Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day weekend camping in N. Carolina. We thought it would be fun to take Piper out to give it a try and it was. She loved it. She got to play on the "beach" all day with the other kids (which she though was heaven), ride a paddle boat with her dad, eat smores (actually she didn't like them!), cook by the fire, and sleep in a tent. She's STILL talking about sleeping in a tent. Curtis and I had fun although I think Curtis liked it a little more than I did - I think I bring bad weather with me when I camp. I have yet to have a good weather camping experience (minus NV). Last time we went in UT there was snow on the ground and I didn't sleep a wink because of the cold. This time it rained the whole weekend! So we were pretty wet. I was done with it by monday and ready for my dry bed at home! Anyway we had lots of fun and we're glad we got to go! Here's a pic of Curtis going down sliding rock. The water was FEEZING!!! He did it a couple times and loved it. I tried it once but once I saw the picture Curtis took of me (in my swim suit all fat and pregnant) I decided I would put my shirt back on and never put a swim suit on for the rest of my LIFE! It was fun though and I'm glad I did it - don't think the little baby liked it too much, I think the cold got all the way to her!

A busy April

Wow! I'm just realizing how busy a month April has been!! There has been so much going on in the fam!! New baby Wayatt was born - hooray! We can't wait to see him (who knows when though:( John graduated - congratulations John! We have a lot picked out for you next door. And lots of birthdays- Piper's and Curtis'!! Happy birthday! Curtis' birthday was thursday so we got to have presents and cake AGAIN! How fun! Piper was about jumping out of her skin when she saw the presents for daddy. I kindda felt bad that what he opened was so boring to her. Oh well, she benefited from her present to dad. Piper got Curtis a family set of camping chairs for our upcoming camping trip. She LOVES her green dragon? chair and can't WAIT to try it out at the camp site.

Saturday we decided to enjoy the awesome weather at the beach. It was Way fun but WAY windy. Piper loved it though! Curtis and I decided on a new hobby we need to take up - wind surfing! It looked SOOOOOOOOOOO fun! So we'll have to see about getting into that! Here's a picture of my LOVELY belly. I know - i'm a COW ! This is the only picture that will ever be posted of me pregnant for the rest of this pregnancy and probably any other for that matter but I had to show off my new swim suit! I NEVER thought in a million years i would buy a maturnity swim suit because HELLO I would NEVER put on a swim suit while pregnant BUT... The timing didn't work out quite right with this pregnacy so I HAD to get one if to survive the upcoming summer. Luckily I found one! Let me tell you I was worried for a while there - the suits I was finding were pretty rough! Anyway, that's all the fun we've been up to. Happy April!
