JacKson LaKe

What an awesome time we had in Jackson Lake this year..
This was our view from our camp spot.
We had 3 black bears surrounding us and enjoying the berries..


We did some hiking






We canoed.
Bridge dropped the fishing pole in the water,
and Mike had to snorkel to get it.


Tag, Bridge and Eric



Brody loved camping!
He seriously was so content the whole time,
and he slept all through the night all bundled up.


Many sword fights

sweet baby

we caught a snake



This is my favorite..
Foster woke up and was walking goofy out of the tent with crazy hair.
love him!


We Loved our campfires..
with many funny stories told


Nothing beats my Dad's breakfast cookin over the fire..
Dutch oven eggs and sausage and pancakes





The kids were so entertained the whole time exploring.


i love Eric's redneck cowboy shirt.



smores. Smore of what?



Bridger loves tubing,
me too!





Until next year Jackson Lake!

HoMe

Wyoming...
It feels like home to me!
I love everything about it.
(ok not the -30 degree weather:)
When i go to Wyoming I feel like I fit in better.
Our kids are so happy, and they never want to leave..
Running outside, exploring, peeing where they want, and being with there Grams and Papa..
Couldn't get better right?
I decided a month ago to head up there during the week and get away from the heat..
Brody cried the whole the way there,
Foster and Bridger played Power Rangers
(which includes slugging each other back and forth)
Joyful, i know..
Once we got there the kids were so happy..

FOSTER turns 3!!!

OOhh i can't believe Foster is 3!
Our funny, jokester of a boy..
i sure love him.
He keeps our family laughing a lot,
and scares me with some of the crazy stunts he tries!
Here are some things Foster is into right now:

He is potty trained!!!wahoo
The moment i stopped asking him to go to the potty and just told him to wear a diaper.. He decided to go! That is our Foster, very independent!
-He always has random funny stories he makes up
-He loves being in the mountains, hiking and camping.
-He loves Power Rangers
-Loves his Juicy, and twirls his hair every time he drinks it.
-Bridger is his best buddy, and he looks up to him a lot!
-His friends are: Paigey, Violet, and Bridger's friends.
-He LOVES to make people laugh.
-He will do just about anything to make you laugh..
(which can be scary sometimes:)

Foster had a week full of Birthday celebrations...
Here it goes:

Birthday Morning

Foster woke up to his favorite surprises!
His very own helium tank, and a gun..
If you know Foster well you know he is obsessed with balloons.
He can blow them up super big, and it entertains him for hours.

TRAIN RIDE
Foster has been asking forever to go on a train ride.
So we made it happen for his B-day!

He was one had happy kid!!
At one of the stops we had a bum come and chat with us..
He was pretty hilarious..
I'm pretty sure he had drunk quite a bit of Grandpa's Cough medicine!
The boys kept quoting some of the things he was telling us.
"Sometimes your parents are wrong and sometimes they are right.. but you still have to hug them."

Then we hit up Gateway

Bridge loved it!



Grama and Papa Wyoming hung with Brody

We hit up Union Station Mexican Restaurant for dinner..
It was yummy!

FUN with AUNT TAGEN
Tagen had a special day for Fost.
She took him to a build a bear type place, he picked out a Dragon named Jack, and he got a balloon.
We then went and visited Uncle Eric, and ate Cafe Rio.
We hiked up little cottonwood up to a waterfall



The boys thought it was so cool to go under the waterfall and play
