Hopper Happenings in Wyoming!

We were so happy that one of my good friends from college was having a family reunion near us...so, they drove the extra few hours and stayed with us for a couple of nights...we used the opportunity to try out the new frozen yogurt shop on Rock Springs called, "That yogurt place." And it was delicious!!! It was a little slice of home...they had the normal flavors, chocolate, strawberry, some cool flavors like Root Beer float and Reese's Peanut Butter and of course, my favorite traditional Asian Tart yogurt!! MMMMMM!!! The best surprise for Max was the popping Boba (泡沫) that my mom would get Max in Chinatown was available at our yogurt shop!!!
Max doesn't even care for the yogurt, he just gets a little cup of the Boba's. His favorite flavor is Passion Fruit. This guy behind me in line asked me what flavor I was getting. I replied Passion Fruit to which he rhetorically questioned out loud, "I wonder what fruit they would choose to call 'Passion' flavor...maybe like mango?!" I didn't say anything...I was just happy to be with friends and eating tart yogurt!!!
I saw on her blog that they had the same shirt, so she brought it. Twin-ers it was!!!
The morning before they left, I went to Cowboy donuts and got a dozen of their more tame flavors like, Banana laffy taffy, strawberry blueberry, crumb cake, etc...we didn't venture for the bacon maple bar. We were so happy to have our first visitors stay at our home in Rock Springs. We had a blast, Hoppers!!!!

Clay Hills 2011 & Double Trouble!

Uh oh, we're in trouble...somethings come along and it's burst our bubble...!!!!
First, we have a little announcement that we are expecting twins this fall...which means we are celebrating the new additions to our little family and simultaneously mourning the transition from being a little family into a full fledged adult family!

Each day, we laugh and appreciate the calm happiness we have felt with Max. He is such a wonderful boy and insisted on climbing with his sword and Spiderman mask!

Annie and her girls were here to help celebrate Geoff's birthday. This is one cute family!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we got to have a mini cruise reunion. We got to go celebrate our friends' wedding as well as their new home in Orem, UT. They had it catered by Cafe Rio and it was such a fun night.

Here we are enjoying some chocolate cake...

We had such a fun time but were missing the Popes!!!

Then on Monday, we drove up with Eric's parents and Carli to Lyman to visit some memories and pay our respects...here is a shot of the velvety horns...
