Our exciting news...

Okay, I decided it was time to post this on here...some of my friends already know, but I haven't told a ton of people yet. Anyway, we are expecting! We are way excited about this! I am 16 weeks along now. Our doctor calculated the due date at December 30, but it might be December 26...we'll see as it gets further along, but at any rate, it is right around Christmas! So, yea...that's our exciting news!!!

Rainbow Bridge Hiking to Rainbow Bridge...it was so blasted hot, so we're looking especially cute!!!
Getting ready for the tour of Glen Canyon Dam...
Horseshoe Bend...
A little canyon we explored a bit...

Last week we went to Lake Powell with my family...we were gone for a full week! We had a lot of fun! We went with my dad's cousin and his family, so there was a grand total of 21 of us! We camp and then go out in the boats in the morning and stay until it's nearly dark. Besides the usual boating stuff, we did canyon exploring, we hiked to Rainbow Bridge and to Horseshoe Bend, and we went on a tour of the Glen Canyon Dam. Bridger really loved this whole trip! He did great, even though he missed tons of sleep! I think his favorite thing was when he went on a nice slow tube ride with Josh...Josh said he didn't want to stop! He also loved swimming in the water. Bridger was so funny whenever the boat was driving... he would immediately hold on to the brim of his hat and put his thumb on his glasses so that they wouldn't blow off. We always told him we would hold them for him, but he was just too worried and didn't want to lose either item! Anyway, it was a fun trip, but now I am trying to finish unpacking and getting the laundry done, which is always the worst part of a trip...but it's worth it!

Pony Express Days...

Eagle Mountain had their city celebration this past week, called Pony Express Days. On Saturday, Bridger and I went to the parade...Bridger loved it! It was actually a pretty long parade, I was surprised! I think my favorite thing to see in the parade was the missionaries in a golf cart...how great is that?! Bridger got a balloon in the shape of a flower and thought it was the greatest. These pics are from the parade...my neighbor took them and they turned out really cute! We also took Bridger to the carnival Saturday evening. We took him on a few rides, but I think his fave was the boats, because he could drive them and ring the bell on the boat. Every time he would pass by us, he would say, "I'm driving the boat." I think he had a great time and it was so fun for us to see how excited he was about it!

Island Park...

Josh, Bridger and I went to Island Park this past Thursday through Sunday. My dad and his good friend Bart were making their annual Henry's Lake fishing trip, so I decided to come along, since my grandma and her husband were up there. We had a great time and it was nice to get out of the house. Island Park is so beautiful right now, I just love it...it is so peaceful. Bridger had a great time amusing Grandma and Grandpa (my grandma's husband, Merlin). We took Bridger to Big Springs, where there are usually an incredible amount of huge fish, but for some reason there were only about 4 fish we saw...but Bridger was okay with that. We brought popcorn to feed the fish, but they weren't interested, however the seagulls were and Bridger loved this! He constantly threw out little handfuls of popcorn until it was all gone. Josh also had a great time fishing. I am posting a pic of him and JD with some fish Josh caught...sorry the pic is probably a little gross to some of you! Anyway, it was a very nice weekend!

Shout out to Josh...

Our neighbor actually works with Josh, and recieved the Medal of Merit as well...

Yesterday, Josh's work had an award's banquet. We were notified he would be recieving an award, but didn't know what it was for. So, we were sure to RSVP and found a sitter and were able to go and enjoy a nice dinner. When the awards came around, we were very excited to find out Josh recieved an award for Medal of Merit. It is a pretty neat award, so way to go Josh!
