Crescent Lake 2014

It wouldn't be summer without the annual Prescott camping trip at Crescent Lake!

Pros: I wasn't nine months pregnant and we had our 'Love Trailer'
Cons: It rained and Easton got pink eye
Click 'more' for the skinny on our trip and some pictures.

Pro #1 The Love Trailer



 Cody is a sprinter. I enjoy long, slow jogs. Cody watches movies. I read books. Cody asks for a back scratch. I ask for back tickles. 
We were searching for a new hobby that we both enjoy doing-together. Introducing our Love Trailer! The phrase, 'great things come in small packages' does, in fact, pertain to this cozy two-wheeled beauty. 

 After pulling this gem out of the briers, Team Prescott (Cody and I) gut her out and pressure washed off the moss, (surprise, it's white!). My gifted and creative husband applied his carpentry skills and built the interior storage compartments, put in a structural frame for the fiberglass top that had caved in, and in-placed a system to interchange a table for a queen-size bed, all of which can fit in the storage. During this time, I  painted the interior and sewed custom curtains and cushion covers. We topped her off with new windows, tires, brake lights, and hitch. 

 Vuwahla! I present to you, the 2014, top of the line, new and improved, oh so luxurious: Love Trailer. 










Sweet success! 

Pro #2 The Sunny First Day!



 Pretty self-explanatory, the first day was awesomely sunny and everyone played it up.











































Con #1 The Rain Comes



Everyday past the first, it was cold and wet. We however, made the best of the unfortunately soggy situation. That is, from the inside of Jessica's much larger and heated trailer. 
















Con #2 Easton's Pinkeye 


Not long into our stay, my beautiful baby boy came down with what we assume was the viral form of pinkeye. Poor guy had it rough. 

*Note: I had read that breast milk has antibiotic properties. Since there were few doctors out in the boonies, I went ahead and applied (squirted) breast milk to his swollen eyes. It did in fact work!


To end on a good note, I leave you with 

Pro #3 I wasn't nine months pregnant!




And there you have it! 
A soggier trip then expected, yet we overcame! 
Because we are

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church  for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family,  Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our  apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out!  Loe and behold, our twin gir...
