Memorial Day

We went up to Lava for memorial day with my family.  It had rained a lot the week before we went up there & unfortunately our big heavy trailer slid in the mud & got stuck.  It was such a slippery mud that when I got out of the truck to check things out I literally started sliding down the mountain myself!!  Jax was a bit of a pest this weekend due to the competition of my attention with my cute nieces.  It was a rough weekend emotionally for me, Jax is my 1st child & I tend to get a little emotional when it comes to him...I know crazy dog lady me!!  Our chain saw also died while we were up there which was not a good thing since it was cold & we went through quite a bit of firewood, so Kip, Jax & I took a little road trip to Pocatello to buy a new one! I was lame & these are the only pictures I got while I was there, but we had fun nonetheless.

Life's a Changing

Yep!!  We are PREGNANT!!  We could not be happier for this little bundle of joy to soon join our family.  I am currently at 10 weeks which puts our due date in December.  I am convinced it is a boy & don't see that there are any other options, but Kip said today he thinks it is a girl.  Our niece Madi is convinced it is a girl & cannot even comprehend why we would want to have a boy, she is so funny.  Our niece Lexi since finding out there was a baby in my belly now has decided she also has a baby "Gus" in her belly.  Such cute girls. Jax just can't wait to have a kid all of his own...or so I say for him!

Malad

Kip had his annual boy's trip up to Malad the beginning of May.  Jax & I joined him on Sat. along with my dad, mom, Nicole & Ray.  It was freezing for the most part & we went through a ton of firewood! That is also why I look like the marshmallow man in the picture below, I believe under Kip's coat I had on another coat, a sweatshirt, long-sleeve shirt & a short-sleeve shirt.  I fell asleep around the campfire Saturday night & woke to everyone running around cause it was snowing!!  The boys liked playing in the snow with the 4-wheelers & Kip & Ray managed to get themselves stuck.  My dad was just off playing on his new 4-wheeler none the wiser that the other boys were struggling to get out of the snow while us girls sat & laughed at them.  We went on some pretty rocky trails & had lots of fun getting through some sticky situations.  We had so much fun & can't wait to do it again.  Thanks guys for a great weekend!
