Summer Lovin'...

Camping this year was SO MUCH FUN...I wish I could just put every picture up that we took...but then, well, I just took way too many!  Within the first five minutes of camping our youngest looked like this...

The second we got him out of the car, he was running, and really falling...a....LOT...!!  Not that it stopped him either...he had so much energy!  In fact, he WOULDN'T sleep the first night...he cried, and cried, and cried...I laid with him for an hour, then Brian gave it a try, then we thought..lets take him for a drive...We drove for over an hour, nothing.  Then we tried putting him in the back of Brian's parent's SUV.  We thought....hey, that is the closest thing to a pack'n'play, so we set him all up in there.  HE SCREAMED.  Finally at around 1 or 2 in the morning we gave up, put him back in our bed, and let him scream himself to sleep...we were just OUT OF IDEAS...and energy...

Luckily, the sun came up again, and he seemed to be a different baby.  He never slept "great"...but he slept enough!!  And we were able to enjoy our week...

Brian got some serious air...

Some of the crazies we camped with!! (who we love)

Blazer does this funny thing where he runs full force into Parker for a hug...I just LOVE seeing it!!

Parker and his toad...Grandma & Papa really make the trip FUN!!!

So do a few weird friends!!!!!

And there's nothing like some passed out kids....

So angelic...and DIRTY!!! WOW...

(seriously, you have to click on this to see REALLY how dirty this child is!!!)

and the best part is...

Everything starts and ends with a campfire...

BUT...you have to be careful when you take walks on the beach at night, you could become pregnant like me...

We're loosing her...!!!

Okay, so hopefully you haven't all lost interest in our family by now!! I know I haven't exactly posted ANYTHING in the last....wow...I don't even know when I posted last...dang!!

Well, it isn't that I have fallen away from blogland...it is that I have fallen into a different world....pregnancy land!!!

Yep, we are expecting numero 5!!!

(I'll give you a moment to regroup)

Well, I am happy, really, once I get out of my fog of extreme nausea & fatigue...I mean, my poor couch has seen so much of me it probably wishes it were a different piece of furniture by now, and I really couldn't tell you for sure whether I have met the shower quota for a normal person in the last several weeks...BUT

What I can tell you is that I am alive. I will get past this...and I will be bloggin' my little heart out before we know it...and if I stop telling myself that then I might not get past the next bout of puking.....SOOOO hang in there, and we will be back before you know it...!!
