Martin's Cove!

This one time we went to Martin's Cove!  I had never been there before so it was really cool for me.  We went to Independence Rock and then off to Martin's Cove.  Warning: I look like a large lemon drop.

 There it is! Independence Rock.

 This not so little guy scared me to death.  No it's not a rattler but just as terrifying when you come around the bend and there he is.  I made Brandon take the picture.

On top of the rock people have carved their names into the rock.  It was so cool because even though some of them are super old they are really clear.  Something we noticed was how awesome their handwriting was for being carved into rock.

On top of the rock! You could see forever off the top of it.

Camille, Brandon and I decided to go down the side of the rock instead of the back, "easier" way.  This is us at the bottom of the rock.  Yup, definitely climbed down that at 7 months pregnant!

After Independence Rock we went to Martin's Cove.  We walked from the visitor's center to the Cove, around the Cove and back to the visitor's center.  A total of 5 miles.  Brandon made me ride in the handcart on the way back, which was probably a good thing because I was pretty tired.

 Feeling pretty good when we started!

 I think that Split Rock was supposed to be behind us, hence our 'splitting'.

 Deer! We also saw a lot of antelope.

 These statues are in tribute to the men that carried the pioneers across the Sweetwater River.

And finally the baby bunny that we saw on our way back from the statues.  So cute!! Brandon took this picture too.

All in all it was a lot of fun!  

Picture Update!!

I'm trying to get updated on all our recent doings before this baby comes... which will be the next week or two. AH!! We're super excited and we know that our lives will be changing so we had to get in a few adventures before she comes.

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went to my Mom's for Amber's bridal shower.

Filling out a questionnaire about Amber and Marc

Opening presents.  She had lots of help!

And who can resist this face?

On Sunday we went to the cemetery to put flowers on the graves. 

Ashlynn at her Great-grandparents' graves.  AKA my grandparents.

At my Grandpa Dunn's headstone and my Uncle David's.  Mostly we're just really cool.

My Daddy's headstone.  It's so pretty!

On Monday we went to Jerold and Joni's for a BBQ and skimboarding!

Brandon and I didn't actually participating in the skimboarding but Ashlynn and Camden did!

Amber's Wedding!

On June 14th Amber married Marc in the Brigham City Temple!

I had to put the picture of Derek up because I'm pretty sure Jason is super proud of it. :)

We're not really ready for this picture but you can kind of see my belly :)

This has turned out to be a lot more pictures than I thought it would be so I will post pictures of our adventure to Martin's Cove later this week... hopefully :)

Bear World!

So near Rexburg there is this place called Bear World... it has a lot of bears.  It's actually pretty cool but super expensive.  Fortunately today they were having a 'Mom's get in free day' and since we only have 10 weeks left we figured that I counted.  We went with Brandon's Grandma and his aunt and uncle.  It was fun and I got a lot of great pictures so be prepared!

 This guy just sat and stared at us.

 The deer and elk look really gross right now because they're all shedding.

 WOLVES!

 The baby bears were so cute!  There were five males and all they wanted to do was wrestle and fight.  I am super excited that this picture turned out so well!

 Grizzly bears are huge!! We decided to see how we measured up.  Our little girl even got in on the picture :)

 There are bears in the background.

 Brandon and his uncle kept messing with the swan and finally it reached up and bit their toes.

 The petting zoo! The deer just sucked on Brandon's shirt.  I wasn't fast enough with the camera to get a picture of that.  

 Brandon's aunt feeding the deer.

 Petting the goat and trying to push over the large pig.

 White Elk!

 The light colored bears are actually black bears.  I didn't get a good picture of the grizzly bears.

 This little guy just sat on his house eating the leaves.  And these two bears started going at it as we came around the corner.  We drove right past them!

Yup... We're just that cool. :)

GRADUATION!!

So apparently I have this thing for graduating... I've done it at least three times.

High School!

After high school I went to Rock Springs, Wyoming where I graduated from Western Wyoming Community College with my Associates of Fine Arts!

And then I married Brandon and moved up to BYU-Idaho where I have officially graduated from with my Bachelor's of Science in Theatre Education!

Yay!! This was a long time in coming and needed to happen now!  You can see in this next picture how excited I was to be there.  The girl next to me was incredibly friendly... I've never met her before.

Our baby girl even got to be in the pictures!

Well that's about it.  I had to student teach a week and a half after I graduated which was really hard but we made it and Brandon even has an internship for the summer in Wyoming!  So back to Wyoming we go!
