Camping Trip #2 and Baby Update . . .

  Sorry it took so long. Not enough hours in the day sometimes. I've had it written, but just needed the pictures. Enjoy!
  We had our second camping trip and went to Thompson Reservior outside of Silverlake in Eastern Oregon. We went along with our bestfriends Jesse and Damaris, my brother Chad and his girlfriend Kati, and our friends Jake and Jennifer. It was so much fun. We were able to do a little fishing, though unsuccessful, hunting, and riding. All our favorite activities. I think we are headed to the coast for our next trip over Memorial Day weekend. It should be a blast just like every other year. Hope the weathers nice! Cross your fingers!!

Here we are exporing old roads. And Jordan cutting the
road block.



Still cutting.

Decided to take some with us for fire wood.



Found more to take!

If that's not red neck, I'm not sure what is!

Oh, look another log to cut!

And another!

And more fire wood!

Here is Jake and his big catch for the weekend. The only
person to land one.
Jordan, trying to catch a fish!

He's so determined

Our camp. There's our camper in the background. 
You know, the one we only like when the heater works!
 Yeah, that one! It got really cold at night!!!


My two favorite people.





What a cute couple.

SHHH, WE'RE HUNTING WABBITS!

Back home where the grass is green and the goats run free.



We have religious goats!

  Last weekend ( a few weekends ago now) was so beautiful we did a whole bunch of stuff around the house. We mowed everything, planted flowers and the garden, picked out paint for the baby room and the outside trim of the house, and spread bark in the flower beds. All sorts of good stuff. We have quite the summer project list going on (and when I say we, I really mean me. Jordan just gets to help :) sorry Jordan ), but we are making a pretty good dint in it so far and it's not even summer yet.

  Jordan and his buddy Tyler finished painting the Bronco. IT LOOKS AWESOME!!! They did a great job. I can't believe how big of a difference paint makes.




  We are finished with the baby's room. We just have a few things left to do. We need some sort of curtain over the closet, another valence, and some stuff on the walls. We were blessed with wonderful, thoughtful, and very giving family who bought us the crib, changing table, mattress, and bumper set. Thank you Grandma, Aunt Debi, and Aunt Diane!! You're the best ever. I took before and after pictures.

This was my Mother's day gift from my Aunt Debi.

These cuties made there way all the way from Alaska.
Thanks Aunt Nene and Marty!
  Our friends Stephanie and Carl Plumblee gave us like 15 or 20 outfits, that they used for their daughter. Everything is so cute. I can't wait to put her in all of it. Thanks guys.

 We had our doctor appointment last Monday and everything was perfect. We listened to her heart and mine, and they were both just fine he said. I asked him when I get bigger, will my heart problem effect me or the baby and he said it shouldn't. And that I can expect to have a natural healthy delivery. So that was good news. I have been feeling much better lately. Almost like a light switch. I think the sunny weather has a lot to do with it. It just makes you feel happier. I have noticed that the projects and chores that I use to be able to do easily have gotten a lot harder. I can't believe how tired I can get after doing hardly anything. Also I'm beginning to swell. My hands and feet get really swollen. I can't wear my wedding ring sometimes. Hopefully I will continue to feel good. I am slowly beginning to wear the dreadful maternity cloths more often than not now. They are so expensive and not my style. I just want a crew neck T-shirt with some sort of logo on the front (and not a baby saying), and some flare leg pants to cover my feet (not those straight leg or skinny jeans). Is that too much for a pregnant girl to ask for!!!!!!!???????? Counldn't get any simpler than that, you would think. Oh well, I guess. Not much I can do about it.

 Our next appointment is on June 9th. So more to come then. I think after that appointment we will start the every other week appointments. Wow, has it gone fast or what? Hope all is well with everyone.
