We went camping in Sun Valley over the weekend. It was supposed to rain so we almost bailed on the trip. Good thing we didn't because it was pretty fun! 
Justin Madsen met up with us from Idaho Falls. He is a pretty cool guy, I'm glad he came. 
We made such yummy pizza dinners over the fire! Seriously I gotta get me some of those pizza camp fire cookers.
I am so glad I was able to enjoy camping while being 33 weeks pregnant. I am lucky to have the body I do. It's treated me pretty well so far being pregnant.
I hope Jordan and I continue to go camping with our kids.

Yesterday was a FUN day! So many memories that I have to document. We needed to make a "still frame" movie for my Grandma's talent show in July. She is hosting some special family visitors this summer and wants to put on a talent show for them. She asked each family to come up with a talent. Well since most of my family(me, Burke, Brady, Sarah and possibly Jordan) wont be able to attend my dad came up with an idea that involves most of us that won't be able to come! Obviously Brady and Sarah couldn't be in the movie because they live in Missouri now. Our "Still Frame" movie is mimicking the movie "Rocky." The pictures below are some high lights that really show how much fun we had doing this. 




Here we have my dad:

The Director!

He has been working on that rat tail for 2 years now. Looks great doesn't it? :)
No but for real he totally left this hair strand extension in his hair all day. He got some pretty good reactions. 


















 





Jordan:

My studly, All American heart throb :)























These are some action shots of "Bur-KO" and "Jo-Jo" fighting.









And this is just a cute picture of me and Jordy. A look into our future together.

This is cute when you first look at it right?? A sweet love note left on the coffee table for me. Well look again. Those are Jordan's toe nails!!! Still cute?? Actually yes :) I love it when Jordan does funny stuff like this. It makes my life interesting and keeps things fun. I made him scrape them into the trash can though... I wasn't about to touch them.
Gotta love that guy.

(Real date: June 17, 2014)
Sometimes I don't post publish stuff until the next day


  Family Night!!! With the exception of the kid in the orange and gray shirt, he is Bailey's "friend" Kobe Crawford. So here we are all at Kona Grill. It's a restaurant that sells sushi. I did not partake in this raw fish feast. 1. because I'm pregnant. 2. because sushi is disgusting. 

As you can see here: Bailey doesn't like sushi either. Good girl. My mom also tried it for her 
first time.. But I don't even think her one tiny little bite wasn't long enough for me to get a             picture. Should have eaten more mom! ;)

Any way, we also saw the movie "Edge of Tomorrow" with Tom Cruise in it. It was... pretty weird at the beginning. Once it picked up though it wasn't so bad. Entertaining really. I'm really interested to see how movies change in the next 15 years.

You can't really tell where we are at in this picture but it's a pretty cool location. Reason being: Jordan took me on our first date here :) these are the famous Bruneau Sand Dunes. We tagged along with Jenna and her friend, Sydney. Karla and Norm wanted to do something fun because Sydney is visiting from Colorado. We saw Saturn and a Galaxy cluster in the giant observatory telescope. It was fun recreating memories and hanging out with good company.  


I had to share this picture because I thought it was so cute how Jordan insisted we stop by REI to look at "Dad Packs." hahaha. And what made it even better was that he had to try on the goofiest one in the store. To him(and Bailey) it's not goofy, rather cool instead. Okay nevermind.. Jordan just told me to say that it's "Freakin sweet!" We'll see if Hazel ever gets a ride in that thing.... it's great for insanity hikes or maybe a back backing trip across Europe. But for every day use... yah no. Gotta love my Jordy. He is so adorable.

Zoo Boise Butterfly exhibit. It was cute to see all the people react when the butterflies would land on Hazel. They all thought it was so adorable. I had to fake a "bathroom emergency" in order to cut the exit line(the volunteers had to check each person to make sure they didn't still have a butterfly on their body) It worked like a charm and no one questioned me since I am pregnant. I would have attached a picture of Jordan on here but... he deleted all of them. Sorry everyone

Our Lake Cruise was a blast! Great way to end our McCall trip! The scenery was breathtaking


Yes, it was that cold! Once the sun went down I started to freeze! Love me some layers

Went to McCall for the weekend to enjoy some time to ourselves. It was such a perfect night. This place is a real beauty. I'm so lucky to have a guy like Jordan. He always makes me feel special and not to mention he is so adorable!

I'm new to this

This is my very first blog. I am not familiar with blogging nor am I a very good writer either. As of right now this blog is to keep me from being bored all day while my husband is at work for his internship this summer. I need to keep my mind preoccupied through out the day to keep me from thinking too much about how I excited I am that we are having a baby girl in August! The more I think about how badly I want her to be here, the slower time seems to pass by. I don't want that. I want time to go by FAST! Not too fast though. I also want to be able to enjoy this Hazel Summer. Both mine and my husbands family lives here and we want to be able to spend as much time with them as possible! We want them to have an unforgettable summer this year! Full of good times that we will talk about for years to come! Most importantly... my husband and I want to relive the best summer anyone could possibly imagine. The summer we met, just last year.
I hope this blog is good for me. I want to be able to consume my time with positive and creative energy. I also hope that I don't neglect this blog, seeing how I have done that to many of my online journaling sites before.
Therefore, I dedicate this blog to Hazel,  my daughter. May she appreciate it one day! Enjoy
