New Baby Place!!

Yesterday was the Open House and dedication of the new Women's Center at Mountain West Medical Center.  Kelly did a great job in making this happen and everybody I talked with yesterday was thrilled to have such a beautiful facility in the valley.

Anyway - here is a pic from the Homebodies blog - 
glad somebody had a camera!! 

Geesh.. why didn't I?

Sometimes my dad's emails just crack me up... 

I thought I would pass this one along!  Enjoy.

Finally... it's been explained!

Thanks for the laugh, Dad!

'til next time!

Thanks everybody!  

Our SC friends truly rock!

We love you all so much!!!

home from GC...

I can tell Girls Camp is really over because...


I had to make my own breakfast.
My sleeping bag is hanging on the railing of the back deck.
Kelly told me I smelled like burnt toast before he went to work.
My once white socks are now a dusty shade of tan.
Braden pulled various pieces of candy, assorted notes and a plastic camouflage egg out of my bag and thought he hit the jackpot.
I feel like I have no idea what is going on in the "real" world.
"Bazooka Bubble Gum" keeps playing nonstop in my tired brain.
I miss those stinky, adorable, silly, amazing, sleep-deprived, wonderful young women. :)

...it's the little things...

Happy day when BOTH cars can be pulled INTO the garage.  

Seven months after moving in (and an impending hail storm) and HERE WE ARE!!

Seriously, isn't it the little things that make life grand?

Shoshone Falls

Long weekend?

Off to Grandma's house for us!!

And because Saturday was so gorgeous we couldn't resist a ride out to Shoshone Falls.

I have been married to a Shoshonite (?) for 18 years and we have never gone out there, 

boy, we have been missing an amazing place...

Kimbel stayed toward the inside of the overlook ~

her last falls experience wasn't one to remember! :)

Ninja Braden...

..and our Ariel wannabe..

We had such a great day ~ I am sure we will be back!

Thanks Grandma, for sharing the beautiful day.

Class of 2022!!
