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.
Check out all our new baby stuff from all our loving family and friends:

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.
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.
Great updates Jolene! I'm so glad you are doing a blog, we think about you guys a lot and so we really appreciate all the pics and info. And Tyler loves seeing what project Jordan is working on or the great camping trips you guys take, which we are SUPER jealous about. It makes us antsy to get out there too! I LOVE the baby's room, it turned out so great! Total difference. And the bedding and furniture is really cute too. She is one lucky girl! Glad to hear you are doing well and so far things look good. I totally agree with the maternity clothes thing, it was one of my least favorite things about being pregnant. If I could get away with it, I would have worn sweats and a hoodie the whole 9 months! And I love to see you on that 4 wheeler, I was riding with Cole the week before Kate came. Anyway, can't wait to hear how the appt. goes next week. We'll be thinking about you! Love you lots.
