This past week we took advantage of our summer break. We went to Wyoming with my parents for a little vacation before we both start school next week. I remembered to pack the camera, however I forgot to take any pictures. A couple years ago I went to Wyoming and everything looked the same this time around (except for my baby bump of course). Here are those pictures from last time Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, & Part 4.
Saturday: Was the looong drive over. We left Kennewick at 7:00 AM. We stopped at Costco for gas and a quick lunch, Wheat Montana for dinner, and some potty breaks in between for the pregnant lady. We rolled up to my Grandma's around 10:00 PM.
Sunday: Church was at 8 AM. I am pretty sure I have never gone that early before. We saw my Aunt Jan, Uncle Stan, my cousins Christian, Michael, and Jacob. It was nice to catch up with them. That evening we went to the Bighorn Canyon Overlook, it was really impressive!
Monday: I got to sleep in, it was wonderful. My Mom and Grandma went to a Daughters of Pioneers meeting. They tried to get me to go but I pulled the pregnancy tired card and stayed home instead. The meeting is 3 hours long! I would have never lasted that long listening to someone talk. My parents had brought a bunch of nectarines and peaches so we helped my Grandma can those.
Tuesday: We got up bright and early to go to the Billing's Temple. I knew it would be a long day so I had a big bowl of steel cut oats topped with pecans and bananas. I was feeling good. At the temple I was kneeling and started to feel like I was going to throw up. My first thought was I can't throw up in the temple, I will be the one and only person that has ever thrown up here, I can't be that person! So instead of listening to the words being spoken I focused on not getting sick. The next thing I know I started seeing stars, I leaned over to Tyler to tell him that I was dizzy but everything went white. They next thing I remember was hearing Tyler say my name. I was lying on the ground and Tyler said I was out for a couple minutes. Everyone was really nice to me and helped me up and took me to a first aid room to help me fully recover. My mom said when I passed out a bunch of women next to her immediately said, "Oh she must be pregnant." I guess it's happened to other pregnant women. I think they should put a sign up telling pregnant women not to kneel!
Wednesday: We went to the farm and collected some chicken eggs, vegetables, and played with the dog Angus. Then we helped my Grandma freeze a bunch of corn and set up her new TV since her last one died. We also watched Hello Dolly, that night. I'm not a fan of musicals so I was a little hesitant to watch it. However I must say that Barbara Streisand and Walter Matthua made a pretty entertaining musical, and I may have even enjoyed it!
Thursday: I wasn't feeling too good so while my parents drove around getting errands done I took it easy. The thought of getting in a car driving on a bumpy road was too much for me. My parents picked a bunch of apples and helped my Grandma can some apple juice. My dad made some pretty awesome gf apple crisp all week just for me as well! We also went to the cemetery to visit my Grandpa's grave. Tyler and I walked around to read all the names and see if there are any that would be fitting for out baby. Here are some examples of the names we saw: Vern, Clarence, Ethel, Edna, Ernest, Mabel, Nellie, Elmer, Lester, Cornelius, and Vergie. Needless to say we probably won't be choosing one of them any time soon.
Friday: Was the big trip back home. We took it slow and went through Yellow Stone since Tyler had never been. We stopped at Old Faithful and went through Jackson Hole. We made it to Burly and called it a night.
Saturday: We stopped in at Nampa to visit my Uncle Eric, Aunt Vicki and their kids. We had a really nice lunch with them and Tyler was able to talk dentistry with my uncle. Then we hit the road and made it back to Kennewick.
Sunday: We stayed over at Tyler's parents house in Pasco to catch up with them before heading back to Seattle. It was a nice relaxing day.
Now we are back, and will be starting our final year of school in Seattle before moving onto our next phase of life.

Woohoo baby bump! Sounds like you guys had a busy week! Even if it's busy, it's nice to at least be away from "real life" for a little while.
So sorry you passed out at the temple. Yep, preggo mammas shouldn't kneel at the temple. My parents saw it happen to someone once while they were there. Glad that you are feeling better though! Onto the second trimester! It's the best!
Yes, good luck with the 2nd trimester, usually the favorite. Your bump looks so cute!
I am pretty excited! Now I just need advice from all of you expert mamma's out there!
LOVED that feeling of being over the hump of the worst of the nausea. It's a new lease on life and you get to enjoy your pregnancy so much more! I hope you have a wonderful second trimester! I'm sad to not be around there to see you in your glow! Let me know when your baby shower is schedule - I want to come!
