Prescott Camping 2013

Crescent Lake or Bust Baby!





Each year our family takes a week camping trip to Crescent Lake. It is the highlight of our summer! This year was no different. We enjoyed time with loved ones, relaxed, swam, paintballed, golfed, paddle boarded and of course ate way too many s'mores! Take a look!



 The beginning of the week was a wee bit chilly. Eventually the weather improved, but only after a day of thunder and lightning storms-with a side of marble sized hail! Everyone blitzed to tie our things down and make dry shelter with tarps, but once the hail arrived the majority of our camp found their way to Jessica's trailer. 





And when the sun came out the true fun began!

Miss Aubry enjoyed her first camping trip!

Calvin on the other hand did not enjoy camping. He stood at the door of the tent only to take breaks to bark at people. At night we wrapped him up in a towel and he stayed bundled until we forced him out of the tent in the morning. By the end of the week he was limping because he feet were too tender. What a city dog!

Paddle Boarding
Father-Son bonding











Homemade Rope Swing

Which soon became a challenge to swing around the tree and over the slack-line











The first one to make it across but the only one to receive a black eye


And then it became a challenge of who could climb to the top fastest...













Beach Golf

Pregnant Scuba-ing

Straight Ballers...Paintballers 




Hammock...amazingly no one cracked their skull. 



And what we all really came for...S'mores!!!


Parts of this year that I hope to remember are:

  • The girls catching frogs and "loving" them to death
  • Playing beach volleyball and having the other camp watch
  • Beating the other camp at volleyball
  • HUGE hail!
  • Kims roticery marshmellow maker
  • Watching Derek's form while climbing the rope swing
  • Learning to play Dutch Blitz
  • Karilee letting me wakeboard!

    Wishing I was a Prescott. Paddle boarding looks so fun, and loved the father-son bonding!

God Speaks Through Skinny Fingers

When I had Easton, I think he zapped such a large amount of calcium from my bones that my fingers shrunk. I have no medical knowledge to support this claim, but for whatever reason, all ten digits are significantly more slim. While I have no objection to daintier, more feminine hands, it does pose one problem: my wedding ring no longer fits. For awhile I tried wearing it regardless; but the first time I enthusiastically told a story, using my hands to talk, that circular symbol of unity went soaring. Cody inspected the situation and concluded that, yep, he would need to take it to get re-sized. He planned to visit the jeweler in Portland right away. I set my beautiful sparkly band, so familiar to my left ring finger, in it's little box for safe keeping. 'He won't be gone long,' I comforted my now naked ,tan-lined finger. Eight months later.... Not wearing my wedding ring wasn't doing it for me. First off, I got hit on several times by some creep...

PREGNANCY 101

Easton Alden Prescott We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first son, Easton, for the past eight months. This adventure has been wonderful and exciting from the get-go! Here is a little synapses of our journey! My favorite part, so far, was telling Cody that he was going to be a Daddy-o. With some help from Robbie, I had him convinced that we were all going to the park to take some goofy pictures. Below are pictures of what he really found at our destination.  I found a GREAT song for breaking the news to family or friends in a special way. While Cody opened the ring box,  I played this in the background .  When the message got across, Cody started to tear up, causing his eyes to become hidden behind to lenses of fog.-Adorable!  ______________________________________________________ During the first couple of weeks there was little physical change happening. We spent our time getting used to th...
