Bear Lake and Jackson Fun!

We had a blast the last couple weeks. We spent some time in Bear Lake, and then Bridge and I stayed up in Wyoming while Mike had to go back to work and school(poor guy). Then he came up for the fourth and we had a great time with Fam and Friends! Here are the highlights...

Bridge loved playing on the shore throwing rocks in the water.

My Cute Parents!

Bridger Gondola Ride

We had a fun day with Steph and her cute kids. My Dad works at the Jackson Hole Resort so we got to go up on the Bridger Gondola and eat lunch up there, and the kids played in the snow. The kids Loved it! It brought back painful memories when I went up there when I was 7 months pregnant with Bridger, and I hiked down it, which was 8 miles all down hill. Tagen had bet me that I couldn't do it, so I had to prove her wrong. It was the worst bet I ever made. I couldn't walk for 2 weeks, and going down stairs was the worst, I had to crawl.

The kids- Wyatt, Bridger, and Lilly.. Bridger the whole time kept saying Wow Wow!

We played at the park in Jackson afterwards and Bridger loved Lilly. She would hold his hand and take him everywhere.

Bridger's 1st Car!

When Bridger turns 16 he gets my parents oldie brown jeep. I used to drive it back in the day. He got to go on a spin with Grandpa and honk the aaoohhgaa horn.

4th of July Fun!

For the past few years we have had a big 4th of July party at my parents place. It's a blast having lots and Fam and Friends together. One of the things we did was we played swimming pool baseball this year and it was a blast. Your bases are little pools and then for the home run you have to slide into the big pool. It became a little crazy but so much fun!

Mike was crazy with his slides!

Bridger's turn up for Bat.

Sliding into Home base!

Lake Fun!

Here's my awesome cousin Al kayaking by the shore.

Garrett and his Girfriend Hetty came out for the 4th too. We all went canoeing and we felt like we were going to tip the whole time because Bridger was moving all around. The water was like 30 degrees, so we didn't want to fall in.

Us in front of Cottonwood Lake. Isn't that view amazing?

Group shot with Hetty and Garrett and my Dad and my Mom. Garrett's always been like a big bro to me. It's really fun having him back closer and Hetty is the greatest girl!

TIMEOUT TIME!

We have just started doing timeouts with Bridger. He thinks there funny for some reason, and when he sits there he says "I funny" over and over, and he gives us this classic look. I always have to turn away from him when we count because otherwise I can't control myself from laughing.. Little stinker!!

Fun Filled Week!

It's been so great to have a Summer to do things other than the horse business. We just stayed so busy with it that we didn't have time for anything else. This last week we went to the zoo, lagoon, and boating. Mike has been so busy with work and school that we hardly ever see him. Bridge will cry throughout the day "where's Daaady?" It breaks my heart.. so I'm trying to occupy him with fun activities. Here are some pics for the week. We also found out that I'm measuring a couple weeks ahead of my due date, so that was some good news. I'm sure he'll probably decide to stay in for an extra week like Bridge did! Oh well..

ZOO FUN WITH SOME FRIENDS AND THERE KIDS
A group of us meet up at the Zoo with our kids.. It was lots of fun!

Here are all the Kiddos with Camille, Kelly, and Me.

Bridge on the new carousel ride at the Zoo. He had to switch from animal to animal.


Visiting Gram and Grandpa Parker

I have the sweetest Grandparents.. They really are so wonderful. I hope to raise my kids like they raised my Dad and his brothers and sisters. There kids are wonderful people and parents.

LAGOON FUN WITH AMBER AND AVERY..

I love this picture! We sent Avery and Bridger out driving, and when they turned the corner this is what we see. Avery was screaming and Bridger had this big smiling grin!

Amber and Sweet Avery!

BOATING FUN!

Bridger thought he was driving when the truck was pulling us into the water.

Tubbing fun with Dad!

Our brave boy just jumped right in to the cold water. He has no fear, kinda scary!

I wasn't planning on going into the water, but Bridger talked me into it. He would say "Mommy wata wata?"

Camping, Family, Friends...FUN..

We had a pretty great weekend. We spent Saturday with Mike's Fam.. Bridger got to play with some of his cousins. Then we went up camping in Eden with some of our fam and friends, it was a blast! Except Mike and I and Bridger slept on the same air mattress and shared a sleeping bag.. needless to say I didn't sleep much with my BIG belly!

These two worked together riding the John deere truck. Hagen stepped on the pedal, while Bridger steered the wheel.
Popsicle time with the cousins!

Bridger ran off and I couldn't find him anywhere, I was getting nervous...but then I decided to look in the shed and this is what I found!

Bridger is obsessed with the lawn mower!! He rides in a backpack when Mike mows the lawn.

Bridger loves his Aunt Erin.. Mike really has such wonderful brothers and sisters.. I love them all!

Bridger also loves his Aunt Brook...

Chillin by the fire with our friend Ruben..

The Camping Clan!

Garrett and his cute girlfriend came over for a BBQ on Friday. They are the cutest couple.. Bridger loved them both.

You gotta love Garretts face, and this was the most normal of all the pics I took.

Awesome Surprise!!

Well we had an awesome surprise on Saturday night... My mom and dad flew Tagen and Eric in, and they surprised us. We hardly ever see Tag and Eric because they live in California, so it was so great to have them come! Bridger just loves them to death, especially Aunt Tagen because she plays trains with him.

Tagen, me, my Mom, and Bridger(picking a big one)!

My Good Lookin Fam!lol

We have so much fun together..

Bridger with Pampa

Our neighbors cut down this huge tree in there yard, and now Bridger just wants to go play on the huge stump all day.

The boys with our dogs!

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.
