Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone with Grandma and Grandpa Parks for Grandpa Park's 86th birthday!  It was super fun and we enjoyed it a lot!  It was my first time going to Yellowstone, and it was so beautiful!!!!  Excuse the yucky picture of me standing next to Old Faithful...it was super cool to watch, and hopefully the video we got of it will load.  We didn't think we would get to see it, but it was supposed to go off within 15 minutes, so we got to stay and watch, and it was amazing!  And for Grandpa's birthday Grandma bought us all ice cream in the Old Faithful lodge and it was delicious!  And we had a picnic lunch!  Yum!   It was really fun to go with Joe's Grandpa, he told us a lot of the history of the places where we drove by since he grew up here.  It was neat to hear about the things he has done in his childhood and throughout his life.  He truly is an amazing man.
    I am now 34 weeks along which is really exciting!  Joe and I can't believe that there is only 6 weeks left and our little guy is going to be here!  We are so excited!
   We are going this week to Emily's house in Boise. and we are really happy to get to spend some time with her.  We haven't seen her since Christmas, and we miss her!  We are going to Boise because Joe's truck needs an emissions test, and we can only get it done in Boise because that is where it is registered, and it is the only place where we can get the emission test done.  Not gonna lie though, I'm not excited to make the hot trip in the truck...but it will be fun!
  After we go to Emily's house, we will go to my house to see my family and pick up stuff for the baby!
   Our new apartment it pretty much all moved into.  We only have one more box in our room to unpack, and then find a new home for a few things and we are done!  Wahoo!  As soon as I get decorations on the walls, and the house looks pretty I will post some pictures.  We got some new curtains with our gift cards to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and I am so excited to get them hung up and see how they look!
   Joe got a raise at work, and I am so proud of him.  Joe is the first one to ever ask for a raise at the branch he is working in, and the boss told him that he thought Joe was definitely worth what Joe was asking for!  Hooray!  And because Joe went and asked, some of the other supervisors got a raise too!  Joe works so hard to support our family and I couldn't ask for a better husband and provider.
  I think that's about all that is new in our lives...6 more weeks and we are gonna be PARENTS!  HOORAY!

This is me at the first waterfall we saw!

GEYSER!

Me and Grandma Parks!

All of us together!

This is the lower falls of the Yellowstone River.  We didn't see the big one, because by the time we got here we were all tired and ready to go home!

One of the video's is the geyser bubbling, and one is Old Faithful.  Grandma said it didn't get that big when she saw it, so we felt pretty lucky!
