Camping

I am not a big fan of camping at all but Bear on the other hand LOVES camping. Since we have been married we have only been once so when his friend invited him a month a go to go camping he of course said yes and I didn't have another choice :] But it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. We went with a group of 14 people so we had good company and got to know some new people. The only negative part was that it was FREEZING cold and windy which made it even more cold. The whole time I had on 2 sweaters and was bundled in a blanket. Having a campfire going the whole weekend was very comforting. I told Bear that if we get a camper we just might be able to camp more often...We went on a hike, played card games, and most importantly relaxed ALL weekend! Can't wait till the next or can I....

Here is Toby in the garage sniffing our stuff becuase he knew we were leaving. Toby has a good sense and can tell when we are leaving somewhere and whines and whines for about an hour while we are packing. I missed Toby but it was nice not having to worry about him. Thank you mom and dad for taking care of him!!

We stopped somewhere on the way to our camping site and took some pictures for the view.

Here is Bear cooking me breakfast. He cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 2 days and it was so yummy! I am so glad he payed attention in Scouts thats for sure....

Here we are on a hike. The sun was very bright but the weather was perfect and it was nice walk.

These 2 guys went through fire academy with Bear. They are really nice guys and it also helps that they have great girlfriends so I have someone to hang out with while they are doing their "guy" stuff...

We are on the rim of the mountain....The view again was so pretty!

And here was our good friend during the weekend....I think we would of froze without this fire!

Easter

We had an Easter dinner with Bears mom, grandma, brother, and sis in law on Saturday night. We had my favorite Steak and potatoes. It was fun having them over and just hanging out. We haven't seen them since his brother got married in December!! Bears mom usually brings some kind of activity for us to do at gatherings so this year we got to make Easter baskets for eachother and she brought over all different kinds of things to put in them along with cute Easter baskets. I didn't get that many pictures but here are the few I got...

On Sunday we went over to my parents house for dinner. It was fun having the whole family over since its been about 4 years the last time we were all together for a holiday!

I am going to be.....

An aunt!! As I am very excited for my sister inside I can't help to be a little sad...someday it will be our turn I guess just not right now and I have to keep telling myself that so I don't lose all hope!



I was able to go with her to her 1st doctor appt and that made me happy that she wanted me there :] We got to hear the heartbeat and see the little guy moving around everywhere! This is the first baby on our side and it will be way fun to have a little baby around to play with and spoil!! He/She is expected to arrive on Sept 30!! these are happy tears...
