Eggs and GARbage

I know, I know it has been a few weeks since we got back from Yellowstone, but I had to share. This is the first time I have uploaded a video, so I hope it works!

As you know my husband is so cool, and now everyone will know how awesome he is! He was nominated for a prestigious award that they only give out every 3-7 years. It was a complete surprise for him, he thought he was assisting in a presentation! I am very proud of myself also for KEEPING the secret! He had no clue and I wish I could've got a picture of his jaw on the floor when he finally realized what was going on! They presented it to him at breakfast and then we had the rest of the day to play in Yellowstone! In order to stay discreet, I couldn't video the presentation, but you know I whipped out the camera as soon as they announced his name!
Here are the pics:

Me and Jesse (pic taken by Colton)

Yeehaw!Bill Mercer and Marcia Hurd presenting Jesse with award.

Jesse and Colton checking out a bison.

(Funny story: Right after this picture was taken, the bison started trotting our direction. Jesse bolts for the car saying "get in the car, Get In The Car, GET IN THE CAR!". As we are zipping toward the car, an Asian man carries his toddler girl TOWARD the bison and sets her down on the log in front of Jesse to snap a picture! AAaaaah!
Can we say culture differences! [I can imagine LB laughing and nodding right now!])
Mom and her boys!

New brain

If I only had a brain...

We finally got sick of our computer randomly turning off and I am sitting at a new computer. I haven't had a new computer in over 6 years! I love it! New gadgets and things to do! Here are a few pics since I had to try out the cool memory card slot right on the front of the PC! Yea! Oh, pardon me while I wipe the smoochie marks off of the screen so I can post this!

Yum. BK is great fuel for soccer, right?

Jackie enjoying the game!

Alex and Shelby entertaining themselves with Stackers!

GO MUSTANGS!!! Hurray for Coach Ashby!

Imagine that.

Turn off TV + turn off computer = clean house

We are finally seeing the final steps of the inside of our house being finished. Tomorrow we have our bedroom set being delivered. I am so excited to have "grown up" furniture, you know an actual set that matches and is not hand-me-down or yard sale treasures (don't think that I am opposed to either)! We still have some trim work and painting as a result of the windows, but it really feels like this house has come together. Dare I say that we love it. Now we get to attack the debt that is a result of our home improvements!

I don't know why I am kind of rambling, sorry.

Anyway, for those within driving distance:
