Hey, it's us. It's been awhile since I've turned the computer on and so I'm feeling a bit out of the loop. But, that's okay. Good things are happening. We went camping with the Stevenson fam over Labor day weekend and it was a blast. We went up to Lake Lyman in the Uintah's which is a favorite spot of mine because I grew up going there for girl's camp. I was so sad to have to come home to noise and laundry and life and warmth. Well, I guess the warmth wasn't too bad to come back to. Yup, we were caught up in the mountains during the big storm that hit Utah last week and it was craziness. Downright blizzard. It was nice to snuggle up in our trailers and play games and watch the snow fall. Anisten enjoyed it too (she could care less what the temperature was as long as she could play). It's a trip we look forward to every year and it was so nice to get away. To quote Anisten: "Camping! Fun!" Just to warn you: I took a ton of pictures. More than I realized, so it's a bit long.
Rob and Anisten on our walk around the lake
Our family in front of Lake Lyman (sorry it's so dark. It didn't look that dark on my camera)
Anisten in her lifejacket, getting ready to brave the canoe ride. She actually liked it (although her face doesn't look too excited)
Checkin out the canoe. We really did ride in the canoe, but I didn't get a picture of it because I was clutching on to Anisten and would not let her go until we were safely on dry ground again.
Takin a ride on the 4 wheeler. We got down the road a ways and Anisten's like "down." So, that didn't last too long. I think the loud noise is what scared her.
Rob listening to the BYU game. First game of the season (at home too!) and he was camping with his family. What a guy :)
Anisten did take a tumble (of course), but it wasn't so bad. She actually fell down kind of slowly, but then rolled over into the dirt and it just sort of stuck to her. I thought it was hilarious.
It didn't stop her moving for long
Rob fishing in the float tube on Little Lyman Lake
Here comes the rain. Even that didn't slow her down. She screamed when I took her inside
Hanging out inside while the storm raged outside
The crazies who decided to brave the storm (for a little while at least)
Anisten enjoying her portable DVD player inside out of the cold
Anisten all bundled up with Uncle Bryce. "Take me over there! I want to run!"
I could not get enough of how cute she looked all bundled up
Grandpa and Anisten in front of Little Lyman. The mist looked so cool coming off the water
Rob fishing Little Lyman. Beautiful
Anisten touched the little fish that Rob caught her to see. She's braver than I am
And that is the end of our trip. This week has definitely made me wish that we were back up in the mountains, but I'll expound upon that later. Here's a few pics of our house and these aren't even up to date. Rob's doing really well. We have walls!

Lake Lyman is so much fun! It was fun being up there this year and with the whole fam! Anisten was too cute, I think we bonded a little bit, so if you ever need a babysitter, I will make sure the girls are here too! Love ya lots!
She is so cute..such a cute little mix of you and Rob. I can't believe it snowed up there, I didn't know that but I guess I am not surprised. Still looks like fun though!
Looks like you had so much fun!! I agree there is nothing better then being up in the mountains! Anisten looks like she had so much fun I love her make shift gloves. She does look so cute all bundled up!
Bri...seriously you guys are the cutest! Anisten is getting so big and of course she is beautiful! I'm glad we can keep in touch through the blogging world because I agree we don't talk enough!! Love ya tons!!
Oh, I love Lake Lyman! So much fun up there...and it always rained atleast one day while I was up there! Congrats on the new little one (I will send the boy wishes your way). Anisten is adorable! How exciting to have your house in the works. You have so much to look forward to--how fun!
Ah, this post reminded me of Girls Camp. They always told us to stay away from the water because of the leaches. I hope Rob didn't have a problem with them in his float tube. And the snow just makes for good memories.
