Day spent in Jackson/West Yellowstone!!

Saturday was so fun!! :) 

We woke up and Aust had to go to work for a little, and then we were off to Jackson! :) 

Aust was going to go mountain biking with Blake, while I went shopping with Alex and Ellie in Jackson, but it was raining, so we all just walked around Jackson together! :) It was so fun and Ellie was so happy that whole day!! She is so stinkin cute!!

She really wanted some Huckleberry Soda! ha :)

Then we left Jackson and decided to go through Yellowstone Park to get to West Yellowstone because there was construction the other way... Well little did we realize that we had to pay more than we thought to drive through the park haha and then everyone was driving so slow, so it seemed like such a long drive, but I was actually glad we went that way because it was so pretty and it was so fun to see all the scenery! :)

We got to West Yellowstone and met up with Austin's parents just in time for the show at Playmill that we went to! We saw Fiddler on the Roof and it was a great play/musical!! :D Our seats were at the top where there wasn't any AC!!! Oh man!!! I seriously thought I was going to die!! Like from the beginning when I first sat down it was SO hot!!! So for intermission I usually get Heidi's Fudge, but we had gotten Salted Caramel and Raspberry Chocolate Fudge in Jackson, so Aust got me some ice cream and ice cold water instead!!! MMMM!!! It was perfect since it was so hot!! It cooled me down a little! haha. The heat was worth it though!! We love the Playmill!! :)

Then we ate dinner to finish our fun filled day!! :)

We had a great time with Austin's family and it was so fun!! 

Have a great Monday! :)

Getting Things Ready for Baby Girl!! :)

So this week has pretty much been dedicated to our baby! hahaha. Well kind of!! :)

First, my mom gave us a challenge this year to read the Book of Mormon by the time Andy got home and guess what??!! I finished!! :) Aust and I both!! :) It is such a great accomplishment, and I love reading the Book of Mormon. I feel like I learn something new EVERY single time I read it! :)

Next... so we decided to start getting ready for our baby girl to get here, and to start, we had been using her room as like a storage room and it was just kind of a mess, so we cleaned it up and set up her crib!! :)

Isn't it so cute?? :)

Then I have been trying to make bread so we don't have to buy it from the store, because let's face it... homeade bread tastes SO much better!! :) So I made white bread and cinnamon bread last time, so this time I made wheat bread, and I will probably alternate every time! :) This wheat bread tastes so good!! It is like the perfect consistency and moistness! haha. So we have been eating meat sandwiches and this is an egg salad sandwich I made! :)

So you know how I was talking about getting ready for our baby girl to get here??? Well here is a sneak peek of what I am working on!! :) 

And Thursday (yesterday) I hit the 30 week mark!!! 3/4 the way done!! WOOHOO!! I only have 10 weeks left!! Which my sister informed me that it could be less than 10 weeks too, but if it is, I hope it isn't much less cause I want her to be a healthy baby!! :) I am so excited to meet her!! I can hardly believe July is almost half way over!!!! It is so crazy how fast time flies!! :) 

And this week I ordered my diaper bag!!! :D AHHH!!! I am so excited for it to get here!! :) It feels like there is just so much to do in so little time!! haha. I guess that just means I will be busy getting everything all together, and if any of you are ever wondering where I am... you will know that I am getting ready for our sweet baby girl's arrival!! :D YAY!!! :)

Have a great Friday!!! :) And probably weekend! :)

Busy Partying!!

We have had so much fun since Andy has been home!! Well we had tons of fun before too, but you know what I mean! haha. :)

So the day after Andy got home we went to the temple. We were supposed to go the day he got home, but then he got home on the 4th of July, so the temple was obviously closed. haha. So we went the day after! Then we ate at Nielsen's Frozen Custard, which is always AMAZING!! :) I seriously love their frozen custard!! :) Then everyone came out to our house to play games!! It was a blast!! We played games and talked! :)

The next day Aust and I went fabric shopping for our baby girl's room!! :) Then we ate at Sweeto Burrito (I got the Sweeto Burrito and Aust got the All- American! :D), and then I had my first snow cone (Barbie, which is watermelon and passion fruit!) of the summer!! YUM-O!!!! :D I didn't get any pictures of that date though! DANG!

The next day we went to church and then I made caramel brownies and ate at my mom's and hung out there. We talked, some took naps, and Andy told us all about Brazil and gave us sweet stuff!! :)

This candy is really good actually!! :) And there were also some chocolates that were good! :) One tasted like nutella!! MMM!! The top container is this like peanut butter candy roll things! and then the bottom candy is kind of like a white chocolate kit kat! :)

Andy gave me these havaianas!! They are super comfy flip flops and I have seriously worn them every day since I got them!! haha. Andy was telling us that in Brazil when children or pets are misbehaving, the parents or whoever will take their havaianas off and shake them up by their head as if they were going to smack the kids or pets and the kids or pets would start to behave! hahaha.

He got Aust this sweet soccer jersey!! :) Because obviously soccer is big there!! :D haha. Andy kept showing us things he got and he'd be like, ya this is my soccer team! haha. :) 

It is so fun hearing about Andy's mission experiences and spending time with family!! :) We have been having a blast and have just been busy partying as you can see from this post! :) 

Thanks for the havaianas and jersey Andy (and for sharing your candy with us!! :D)! :) We love them! :)

Have a great Thursday!! :)

4th of July and Andy Getting Home! :)

This year was crazy the week of the 4th of July. 

