Post about Pete

We took last week and had our annual family camp out at Pete's Hole. This was my favorite place to camp with my family growing up and has yet to fail us for entertainment. It was nice to hang out with my family and see my kids with my parents. It rained and Abby and Will got sick. Our camp was sprayed by a skunk not once but twice yet through it all we still had a good time. Here are a few pix depicting our trip.

A pretty good picture showing the beauty of the little fishing hole.

Lizzie was so so so excited to catch this fish. And I was so excited to stand next to her as she reeled it in. My mom fried up the fish that very night and Lizzie devoured her prize catch of the day.

All of the grandkids couldn't wait to go fishing with Grandpa. Unfortunately we were rained out but we at least got our poles wet.

Lizzie loved fishing and by the end of the trip was quite the fisher woman.

We did some trail riding and found this stuff called "snow"! We couldn't believe how much snow was still there. It was totally worth the trip.

The ridge was still packed with snow!

Another favorite pastime during camping is playing cards. We had plenty of time to play with all the rain we had.

Mom and Evan were teaching Lizzie the ropes of UNO.

Abby had a hard time adjusting to the whole camping thing not to mention getting sick. Nap time was really hard but after one long hard battle we found Abby asleep like this.

She totally fell asleep on a bag of dirty clothes. I think I could have fallen asleep anywhere too. It's nice to be home now where schedules are a little bit easier to follow.

Secret Blog, Secret Meme

I just posted something on my secret blog for those of you who would like to see something more about ummm Me.

Baby #4

We have a new addition to our household! We are now the proud "parents" of a gorgeous piano. I'm so excited I've wanted a piano for years and years and here it is now. I'm a little rusty but it's so nice to have our home filled with the sound of music. Unfortunately kids still need to be fed and diapers need to be changed so that's been cutting into my play time but still just to have it in our home is fantastic! We got a great deal on it and it's not only beautiful on the outside but it has a gorgeous tone to it. Anyhow we thought we'd share our joy with others. Maybe if I can get good enough we'll post a song or two from our beautiful new instrument.

It's a great dark mahogany but it looks different colors from different angles

It was well cared for in it's last home and it really shows

This is my new home.

Super shiny!!

Memories

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! (Andrea, Jeremy, Lizzie, Abby and or Will)

Keep in mind that our parents and grandparents read this blog!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories are out there!

6 Years ago today

Six years ago today Jeremy proposed to me in Cincinnati. I've been all through my boxes of stuff to try to find pictures of us when we got engaged and it was just now that I realized that we didn't take any pictures of us then. So I decided to post some pix from our dating year. Nuts and Crazy how fast time has flown by. Hooray for Love and Hooray for my best friend, who just happens to be my husband, Jeremy. Love you Honey!

This was our first "date" we'd been "hanging out" for a few weeks by this point and I'm pretty sure that neither one of us had any clue what was going to happen during that year.

A fantastic group date to some where for something I don't really remember but I do remember that Jeremy looked smoking hot in those aviator shades!

I was pretty sure I was going to marry Jeremy by this point. This was my attempt to subliminally brain wash him into marrying me.

Who doesn't look great in rock climbing harnesses? Jeremy smoked me pretty good on the wall this day.

We even look good squishy faced together.. It for sure was meant to be.

This was in the famous K-Mart photo booth in Logan the night before Jeremy left for Cincinnati. I had to make sure we took a picture in the booth because I just knew that we could make it a whole summer without each other if we had a photo strip chuck full of pictures of Jeremy kissing me.
