What a Weekend

Things don't always work out as planned!
We have been planning a trip to Flaming Gorge for several weeks now and have been really excited and just ready to get away. Well we didn't really plan for bad weather....or the stomach flu! The weather most of the weekend was really cold, very windy and rainy. In addition to the bad weather, three of us ended up with the stomach flu, which made for a couple of very long nights! But, besides not feeling well and the bad weather, we were still able to go boating for a little bit, the boys got to go fishing, and Trav caught the only fish of the day, and we still got to do a little four-wheeling. It was still nice to get away and do something a little different.

Five Years

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I can't believe it has already been 5 years since we got married. How time flies. We have had so many good times and have accomplished so much in the last five years. We have purchased two new cars, travelled to Hawaii twice, bought a house, remodeled most of the house and backyard. received promotions in our jobs and are now expecting a baby. I hope that the next 5, 10 or 50 years are just as great, if not better, than these last five.

Happy Anniversary Hun!

Backyard Makeover

I think we have finally come to the end of our backyard makeover. It has been a lot of work and time, but we are really enjoying it! The best part is that it is over with, and we don't have to do it again for years to come! Here are some before and after pictures.

The Details

Now that we have made the official announcement, I'll fill you in on all the details. Travis and I found out a while ago that we would be having our first baby in February of next year. It seems like a long way away, but when you think there is only 6 months left, it seems like just a short amount of time. We told our families on Fathers Day, which really made it fun. We told Travis' Mom and Step Dad with a card saying "Happy Fathers Day..Grandpa." They were both really excited. We told my family by giving my dad a picture frame that said "Welcome Little One" and where the picture goes, it said "Photo Arriving, February 2010." Of course, my family was very excited and very surprised, which made it even better. (Look Dad you made the blog...finally!)My sister was really sweet to make us both gift baskets full of all the things we will need the next few months. Trav has been enjoying his book "My Wife is Having a Baby and I'm Having a Breakdown." And I'm enjoying all the yummy treats she put in it.We are really excited, and a little nervous, but are happy we have awhile to prepare, shop..shop some more and decorate the babies room!

Do you want to take a guess of what the baby is going to be?
When it's going to arrive? Or how big it's going to be?
to make your guess!

A Fun Weekend

On Friday Travis and I played in a Golf Tournament together at Bountiful Ridge Golf Course. It was really early, but lots of fun. Trav won the Closest to the Pin contest which he was really excited about. He is even more excited to spend his gift card at Uinta Golf!

We left that night for Wyoming to go see Travis' family for the weekend. It was Flaming Gorge Days so we got to go to the big parade on Saturday and play at the park afterwards. It was fun to see our nephews and enjoy just being lazy. I enjoyed the nice weather and sitting in the sun.


On Saturday night Trav took me to the big bridge over where the trains sort. It was really cool to see how the whole thing works and to see them up close. I never realized how much work went into putting together one train.

We had a great weekend, and were really tired when we got back. Hopefully we will make it back up there in a couple of months.
