Back to Idaho

Well, the end of August, we celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary!! as we drove across the country to return to Idaho ;)

In Wyoming we found a Jeffrey City and had to stop!! Jeff swears the mileage sign said

"Jeffery City" which is how he spells his name. This one said "Jeffrey"- he was a little bummed.

Then finally we arrived in Idaho... Just in time to check out this beautiful sunset. We knew we

were home.



I believe this one should be entered in a contest. The texture of the grass and his hair look so cool... and of course the baby's pretty cute too.

Tyler's New Trick!!

This week Tyler started to sit up on his own!! He LOVES to sit up and play with his toys which proves his independence. He is beginning to fall asleep on his own without me rocking him, which is nice when I am busy working or packing, but sad to know he is becoming a big boy.

We have had a wonderful summer, filled with new experiences and great friendships. We are sad to end our Florida adventure, but look forward to continued happiness in Idaho. We leave Florida on Wednesday and start our 5 day journey back to Rexburg. We are looking forward to seeing some new states and filling out our map of places we've been together! Jeff wanted me to plan our route home; we are passing through Atlanta to visit Alex (an old friend of ours from college), staying in St. Louis one night, and then to spend a day with Jeff's grandparents in Nebraska! Then we get to move into our new home!!! We are so extremely excited to have a place to call our own.

By the way, for anyone who has seen Jeff's baby pictures, this one of Ty looks just like him!

TYLER'S FAVORITE FOODS:

milk water

prunes licorice

Jeff loves to feed Tyler (and Tyler loves Daddy's food)... as you can tell he doesn't want his baby to miss out on any of the good things in life!

GATORLAND

We saw this HUGE yellow snake in the entrance of Gatorland. Katie was feeling very brave so she asked a tour guide if she could touch it. They told her that he probably wont bite and that they hadn't lost anyone yet. Katie told Mom to get the camera ready, she slowly leaned in to touch the snake, and then realized it was fake!! No wonder his name is Cuddles!!

Kennedy Space Center

Tyler wants to be an astronaut and so does Katie!



Thanks for the spaceship grandpa! We sure had a blast!

Central Florida Everglades

When Tom, Shauna and Katie visited us in August, we did an airboat ride in the St. John's River. We didn't know that there were everglades less than an hour away from Orlando!! We had a blast and saw tons of alligators, beautiful birds, jumping fish and gorgeous swamp lands and trees!
