jAcKsOn HoLe, Wy

This past Labor Day weekend we headed to Jackson Hole to hang out and go shopping. On our way home it was like a blizzard and barely 32 degrees!! Get ready for Winter!!!

I've been having problems loading and saving pictures, so I'll update pics when I figure it out.

Irrigating Fun

This Labor Day weekend we were looking for a big field to play ball and to fly airplanes in...so we headed to Austin's parents house. When we got to their house the entire yard and field was a big pond. Grandpa had just irrigated. So, we jumped in and the kids had a blast!

Twin Falls Open House

Last Monday, we went to the Twin Falls Temple for its open house. Austin's family came along and my mom did too! It is such a beautiful temple.

Our little family (this is all Kaydree would give us :) )

While my mom was here we decided to go to the Tautphaus Park Zoo. My twin sister Traci and her new husband, Gary came up from Utah to go with us too!

We finally convinced Kaydree to stand next to the tiger!

Potty Training

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and have come to the conclusion that it's potty training time for Kaydree. She knows a little too much about a certain topic and so we are moving on up. I started yesterday and after 2 agonizing hours...it came. Potty that is. After that she just wouldn't do it. I have myself doing things I said "I" would never do. But when it comes to just how badly I want it I just had to give in. After potty dances, stickers, treats, charts, the thought of Grandma coming, and big girl panties she gave in to the potty once again today...Here's the proof! Ha! Kind of a gross proud mommy moment. I know. But we'll see.......

Chuckars Game

Last Friday we went to the Minor League baseball game to see the Idaho Falls Chuckars play. Brayden was one of two toddlers selected to be a part of the baby derby. They rolled out rugs to see who would be the first to either walk or crawl to the finish line. Brayden decided that when it was time to perform he would rather watch the crowd's reaction instead. So 4,000 people sat there laughing while I tried everything to get him to move. Finally he did and finished a year after the other baby but they each still got a Target gift card. It was fun though.

Home Sweet Home

I'm back to blogging again! We finally got all settled into our new house and got our internet hooked up. What crazy fun the past 2 weeks have been. We lived with Austin's family for about a week, celebrated 4th of July, a birthday party, 3 birthdays and a bunch of summer fun in between! We also had a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Her baby finally came home on Sunday and now weighs in at close to 5 pounds! Yea! Here are a few pictures of the fun we had. Those house pictures I promised are coming soon!

Moving Time

We are finally moving! We are moving out of our tiny apartment, staying with Austin's family for a few days until the final touches are finished with our house, and then we are moving into our new house!! (I know what you're thinking...and yes we move around a lot.) Our internet will be disconnected until July 7th...but I'll update everyone on things then. Ta Ta for now!!!
P.S. I'll make sure to have pictures ready!

Quick Road Trip

Saturday afternoon, Austin and I were feeling the need to do something so we decided to hop in his truck and drive to Utah to see Traci and to meet her new husband Gary. We hung out, went swimming, out to dinner, and watched a movie. We also took the kids to some old train station in Ogden.
