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...

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...

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!
