The other day Wes did a news story on a funeral home doing web casting so if you miss the funeral you can catch it online. Anyway, not only is that a weird story but somehow CNN picked it up and thought so to, so they put in on their website. Wes was pretty excited that his story went national so here is a link to his first national story ever! Yea!
CNN story: Funerals go Online
To top it off, I guess CNN will take random story headlines and put them on t-shirts and this one made it
T-Shirt "Can't make Funeral? Catch in on Web"
I got him that t-shirt for an anniversary gift. He was pretty excited.
Now we are just waiting for it in the mail.
Good job Wes

2 Year Anniversary
Happy Anniversary! We made it two years, here are some things that we've done in the last 2 years:
Lived in West Valley, had a car stolen, moved in with my parents for a few months, Wes has worked at 4 different jobs, I've worked at 3, spent a few different weekends in Park City, spent a few weekends in St George, went to Celine Dion in Vegas (one of my favorites) got terribly sunburn in Bear Lake, went on a few bike trips, started a monthly family game night, installed an entire sprinkler system, learned how to bottle fruit, Wes graduated college, I got pregnant and we moved out of state.
It's been a great 2 years! It's been a fun ride and now I'm excited to add to our family and to see what fun things come over the next few years.

Another trip to Salt Lake
We took one last trip to Salt Lake to pick up a few more things for the baby and to see our families. It was a quick little trip but we still got to see everyone so that was fun.
While we were there, my dad gave us a cradle that he made for us. My dad is very good at making anything out of wood and this cradle he gave us is beautiful! You can take it apart easily and it fits in this nice wood case he made to go with it.
When we were with my family, we were all together which doesn't happen too often so we took a picture of all of us, here we are on the front porch
Dad, Daniel, Jessica, Bryce, Mom, Me
Stuart, Wes
While we were there we also picked up our stroller and car seat that Aubrie and Andrew gave us for our birthdays and baby gift. It was very nice of them! I think we are all set now. We have just about everything, well, all of the big stuff like a crib, cradle, car seat, stroller, some diapers, lots of clothes and blankets and lots of other little things. I'm sure something will come up that we didn't think of but hopefully we have most of what we need. The one thing we don't have is a name! I guess we better hurry and decide :)
Now we just have to wait for the baby to come.

Wes and I were talking the other day about the people we know here in Pocatello. Because of our jobs, Wes has gotten to know a lot of the political leaders and law enforcement and such and I've gotten to know various business owners and managers of local places. So here is a story about knowing one of those business owners.
Clayne owns Taco Time here on Yellowstone Ave and he comes in to the bank to make his deposits so I've gotten to know him. Wes drives down Yellowstone every day to get to work. Clayne likes to put quotes and jokes on his marque outside his store and I mentioned to Clayne one day that my husband always reads the sign and he always lets me know when the sign changes or when he thinks the jokes are funny. I was asking Clayne if he was the one that did this and came up with the sayings. He said, yes, he was and he said to tell Wes to come in and buy some food instead of just drive by everyday and read the sign. He asked me what my husbands names was so I told him. This conversation took place a few weeks ago and yesterday Wes drove down Yellowstone and this is what he saw:
Clayne said he would put something on the sign for Wes but I didn't really think he was serious! Now everyone in Pocatello driving down Yellowstone will see Wes' name at Taco Time.
So Wes and I went and bought dinner there last night and took a picture by the sign.

Diapers
I am thinking of stocking up on some diapers while I am still working and have a paycheck.
What kind of diapers do you think are the best? Do you like one brand over another?
Let me know!

Old Friends
This last weekend I met up with some friends from high school. It's been a long time since I've seen a lot of them. They all came to Lava for their traditional yearly vacation and since I live only 30 miles away, I joined them one night for dinner. It was so much fun to see them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WES!!
Today is Wes' birthday!
We both had the day off we got to go play! My younger brother, Stuart, is here visiting for a few days so we all got to play.
We got up and Wes opened presents, then we had a big breakfast, got ready and then we went to Lava Hot Springs! We just went to the water park there and played for a few hours.
I managed to squeeze into a bathing suit and go swimming but I didn't go down any of the fun slides or jump off the diving boards but I did have fun taking pictures of the boys doing that.
We had steaks for dinner at Wes' request and now we are about to make homemade ice cream! Another favorite of ours.
Here are some pics of our fun day...
