THE WEDDING

We have been so busy this summer. It has been full of birthdays, graduations, new jobs... it has all gone by too fast. The highlight of the summer was my little brother's wedding. It was so much fun from beginning to end. I still can't believe my little bro is hitched, but we love Eliza so much - they are a perfect couple. 

A couple of nights before we had a dinner at the Soldier Hollow club house in Midway. It was a great night, full of surprises. The two highlights were a song that my brother wrote about Eliza and that fact that neither of them eat fruit and then Jeffrey lip synced a song for Eliza. Good times! So, here goes...
This is not the best picture by a long shot, but it's the only one I have of Erik in his cute outfit :)

 Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Monson. We love you two!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend in Midway. Love this country. Love my family. Life is good!
 Cutest 4th of July baby girl award? I think so!
Fun with sparklers, glow sticks and a fireworks - all from the comfort of my parent's back porch. Such a fun night.

SUMMER

For our anniversary, Erik and I spent a wonderful night in Midway. It is so peaceful up there. On the way up we stopped and did the Alpine Slide and the Coaster. Very fun - especially the Coaster which is surprisingly awesome. We also went for a little bike ride once we got to Midway. The weather was perfect. 
We also spent last weekend in Jackson Hole - another one of my favorite places. My brother Jeffrey and his fiance Eliza decided they wanted to go on a river trip one night and luckily Erik's brother Stein is an expert river guide and has his own raft! So, we didn't waste any time planning this little getaway. It's always fun to spend a weekend with some of your favorite people.
Here is the whole group, just before getting on the river. We love having our own personal river guide in the family! It was a blast. The only bummer was that their boat got a hole in it and so we were only able to go down once. 
We also spent a day at Jenny Lake and rented kayaks. The lady told us that if we had never been on a kayak before, they wouldn't let us go out because the water was so cold. Super extreme sports haha! Doesn't it look dangerous :)
Finally, we went for a little hike. Jeffrey and Eliza were brave and got in one of the lakes to cool off. It was too cold for me though. I wish I had a picture of them. 
I'm wearing Erik's "Shaka" hat, which means hang loose, thus my choice of pose in this picture. Erik probably thinks I'm a nerd for explaining that, but I didn't know what shaka meant.

So, thank you Stein, Ashleigh, Chad, Jeff and Eliza for such a fun trip. I'll always remember our special time together at the camp ground, our awful waiter at Bubba's and our wild trip down the river!

Year One


Erik and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Sunday. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. 
Our wedding was SO much fun. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again. 

I love being married to Erik! We have had so much fun this year. I can't wait for all of the years to come. 
Happy Anniversary husband!!
