A Month of FUN!



We have done so much in these last few weeks this might be the longest most scattered post ever. But since I turn this blog into a book every year I gotta keep track of all these things. So to start off from where I left off a few weeks ago....

DJ and I celebrated our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I can hardly believe it has been one year. I always kind of got annoyed when I would read peoples comments that said that. "We've been married a year. That flew by so fast!" You know what though? They are so true. It FLEW by! I guess your so busy you don't even realize how much time has passed. 
 I ended up having to work but DJ surprised me that evening with a hotel room at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. It was so gorgeous. We ate at the Homestead and went and looked at the Crater. It was fun I might of accidentally promised DJ I would learn to Scuba some day... I might have to break that promise now that my mind is in tacked. (Any one who knows me knows I'm deathly scared of what lies UNDER the WATER!) Anyway our weekend was amazing. I can not even begin to explain how lucky I am to have such an amazing husband. This year has been the best of my life and I know there are many many more to come. I have it so good!




Then that same weekend my whole family came in to town. It was the first time since my wedding we had all been together. It was so fun to have everyone around. My Sisters and I threw my Sister in Law Kathryn a baby shower on Tuesday.




Then on Wednesday we all went to Eclipse. My sister Megan is somewhat obsessed but I love that she is. It was fun to get the whole inside scoop of the movie sitting next to her.
(Thanks Ashley for the picture!)

Then on Thursday (yes your getting a day by day blog!) we left on a family trip to Island Park, Idaho. My parents rented out a cabin about a half hour outside Yellowstone. We headed up a little early on Thursday to hit some random stops on the way.

We stopped at Smith and Edwards! I love that store. I think it is so funny. DJ had never been there and I'm pretty sure he loved it also. My Mom gave each kid $1, we each had to go pick out the funniest thing we could and whoever had the best won. Well I'm pretty sure DJ and I kicked butt! I got a (I'm pretty sure used) Rat Trap and DJ got a mosquito net hat.



Then we stopped at Lava Hot Springs. It was a BLAST. DJ, Gregg and I jumped off a 50ft. ( I think) platform. It was scary. We ended up swimming all afternoon.




Then we spent the night at Idaho Falls in a creepy nasty hotel we'll call it an adventure though!
The falls were beautiful though.








Then the next morning we hit BEAR WORLD! Ha ha ya gotta love good ol Bear World.





















And finally we hit Island Park!




We took canoes out of the river, went to Yellowstone, took many many many family photos and it was all so fun!


We still have a few more trips planned for the summer so many more posts to come!
