After being home for a month I'm finally playing catch up. It's over-whelming to me to write all that has happened (hence why I have been putting it off until now) so for the most I'll let the pictures do the talking. These are pictures of our trip home. As you can see the car was pretty loaded down. The scenery was basically the same the whole way so it made for a long two day trip. Mia was pretty good though. We only had to stop a few times for her; once to get her "barbie" she so desperately wanted. What 18 month old even knows what a barbie is? Needless to say she got one for being so good and to help entertain her on the long ride. When we arrived home Bridger's mom and sister had left us a few surprises! It was so nice to be home and also to be able to enjoy some of our favorite treats! Thanks so much Joni and Hailee, we appreciated it so much!! Love you guys!!

Since we've been home Bridger's been doing a lot of yard work. He weeded the 6ft. forest in our backyard (no exaggeration), trenched the yard twice, put in a sprinkling system and then seeded. Mia and I we're of course a huge help ;). It was a lot of work for Bridge and we're excited to finally have a backyard. Pictures to arrive in spring when we are completely finished!
 

One thing we had been looking forward to was spending time in the mountains. We couldn't wait to get home and go camping and have some campfires. Mia loved it too. Whenever we say "mountains," she says "fire." We've been so much that she can even sense the smell of a campfire when we're outside!
 

Bridge and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary! We spent the day up at Sundance. We went horseback riding, rode the ski lift, and hiking. We ended the evening with the best steak dinner around, Maddox. We had a lot of fun together and Sundance was beautiful! Thanks Bridge for planning such a wonderful surprise and thanks Mom for watching Mia all day so we could go. We owe you!!
 

We had some more campfires with the family. I have never seen so many hot dogs cooking over the fire.
 

We've had a lot of fun babysitting. Seeing what it's like to have a little brother or "buddy" as Mia calls him. She would be a good big sister. This past weekend she had four of them. We had a few slumber parties as we babysat my brothers girls over conference weekend. I think Mia is so lonely now without them! Thanks Katy for coming to help and thanks Savannah for coming over and playing with the girls.
