Yellowstone

Posted on Saturday, November 8, 2014



Prepare yourself for this post.  I am about to dump a bajillion pictures on you from a vacation that happened months ago. But I love these pictures and I loved this trip, so....

This summer we went on a weekend trip to Yellowstone.  It was so much fun! I love Yellowstone! Since we were only there for a few days we spent most of our time driving, and driving, and driving, trying to see as much as possible.  Hudson surprisingly handled this so well! Our main goal was to see a ton of wildlife and we were not disappointed.



We loved that there were bison everywhere, in our campsite on the roads, everywhere.  Note below the guy getting way to close for a selfie.











Old Faithful kind of ended up being one of our least favorite attractions, it was neat, but there were so many people there.  The hot springs were all so neat, poor color blind Jason couldn't see all the cool colors though.  The rainbow smoke from the spring above was awesome!



Guys, we saw a bear! We were so excited because that is the one thing we wanted to see, and it was even a grizzly.  It may look far away in the picture but when an animal is that massive there is no way we would want to be any closer.  There were so many times we saw people getting way to close to wildlife, and this was one of those times.  Nobody was hurt of course, but once we saw the bear running towards a few loud people, we were out of there real fast.









Can I just live in Yellowstone all summer?  It is so gorgeous. We ended our little trip with a picnic by the lake, watching a couple lone boats with Hudson. I hope we can make this trip a yearly thing, because I feel like there is so much more to do and see there!

Happy Halloween

Posted on Monday, November 4, 2013

I have always loved Halloween.  Fall time, costumes, and of course candy, what's not to love!?  It is fun to enjoy Halloween a little differently with a toddler and watch him enjoy himself, observing so many new things. We went to the trunk or treat in my parents neighborhood to let Hudson do a little trick or treating. 


He was the most adorable little elephant!  I think I might dress him up like that again, just to watch him run around in his costume!



I was impressed with how well he picked out candy!  I was expecting him to try and eat every piece he got, but was so good!  He would take his time and look for just what he wanted from the bowl, grab a hand full, and carefully put it in his bucket.



He did get a bit overwhelmed by all the costumes.  For some reason he would not let me or Jason hold him, only my mom, he cried every time she tried to let him walk, or we tried to hold him.  Maybe it was our cowboy hat "costumes" we had on?  But really, I don't think his Grandma was complaining at all.



The next morning I walked into the living room and realized I forgot to put his candy away, he had climbed onto the couch and was sorting through the candy. It was one of those moments where I felt like I was the mom of a boy and not a baby.



On the way to trick or treat we stopped at a park we took pictures at last week, which Hudson loved, to let him play a little, see him in his spooky pjs...

Yay for Fall!

Posted on Friday, October 14, 2011

I know, I know I am horrible blogger. I feel that I have so much to post about that I don't know where to begin! I'll make it easy on myself and start with today. Hopefully I will get around to our trip to Oklahoma for B.C. and Katie's wedding, seeing our cute new nephew Asher for the first time, and everything else soon.

When I got home from work my iPhone had arrived! For some reason Jason thought it would be a great joke to hide it from me. It didn't take me long to find it in the dirty clothes, but apparently he thought that would be the last place I would look. Since i NEVER do laundry... Proved him wrong!

This evening we took a drive up the AF canyon. I love all the beautiful colors up the canyon in the fall time. It is fun to basically see the progression of fall as you drive higher and higher, starting with green trees and ending with trees already half bare and orange. Here are some pics from Instagram which I am already spending way to much time playing with!
