A trip to yellowstone for me is like therapy. A much needed getaway for some time to recharge. And nothing makes it better than spending the days there with my two favorite boys. Plus this time we added my yellowstone loving dad (it's an inherited thing), step mom, our littlest brother, and another brother and his darling girlfriend! And i'm absolutely convinced there's nothing prettier or more magical than fall in yellowstone. We can't wait for next year to introduce our little girl to her mama's favorite place!

And finally a few pictures from our trip to flaming gorge. It's become the Drover's family tradition to spend a week every summer enjoying camping, relaxing, eating, and boating together. This year defiantly didn't disappoint- we soaked up every moment we could just enjoying being together. Because come next year this little camping trip is bond to get a whole lot more interesting with a little one in tow.   

These two make me so excited to have this little girl join our family- mr. dog loves baby mac and baby mac loves mr. dog. They spent lots of time playing in the water together- my favorite moment was when she gently leaned over and gave him a kiss on his nose. And then he gave her the littlest softest kiss on her cheek!   

 

We just returned from a lovely five days in the mountains. We went with the intention of spending time doing nothing and just enjoying our time together. And i'm happy to report we did just that- the drover spend time perfecting his paracord bracelets (seriously that man is a knot tying genius) and i started the hunger game trilogy (now i see what all the fuss is about). We ate tin foil dinners- cuddled on the hammock- spent the sunny mornings sleeping in the tent- and let mr. dog and his girl "red" enjoy the great outdoors. And as soon as i dig myself out from under the piles of laundry and messy house i'll be back with lots of pictures. 

this weekend 

we relaxed-

spent a little time on the farm-

met the seriously adorable new neighbor-  

spent lots of time laughing with family- 

celebrated a few birthdays-

it was lovely. 

This weekend we headed up to a little reservoir with some friends and their adorable kids. Hands down the best part about where we live is that you can get in the car and be completely surrounded by beautiful wilderness in less than an hour. I'm pretty sure mr. dog would have happily spent the entire afternoon retrieving every piece of wood out of the water. That boy loves the water! And i love spending the day with my two boys enjoying the mountains and sunshine.
