Wyoming..Utah...Wyoming...Utah

So much has happened in the last few months it is hard to know where to start. After Tyler graduated in May he decided he wanted to get some more experience with the Dairy he has been working on and off with for the last couple of years, so we headed to Wyoming intending to be there for the summer. We discover that the normal 6 hour trip has now turned into an excruciating 9 hour trek, apparently 4 month old babies are not accustomed to driving straight through, no stops. Meanwhile we hear word of a Dairy being built literally a few miles away from my parents house. So we moved in with Tyler's parents, not wanting to get ourselves into any contracts we can't get out of in case an opportunity presents itself with this dairy back home. Tyler chats with the boss man and the boss man not only wants to talk with Tyler, but also me and Aiden, so we get in the car for another 9 hours and meet with the boss man and his family in Salt Lake. We chat and have a nice dinner, Tyler agrees to head down to Southern Utah to farm for this guy until we get the thumbs up on the dairy. But of course our stuff is still in Wyoming at his parents house, so we take off first thing in the morning for the trek back to Wyoming, yes another 9 hours! We stay for a few more days and then make the trip to Southern Utah, which is a total of about 14 hours, luckily we split that trip into two days! After this crazy month of driving, I have vowed to Aiden that I will give him a break for the rest of the summer! Poor Kid! He was such a good baby, but had definitely had enough of the car seat and now screams every time I try to put him in it. So now we are waiting to hear if this dairy is a for sure thing. Meanwhile Tyler is farming and we are living with my parents.

That was definitely the short version of the story. But to fill in some gaps, here are a few pictures of all the fun we have been having in Wyoming and Utah.


Aiden is now eating cereal and fruits & veggies, he loves it!


We had so much fun with our friends in Wyoming. Our friends Jake, Gretchen and their boy Owen live in Lovell, WY and our other friends Spence, Amber and their baby girl Mia were visiting family in Lovell. I played basketball with Gretchen and Amber and we always have a jolly ol' time when we get together. (Sorry Mia...You must be a little shy around my camera!)

This is Aiden and his Grandma Emmett finding all kinds of new toys! We had a blast with Tyler's family. Julia and Eric and their family even visited for a while. I even credit Aiden for teaching Malyka how to roll over!

Aiden loves that Utah Air!!! He gets pretty antsy being indoors, he lives for our morning stroller rides and sitting outside on the swing. This is a picture of him and his Grandma Woods.




Aiden and his cousin Dylan playing together.



Our carriage ride at my cousins wedding, Aiden wasn't too impressed but my neices sure had a blast!

  4. Woodsy!! We miss you so much! Aiden is looking as cute as ever and he looks like he is sitting up so good! (: A few days after you left Owen was crying about something and then he goes, "I want Agne!" So I know that he is missing you guys too. Looks like you are having fun, wish you were coming for Lovell's Days but it doesn't look like another 14 hours is in the cards. Tell the fam hi for me!

  5. Aiden is getting so big! I hope you guys end up in Utah for selfish reasons. That way I might get to see you once in awhile when we get down there. My mom said she talked to you recently. I so hope we can see you when we're there in August. That would be so fun! No more car rides for you guys!
