Trip for a tree and Rosie's birthday party

-
On Saturday December 6th, our family, along with Maria and Clark's family went to go cut down some Christmas trees. We drove up to the Medicine Bow National Forest to get them. Clark is an expert at that, so he helped us, and brought his chainsaw. After we drove home, we celebrated Rosie's first birthday!!!! Maria made us delicious hot soup, hot cocoa, and banana cake with cream cheese frosting. It was delicious, and tons of fun. During the long drive, Will took a nap, and Rosie screamed. Afterwards, Will laughed his head off about everything. It was hilarious! This is an adorable picture of him laughing:

There were lots of blown-up balloons at Maria and Clark's house for the party, and Rosie was very entertained. This is her playing with a balloon:

This is a creepy picture, ignore it:






This is a gorgeous picture I got while we were waiting for Maria, Clark, and Willie. I thought the clouds looked pretty neat:

I LOVE this post! Amy, you are so cute. It was great to be with you guys last weekend! I am getting so excited for Christmas. I'm making all sorts of plans for us to do (games, food, etc.) P.S. I like the "creepy" picture! :) Ha ha

Amy's braces

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool!
