Camping in Idaho City

The summer is almost over and we had not gone camping yet. I convinced Justin we should go somewhere close so we drove up to Idaho City and camped at Greyback Gulch. It started off pretty good- roasted hot dogs, smores, the usual. Then bedtime hit. I figured Wes wouldn't sleep great, but that kid did not sleep at all!! He woke up every half hour, which meant not only him, but the rest of the camp too. Poor little Maddie slept through most of it but then by 3am she was up too, saying "mom, when we get home, we'll paint our toenails pink!" Funny what kids think about at 3am. We were all glad when morning hit, although it was freezing and Wes, at 8am and after about 2-3 hours of sleep, was ready to go explore. He dragged us all out of bed, much to our dismay. Well, we got our fill of camping for the year, that is certain. Crazy house, huh? It is actually someone's residence in Idaho City.

I'm a Girl!

I thought the ultrasound photo of the head would be more appropriate than, well, you know. We are sooo excited! Maddie was not surprised at all- the doctor whispered in her ear and then Maddie made the announcement. She said "it's a little sister". It was really cute. So now I need to dust off Maddie's boxes of clothes and see what's wearable! SO congratulations aunts and uncles and grandmas and grandpas!

New Kitchen- sort of

Wes found a place he can call his own (ie-nobody else can fit in there!) We (or should it be "I"; poor Justin gets suckered into this stuff. I think every man in America curses HGTV) have started the arduous task of painting our worn down oak kitchen cabinets. Me being pregnant and having two little people, this is a VERY slow project.
