Our Recent Adventures

The weekend after our trip to LV, we decided to go up to our property for the day on Saturday. Since the trailer isn't quite in condition for us to do overnights (at least not for me & McKenna) we opted to just run up for the day. It's only a 2 hr drive each way, so not too bad. We stopped at Outdoor World on our way up, so that helped break up the trip a bit.

Stretching out on the trip up the mountain.


Ahhhhh.... it was a beautiful day up there.


Enjoying some lunch while up on the property.


I put on some music for our lunch and she was groovin' the whole time.


Really Mom? Sunglasses? lol She was less than thrilled and they quickly came off.


She was having so much fun looking at her reflection in the bumper of my truck.


Mom, you gotta try this!





Offering me the piece of wood she found.


Daddy working hard on making the trailer water tight. It's in serious need of some TLC.







We finally have enough hair to wear cute little bows!! I picked up two packs of new ones this past week. She looks so cute and like such a little girl... no longer a baby. *sniff sniff*




We should be getting started on McKenna's new room (I've decided NOT to call it a big girl room just yet) soon. Craig is making great progress on the new office. {The old current office is where McKenna will be moving into once the little guy arrives} I think I've mentioned it here, but just in case, he's building a separate structure behind the guest cottage to serve as the home office (mainly HIS office, since I really don't use the office much these days). Craig frequents a few forums that are centered around people building their own structures, primarily cabins, sheds, etc. A cute tradition {I guess you would call it that} they have is that when you complete the floor of your structure, you take a picture of yourself dancing a jig. lol

So here's my jig dancin' hubby.


He then gave the floor a nice coat of stain. He used a color called "coffee"... rather appropriate. There are two walls up since this photo. He's really doing a great job. I can't wait to see it all complete. I've already put in my order for the next structure. lol


Here is one of those walls!


McKenna & Koal having some play time while I was out taking some pics of Craig & the new structure.


Playing in her room. Monkey and a teddy bear from her Great Grandma.


Time Out chair?! This can't possibly be for me.


Oh great. She's figured out how to open her door.





Enjoying her very first frozen fruit-pop.


We decided to test out the pool last week. It was still a bit too cold though so McKenna wasn't thrilled with being in there. We made it a short dip. We've been back in once since then and it's already warming up. I'm looking forward to her enjoying her little floatie in the pool.

All ready to head outside.





Stopping to give Stella pets.






Dottie & Jay came to visit this weekend. We hadn't seen them since about a month or so before their trip to South Africa. They had some great & stories from their trip. It definitely made me want to visit South Africa one day. As usual, they brought some goodies for McKenna, and some adorable stuff for the little guy too.

McKenna got to try on her new beach cover-up right away. She thought it was great. :)





Some play time outside in tnd Daddy's shop towels. lol She had been carrying around a cooler before this, but I hadn't come out with my camera yet. Check out the hairdo.


Cutie pie.



Craig has been on call this weekend and got paged this morning to one of the local downtown hospitals. We decided to meet for breakfast after he was done. McKenna was great, as usual, and got so excited just by walking on her own (holding my hand, of course) from the restaurant to the car. I think she liked the way her shoes sounded/felt on the concrete. lol

I snapped some pics with my phone while we were at breakfast. She was moving around (and dancing) so much that most of them came out blurry, but I get such a kick out of all her faces that I figured I'd share them on here too.












Look at those curls! I love them.






I took some pics when we got home. This is one of the dresses that Grandma & Grandpa brought this weekend. Cute, huh?






Lastly, a recent belly pic. This was taken last Monday (22 weeks, 3 days), but they're the most recent ones I have. I wasn't looking so sparkly that day, so I opted to crop my face out of the photos. :-p







I found it kind of funny how, with my green shirt, I somewhat resemble the last stick figure in this little chart. lol
