Fall is Here!

Fall is here which means football now consumes our daily lives. Brian is an assistant coach for the Pinedale Wranglers. He has been gone a lot and doesn't get to come home until 6:30 or so because of practice, but I'm glad he has the opportunity to do it. He loves coaching and even though he gets frustrated, I know he wouldn't trade it for anything. He loves having a positive impact on kids' lives like his coaches had on him. AND as long as he is happy...I'm happy!
Here he is with his JV team during a game. He is the one in the green shirt...school pride ya know.
The famous "coaches" stance.

If you notice the Pinedale Wranglers mascot looks quite similiar to one we all know and love. It makes me laugh because this is definitely the high school for Brian. The bucking horse as the mascot AND they play the "Cowboy Joe" song as their fight song...so needless to say I came in knowing all the words!


We ventured to see the other bucking horse down in Laramie to watch #2 Texas battle against the Wyoming Cowboys thanks to some awesome friends for finding us tickets. It was a good time and even though it ended in a loss which was pretty much inevitable at least it was a good time with a ton of screaming cowboy fans. I laughed at myself standing and screaming in the student section being 7 1/2 months prego.


Even though the pokes could not pull out the impossible I did capture the image of Wyoming beating the #2 Texas by 4 points! It only lasted about 30 seconds before that dang Texas scored again but hey at least we could say it DID happen!
Sunday afternoon we decided to go exploring again and headed to Green River Lakes. It was gorgeous and so fun to get out in the nice fall weather before winter comes and never leaves.



Only 6 weeks to go.



Brian wasn't quite into the modeling thing as I wanted him to be....go figure!

Exploring Our New Home!

Brian and I decided to go explore the scenic area around our new home up in the Wind Rivers next to Pinedale. After you see these I know you will all be calling to pencil in your reservation at Hotel Brisko. A pretty rainbow at Half Moon Lake which is one of the first lakes from Pinedale probably only about 5 miles outside.


Fremont Lake which starts only 3 miles out of Pinedale but stretches for a really long ways. This is up top about 10 miles from the beginning.


Another view of Fremont Lake with I think Willow Lake in the background. So in case you wondering, yes, there is awesome fishing in Pinedale. Just one of the many amenties that Hotel Brisko has to offer their guests. In fact, we met some young hip individuals hiking on a trail that were from Long Beach California for Labor Day Weekend. So it seems to me... Pinedale is the vacation of choice!

The Wind River Mountain Range which is what cute little Pinedale is nestled against. So, now that I have enticed all of you to either come visit or hey why not even move here too! (right?!) YES! Call and reserve your reservation to stay at Hotel Brisko in lovely Pinedale, Wyoming....believe me you will not be disappointed.

And the lovely host at Hotel Brisko who has been packing on a little weight as of late if you haven't noticed. I have been harassed about putting belly pictures up....so reluctantly I am putting one up. Needless to say I put one with me in front of a pretty backdrop so hopefully it would take the attention away from the ginormo belly! =)
