Three little Pigs

I am not one of those happy glowy pregnant persons and newborns scare that crap out of me! So to many it is no surprise that Adi is our last baby. I have not once thought about how sad it is that I will never experience this again, in fact I look forward to every day that Adi (and Gar) grow and hit new milestones. Until last week........It hit me like a ton of bricks. I went to pick Adi up from daycare and the cute girls had put her hair into 3 piggers (pigtails).
So Dang Freaking Cute!!
I'm not sad that I will never experience those things again but I'm sad that time is flying by so quickly! She is not my newborn baby anymore.....she is almost a toddler

Strawberry

This past weekend was our Annual trip to Strawberry Reservoir and we had a blast! We were all so excited to use the new trailer that we weren't going to let the crappy weather stop us from going. Many phone calls to my Dad later we had the trailer loaded up on Friday and we were ready to go. We met my brother and his family on the freeway around Lehi and headed up Provo Canyon (we might have missed our exit because we were distracted by some dumb girl driving in the carpool lane while a cop was flashing his lights and siren trying to get her to pull over and she wouldn't get over because she didn't want to cross the solid line.....DUH!).

The weather wasn't that bad when we got there so we were able to have a fire for a little bit and than the winds picked up.

The next day was cold, windy and rainy. We had to spend most of our time in the trailer so we played a little Gin Rummy. About mid afternoon the sun poked out so we hurried and loaded up and went Crawdad fishing for the boil that night.

Adi is strapped in so she'll stay out of mischief! We are in so much trouble when this little one can walk, she is a busy little girl!
Aunt Carey taught Gar how to peel potatoes and he spent a good hour or two just peeling one after another. He loved it!
Our Redneck feast..........Delicious!
We can't wait to go again next year! Hopefully the Bartholomew's can fit us into their busy schedule next year, you were missed!

*Thanks Tom for all your tutorials! You would think with all the trailers we had growing up I would know a thing or two but sadly all I know is how to check the "damn bubble" to make sure we are level.*

KSL OCD

For the past 4 years we have been going up to Strawberry Reservoir with the Milne's (Tom, Carey, Jake and Mylee) and the Bartholomew's (Doug, Sue, Alex and Ella) for our Annual Crawdad Boil. And every year I complain that I don't do tents! Sean has finally agreed to shut me up and get us a trailer.....but he has certain terms. I immediately jumped on this before he decided not to hand over the money. One of his terms was NO DEALERS!! so I jumped on KSLclassifieds. I quickly decided that I didn't have a clue what I was looking for so I asked my Dad for help. We took a Saturday and went to a few local dealers (gasp!) just so he could show me whats good and whats not. I quickly figured out what I liked and what would work for the family. I jumped back onto KSL armed with knowledge.......and for the past 2 weeks I have done nothing but refresh my browser (have I ever mentioned that I "Heart" my iPhone!!) looking for the perfect little beauty to come along. We finally found it last Friday and picked it up today. Now I have 2 days to study that Owners Manual before our maiden voyage on Friday.......than I'm not sure what I'm going to obsess over next, definitely something that doesn't put as big a dent in my checkbook!



Have you people ever been on KSL Classifieds? It is just a treasure trove of items from places in Utah that I have never heard of before.......and there are some people out there with a true obsession with this site! So many times I would see an item that would post say 5 minutes ago and there were already 30 page views. And one of those people was me and I must admit that since Friday I have logged in just to see if another trailer has posted that I am missing out on, so I am washing my hands of this site! At least until I need to find my next great deal.......