So Andy was supposed to get home on the 3rd and we had all these things planned to do once he got home, but it was raining really bad in Brazil, so bad that the plane wasn't able to land and pick up Andy, so his arrival back home got changed to July 4th at 4:44pm (Do you like all the 4's??? :))

So since he wasn't getting home on the 3rd anymore, our plans changed a little. I stained the front porch and Hannah, my sister-in-law, was nice enough to come help! :)

That night I went with my family to Pizza Pie Cafe and ate WAY too much pizza!! hahaha. Afterwards we went to my Uncle and Aunt's house for a little bit and then went to my mom's house and my sister JoDee did my hair! :) I have been wanting to lighten it since it's summer and dark hair gets too hot and I have just been wanting a change, so that is what I did!! :)

While my hair was processing JoDee noticed that my feet were swollen... It was so crazy!!!

But the swelling went down after I kept my feet up like all day the next day! haha. :)

The 4th came and it was the big day!!! :) It was also the day I was 29 weeks along!! :) WOOHOO!

We went over to my mom's and made a poster and got everything together to go get Andy!

On our way to the airport it was pouring rain, but then it was such a nice day once we got to the airport and the rest of the day!! :) And also, while we were on our way to the airport we got pulled over, but we didn't get a ticket, and Austin was like, "It's a good thing he wasn't a mormon hater!" hahaha. And I was like, "Ya his parents were probably late to pick him up and so he doesn't want that to happen to anyone! hahaha."

So here are pictures from the airport.. and his plane was a little delayed so he ended up getting to the airport around 5:15! And my sister Sheena and her husband are living in North Carolina, so they weren't able to be there, so we face timed them so they could share the excitement and moment with all of us! :) I will let the pictures do the talking! :)

Here is a little video of my mom and Andy seeing each other for the first time is 2 years! :) Quite the tear jerker!! haha. :)

After the airport we went to my Grandma's for a BBQ for the 4th of July and her birthday, since they are the same day!! :) It was her 85th birthday!! :) It was so fun being able to spend it with all the family minus Sheen. After the BBQ we went to the fireworks in Idaho Falls. They always put on such a great show!!

Well I went to take pictures and didn't realize how bright the flash was, which resulted in this picture!! hahahahahaha.

Then I was able to handle it...

Austin's sister's Hannah and Hailey came and watched the fireworks with us! :)

It was a great 4th of July and it is SO fun having Andy home!! :) 

I hope you all had a great 4th of July!! :)

Have a great hump day!! :)

2 Year Anniversary!!!

To tell you the truth I honestly can't believe I have been married for 2 years!!! :) It has been the best 2 years of my life!!! :) Austin is the best husband ever and he makes me want to do better every day! :) He treats me like a queen and he always reminds me how much he loves me!! Which I love!! :) It is so fun to watch how he reacts to our baby girl moving or just talking about her. He gets so excited and it makes me even more excited!! :) I lucked out in the husband department!! SERIOUSLY!! He is such a gentleman and I will love him FOREVER!! :)

Our anniversary was on July 2, and we celebrated all day! :)

We decided that this year we were going to do some work in our yard for our anniversary (like my mom said... You know you are married and love each other when want to do yard work for your anniversary.). Part of it could be because the only other things we could think of to do was things like, go to lagoon, go to iJump, go mountain biking... all things I can't do since I'm pregnant. haha. But we had such a great time!! :) We have been wanting to sand down our deck and stain it for so long, so we decided that is what we would do! Austin started out the day with getting a sander and picking strawberries for me out of our tiny strawberry patch, and I cut up a watermelon and made blueberry muffins! :) 

Then we went and got our stain! :) Then we got to work!

I sanded a little and then we decided to switch jobs, so Austin sanded the deck  while I pounded down all the nails, which that alone made it look TONS better!!! :) We took a break and had some otter pops!

Then we got back to work. We had to sand because the deck had been painted before that and we wanted to stain it and the paint was peeling and you can't stain over paint, so that is why we were sanding it! haha.

Around 4 ish it started raining a little bit and so we decided to stop for the day. We got all the nailing done and we got tons of the sanding done!! :) We still have some sanding to do, but we are almost done! :) I am so excited to see the finished product! haha. :) Oh and Aust trimmed down all the overgrown bushes around our deck which were extremely overgrown, and so that helped!! And it looks lots better now, even though trimming them down made them just have the branches now, so they kind of look dead, but hopefully it starts growing! :) 

So we got ready to head to town and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner! It was delicious!!! :) We got fried pickles and they were so good!! :) Texas Roadhouse is the place to get appetizers because they aren't expensive, so you don't feel like you have to tame down your main dish to get the appetizer! :) 

After that we went to Lowe's and got hinges and handles for our cabinets that are needing new ones, and so that is how we ended our night!! :)

It was a great anniversary!! :) Austin makes spending time with him so fun, no matter what we are doing!! :) 

Have a great Tuesday!! :)

Weekend Fun!! :)

Saturday was Austin's cousin's baby shower. Her baby is SO tiny!! ha. It was a fun little baby shower and I ate WAY too many cupcakes and slush! haha. :)

Afterwards we went to my mother-in-law's house and I got to play with Ellie and the fam! :) She is so cute!! I can't get enough!!!! haha. :) She was telling so many stories to us all day!! :)

While we were at my in-laws... Austin and Blake went mountain biking up in Jackson and Aust's leg got all scraped up. I feel so bad for him!!! We have been putting antibiotics on it and bandaging it up. I hope it gets better SOON!! Even though he got scratched up he had SO much fun! :)

Well yesterday I was having fun with snapchat and I took this picture and Austin told me I look like a biker girl!! hahahaha. 

Well happy July 1st!!!! :) I can't believe it is July already!!!!!

Have a great Monday! :)
