Island Park Cabin Campout

So many fun pictures for such a short vacation!!
My brother Bryson is in town for a few weeks and wanted to go to our family cabin in Island Park, Idaho (right outside West Yellowstone) So even though mark had to work, I decided Peyton and I just had to go! Let me just say this, my kid is a "rock star!!" I can't believe how well he behaved for a 2 year old! As you can see we went canoeing for almost 2 hours and he stayed put the whole time! Yeah!

Every year we see moose on the river, Peyton kept yelling: look mama, moose! this year we saw 2 moose, one small female and one male.




Peyton loved sleeping in the sleeping bag! And, surprise! He was always the last one up in the morning!





My Mom and Dad even tried to teach Peyton to fish. Peyton got to reel in a catch, but as soon as he saw the fish he got freaked out!!

It's A Boy!

Mark and I are so excited to be having boy number 2!
It's always hard to see what you're looking at in ultrasound pictures but I've included them anyway. The first two pictures are of his bottom looking up, the arrow points at the boy parts. And the last picture shows the front of the baby (head on the left with his hands by his face)

2nd trimester is "nesting mode" so I am already going crazy preparing and crafting and re-reading "baby wise". Those who know me best, know I have to be super prepared months ahead of time or I'm just frazzled.... so here we go again!!!

Independence Day

We had so much fun this year hanging out with family and friends!! And this was the first year Peyton wasn't afraid of the fireworks!
Happy Independence Day!!

Cherry Hill

Melissa, Callie, and I took the kids to Cherry Hill
last week!! So much fun, it always seems like the
adults get more tired than the kids. I wished I
could have slept in the car on the way home and
Peyton could have driven home....

here are some pictures of my sunshine Peyton!
