Pictures at Wheeler Farm

Bryn and I went to Wheeler Farm on Saturday for a little bit to appear at our extended Madsen family reunion and to take some pictures! We decided on a new tradition that we'll take pics of us every two years (last time was our wedding). It was kind of weird because we felt like we were engaged again and there were plenty of people around who probably thought we were. But who cares! Being engaged was fun. 

And being married is more fun. 

I liked the picture above because it was a little more spontaneous 

than posed (believe it or not) and I like Bryndon's "smile lines." 

. 

Totally a posed shot... 

(we were there to take pictures, weren't we?)

I thought Bryndon looked particularly handsome that day.

Don't we women like when a beautiful man looks at us like that? 

Yay for the "Rec Mode" on our camera!  

It allowed us to have our professional photographers 

(my sister Grace and aunt Marcia) 

to hold down the button while the camera took a whole bunch 

of pictures in a row. That way we could move a little bit to 

try different poses and most likely (most hopefully) there 

was at least one where we both have a normal smile.  

And by the way, the weather was gorgeous. 

September is Bryndon's favorite month of the year 

and it is quickly becoming mine as well!

HEBGEN ON EARTH

Ok, I know this is WAY late to be writing about HEBGEN as it's about time for fall, but I thought I'd share some of our favorite pics. I was way rusty on the ski, and always lament that recurring fact each year when we return to Hebgen, because we don't waterski at any other time during the year. So we are able to ski a few times each summer then kind of have to start over again the next year getting ourselves back in the game. But we love it! It is such a thrill to be in that refreshing water (after getting used to it), then get pulled on top of the glassy (at certain points in the day) water while you look across to the gorgeous mountains surrounding you in 360 degrees. We were sad to have only 2 1/2 days there this summer, but grateful to be able to go at all!

This is the HUNK of my life... look at those arms!! Bryndon was amazing on one ski this year!!! I loved watching him---he never gave up and kept getting better each time. He has made fast progress over the last few years, especially since he wasn't brought up skiing every year, and is now totally comfortable on the slalom (I've never written that word before and it looks weird). Anyway, this is a great shot of his manliness. :)
