Bring Your Wife to Work Day

I went out to Rory's site with him yesterday to help finish some rain shelters for his project. He's watering the desert. I was wishing for dessert. There is a difference even though some fortune cookie companies haven't figured it out yet.

"Friends are life's desert" 

On the way home we saw these two little badgers. They were ferociously cute. Even though there was a lot of hissing Rory still has all his fingers so Ian doesn't need to be freaked out.

Memorial Day

We took a picnic lunch up to Sundance on Monday. There was a mountain bike race going on so we spent some time watching. These guys were crazy! We only saw one wipe out but it was spectacular.  

On the way home we stopped at Bridal Veil Falls. We didn't hike it, though, because I was wiped out from hiking all over the Sundance mountain... pregnancy. Sheesh.

Memorial Day isn't Memorial Day without a barbeque.

Rory set up the slack line in our front yard and had fun figuring out how to do it again.

I had fun messing with the camera and not falling on my bum.

Happy Memorial Day!

A Very Rainy Visit

We went to Hogle Zoo on Saturday in the pouring rain! My rain coat wouldn't zip up over my massive belly unless I undid the pit zips so I got pretty wet. But we still had lots of fun. My favorite was the baby elephant!!! Sadly she was outside so we didn't hang out with her for too long.

Some of the inside animals we saw.

Actually, the rhinos were outside.

Siiiid.... you've been a very naughty boy.... (If you haven't watched the youtube clip 'animal crackers' you should)

These guys really wanted some.

Fruit.

Just like a fruit bat.

I Like Fat Boys

I'm sitting here waiting to go to a haircut appointment and thought I'd post hopefully one of my last bellylicious pictures. 36 weeks and counting!

Pretty Much Home

Our new little house is starting to feel more and more like home. I'm still getting used to being able to hear people talking/screaming into the wee hours of the morning.

Our neighborhood. Love the trees!!

The Y from our front door.

Kitchen

Living room. We're still working on getting couches. I get our one chair and Rory sits in the laundry basket.

Our dining/music/library room.

And the bathroom. Pink tub!

It's better in person. Come visit!

Back Online

We finally got our internet figured out!! What in the world did we do before internet existed? We've been settling down in Provo quite happily. No pictures of the house yet because it's still a work in progress. We like it a lot, though, and it's really close to campus which is nice for Rory.

Our first week here we hiked the Y with Mom and Pete and Laura.

We also went and supported Britt while she ran a 5K color run. I wish we had known about this one earlier. It would have been fun to do with her.

Rory started his grad summer work. He's been very happy and really likes his professor.

This week I went back to Rexburg because Rory was gone to the Mojave all week. It was nice to hang out with my family for a while. I got to watch Sam play a few tennis matches. I'm jealous of his super tan legs.

Here's a picture of Lytle Ranch in southern Utah. Some of Rory's study sites are down there. He says there are lots of poky plants. Yup. He's just a happy guy.

I just have to add that it's really great being somewhere where there are cool restaurants!
