysers and mudpots. Still my favorite geyser of all time we had to see was “Old Faithful” . The kids were bummed that we never saw a bear or a moose in Yellowstone. We did see many Bison and Antelope. We stayed late in Yellowstone. We got back to Dave’s house early Wednesday morning. Haley ended up taking the day off on Thursday. We had fun spending time with Kaylynn and her. Emilee loved playing with the dogs. On Friday we decided to go to Jackson Hole. Oma and Kaylynn came with us. We ate lunch in town square in Jackson hole then we decided to drive yet again to Yellowstone. It was fun.

On Saturday Dave, Joe, Morgan, Emilee, and Andrew took Daves boat out. They enjoyed time fishing and then they went shooting. That morning Dave and Joe had a cookoff of Biscuits and gravy to see who’s tasted better. Oma, Kaylynn, Haley and I stayed at the house and visited. They were gone all day and got home late. We ended up roasting hotdogs and marshmallows but didn’t last long because we got cold.  On Sunday Joe woke up early to hang with Dave for the day. Haley made some yummy breakfast for us. We had Buffulo for dinner that night. We also roasted marshmallows again since it was a warmer night. Today was also the day that Corbin turned six months old.

On Monday we left and headed back to Utah. Before we left Pinedale the kids wanted to go see Haley at work. She locked Morgan, Emilee and Andrew in the safe. She works at a Bank in Pinedale. On our way back home we stopped in Kemmerer, WY to the Fossil Butte National Monument. It was fun to learn about fossils. Oma made us a lunch to eat on our way. We also decided to drive through Randolph on our way back. We stopped to see Aunt Ruth. She was surprised to see us. We had a good short visit with her. She even gave the kids ice cream. I was excited to get back to my moms so I could go to my sisters to see my new nephew Joshua that was born on Friday June 25. So that evening we went to Krisitne and Jim’s to see Joshua. He seemed so tiny compared to Corbin. He is a cute baby.

On Tuesday afternoon Janiece and I took the kids swimming. Corbin just loved the water. He loves to swim. Logan, Conner, Annie and Katlyn came too. We stayed until dinner time.  The rest of the week I helped Krisitne a lot in her house since she couldn’t do much. Jim started his radiation for his cancer. we are praying that it helps. On Friday morning we met Joe’s family in Brigham to take some much needed family photos. Everyone did great at smiling. Poor Spencer thought he was getting picked on by his cousin Corbin and Kaylynn. It was great to get pictures.Joe took the kids with his friend hunting. They had fun.

On Saturday July 3rd, we went with my family to the 4th of July parade in Clearfield. Bryan, Ange, Rees, and Arissa came. Later that day, it was time for my family to have pictures taken.  It was good to see Jim even though he was tired.  Charity and Jeff came over to my mom’s for dinner. We visited until it was time to go to see the fireworks.  We were able to see many fo our cousins there.  We then went back to my parents.

Good Hair Day

As I was sitting there playing a game with my cousins Frank and Tawnia , Joe decided to have too much fun with my hair. It turned out to be a bad hair day.Joe thinks I am having a good hair day. I disagree with him.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2010

Since I was young my mom always had the lepercaun come and visit  so I have done that for my children. Corbin was drssed in green. The bib he is wearing is from his aunt niece. Emilee, Andrew and Morgan had fun getting dressed in green and head to school. Another thing Corbin got from Aunt Niece is a frog that plays music. It is one of his favorite toys. It is fun to see all the green footprints left by the lepercaun.
