Thanks Momma DaNell!

We loved having you here!!

Being the amazing seamstress that she is, she whipped out a bunch of baby room items, and a cute new valance and bed skirt for our room while she was here. Above is a picture of the baby's curtain (glued to a modified set of blinds - love pinterest) and valance. The bed skirt and bumper pads are made out of the same material. Super excited to get the room painted and the crib done so we can put it all together. I think it will look super oober cute.

Also, here is our not hot pink basement with side bathroom... In case you were dying to see it.






Stupid couch

Um.. here is our kitchen and "main room" that is so awkward that we don't know what to do with it. I don't like this level.... nothing works and we don't have the right furniture and the kitchen was so not thought out when it was built. BUT... it does the job, so I'm content. Maybe someday we will figure it out and make it look nice and usable.



I have never taken pictures of upstairs. Its just two bedrooms with a bathroom in the middle. Once we get it all organized with cute little baby stuff, we will take pictures.

Also, we survived the STORM (capitalization for scariness effect) Ok, it wasn't that bad, but it was a little scary. We realized it was going to be bad when the locals (the locals that usually don't worry much about storm warnings) are checking the weather on their phones every 5 minutes. We were in Wichita for a birthing class. They ended it early so everyone could get home before it got bad.... and nobody was getting anything out of it the last hour because they were nervously looking out the window. Anyway, pretty much everything missed us. Closest tornado was in Hesston, about 10 miles away but it didn't do much. And, no hail...no flooding... just lots of crazy lightning and wind. Super thankful for those smart people that watch weather patterns and can warn people, and those people, like our ward member, who stay up all night driving around watching and reporting tornadoes and then fight house fires from lightning. Do these people get enough credit? They are amazing. So normally Kansas gets like 130 tornadoes a year....they got 99 in one night. That means we're done right? :)

Well life is still good in Kansas! We are very blessed!

Glade Reunion

The things we do for great pictures :)

The weekend was full of laughter, beautiful nieces and nephews, games by candlelight, smiling faces, gorgeous views, yummy food, "You don't have to come and confess, we gonna find you"s, golfing, pirate ships, enjoyable walks, and mustaches.

Thanks Glade family for a wonderful weekend!

Bear Lake is a really fun place

and we have been there A LOT this summer.


With friends, dogs, and a canoe


These 2 pictures are not at bear lake, we were testing out the canoe before we took it to the lake. Just as expected, it was fun.

Random man asleep on the beach?.... He literally slept the whole time his group was there. Is it creepy that I took a picture of him? He just looked so.....dead.

With family

Mud wars!
Sandcastles!

And you always need someone to bury.

We will probably go again next week, and do a sandcastle day. Literally just go and build a sandcastle all day. Sounds great doesn't it? We will let you know how it turns out.

50 years

Congratulations to both my grandparents this year on 50 years of marriage. We only hope to be as cool as them one day.

Grandma and Grandpa Hancock invited the whole family out to Logan canyon to a cabin for a couple days in July. We all had a blast! Grandma said it was the closest to the celestial kingdom she will ever be on earth.


Everyone came out to bear lake for Grandma and Grandpa Walker's 50th. They love getting to see their 42 grandchildren whenever they can, so this was great to be all together in the sun!


I am so lucky to come from such an amazing family.

The Guido Story

I am kinda on a blogging frenzy right now, but here is the long promised Guido story for Matt and Carla. This story was written by my little brother, Robert. When Matt and Carla went to Disney Land, we watched Guido for a week and brought him up to Star Valley with us. Robert was very excited for his visit. Pay attention to the creative spelling, translations are under each picture.

When Guido is coming over

On Friday, Gwedow (Guido) is coming over. Its going to be fun. He is staying until Sunday.

He is a puppy! He is a pug. He is fun. He is white, he is black on his face. (notice the picture)

When he gets here Im going to play with him.

He eats everything. And he eats his dog food fast! If it is 9:30 pm he eats
quick and its still 9:30.

Then sometimes he eats our carpet. My Mom and Dad don't like that. (he has never been to our house so I think he had just heard stories of the carpet eating Guido. haha)

When he leaves Ill take a picture.
