Home Improvement

We decided that it was time to finish painting our room so we went and found some paint that we liked and got to work.

 

First Ultrasound

We went to the doctor on July 25th and were able to get an ultrasound to see our baby and hear its heartbeat. I was 8 weeks along at the time and our baby was 1.5 cm long. It made everything seem more real to be able to hear and see the baby.

Ethan's Wedding

On June 29th we attended the wedding of Brett's brother Ethan. He was married in the Oquirrah Mountain temple to Jocelyn for time and all eternity. It was a beautiful ceremony and a beautiful day outside afterward for pictures. We enjoyed being able to share the special day with them.

Daddy Daugher Trip

June 14-16 we had our yearly Father/daughter get together. This year we decided to go to the tetons and Yellowstone. We stayed in what was called a tent-cabin. So basically it was two walls of cabin and two walls of a tent. It was pretty nice and we had fun even if it was a little crowded with all of us in there. The cabin only provides four cots so we had two on the floor as well so not much floor space but it kept us all nice and toasty.

The first day we just kinda set up camp and walked around a bit in a couple areas. The next day we went to Yellowstone where we spent the majority of the day walking around and looking at all the gysers and hot lakes and such. We saw lots of animals including bison, a coyote, grizzly bears, ravens, and moose. We also got to see some of the hot pots and such that I had never seen before. It was a nice well spent day.

The last day we were there we took a ferry across Lake Jenny and then did a hike up to inspiration point. It took longer than we were planning but it was a nice hike and the view was very pretty. We then took the ferry back across the lake and headed home after lunch. We also drove through Jackson and were looking at a few of the sites there. One thing I saw was an arch made of deer antlers that was pretty cool.

 It was nice to be able to spend the time with all my sisters and sister-in-law and dad. We don't often get to spend a lot of time with one another and this is something we look forward to every year.
