My Etsy

So I have been quite busy the last month with school starting and my new found hobby. While I was home in Wyoming I finally learned how to sew from my Mom. I learned how to make these adorable purses and started my own Etsy site. Below is a picture of all the bags I have made so far, but I would love for you to check out my site and you can see them better from there. It is http://www.modernessence.etsy.com 

Our Trip to Yellowstone

At the beginning of August Jade and I decided to go home for a few weeks before school started. We actually stayed pretty busy while we were there. The first week we were home my Dad's side of the family came up to visit and we all took a trip to Yellowstone. Im pretty sure we saw everything there was to see, and it was a lot of fun once I stopped worrying about being attacked by a bear.  Here are some pictures of our trip.

The Lower Falls. This was a rough hike, but it was worth the view!

Cocoa Beach

We went with Craig and Deann to Cocoa Beach. Craig was reluctant in going because he was afraid of getting a sun burn, but he and Jade ended up having a great time on their boogie boards. 

We actually got to see the space shuttle launch from Kennedy Space Center while we were on this beach. It was an awesome experience and I will try to get it uploaded on here from our video camera. 

Siesta Key Beach

One day while we were in Florida we went with my parents to the best beach! The water was so warm and the sand was pure white.

We wish we could go to the beach every day. I think we may have to live closer to the ocean some day. 

A fun Weekend With Family

Friday was my 22nd Birthday. I spent the day shopping with my mother and sister in law. Later that evening we all went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and had an ice cream cake from coldstone! It was such a great Birthday! Thank you everyone!

On Saturday Brook brought my nieces over to go swimming in our pool. The water was a bit chilly, but I think that they had a good time.

Feeding the ducks

We went to this pond to feed the ducks and they came right up to us to get the bread. It was a little scary because I thought they might bite my toes, but they were really cute. I wanted to take one home with us!
