So Happy All the time

We are so thankful that we have a very happy baby!

Friends

Devils Lake

Ben and Bridger at Devil's door.

We are very excited to live in a place that has a TON to do outdoors and the weather is very conducive to actually doing them (so far anyway). We went camping at Devils Lake State Park. We went hiking, exlporing and swimming.

Remember, Safety First.

Bridger LOVED the water, despite the fact that you can barely see him under all his swim gear.

We really DID get down to The NItty Gritty

For Ben's Birthday, we went to The Nitty Gritty. We were surprised to find out that it is Madison's "official birthday place," and they give balloons, free drinks and sundaes to special birthday people, we just went because of the cool name! For sure it will be a must to bring those who visit us. And, yes, in case you forgot again, Ben's birthday is July 3rd. :)

Fort Bridger

Ben grew up in Bridger Valley where Jim Bridger, a famous mountain man, built a fort that was very popular amongst Mormon pioneers and those traveling along the Oregon Trail. The Mormons eventually bought this fort, then burned it down when Johnson's army was coming. The some years later, the army rebuilt it and now it is a name of a town. Ben's parents drove us all around the valley, showing us points of interest. It was very interesting and if you haven't guessed or didn't already know, this is where Bridger got his name.

This is the canoe that Ben made. We took it to Bridger Lake for the afternoon.

More family

So Many Babies!!

At our extended family FHE Bridger met quite a few who were smaller than he is. All of these babies are his second cousins except 1 cousin, Johnathon. And these are only the newest ones who were actually there!! L to R: Bridger, Audri, Johnathon, Edward, Kaleb

Four Wheeling

Ready to Explore


We went up Logan Canyon to go four wheeling for the day. It was great weather with fantastic views and everyone had a great time together.

Logan Rodeo

Ben will never pass a chance at a rodeo. SO we went to the Logan rodeo with Rachael, Clay, Taylor and Johnathon. It had been raining all week, so the outdoor rodeo grounds were VERY muddy. We had a great time watching the cowboys slide all around in the mud and took cover when they rode by us. Needless to say, we ended up pretty dirty and "ESstinky" by the time it was over.

Bridger and solid foods

Now that Bridger is 6 months old, we decided that it was time to be more diligent about feeding him solid foods. Bridger is not a big fan so far, but we are continually trying new foods, hoping that someday he will like something! His facial expressions are quite hilarious in the process.

Open Wide!!
