Camping Weekend

We took full advantage of the long weekend this year.  Work has been crazy busy and it was so nice to get away from the world for a few days and enjoy nature.  We went camping in Idaho with some friends and had a blast.  We had some nice sunny weather and a couple crazy rain storms.  Here's a peek of our adventures:
Luke rock climbing.  He made it to the top.  GO LUKE!!!!
Ignore the fact that Luke is standing awkwardly - this is the only picture of us together.  
Fence golf.  This turned out to be a big hit and I almost peed my pants while playing.  You would think I would've learned my lesson from my grandmother.  
Bike riding.  It's been a while since I've ridden a bike, but as the saying goes, "It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it" (or something like that).
Here's our little campsite.  We had some pro fire-makers which was very handy since the mornings were a little nippy.
And here's just some beautiful pictures of our surroundings for your viewing pleasure.


This was after our camping adventures were over, but still a beautiful sight.  It was even more enjoyable after a shower and indoor plumbing :)
We'll definitely have to break out the tent again soon.  If anyone wants to come next time, let us know and we'll have a grand ole time.

Its about time!!!

I officially have 5 minutes to sit down and make a post.  Life has been crazy busy and any spare moment that I have, I'm usually not blogging.  Here's a quick catch-up of the past month for us.  Make sure to read to the end.  

We celebrated Easter at my Grandparents house with all my cousins - most of them anyway.  Here's Scott sporting his fantastic find.  
My mother and I celebrated our birthdays! YEA!  I'm now the big 2-4! Mom is now... just kidding, we won't expose that.  My birthday was great!  My family came up to have dinner, open presents and have a fun night of Guitar Hero.  It was a day spent in great company.
On my mom's birthday, Steve proposed to his sweetheart, Kristen.  It was well disguised since she thought they were all going out to dinner for my mom.  What a surprise that ended up being!  I'm super excited for September 17th to roll around.  
After 6 months, I finally got my hair cut and colored again and I love it!  This is Hope, my cute neighbor, and I showing off our new do's.  
And for the announcement you've all been waiting for.....
I'M PREGNANT!!!!!  We are due the first week of November and we are so excited!!! I'm through the first trimester, which wasn't that bad.  Hopefully it stays that way.  We'll find out what we're having in 6 weeks.  I can hardly wait!!! I think it will a lot more real at that point!

Well that's all for now.  I had to throw in a picture of the cat, since I know you've been missing Monster.  She fell asleep while playing with her toy.  So cute!
