HEBGEN LAKE!!!

Justin and I enjoyed another summer up in Montana! This year our time up there was cut short because we are going to have a baby in less than a month! My doctor insisted that I be home for my weekly appointments and I know that I need to be home, but I just hate leaving this beautiful place! I have come up to my grandpa's cabins at Hebgen Lake, Montana ever since I was born! The only summer that I missed was when I was in Romania on my mission! This place means so much to our family. It is a family vacation spot that my grandpa's parents started and now all of his sibling and their children and grandchildren all have cabins of their own on this beautiful lake! I loved being up there, although in June the water is freezing and it was pretty rainy the entire time. But I enjoyed the weather being eight months pregnant! I was glad to get out of the Utah summer heat. I love being pregnant, but the only down side is that I wasn't able to go water skiing or anything like that. I felt so restricted and it was so hard to watch everyone else go tubing, skiing, etc. and not be able to join in. I think I will plan my next baby to be due right before the summer so I can enjoy it more! Well, I am not that great of a blogger, but my husband bought me a nice new canon xsi camera for mother's day...well future mother's day for me and I love it! It was such a nice gift, so I made sure to put it to use!!!! Here are some pictures from Montana!!! We call our cabins Hebgen I, Hebgen II, Legacy, and there is one is the process of being built that we call Targhee! We have to have multiple cabins to house my grandparent's 50 grandkids, 1 great grandchild, and 20 adults! We are one big family but we love being together!

Justin jokingly asked this ranger to take a picture with him in front of Old Faithful! The ranger was completely flattered!

Okay, well I have to brag about my husband! I think he is amazing! He is the most motivated and hard working person I have ever met. He is so talented! He is smart, athletic, such a great husband, and he can make anything he wants to. The smaller things have been him making our beautiful entertainment center. The larger things...well he just made a 600 foot zip line up in Montana on my grandpa's property. It is not one that you just hold onto...that would be too dangerous! He made one that you are harnessed into! Everyone in my family enjoyed it so much! He only spent a couple of days working on it and it was complete! I love how hard of a worker he is and that he actually loves doing these type of projects! Anyway, enough bragging...I just feel lucky and blessed to have such a great husband!!!

In the beginning...
