Addicted or Not?

I say NOT! This is a pretty cool little quiz that I saw on Jeni's & Heather's blog. I wonder how they calculate it- because i don't think I am that addicted. I would personally say I am 45-50% addicted :) How addicted are YOU? Obviously I am somewhat addicted- because I really am curious what everyone else gets on this quiz :) hehe.

Pax & I are keeping really busy. We have stuff going on every single night! Very crazy! And then at work we keep really busy- so the days go by so quickly. But we are happy and hangin in there.

Details...

... of our trip to Yellowstone! I didn't write anythign in the last post, just the pictures, so I thought I'd explain a little of what we did.

On a Tuesday evening we took off to my parent's cabin in Island Park, 1&1/2 hours away. We packed bread, peanut butter, jelly, soup, bananas, cheese sticks, cereal, milk & a few extras. We stayed the night in my parent's cabin Tuesday night, woke up early in the morning, packed everything up, turned off all the power to the cabin, and headed for Yellowstone National Park. The Park opens at 9AM so we were there at about 9:30. There was a little line of cars waiting to enter the park, but not too bad. When we got to the booth to pay, they gave us several flyers and a map of the park. One of the flyers explained that we should not get within 500 feet of a buffalo, or else we'll get charged at. It showed a cartoon picture of a man getting "bucked" (i guess is the word) by a buffalo! It said that it happens to many, so be cautious, blah blah blah. I don't have any cool stories of seeing anyone getting bucked, but it was kind of a funny flyer to get. Better safe than sorry.

So once you enter the Park, it takes about an hour to get to the first site. The speed limit is 45, so I think that's why it takes awhile. But about 10 minutes into our drive, a bunch of cars were slowing down and had stopped. When you see that, you know there are animals around that everyone's checkin out. So we stopped too, and found a bunch of deer/elk/who knows what-- right by the road. There were lots- like 8-9. So we got pics, that you'll see below. So that was pretty cool. Then another 5-10 minutes later, we were stopped again by a couple of bison on either side of the road- about 10-15 feet away from the road!! It was awesome. We took video of that, as you'll see below.

We were pretty pumped that right off the bat we saw lots of deer and bison right there. Come to find out, there's hundreds of bison in the park that like to hang out in the roads and nearby the roads. By the end of the day, we were a little sick of em. haha- not really, they're always cool to spot.

We also saw some crows- probably the biggest ones i've ever seen! And they aren't afraid of people either, they wouldn't fly or run away when we came near. I was more afraid of them than they were of us i think. Hmmm.

Anyway, we hit up basically all the cool, "must see" sites in the Park. We went to Old Faithful, the Little Grand Canyon(which was one of our faves), the Lower & Upper Falls,(another fave) Mammoth Hot Springs, Mudpots, the Mud Volcanos, and a few other pretty sites. And we did this all in ONE DAY! We were surprised! By the end of the day, Pax had taken 2 naps, and I had taken 0 ! What's his deal? It was a very fun adventure that everyone should try and do if they're in the area!!

Adventures at Yellowstone National Park

Pics from my bro's wedding reception

Ok ok ok, so there are LOTS of pictures, but i took about 200 pictures over my break of my cute nieces and nephews, my paren'ts NEW house, our trip to Yellowstone Natn'l Park & my bro's wedding. There was lots goin on!! But, here's pics from the wedding (at the temple & at the reception-which was in my parents backyard that overlooks the Snake River)

Paxton looking .... cool?The beautiful bride & groom exiting the I.F. temple!

Beautiful Blonde Babes AKA My sisters, Kelsie & Katie :)

Now at the reception...

The bridesmaids...

...and the Groomsmen

Leaving the reception to go to their hotel!! YEAH- PARTY! If you look closely at John, you'll see how super excited he is... I'm sure to get to the hotel.... about time eh?! :) hehe

Just wanted to show my cute nephew Cody

Daddy/Daughter dance

Mother/Son dance-- The songs they played were pretty much the same ones that were played at mine & Pax's reception in Dallas. So cute. And look at the river,... isn't it awesome. The river is RIGHT THERE! What a pretty sight. There was a ring ceremony with the audience looking out to the river. Although the sun was in our face, it was very beautiful.

The cake feeding. John got it ALL over her face! And of course he eats it off her face :)

They had a DJ there and started played DANCE MUSIC later at the reception. There were tons of kids gettin their groove on!! I got a video of it--- it's SUPER cute. I need to figure out how to post it someday, but in the mean time- pictures will have to do.

All the "adults" also got in a group and danced. It was fun to see everyone's style of dancing :) My brother, Mark, was there swing dancing a bit. It's always fun to watch him swing dance. It's very entertaining. Makes me want to be better. I know the Lindy but Im not too good at it.

Well, those are the majority of the pics from the wedding- I have more pictures from our other adventures: Yellowstone, camping, my family, and the new home. I'll post those soon.

I'd been gone for about 3 weeks-- I miss you all. We'll be callin someday- when we have time- to hang out. Hope everyone is well!

Snap Shots

Here are just a few recent pics of us-- from 1-2 months ago, going to Hurricane Harbor, golfing, and at the Ranger's game.

He's looking at me... disgusted or annoyed or something... but he's still SO cute.

I got Pax in the pic..:)
At the Rangers game
Heading to Hurricane Harbor
Wow... what am I doing??

A Little Crunched ?

Pax and I went to Brian and Jen's house to hang out and they had just gotten home. . . like this. Their car was crammed w/ storage boxes, and the many other purchases they made that day. They could hardly fit it all in their car. We thought it was pretty funny.

Take Me Out to the BAAAALLL GAME!!

I hope this blog doesn't look bad. It's probably a mess- oh well. There are a bunch of pics from the Rangers game we went to the other night. Brian has string cheese(old and warm) in his mouth. I had it in my purse and offered it to him, kidding, but he still took it.
Natalie was so good and so cute. She attracted everyone, they all thought she was so adorable, and one guy even touched her little hand while her diaper was being changed. She's THAT cute! hehe.


















She got so frustrated sometimes that it frustrated Jen too.. ha not really... it's a cute pic though.

Oops forgot to zoom out again....

Tee Time : 6:15

Last week, Paxton, Chris, & Brian went to Indian Creek Golf Course to play some golf. I decided to tag along since I had never seen Paxton play golf. He did really well. He said he was a little rusty and didn't do his best, and I understand, it's hard to play your best all the time. Everyone had a great time- it was fun.

The guys ready to play, walking to the next hole.

Oops- forgot to zoom out. hehe. I like his face though- even though it's the face he makes when petting Curly- the dog. ha.

Got it zoomed out this time... and he STILL makes the face.

It was really pretty out there. There was lots of water and "lakes" where there weren't supposed to be, but it made it beautiful out there.

Beautiful sunset eh?

The boys, done w/ their game. After a few bad swings and many good swings, they were ready to get outta there.

See ya (in Kip voice) . . .

Good game boys. . . .
