Mama Grizz and her Bear Cubs in YNP

What's so great about living so close to Yellowstone National Park? It's just a couple hours of driving and we get to see stuff like this!

Yes, that's a Mama Grizzly and her two cubs!!

We love Yellowstone! What an amazing place!

hiney lint roller

Look at my little hiney lint roller baby!

This is what happens when Trypten crawls around (in just a diaper) downstairs while carpet is being installed.

The cords have been cleaned!

It's been a while since I've posted anything because we had a doodie flood downstairs

and my computer cords (and I) have been patiently waiting to be decontaminated from the "stage 3" flood water- YUCK!! Today was the day, I can finally use my computer again- YaHoo!!

After everything has been fixed I will have some pictures up... but for now, just a small update to let everyone know that...

No, I have not fallen off of the face of the earth! :)

all wrapped up...

There were some strange grunting noises... ...

... because someone had gotten himself all wrapped up and couldn't figure out how to unwrap!

Another haircut for the "7 monther"!

Corden volunteered to be the helper (lap holder) for Trypten's second haircut. He did a great job! Last haircut we only used the scissors. This time the clippers got some serious action.

Check out that awesome rooster tail!!

He wasn't quite sure about the big, bad clippers!

But didn't mind his old friend, Mr. Scissors.

Side view... less of a rooster tail, more of a peak (like the rest of the boys).

One handsome boy VERY happy to be done with another haircut! :)

After 2 years, 4 months and 4 days... they're off!

Father's Day at Shoshone Falls

For Father's Day Stan wanted to go for a drive to Shoshone Falls so we could see them while the river is running so high. On the way there, we stopped to take a quick picture of this spring coming out of the mountain and the guy behind us totally honked at us! I don't think I like him very much! Don't know him, and don't like him!
The kids thought that the hills around the Shoshone Falls viewing area were the best "rolling" hills EVER!

Here they are... Shoshone Falls. Simply breathtaking!!

We stopped in Arco on our way there and picked up our friend Berneice. It was really nice to be able to have a good visit with her. We had a great time.

The spray from the falls was the best! The kids loved it! We definitely got wet!

What a great Father's Day!
