Our Eventful Fourth.

Kent and I celebrated the 4th of July by spending the day at Yellowstone National Park. This picture is of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone; really it was very, very deep and it was breathtaking!

Just our luck we saw these three black bears only 4o yards away! They were very playful and I loved thier brown noses.


Can't forget the buffalo of Yellowstone, this big bull was actually quite close to us as well.

A herd of elk cows and thier calves were in a part of the park called Mammoth. Kent said that every year his family has gone to Yellowstone they have seen elk in this yard.


We had a picnic for lunch and then later went into the town of West Yellowstone to eat some good old barb-que pork sandwiches. Then we headed to Freeman Park in Idaho Falls to watch the freedom celebration fireworks with Kent's aunt and uncle.

About forty minutes of non-stop fireworks are shot up across the Snake River in sync to festive fourth of July music. Very fun, even though traffic is a nightmare afterwards as everyone in Idaho tries to leave and get on the freeway.

6 months!

Yeah! only 92 days more to go! Yesterday was a check-up and little Owen's heart rate is 155 beats per minute. I have gained a total of twenty-two lbs (8 since last months check-up). So everything is going great! Dr. Z (who delivered me and seven of my sisters) said that every pregnant women's ankles are swelling right now and that I should just cut down on salt. He also said for me to do a fetal kick count everyday. Next check-up I will do the gestational diabetes test.


















My aunt recommended the book, A Child is Born, by Lennart Nilsson because it has photos of babies while in the womb. Kent thinks its weird, but I love seeing pictures of a baby's development each week. So I thought I would include the six month picture.

Now we need Kamilla and Kelsey to post a belly photo!!!

How can I stay away from salt?



When Kent makes faboulous dishes like Mongolian barb-que and I eat ramen for lunch or pretzels or cheese or french fries????
I do love cherries and watermelon, and yogurt and cheerios; but a girl needs her salt!
