2 Weekends in Beautiful Wyoming

We have spent the last 2 weekends in Wyoming.. This is the first summer in 8 years that I'm not running the horse business... It's kinda sad, but also it is so great that we actually have a Summer to do other things. I'm defiantly relieved of a lot of stress! We had a great couple weekends.. Here are some of our highlights!(It's pretty long, sorry)
Mike was kicking the ball in the field, and the horses went crazy! I love when horses run.

Here's the Fam... We are all kinda greasy because we we were all working on different projects. I cleaned out my parents boat to get it ready for the summer. Mike and my Dad worked on a Big playplace for Bridger and all the grandkids to come.

You gotta love Wrangler butts! I love when Mike gets in his cowboy gear..

Bridger has a big obsession with 4 wheelers(well anything with a motor), but from the moment he woke up while we were out there he wanted to go out on the fourrrr(that's what he calls it)

I was changing Bridger's diaper outside when he took off naked!

He then wanted to go work on the playhouse with Grandpa and Dad... You gotta love little naked bums!!

Mike's little naked helper!

Bridger was out with the guys when I noticed he was climbing half way up the ladder, so my Dad hurried and went up behind him.. He climbed all the way to the top. We had to keep a good eye on him after that. Our little dare devil!

Trampoline Fun!

Bridger ridin high! Bridger wanted to either ride the horses or ride the 4 wheelers, the Whole time! He was in Heaven!

Bridger is a natural cowboy! He has no fear, and hangs on to that horse like he's been doing it forever.. We would love for him to wear cowboy boots, but he won't fit in any because his chunky ankles and flintstone feet..

Bridger wouldn't keep his cowboy hat on, so we put it on Sam his horse!

Bridger sure loves his Grandma and Grandpa.. He calls them Mema, and Pampa..

Another obsession Bridger has are Airplanes.. My Dad pulled out his airplane and then gave Bridge an airplane ride.

Bridger spotted my parents neighbors tractor from across the field and said "tracker".. and said no no no no(which means come on guys please take me).. so we went over there, and he had a blast riding on the tracker for his first time!

Thanks Mom and Dad for a great couple of weekends.. We love you guys.

AWESOME WEEKEND!

Hi Everyone.. Thankfully Bridger has completly recovered. He did lose 2 1/2 pounds through the whole ordeal and is back to wearing 2T clothes again, but I guess his clothes will last him a little longer now! Thanks everyone for your sweet comments and phone calls, we really appreciated it! We ended up having a great weekend, and we loved watching Bridger enjoy life again! I'll post some of our highlights below.

Isn't Summer time the best? Here's Bridger loving the fun sprinkler..

FUN IN BEAUTIFUL EDEN

We have some friends who live in Eden, and who have the sweetest spot. They live right by the lake and just have incredible views, so we're able to enjoy our night up there having a campfire, playing volleyball, and just relaxing.

Bridger was entertained playing in the dirt and with the rocks..He's defiantly ALL boy!

We had the best tinfoil dinners, and peach cobbler..

We went down to Pineview Lake and Bridger of course had to get all the way in the water. This is Bridger and his Awesome Aunt Erin.

FUN WITH SOME OF MIKE'S FAM!

Some of Mike's fam came out from Elko, and it was really fun seeing them. Some of you may not know, but Mike is a quarter Korean. His Dad is half Korean and his Mom is blond and green eyed, so that's where Mike got most of his looks from his Mom(besides his short legs)he he..

This is Mike's Grandma O. and Mike's Dad. Grandma O. is the cutest lady she always says, "oh honey, you need to eat..oh honey.." She cracks me up!

Mothers Day at Primary Childrens Hospital...

Well we have had a pretty crazy 2 weeks.. Our poor little guy couldn't ever get rid of this awful sickness. His Temperature stayed really high for almost 2 weeks, and he wouldn't eat, had diarrhea, and he just cried all the time.. I think he had one day in between where he seemed like he was getting better, but then his fever came back up that night. The doctors started doing tests because it's not normal to have 101-103 fever temp. for that long, and they noticed his white blood cell count went up and he was having inflammation. They became really concerned and sent us to stay the night in Primary Children's Hospital. Poor Bridger was getting tested all through the night. They came in every 2 hours drawing blood, and sticking tubes down his nose it was awful! He just cried, and I cried.. Mike and I just felt so helpless! Mike gave him a blessing that was wonderful.. They ended up finding a really bad respiratory virus, and they found a few other things. The day we left the hospital his high fever was gone, and he was feeling much better. We are so grateful that he is feeling better, and that all in all he didn't get something that is going to effect his future. Being at Primary Children's we saw lots of sick and disabled kids, and my heart went out to those parents and kids that are going through that. Needless to say I've had a pretty emotional few weeks.. but it has defiantly made me feel more grateful for more life!

