Six Years...A Few Days Early!


Travis and I were married six years ago on June 27, 2003. Unfortunately, I will be in California on our anniversary, and Trav's staying home to work..what a good man!

I can't believe that it's been six years already! Travis and I have had our ups and downs, but really, truly, he's my best friend, and my right arm. I don't know what I'd do without him! He makes me laugh, keeps me sane, and makes me feel beautiful...he's a great daddy, too! I'm lucky to have him, and happy to be celebrating another year with him!

Fun Day Monday - At the Zoo!

On Monday, for Trav's day off, we headed to Hogle Zoo. Next week, Addison and I are headed to San Diego. While we are there, we are going to the San Diego Zoo. Travis, unfortunately, won't be able to come with us, but I think he wanted to be there for Addi's first zoo experience, because he suggested we go to Hogle Zoo for his day off. We went with my nephew, Ethan, Jo Jo, Gage, and MyKelle. It was lots of fun. Addison hated the stroller, and instead pushed the stroller most of the day. She loved the pretzels more than anything else, but liked a few of the animals we saw, including the monkeys, and giraffes.

Mountains of Fun!

Trav's new job allows him to work four 10-hour shifts. His day off is Monday. We decided that we wanted to make Mondays extra fun days! We started this week by taking a day trip up to the Uinta Mountains. It's only about an hour drive from here if you go through Park City, and Kamas. Travis calls it "Heaven on Earth", and says, "There's No Place, I'd Rather Be." It really is beautiful.

We first stopped for a bite to eat at what used to be Dick's Drive-In, in Kamas. It's now called the Uinta Drive-In, regardless of their name, they still have really great food! I failed to get a picture, mostly because I was starving!

We drove for a bit, and decided to stop at this beautiful lake.


Travis let go of Addi's hand for one second, and she went right into the lake. She's not afraid of anything, and always loves exploring new things. She was in heaven up there too, just like her Daddy!


After we sufficiently explored the lake, we got back in the Jeep, and drove to find another beautiful spot.

We came to a point on the bumpy, dirt road, where we couldn't go any further. There was a giant log blocking the path. I told Trav that it was too bad that we had to turn around, and he said, that a silly log wasn't going to stop us, so he got out and moved it...HERCULES!


We drove a bit more, and found another gorgeous lake. We all had fun enjoying nature, and each other..even Eddie!



On Friday, we met Poppy and Jo Jo up at the 'B' for a fun Friday drive in the mountains. Jo Jo was brave, and rode the 4-Wheeler. Poppy rode his dirt bike, and we rode in the Jeep. It was a beautiful day, and we had lots of fun!


Hopefully, one of these days, we'll break Addi of her binki habit! But for now, it keeps her quiet, and she's still pretty cute!


We drove all the way to the top, and looked over on Morgan. Because of all of the rain we've had, the sky was clear, and beautiful! Addison loved it at the top. The wind was blowing a bit, and she clapped her hands and danced in the breeze.
