Gettin into Mischeif









I do have to say Braxy and Macie are at a really fun stage. I have had both of them today and they are crawling all over the place and playing so cute together. I was putting the dishes away today and had the tupperware drawer open and you sould have thought that I opened a new box of toys. They are still playing in it!

Taylor Swift Concert






My friend Jeanene and I have wanted to go see Taylor swift ever since her tickets went on sale. Apparently the few hints we gave our husbands did not work because they did not get us tickets. So we have been trying to win them like crazy and had a deal that whoever won would take the other. Well Guess what, Tuesday morning (the morning of the concert) I called in at 7:15 and I was caller 13 and won. We had so much fun and our seats were awesome. We were facing the stage and 12 rows up. At one point in the concert she went into the audience and sang on the upper level then walked down and performed a few songs right in front of us. It was a great girls night out!

Grizzley Bear (the injured one)






Old Faithful and the surrounding smaller Gysers





We went with Brooks's family over Memorial weekend to Yellowstone. We have always enjoyed this trip as a family and this time was not any different. Braxy did awesome on his first road trip. We bought him a new car seat before we left so he would sit up higher and be able to see out better as well. We hooked up the dvd player and he was a happy camper. We left Thursday night and went through the park Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday we happened upon a Grizzly bear that was literally 100 yards from the road. We were able to get out and get some great pics. The rangers said it was a young cub and that it was injured and not doing well. They think the mother was killed and the cub was able to get away but did have a huge gash on its head and a broken jaw. It had been laying down for a few days and when we got there it started to get up and eat. You would never be able to get that close to an uninjured bear. We saw many buffalo of course, elk, a moose and antelope. Black bear cubs and wolves. On Monday we headed home and went to Big Springs to see the fish and then made our usual stop at Bear world. We saw lots of bears and cubs. Braxy even got to pet a deer in the petting zoo. It was a wonderful trip and we always have a blast telling jokes on the walkie talkies. I am so lucky to be part of such a great family!

Mothers Day









Well this year I finally got to celebrate Mothers day! It was such a fun day and I am so greatful that we Have Braxy in our lives. We got up early and Braxy and Brooks gave me flowers and a card. Then we got ready and went to Little America for brunch with my family. After brunch we went to visit Grandma Lucy, while we were at Grandmas Braxy decided he would give me one more gift and starting crawling like crazy. He has been threatening it for a while and has done it a few times but he finally got the hang of it and started cruising and we cant stop him! after grandmas we headed to Scott and Aubreys to see their new place. We ended the day with Brooks family having a BBQ at Brooks's parents house. It is so fun to have so many great mothers to spend the day with and to finally be able to celebrate it myself!
