Thompson Family Yellowstone Trip!

So, back in August we went to the Tetons and Yellowstone with my family! It was SO much fun! We did lots of hiking, eating, fishing, eating, and hanging out. My favorite thing we did, which unfortunately I have no pictures of, is swimming in one of the rivers. You ride down the rapids like a waters slide and it's a blast! I luckily was feeling really good (pregnancy wise) and had a really good time. While on this trip I began to feel the baby kicking a lot more, and Brandon felt her too! It is so fun!

more summer fun...

Our gorgeous campsite

Brandon the Lumberjack :)

Brandon chopping down his tree...haha

Bear Lake

My baby bump....or could it be a beer belly??

We love the summer and fit in fun where we can. Our day trip to bear lake was fabulous! The water felt great! Our last minute camping trip also turned out fun! That's all for now.

We are having a GIRL!!!

Her cute little foot

Last Wednesday we found out we are having a little girl!! We are so excited!!! It's fun to finally know it will be a "she" so we can stop calling her an "it". She is healthy as far as they can tell, and I am doing great too. She was hiding her face behind her hands, legs, and the placenta, so we didn't get great face shots....but the foot is cute :) I am not really showing too much yet. I work at a residential treatment center with teenage girls and I haven't told the girls yet that I am preggo. I decided maybe I'll just wait and see which one of them will have the guts to ask me about it! he he he.....

Fourth of July!

Stadium of Fire!

Brandon thought his poofy hair was funny! it was...haha

the view from our camp...so pretty!!

So Brandon and I had Thurs and Friday off before the fourth so we decided to go camping up AF canyon above Silver Lake Flatt Res. It was SOOOOOO pretty!!! Friday morning we hiked up to Silver Lake, which is just at the top of the mountains above where we were camping. There were five different waterfalls coming down the cliffs going into the lake. It was awesome! We fished for a while, and just relaxed by the lake. My parents came up Friday night and camped with us and Brandon's family came to hang out with us for a while too! It was fun to see everyone! Saturday we went to the Stadium of Fire with my family. It was fun, and the fireworks were amazing!! The Fourth of July is for sure my FAVORITE holiday!! Oh, and for anyone who cares, the pregnancy is going great! I feel great! We find out if it's a boy or girl on the 22nd and I can't wait!

Camping at Beaver Creek

Wading around in Bear Lake. (dont mind my nastiness...)

while hiking just about our campground I was trying to take a pic of Brand, but the mosquitoes were attacking him!

dutch oven....yummy

A couple of weeks ago we were bored and decided to go camping! Two hours later we found a nice secluded spot up by beaver creek up Logan canyon, barely across the Idaho border. It was really fun! (except the mosquitoes attacked us by the hundreds despite our bug spray....) We hiked up above our campground, and also went on this hike right at the summit of Logan canyon that I have always wanted to do. We also drove down to Bear Lake and played around in the water a bit. It was nice to get away just the two of us!

Fishing at Strawberry....yes we do like fishing!

Brandon ALWAYS catches the biggest fish!

Two of my nieces were getting really bored, so I they stole my camera for a while and kept themselves entertained. They are adorable!

Maybe it's too early even for fishies??

A few weeks ago we got up at the crack of dawn (yes, I mean four in the morning...) so that we could get to strawberry reservoir for some fishing with Brandon's family. It was really fun, but we only caught three fish. We got rained out about noon, but I was sooooo tired, I didn't mind!
