Yellowstone

Ignore the shadow over my face and the 7 1/2 month belly.

We did it! It only took David 29 years and myself 26 years, but we finally made our first trip to Yellowstone! We decided quite a while ago that we wanted to plan a real family vacation for a week to the national park, and in March we made our reservations at the campground for our trip in July. After trying to book one that was actually in the park, and failing, we made our reservation at Rainbow Point Campground in West Yellowstone. (About 10 miles from the West Entrance.) We booked side by side spots for Grandma and Grandpa Jensen and ourselves and invited some friends of ours to tent camp in our spots. The weather was fantastic most of the time with only a little bit of rain here and there. We walked to the lake a couple of days and just enjoyed our time away. Here's a few pictures...

Cool stump where we camped at Hebgen Lake.

Lower Falls = BEAUTIFUL

My honey and I. Grandma and Grandpa Jensen. We were so glad they got to go with us!

Our friend Ricky and David's brother James.

Buffalo kindly reminding us that this was his territory. Not ours.

We wore Glaiden out after the first day in the Park.

Caution: Don't forget a stroller when you take a 2 1/2 year old to Yellowstone. Dad will get tired.
The Grizzly we got to see trying to cross the river at Fishing Bridge. He got caught in the current and went right under our feet. There's no zoom on this picture... probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

My boys catching some sun after playing in the lake. (Dave ignored my sunscreen warning and looked like a lobster for a few days.)

34 Weeks.... And Counting

I want to post about our Yellowstone trip but Blogger is being weird uploading my pictures. So I though I would put up a small update about Baby Girl. :)

Today I'm 34 weeks and 2 days. I know this sounds absolutely horrible, but I hate being pregnant. Hate it. I actually dislike it more this round than I ever have before. I am sure the heat has a little to do with it, but this last week I've been drinking more and more water... to find out that it now causes horrible heartburn. Ugh!!! But we're almost there! I was having a really hard time figuring out what we were going to do about the first couple weeks of school because I am due the day before Jessah starts Kindergarten. I told the doctor that I was getting more and more stressed about it so he suggested that if everything looks okay, then he will induce me the week before. *sigh* It really took a huge load off. I also got a chance to talk with a great lady in our ward that is going to help get Jessah to school in the afternoons and then the kids will all walk home together. Another huge relief! The biggest sigh of relief is that in about 5 weeks our family will be complete! I can't wait to meet this little girl and hold her and welcome her to our lives.
