Dream Come True!

It's opening day and Ry already has an Elk down! Ry woke up and headed to the mountain way before most of civilization even realized it was morning. He bugled in this bull and the picture tells the rest of the story. He made a perfect shot with his bow and the bull only ran about 100 yards. Congrats Ry!
Thanks to dad Bill and Beauty for packing down more than half of the weight.

The guys haulin' the rest. Lucky me I was just the camera girl!

Just Another Day

So Paige is officially "teething" as of yesterday. Talk about frustration! It has been a crazy day. She can go from being perfectly happy to screaming and drooling everywhere in a matter of seconds. I feel like we were just getting into a good routine and she was being quite happy and then BAM! just like that something has to come along a screw that up! So here are a few pics from the happy times of today. As you can see in the picture above, a bib and burp cloth have become extremely necessary fashion accessories.
After another blow out diaper I was putting this outfit on Paige and had to stop and laugh out loud because she reminded me of a baby Shrek!
Finally, Ry came home and saved the day while I finished dinner. Gary and Sherman are just as fascinated with Paige as she is with them.

Bear Lake Photos!

Bear Lake!

We took our first trip to Bear Lake this past weekend with our friends Jason, Rachel, and Xander. We had a great time! I can't believe that I have lived in Idaho my entire life and never been to Bear Lake. The water was gorgeous and the weather awesome! We spent most of our days on the beach soaking up the sun and playing in the water. Jason and Rachel drove their trailer down to the beach so we had a great place to chill and let the babies nap right on the beach! We only had a few tragedies. First was getting stuck in the sand. We probably got stuck a total of 3 or 4 times with 3 different cars. (Luckily we had 2 trucks so we didn't stay stuck for long!) Second was flooding Jason's Explorer. (Don't worry, it drove away fine just a little wet!) Paige enjoyed the trip and was able to experience her first boat ride. I think she wanted to go on the tube but we told her she would just have to wait a little longer. (She needs a few more dunks under her belt!) Ryan and I enjoyed the trip as well. Especially because the bouncing of the truck caused Paige to sleep the entire car ride there and back! We really enjoyed spending time with our friends and can't wait to go again!

Portland Update

First Trip To Portland

We brought Paige along for her first "official" trip to Portland. (She did make it a few time in-utero). The plane ride was great only a few complaints from her towards the end of the last leg. Today we went to the community center in Hillsboro with all of the Orme cousins. Paige had her first dunk and also practiced her floating skills. Halfway through the swim trip Paige had had enough and cashed it in right there in the pool! We love visiting our fam in Portland and are looking forward to the week we get to spend here.

The whole swimming clan! (Minus Ry who was nice enough to take the pic)

Hangin' in the pool with Aunt Heather and Cousin Rachel.

ENOUGH!
