Engagement Pictures!

This was such a long day.......I think that a person can only smile for so long!! But I'm really happy with some of the pictures. Other pictures, well they can be deleted!
Devin and I decided that we wanted outdoor pictures, with beautiful mother nature as the back drop. So we ventured up American Fork canyon, the same area where he popped the question, and had my sister take some pics of us. The trick was catching a natural smile of Devin's, with his eyes open, while I was smiling as well! Very tricky:)


We found this crazy log and rope up the canyon, it was a little scary! Devin insisted that we cross it because it would be cool, I thought I was going to throw up LOL. But I made it across:)


Happy that the day was over and that we could order our invitations:)

Jackson Hole

I know its been a long time since we wrote on this thing, so I'm going to try and catch up:)
Back in January we planned a trip to Jackson Hole! Dad, Sue, Christy, Greg, Austin, Kalum, Brandon, Devin and I were all planning on going on a little family trip:) We always say that we are going to go on a trip, like we used to as kids, so we decdied to take a trip in June.
The down side was that my two brothers bailed! Which made me sad. But the rest of us went, and it was a blast!! We stayed in a cabin in Alpine, WY. It was adorable! Devin and I drove up in the wrangler, which I don't think my sister was a fan of because she had to ride in the back seat. No sweat though, Austin and Kalum gladly volunteered to swap her cars once Christy got cold.
Yes, there was rain! But the boys had a great time:)
We drove up to Jenny lake one day and did this crazy hike around the lake. We saw a moose napping on the bank. We also took a drive up to Yellow Stone National Park, which was awesome! They still had snow up there:) IN JUNE! It was so beautiful. We saw a mother grizzley with three cubs. Very cool!

Bar J Wranglers was the one place that Devin said we had to go to while we were up there! Its this old cowboy ranch where they do dinner and a show. It was really funny!! The food was home cooked and there was way more then we could eat. Everyone should check this place out:)

Like I said, it was a fantastic trip! Great to spend time with my family:) And enjoy time with nature!
