And here's the kitty after getting tangled in my wedding necklace. It's really thin, so it's hard to see, but she's got it around her neck.
It's been really fun having a more full house. It feels lonely when it's just me and Kyle now. The other night Jess had a sleepover and our cat was recovering from surgery at the vet and the housse felt so empty!!!
Brit graduated a coupl weeks ago. I made her this back up boyfriend during the ceremony. I left off the mouth so she can't kiss him.
Here's everyone who came. And below is a picture of her boyfriend if you were too embarrassed to stare at him during the Memorial day barbeque.
This weekend we went on the first Murray/Walter/Brown Family vacation since we've been married. Kyle randomly picked the location: Vernal. And it was really fun.
Kyle didn't quite trust the museum. If you can't read it, above says: "Ginkgo tree: Never loses its leaves".
The opposite side says: "Ginkgo tree: Loses its leaves in autumn".
Connor, Elise, and Jessica (below) having fun being scientists.
Kyle and Kevin....I have no words for their beauty.
Kyle and Kevin did a modeling shoot with all the dinosaurs outside. Here's just a couple of them.
The fabulousaurus.
Erinn broke the rules and got off the path for this family picture. I think Connor was confused when he wasn't allowed off the path for the rest of the time at the museum.
Kyle's mom and grandma.
The challenge of the trip was to cut this log in half. Jessica, Kyle and Kevin all tried at it. Kevin was the one to get the glory for it though.
Kyle's step-dad, Chuck, was the pony express on his bike and delivered things between our two campsites on his collapsable bike.
We hiked to some petroglyphs and I thought I was going to die. Kyle found this one after I gave up and went to the car. He said this one was bigger than he is.
Jess found this sign.
Kyle, who yells at me for wearing pajamas to Walmart, decided that this was an acceptable outfit for going to 7-11. Yes, those sweats have elastic on the bottom.
After everyone was going home Kyle, Jess and I went on one last adventure to the Quarry. But the Quarry was closed so we went near it.
This was the coolest of the THREE bones we saw in the mountainside. This is five vertabraes of a real life Dinosaur.
The hike to the bones was all of 3/4 of a mile. But I had to rest. Kyle shaded me, because he is that great of a husband :)
But unfortunately this Alligator fossil bit off his head at the end of the adventure.
Kyle turned 28 this week! How old!!! Jk. Wendy's family threw him a mini party tonight. Jessica made the most amazing cake for him. Something I will never be able to beat. And they got him an air soft gun since some wretched kid stole his from his car. It was really sweet and fun. The most memorable quote from the night was Jeremy telling Jess his great idea for when she gets a job: "Instead of putting the money in the cash register, you should put it in your pocket!"

I went to Seattle this weekend for Keri's birthday.
I only took pictures at the zoo, so enjoy!
This is Erik in his happiest moment. He was so excited to see the peacocks spread their wings. He had never seen it before this trip to the zoo.
We did do other stuff, like go to Goodwill and shopping. Which is where I finally tried on maternity pants and fell in love.
We also went out to eat a couple places. I got the most amazing pasta at Red Robin and the best tacos I've ever had in my life. I can't stop thinking about them and imagining how to recreate them.
We also played games, of course. And Keri was so upset that I didn't bring the rules to my new game up with me. Even if I hadn't lost the rules I probably wouldn't have brought them. I like having that power :)
We also watched the lamest movie ever. Whoever told us it was good is in trouble. It was "The Invention of Lying".
Taryn got pictures of her Disneyland trip from her neighbor. It was over 500 pictures printed out. This is how Taryn looked through them:
It was a fabulous trip, but way too short. I wish I could go every weekend. Or at least once a month. Anyone willing to fund that?
