Owie :(

One morning, Chris was on our bed surrounded by pillows as always watching his Baby Signing Time.  I was in the kitchen getting my lunch put together so I could go to work, when I hear a big THUMP!! 

I ran in the bedroom to see Chris on the floor!!  He was sooo sad :(

You can kindof see the red bump on his head in this picture.  It is the side closest to the bed.

Here is a good picture of how sad he was :(   He got the scratch under his eye (I have no idea what he hit) and it gave him a black eye.  He was such a trooper.  It didn't seem to bother him after he stopped crying initially.  I, however, was crying about it all day.  It is a good thing that he is too young to remember how bad of a mom I was.

Yellowstone!!

Every year we go to Yellowstone with my family.  It is soo much fun to get together with everyone :)   It was also Chris's first vacation!!

Our first stop is in Idaho Falls to eat at Smitty's :)   Then we go over and walk around the temple grounds.  It is a nice break from the car for a little while :)  Then grandma hands out the clipboards, and off we go :)

Our next stop is Big Springs.  We see the fish (which there wasn't any of this year) and walk to the Cabin there. 

This is a look from Gibbon Falls. 

Chris, just enjoying the ride :)

Us at the Gibbon Falls Outlook.

He was sooo tired.  It was only the 1st day, and he was already not liking the trip very much :(

Gibbon Falls

Michael slipped and fell on the rocks.  He was soo brave and didn't even cry!  I think I might have if my legs looked like this!

If you look in the distance, there is a mother bear and her cubs :)   These were the first of many in our trip this year!

Attempt at a family picture w/Grandma and Grandpa in the wind :)

Cute little family :)

Family picture at the sign on day 2 :)  Chris had a hard time looking at the camera because of all the cars passing by :)

At the fountain paint pots

Chris just enjoying the ride :)  It was soo funny that whenever he was in his stroller he wouldn't bend his legs.  He just stuck them straight out the entire time :)

At Old Faithfull

Having a good time with his new stuffed bear :)

Chris fell asleep on the way to our picnic area, and when he woke up he was sooo hot!  He loved to eat the icy water bottle :)

We got up and out early the next day in hopes to see one of these :)   This is on the road to Mammoth. 

Mammoth Hot Springs.  This picture doesn't realy do it justice though :)

Chris and I enjoying the walk down to the bottom

Loving the ride :)

He doesn't look very happy, but he really loved going on walks in his backpack :)

I really do love this spot.  I love to think about what it looked like in its prime :)

Tower Falls

This is a better picture if his legs.  It was SOO funny :)

Yet another bear :)   I think total we saw about 10 bears.  It was amazing!

We were parked by a snow drift and when I looked out my window and saw this :)  Nice bear foot print :)

Chris looking at the water fall at Upper Falls.  He loved watching the water go over the falls.

Just hanging out at Upper Falls :)

Kimmy wanted to ride with us.  She was being soo cute with Chris.  She even helped him finish his clip board :)

I love my family soo much and love this tradition.
