Poor little kid!

Teton's and Yellowstone 2009!

Every year my family goes and camps at Teton National Park, and Fishes at Yellowstone national park. This past weekend was our trip. We have been pretty excited about it for a while. We missed last year due to my pregnancy so were really ready this year! We left Friday and due to some problems came home late Sunday night! Here is a little about our trip!

Porter, for the most part enjoyed his trip! He loved being with his family, he wanted to eat EVERYTHING! He was a little upset we didn't let him crawl around in the dirt. He did NOT enjoy the nights, they were cold, dark and wet! So he and his dad enjoyed some middle of the night drives through the park. He really loves his grandparents and uncles he have his cute smile around a lot, he didn't even complain about the rain! Porter LOVED the camp food, maybe too much! Sunday morning he woke up with hives, and through the day they got worse and made him start going hoarse. We got pretty worried and that is why we left at night! (more on that later!)

Mykell LOVED, LOVED, LOVED camping!! She loved everything about it, the fishing (with her spider man pole!) the hiking, the geysers, the umbrella's, the fires and s'mores, the company and the animals (did you know that Yellowstone had Water Buffalo and whales?? She slept with mom in my sleeping bag and was quite the snuggler! She was so excited that I think she talked non-stop for three days! The rain put a damper on everyone but her. She LOVED it! Grandma Teri had gotten her a pink Dora umbrella before we left and she walked around and around in it! She really was fun, and a good sport!

I am always amazed at the beauty that is there! It is beautiful everywhere! I just can't get enough, these are a couple of the scenery pictures that I got. Because they have been getting so much rain everything was green!

Well as far as the fishing goes, Elliot is the only one that caught a fish in our little family. He caught (and released) this pretty big fish. He was pretty proud of it, and so was Mykell!! All in all we had a fun trip. Camping isn't easy with little ones, but we are pretty blessed with cute little kids!

Lately Mykell has been pushing Porter around in the stroller outside. He is a pretty good sport about it. She always wants me to take her picture! The other day I got this CUTE one of my little guy~~Seriously is he not the CUTEST!!

Friends

Summer YAY!!

I have absolutly LOVED getting outside this year. I missed it SO much last year. My plants and garden are getting bigger, I LOVE IT! Mykell loves her trampoline, and Porter is always up for whatever! The weather has been great, minus being sick this spring/summer has been so much fun! We are looking forward to camping, picnics and the beach! YAY for SUMMER!

10 months already!

I cannot believe that my little guy is 10 months old! He has been such a fun guy for us. This month he learned to crawl and climb~~yes I know my life got busier! He talks a lot, plays a lot, and sleeps a little! He now has six teeth, four on top two on the bottom! He loves to play with his sister and his dog. This month he got his second ear infection, and had a battle with the croup and came out great! He is LOVING this eating buisness. I can't believe how big he is.

The Beach~~and catching up!

So, yes I know that I have not blogged for a LONG time. We have had a bit of a hard month, but are now all doing well. We have had the flu, sinus infections, croup, ear infections~~ you name it! Everyone of us has had something. So blogging was not my top priority. We were just kind of making it through. Now we are all well and starting up our summer! Saturday we decided to go to Bear Lake. I know I know, Bear Lake in MAY??? But it was SO much fun! It was warm, but not hot. The water was even warm enough to swim in. This was Porter's 1st trip, and he had so much fun. Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Kirk came and we had a lot of fun seeing them. Porter played in the sand, a little tent and took a little nap with Grandma!!

Mykell has been so excited to go swimming this summer. She picked out her own swimsuit and everything. She had a blast at the lake. We got her a blow up walrus that she could ride on and we all took turns pushing her through the water. She was so good, and can't wait to go again!

Elliot got his jeep and brought it down to the lake and we all took turns going for rides! It is pretty fun, and he is so excited about it. I was surprised at how good it drives! This will be fun to take on drives~~hopefully we can get it home sometime this summer!

Anyways, we are back and haveing fun, and are SO excited about the summer!
