Jackson

I'm finally finishing the family trip pictures. I 'm really trying to keep up with this blog. We had such a fun time on this trip I cna't believe it has already been a month.
The boys really wanted to go white water rafting so they got up bright and early and headed to the Snake river to take a river rafting trip. This is the after picture when they got back they were all soaking wet.

In Jackson we went to a shopping area. It had the old million dollar bar. It used to have silver dollars down the entire bar but they remodeled it and there are only circles of 15 silver dollars now. There is no way there are a million of them but it was still fun to see. My parents were here 36 years ago for there honeymoon.

The town of Jackson had a lot of the same stores we all got souvenir t-shirts to wear the next day. My sister really wanted to all have the shirts on together. Of course evryone knew we were tourists.

The Family Trip- Teton National Park

Every year my family plans a family trip. This year we decided to go on a Yellowstone, WY trip. My parents used to take us there when we were young because it was only 4-5 hours away. The guys haven't been there before and Hailey and I haven't been there in atleast 15 years. Now we live a little further away it took planning and my Mom and Dad are always great at planning fun trips. First we went to the Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there and the weather was perfect. The mountains still had snow on them.

We went to Jenny lake. You can take a fairy across the lake and then you can hike back. I couldn't believe how winded I got I felt like I hadn't exercised in along time. We are unsure how long the hike actually was but it was definetly more than 2 miles.

The wildlife is so close there this bald eagle was right next to us at the top of a tree. It was amazing to see animals all around the trails and forest.

The place we stayed was right in Jackson Wyoming so we didn't have to drive far to get places. The condo we stayed in was perfect we each had our own room and bathroom. It was right at a ski resort.

The guys were daring enough to go on the alpine slide. It was right by our condo that we were staying in. The guys were racing each other down the track and had a great time.

The Wedding

We went to Seattle for our friends Abbie and Jason's wedding last weekend. We had so much fun. This is a picture of Abbie and the flower girl before pictures. She has a son the same age and they always say they are going to get married. We had fun getting ready together and then it was a full day of pictures, and the big event.

The ceremony was great. They had there friend John do the ceremony. He got the online certificate so he could do it. It was great short and sweet. The ceremony was only 7 minutes. They wanted to get to the reception.

Abbie's son was adorable in his tux. Her sister planned a surprise where they sang a song by Taylor Swift. It was so cute her sang the whole song by himself and knew every word.

Here is a picture of everyone dancing. Some of you know that Abbie's neighbor was on the bachelorette show last season. Here he is with his son Ty at the wedding. He didn't come with a date.

Our Trip to Seattle

Last weekend we went to Seattle for a friends wedding. We had such a great time. The weather was really warm for this time or any time of year there but we had a great time. Here are a few things we did. This picture is from the top of the space needle. Seattle is such a wonderful city.

We had a chance to go see some sites before the Wedding festivities started. We flew in on Wed so we had time to help with the flowers and hang with the soon to be married couple.

We all had a chance to go to a Mariners game. Abbie and Jason are big baseball fans. The field was right in down town Seattle. The traffic is one crazy thing it never stops. We got to catch up with alot of old friends who came in town for the wedding. I can't believe how so much has changed but is still the same. It was fun playing catch phrase with everyone but for some reason the buzzer always stopped on me before I could even say anything.

Mauri flew into town on Friday with her baby Wesley. I can't believe we've been friends since 1994. That was when our family moved to Arizona. It was fun to chat at the rehersal dinner.

After the rehearsal dinner everyone went back to the hotel to a lounge that was there. Abbie and Jason were unwinding for the next day. The lounge was fun because it had these huge couches you could hang out on and we were pretty much the only ones in the whole place.

After this picture Tim got really sick and spent the next 2 days in our hotel bathroom. Everytime I checked on him I thought for sure we would stay an extra day or take a later flight. He did make it to the ceremony but after that it was back to bed.
