Busy Busy

We've had so much rain here lately that this last weekend we were in desperate need to get out of the house. And that we did!

Saturday morning I got up early and went on a 5k walk with my mom that our church was doing just to get people thinking more positive about their health. It felt so good to get some exercise and just enjoy the beautiful weather, finally! Although that afternoon it got a little chilly. We still met up with some of Gary's family for a BBQ. His sister Alecia got leave from the Military for the weekend and surprised some of the family. So they had a nice little get together.

Sunday was probably the nicest day we have had in a long time. Gary, Brayden and I went to Mesa Trail head and did some hiking around for a bit and then drove over to Evergreen and did some more sightseeing. It was nice to get out and do some hiking and just enjoy the beautiful weather we were having.

Monday we spent the day with my mom and Jerry. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast, visited cemetery's and put flowers up on some of our family sites. Then we went to the Museum and saw the Pirates Exhibit. It was very interesting and fun!

I originally wanted a quiet relaxing weekend and it ended up being quite busy. But I enjoyed every minute!

Catchin up on pictures...

Yes.. I am just now catching up. We have been so busy lately and Brayden caught the flu last week... so I am now catching up on the goods.

Mother's Day-
I had a really great Mother's Day. My husband took me to movie that morning. We saw "Something Borrowed". LOVED IT! Thought it was so cute. And then that afternoon my family and I went over to my Brother-n-laws sisters house for dinner. It was so yummy and so relaxing. We walked to a park so Brayden could play for awhile. It was so beautiful outside and just a very enjoyable day!

I love being a mom. I always wanted to have kids and knew I would like being a mother. I just didn't know I would enjoy it as much as I do AND fall in love this much with it.

I feel so lucky. Most kids I knew growing up that had to go through divorce in their family always seemed to have such a hard time. But I always felt so lucky I got 2 moms out of the deal. 2 moms growing up who showed me so much love and support. They showed me how to be a great mom. They showed me how to be a parent first with my children but that you can also be the best of friends. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I love both of them so much and I am so grateful for all they have done for me.

I am talking as if this is all in the past. They still continue to show me this love and support and now I am more grateful than ever for our friendship that we have built over the years! So THANK YOU! And I love you both!!!

Camping-

Yes, we have gone on our first camping trip this season! We had so much fun. EVEN THOUGH... I told Gary last year before this season started, 'I will never go again before Memorial Day Weekend because it's just to cold'. Yeah I caved. We only went up for 1 night to Carter Lake. And YES it was cold. Actually Saturday when we got up there it wasn't too bad. Bundled up in jackets and hung out by the campfire. We luckily have heat in our camper so during the night we always stay toasty warm! Rained all night so we woke up to puddles all around and Brrr cold in the morning. Glad it was only for one night. No matter the weather though, Brayden wanted to be out in the open air and playing. I didn't get to take many pictures because my fingers were froze so here are the few I got.
