2 updates in one month!

We are liking Idaho Falls. We have met some great people, visited some beautiful sights and are enjoying a change of scenery from Provo. We like to think of this as a practice run for when we leave Utah for graduate school hopefully in January.
Cambry and her cousin Crosby: Crosby the tank was born 5 weeks after Cambry and weighed 9 lbs 5 oz. That night he was born, we weighed Cambry and she weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz.


At the Idaho Falls Temple Visitor Center they have murals of photographs taken by the Hubble Telescope. This is a picture of a spiral galaxy and my whole world.

Cambry falls asleep in a baby swing most nights because she seems to be most calm when she is moving... (Hmm sounds like both her parents) We tried out the swing at the park and it definitely didn't have the same calming effect.

Idaho Falls has their very own mirnor league baseball. The team name is Idaho Chuckars. If you're wondering what a chuckar is, the mascot is in the back ground... It's some sort of nappy bird. It was another wonderful event that our little lady slept through ;)

Isn't she a California dream?
I'm not sure why you have to be disabled to get a front row view of this sweet 12 foot high stall. Idaho can be a little strange.

The First Post of Cambry's Firsts


This last week has been a big week for us and Cambry. She had her first move. Devin got an internship working for Idaho National Lab for the summer. She did so well riding in the car for 5 hours up to Idaho Falls for a 3 week old baby. There was some road construction along the way and traffic was moving an inch a minute it seemed. Right after I passed an exit, Cambry started screaming for lunch. Of course the shoulder was closed and there was no where to pull off. Luckily, her lungs are much stronger than before.

Cambry also had her first vacation to Yellowstone.

Cambry didn't talk much, but we think she was excited... Yippee!


Cambry's first visit to a waterfall. This is called Mesa Falls. We found it on a scenic byway on our way to Yellowstone. We thought the "white noise" of the falls would be relaxing to her, but apparently the sun in her eyes over rid any relaxing sound.


Cambry's first trip to Big Springs. Side note: This place was one of the stops Devin and I made on our first vacation together with the Airhart fam.

Flashback: February 2008, our first vacation together.

Cambry's First Swim. She was such a fish! We were a little nervous she would freak out in the water, but we gave it a whirl. We only got her lower legs in the water, but she was loving it. She especially loved her toes in the hot tub. A lady came and said how horrible the water was for her heart. Look at the pic with Devin... does that look like a baby in cardiac arrest?

Cambry's First Hike: Fairy Falls
Although Cambry didn't see much more than Devin's hoodie, this place is beautiful, and we had a good time. We had some unplanned obstacles along the way, and didn't get to finish the hike though...

Two buffaloes were standing guard on the trail and had a lot friends to back them up. We decided to call it quits at that point. Good thing, though, because it started to rain on the way back.

Overall, it was good trip. We can't wait to visit Yellowstone again.
