It has been suggested more then once that I should write a blog during this little adventure we are going on. My first thought was no way. I hate proof reading things and I can't spell. So consider this your warning. I am going to write things and not proof read them. I will do my best but.... Think of it as a challenge to figure out what I was trying to say. To all of you English majors I am truly sorry.

We are all settled in Pocatello now. I sent Jordon to Peoria on the 25th of July. He is having a great rotation and really like the city and Hospital. It sucks being away for this long but I have stayed busy. My Family went camping for a week in the Tetons and had a blast. Addie went on her first 5 mile hike and did great! Having her cousins distract her helped a lot, and it made matters worse Addie would forget to pay attention and would trip and fall. did I mention that she fell a LOT! poor kid. Maya had a great time in the Carrier. When we got to the top of the hike Addie had to pee so Kolay took her off the side of the trail. Addie informed Kolay that nobody could see her privets but they could see her bellybutton and toung because that was funny! I love the things kids say. The next day we headed off to Yellowstone and drove for 4 hours and saw one hot pot and went to an old lodge. I would not recommend Yellowstone to anyone this year the construction was BAD! Our third day there was fun my mom and dad rode there bike the twenty or so mile to String Lake and met us there for the day of swimming in a mountain lake, holy crap that water is cold. I don't think kids have thermostats until they are older. Addie played in the water so long her lips were blue. I asked her if she wanted to get out and she told me that she was not cold. Maya spent the day trying to drink the water. I would have to say she was pretty successful with her attempt. Jen and I had my dad drop us off four miles from camp so we could run back. yep were are nuts! The first night up camping was interesting. Addie and I were sharing the air mattress and Maya was in her pack and play. Maya woke up cold about 3am and was ready to play. If there would have been a bear walking by the tent between three and sunrise I may have just given Maya to them! She would not go back to sleep she woke Addie up so I had to deal with two kids awake. I actually layed in bed and watched the sun rise! The rest of the nights were a lot better. The last night Maya woke up cold again Oh no here we go but she just cuddled up with me and went back to sleep. I love those cuddle moments with my girls!
McKay Jordon's brother came home this last week! It has been great to see him. Maya warmed up quickly to him and Addie was very excited to see her uncle bill and was going to give him a kiss on the cheek unless he had hair on his face and then she was just going to give him a hug! Uncle Bill only got a hug

This week I have been trying to get things organized and ready for me to head to Casper for a wedding. I am so grateful to be back in Pocatello and surrounded by family and friends while Jordon is gone. I also really enjoy the built in baby sitters!
Addie was stung by two Wasps last night that will make it 8 times sense the start of last summer. I think the girl has a scent that the wasps love or hate! Poor child
This was Addies lip right after the sting, It also got her on the back
My dad took this picture. I will never be a nature photographer he took this right as the sun was coming up. I would be in bed for hours after this picture was taken.
Kolay and Matt with there little one Wait that one is mine.
Matt was Stud and carried Maya for the first half of our hike.
