Jackson Hole

We all went to Jackson (as you've seen from Amy and Amber's blogs) to visit David.  He works giving the sleigh rides on the elk refuge up there.  It was really neat to see what he does, how knowledgeable he is and to be so close to the elk.  It was definitely cold, be we all survived!  We later walked around Jackson a little and then went dinner at a restaurant called Route 89 (I think!).  We also celebrated Mom's B-day with a super yummy ice cream cake. 

Sunday we went to church and then all departed on our separate routes home.  We had come up t hrough Logan (because I love Logan and always want a chance to visit) and came back home through Rexburg so we could see the temple.  Carlos has never been to Jackson and he loved it!  I've been trying to convince him to go for years and now I think it won't be too hard to convince him to return in the summer.  The temple in Rexburg was beautiful but a lot smaller than what the pictures make it look like.  I hadn't realized it was so close to the BYU-I campus either.  We had a good trip and the boys were really good considering the very few stops we made. 

We love to travel and visit new places and wish we could do it more often. 

 

 

 

Here's most of the group!  The dad's kept the babies warm!

 

The snow over Teton Pass was so deep!  What you see at the right of the picture on the right is a speed limit sign!

WooHooo!

Carlos finally has his private pilot license!  The FAA examiner lives in Colorado and is only out here about once a week.  With the way the weather has been these last couple of lovely months, every time he's been here, it's been just lovely (NOT) outside. 

Friday the 15th we stopped at the airport so he could finish (he had already done most of the test) and then continued up to Logan to stay with Ryan and Jenna before going to Jackson Hole the next day.  

 

He was pretty excited!  So was I!

Either I have a tumor...or I'm pregnant!

At the suggestion of everyone at Jamie's farewell, I decided to go ahead with this title for my post. For those of you who weren't there, yes, I'm pregnant. It was just a little bit of a shocker, especially since I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was about 14 weeks along. I had been feeling awful, (not throwing up or anything) just so exhausted that I was non-functional and honestly praying many days to just be able to make it through the day. I contributed that state of exhaustion to the stress of getting the house ready to sell, major stress with school, and the fact that I was only sleeping a few hours a night. But then all of a sudden I started thinking, okay, either I have a huge tumor or I'm pregnant because I have a bump in my tummy. I took two tests (which both immediately came up positive) and took nearly two weeks to get the courage to tell Carlos (I didn't want to add to his stress with school and all.....). I finally told him, we called the doctor. They got us in that week, but the day of my appointment the doctors mother-in-law died. So they still had me go to the office for the paperwork and stuff the nurse does, then I went back the next week for and ultrasound to find out how far along I was. I had be nursing Austin still, but had been drying up. I thought it was due to stress!!! Hmmm. So, at the ultrasound appointment, I was 17 weeks along and at the same time found out it's another boy! So, this was very unplanned and I'm still having a hard time getting used to the idea, but I guess I don't have to endure 9 whole months of pregnancy, since I'm now at 21 weeks! Austin and this babe will only be 14 months apart, life is going to be crazy for a while, but we'll be okay.

Now I have to go and scream because my neighbor high school boy is practicing his bagpipe outside and it's almost 9:00 at night! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
