Yellowstone 2012

It was cold and windy the day we went to Yellowstone, but as you can see, that didn't stop our kids from smiling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old Faithful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we were leaving the park we got to see some bison up close. 

 

When this one put it's head up and looked at us, we were all quite ready to move on.

 

 

These were a little less intimidating.

So cool, that we were able to see them up so close.

Matthew and his brothers

When we were Utah last time we got to see everyone in Matthew's family and it was so fun.

Thanks Troy for having us all over at your house!

This is Matthew with his brothers.

This is how silly they all are.

I just had to include this picture because look how much fun they're having.

Love it when I get to see Matthew LOL :)

Isn't that what brothers are for?

Cousins Sharing

When we were in Utah in Jan the kids got to see a lot of cousins & they thoroughly enjoyed it.

For some reason they were all fascinated with this leapster.

Can't you tell by how engrosed they all are.

They did a pretty good job sharing.

Which is a big task for that many cousins!

Thanks for sharing your toy Bear!

Pictures From Atlanta

This is Centennial Olympic Park & we're pretty excited to be taking pictures!

Olympic park at night. This is a water, light show & it's fun to run in and out of trying not to get wet!

I wasn't brave enough to run in because I wanted to stay dry :)

They were all brave enough to get this cool picture.

This is the view from my balcony from my room.

This marching band performed for us and they were AMAZING!

They had the dance moves and the beats. Lots of fun!!

This is Wes Moore & he is an AWESOME! I can't wait to read is book.

His main message is that we all live up to our expectations, whether they are low or high.

This is little Michael Jackson performing at the Underground Mall. Pretty good too.

This is me being a dork. I couldn't stop laughing long enough to get the silly pose of me talking to this guy. I know, I laugh too much!!

If I was allowed to I would have gotten on the seat to take a picture. There's actually a guard there to tell you to stay off.

This was the underground shopping mall.

This is the dance I went to. I know, I'm kinda old, but it was lots of fun!

Matthew was just happy he wasn't there so he didn't have to go :)

Yes, I did embarrass myself!! I always do when I dance. Especially being around all these folks who CAN dance!

The youth performing with the costumes they made and the drumming they learned during the conference.

This is the LONG escalator that goes down to the train. I just kept thinking that it would be a long fall down!

Love this sign!

It was posted outside the restaurant. There were signs similar to this in the bathroom too!
