7 years of marriage

finally got a husband wife shot, but then we couldn't leave kona out. . . 

kona wanted a kiss too 

(don't worry, we washed her good to get all the moose poop out)

sitting around the campfire (that may or may not have been banned, we still aren't sure) you have a lot of time to talk.  so of course we talked about baby names (always an epic failure), fixing up the future house, parenting skills we are lacking, why did kona have to chase off the moose. . . ya know, deep conversation stuff. sometimes there are long lulls in the conversation, but we're okay with that. 

the husband all of a sudden says 

"the next 20 years are going to be ridiculous."

it's so true. 

with babe(s) coming, moving, fixing up the new old house, trying to balance home life with mama life, living on one income, we have LOTS of big changes coming our way.  but it's good, we're excited for the new life.  life has been fun with just three of us for the last seven years, but we've always felt somewhat stagnant, like we were missing something more . . . so here's to our little family, that hopefully will be come 5 soon!

 

happy 7 years love, i'm excited for the rest!

lego nazi's are real in campers

even though the bunting says "husband and wife" that usually means the husband and the kona

sometimes, husbands get tired of pictures.

camping naps are good for tired husbands and dogs

bunting is possible while camping 

(finish product coming soon)

fact: my husband is a lego nazi

things you didn't know about lego nazis

1. you need to offset all bricks when making a house, otherwise you have failed structure wise

2. bricks need to be all the same color

3. if you have to make a mutli-colored roof and HAVE to use a smile face yellow lego, it's a sad, sad day.

4.  you are not allowed to bite the legos to take apart, it causes teeth marks and that's a big no-no.

its a good thing we weren't lego friends as kids

campers delight

tinfoil dinners need to happen more often

hiking may or may not be much harder when 30 weeks pregnant

turn off vehicle lights while fishing

jumper cables would be nice if vehicle is dead because of lights

pretty sure rv's are meant to go over 20 mph

tree coverage is important while doing business

don't squeeze the fish too tight, but if you do, sometimes they live

i really do have a thing for dead trees

camping continued

more tips and thoughts

getting lost on the mountain is okay when you end at a private lake

even better when the private lake has a salamander/newt colony (still to be determined)

kill all the mosquitos, Jurassic park is fake

dead trees are still pretty

sometimes, dogs ruin everything, but yet we still like her

overalls still work at 30 weeks pregnant

gps' are not as good as paper maps, but make do if no paper map.

2.5 miles of rocky roads is not always worth looking at a pond.  research people, is key

anniversary camping style

went camping for our 7th anniversary in the high uinta's

tips brought to you by harmony and derek

baby wipes are best

generator campers suck (no offense)

reservations are a good idea

don't let your dog roll in moose poop. . . twice

always keep plastic bags handy (look up broken tail syndrome)

ponderosa trees smell like butterscotch, not vanilla
