This is a long one.....


There is a lot to catch up on.....I guess I should start with camping in Green River Lakes, WY with me, Joey, my dad, and Joey's dad! This was the first time that me and my dad have been camping together!!! The anticipation of the trip was enough for me to have many laughing moments to myself. We had so much fun though! The camp was set up awesome.... Thanks to Blade!!! There was even a sanitation station..haha!! Turned out to be really nice!! I could have done without the little mirror though... turns out "ignorance really is bliss" :) Brody was super lucky and got to stay with his Grams ( Joey's mom) for the fews days we were camping. This was the first over night trip we have taken without him. We missed him like crazy, but had a blast just the two of us. We canoed in to our campsite. It was beautiful... breathtaking actually. Joey and his dad fly fished. The water was frigid, so I fished from the bank unsuccessfully. : ) One evening we saw a moose grazing in this high meadow, so early the next morning me, Joey and my dad hiked (off the trail) up to the meadow to see if we could find the moose (smart...I know) and right as Joey turned the corner, there he was... a big bull moose. It was really crazy to see him that close. As if I needed proof, but they are huge!! We were probably 25 ft from him. The weather was wonderful and the food really good...even for camping. It was really fun to be back in Utah and see family too. We can't wait to get back for Christmas. We were home for just over a week and then headed off to Boston. This time with Brody. My parents met us there for a few days. Brody loved to see them. We did a lot in Boston. It is a fantastic city. We did the Freedom Trail and toured all the historical parts in Boston with this tour guide named Steve. Yes, Steve was dressed in a colonial costume. It was really awkward because he and Joey were wearing the same thing ;) just kidding. We got to visit Harvard....the old Alma Mater!!!! ha!!! UVU/ Harvard... tomato, tomato right?? No, but really... it is a very pretty campus!! The most fun of all was going to a Red Sox game!!! We had amazing seats... The first night we tried to go, my parents kept Brody so me and Joey could go and enjoy a night to ourselves. I say "tried" to go because the first night got rained out. We still had a blast and ate a lot while we waited for them to call the game. Then we walked home and as if we had not had enough to eat, stopped and got some appetizers to-go and brought them back to our hotel room!!!! We did get to use our tickets on the make up day, but my parents had left, so Brody got to come with us. It was fun to have him there!!! The 2nd baseman, Dustin Pedroia, threw Brody his warm up ball. Joey caught it and gave it to Brody and Brody yelled "ball" real loud and the crowd behind us started laughing and clapping for him. We quickly took the ball from him so we would not have a Philly's incident. :) Then Brody fell asleep on my lap for about 4 innings... Go Brody... Red Sox fans are a very cheerful crowd!!!!
In other news...Brody is doing great... a video never made it on here.... but he is walking like a pro... Since about 2 weeks after his one year birthday. He saying all sorts of words. He has learned bubbles and papa (what he calls my dad). He is finally getting 2 teeth! I will admit I was a little worried for a while... I mean he was the only kid on the block without teeth.
As far as baby #2 goes... Everything is great with that!! I am now 17 weeks... I am through the sick part and am back to feeling good and not having to eat all the time... Old habits die hard :):) We find out in 2 weeks what we are having!!! We will update just as soon as we find out!
Enjoy the new pictures!!!
