Wesley And Echo

We've been here in Colorado for about a week now. We came for my brother's wedding and to visit with family. Wesley and Echo were sealed on August 10th in the Monticello Utah temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and I'm so glad that we were able to be there. It was already the happiest day of my brother's life, but he was beaming from ear to ear when he saw that two of his best friends from Arizona had made it, too. The reception was later that night. It was a casual cowboy reception with lots of food and dancing. Everett was out on the dance floor bustin' moves left and right. It was the greatest thing ever.

Then we were off to see the rest of the wildlife.  Cougar Coyote Black bear Racoon and tons and tons of other wildlife.  We went into a replica of an observation cabin... (Jake was reenacting a rediculious parking lot scenario from earlier that week) We had a good time "exploring wildlife" and letting Everett run around the trails. He had such a good time with his buddy Audrey. She is so good to him :) It was a super warm day and Everett was re...

America's Car Museum

There's a brand new, huge car museum in Tacoma. So Jake and I went with his Dad, Grandpa Jack, and his younger sister.  It was so cool Tons and tons of old, restored cars everywhere 4 floors of cars My favorite cars are from the 50's Jake's favorite Grandpa Jack's favorite Oh man the cars were so cool. That's probably why I took 250+ pictures. I'm a junkie.  I loved this one.... especially the tires. -We all loved the museum. There were so many different types of cars... including the Flintstone mobile and the back to the future car.  -I LOVED the motorcycle section and there was even a vintage crotch rocket.  -I wa...