Rough Week for Bridge

We had quite a crazy week.. For the last 7 days Bridger has been horribly sick. We found out he had a really bad virus. His Temp stayed at 103 for 5 days, he had huge blisters in his throat, so he couldn't eat.. He had stomach problems and has had diarreha like crazy. The worst part is I couldn't find anyway to make him comfortable, he just cried the whole week.. It was so sad!

Bridg is back to the bottle.. That was the only way we could get any fluid in him.

Thankfully today he was finally feeling better and is back to his happy self!

That's the smile we missed! We love him so much.

Fun with Sarah and Jade

Sarah came into town for a little while, and it was so fun seeing her and sweet little Jade! We had some fun going to Cafe Rio, 711 for diet coke and donuts, and just chatting like the old days. It's a little different now days with having kids. Our truck is in Wyoming, so we were borrowing my grandparents van, and so I took Sarah in the sweet van, and we just had to laugh about how different life is now!

Look how sweet Jade's smile is.. She honestly is always smiling. I think she's so cute she could be a Gerber Baby.

I'm grateful to have Sarah as my friend. She's always there for me to call and to just get it all out. She's the best listener and so much fun! You can't beat her laugh... She's a wonderful Mom too..I love ya Sar!

JOYS :
1-Being outdoors.. I love hiking, riding horses, camping, skiing, ice climbing, rock climbing, and just being in nature.
2-Bridger-Bridger is defiantly a major Joy in my life, he has always been sooo happy! He wakes up in the morning smiling.. With all of our pregnancy complications in the past, I try to remember everyday how blessed we’re to have this sweet little boy in our lives, and another little boy on the way.
3-Mike- I couldn’t ask for a better husband. I love that we enjoy doing the same outdoor interest. When he gets home from work he plays with Bridger all night, and then helps me with dishes and helps clean. He is such a fun Dad. I’m grateful I married my best friend!
4-Holidays- I love everything about holidays.. I especially love that that's the time you get together with family and friends. My family is the greatest. I love just being together and playing games and eating great food.
FEARS:
1-Mice… I hate mice! They give me the creeps. I have horrible dreams about them climbing all over me while I’m sleeping.
2-(I agree with Tagen on this one).. I hate basements! I actually won't sleep in a basement again, ever since my childhood! I don’t want to own a house with a basement.
3- I worry everyday about someone in my family getting hurt.
4-I worry about not teaching Bridger enough.
GOALS:
1- To always stay close in the gospel, and to teach my children the importance of the Gospel.
2- To try and stay away from worldly stuff, and to remember why we’re really here.
3- To be a good mom, wife, and friend.
4- To start a Therapeutic Horseback Riding Camp for special needs people in the future.
OBSESSIONS:
1- Jackson Hole Summers- Why? Temp. is perfect, it stays in the 70’s and 80’s, stars, carefree life, river rafting, smores, horseback riding in the beautiful mountains, fireworks, and I could go on forever.
2-Food- I love food… My favorites: tomatoes with salt and pepper, Swedish Fish, corn on the cob, cereal, chocolate donuts from 711(sounds gross.. but so good.), my Dad’s chocolate chip cookies, Grandma’s biscuits and jam, and diet Coke!(yep all pretty healthy:)
3- I want to cook just like my Grandma Parker.. Her food is absolutely Heaven!! I’m a horrible cook, but maybe someday it will come.
4- I love to have a clean house! If you look at my house right now you would say yeah whatever... but that's what I've had to face with having a little boy, and not trying to being obsessed with always keeping things clean.
RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:
1- I eat 2-3 bowls of cereal every morning. I also eat a bowl of cereal before I go to bed.
2-I came up with the greatest stories and lies as a child, needless to say I ate a lot of soap as a kid!
3- I love animals. I still get teary eyed when I see dead animals on the side of the road, and then I talk about it for hours after. It drives my family nuts.
4- I love getting crazy on the dance floor!

I tag everyone on my blog list! Do it!

Our Rocker Boy!

We went and visited Mike's sister Brooks' house, and this was Bridger's entertainment the whole time we were there! Honestly who needs toys? You just need popcorn and a box!

We ended up finding popcorn pieces in random Creveces days after!

He is starting to get tired.. but gets back up again and goes the rest of the night!

It amazing how a box can be so fun!

This is Uncle James lifting up Bridger.. James is so fun with kids, and all the nieces and nephews just love him!

Bridger has a thing with head banging on anything around him.. I'm not sure why he does it, but maybe he will be a Rocker or something in the future. I posted a video below of his moves. It's a little fuzzy, it was from a phone video. You can also see in the video the energy 18 month old kids have.. It never ends! This is one of my favorite ages, but your pretty exhausted by the end of the day!
