Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles




Hey everyone!!! It has been a little while since my last post. Things have been pretty busy around here lately. Plus I have been fighting off a nasty head cold for the last two weeks and am finally getting better.

So this is what is going on here in our lives. Joe's brother and his wife are going to have a baby any day now. We are so excited to get to meet the new addition to the family. Then next month Joe's sister is getting married. So we have been helping a little bit with the planning? I am also helping put on the personal shower for his sister. Also we are still in the process of buying a house. We are really getting excited and can't wait till the process is done and we can get moved in.

So here are some recent pictures of Luke. He had his first real bubble bath. He loved it. Now he has to have bubbles every time. It is really cute.

Our Camping Trip

So here are some of the pictures from our camping trip. We had a really nice time. We got there on a Thursday night. It is about a 10 hour drive to the camp ground. We set up camp and just hung out and visited the rest of the night. Friday we hung out around camp in the morning. Joe played some volleyball while me and Luke stayed at camp and played with bubbles and cooled our feet off in his little blow up pool. In the afternoon we went to some near by waterfalls. It is really beautiful. I would have took some picture of them but you have to walk down the water fall to get a good view of them. I have done that, but that was before Luke was born. Not to safe to do that with a kid now. But the teenagers love to do it. So we just stayed at the top of the falls and waded in a water hole. It was nice and cool. After that we went back to camp had a bbq and went to the church camp meeting.

Saturday was just more of the same stuff....hanging out with friends and family and visiting. We did go to Jackson Hole though and have lunch and walk around the stores for a while. It is a really neat town. Saturday night there was a singing around the camp fire and lots of visiting.

Sunday morning was church again followed by a potluck dinner. Then 7 teenagers got baptized. Including my sister-in-law Jewely's fiance' Josh. It was really neat. Everyone was really excited.

That was pretty much the highlights of the trip..we spent Monday morning packing up and saying goodbye to everyone. We had such a great time and enjoy it every year..although it is nice to come home to running water and electricity!!

House Pictures


Ok, so a few weeks back I posted that we are in the process of trying to buy a house. So I am finally posting some pictures of it. I was holding off on doing this, because I thought I might jinks myself and after I post the pictures we wouldn't get the house.

It is a 2 bed 1 bath cozy little mexican style house. It is really cute. We really like it. It has a huge yard with a privacy fence all around it. It is probably a house that we will only live in for a couple of years. We want to fix it up a little and then sell it so we can afford to get a bigger house. You have to start some where though. It will make a great first home.




We are supposed to close on the house at the end of October. The lady that live in the house right now is in the process of building a new house and it won't be finished untill then. It is hard to wait that long but it also kinda nice to take our time. Plus we can start planning ahead on everything we want to do to the house.

Favorite Photos Friday

~Summer bike rides~


Here are a few pictures of us and our bikes...getting ready to go for a ride. We just bought the bikes and Luke's bike trailer this summer. It has been a blast. Luke really enjoys it too. There are different bike trails that go all over town..so it is really convenient to ride anywhere you want. Sometimes Joe's family goes with us and we have like 7 people riding together. It is a great summer activity!

So yesterday was Joe's 25th Birthday. Here are just a few picture of it.
When he got home from work we went out for dinner at this new restaurant in town called the Gengis Grill. It is a mongolian grill, it was really good.
