baby showers and camping

:busy little bee:

I've been busy.

yes.

it's true.

my seester, brynn, is going to be having a new baby boy very very soon.

(this makes me smile from ear to ear)

brynn saw a dr. seuss baby shower awhile back and she thought it was the cats pajamas.

so, when we found out brynn was having a sweet baby boy, we thought the dr. seuss shower was perrr-fect!

I don't normally like cartoon looking parties...

BUT.

I have really enjoyed putting this shower together!

I wont go into great detail until after, but here is a pic of some of the things I've been making for it:

also,

brandon, ern doggy and I went to wayne county to see his family

and then camping to san rafael swell with his parents.

we left friday morning and went straight to the jackson home (faun jackson! she is a mighty great photographer! check her out!).

we love it there and had a great time with them!

brandon also got to spend time with is grandpa and grandma.

he doesn't get to see them much, since he is in the middle east so often.

grandpa took brandon out into his shop and showed him how to make wooden balls and spools.

(soon to appear in my etsy store)

grandpa's work is amazing.

I can't get over what this 90 year old man can do!

so awesome!

after a fun weekend, we left monday morning to san rafael swell.

this place is gorgeous!

so much history and beauty.

if you get the chance, go there!

tons of cool hikes and atv trails.

you won't be disappointed.

where we camped:

I wish I had a camera when we went on our 4-wheeler rides.

incredible!

the wild wild west was all around me.

...I couldn't help but hum the song from back to the future III...

na na naa na na... na naa na na

da na da na da na da naa da

you know the one.

the one during the town festival.

no?

ok.

well, you should learn it.

when I get pictures from the in-laws I'll post them.

big ern was turned red from all the dirt that blew up on him on the 4-wheeler ride.

he was no longer a westie.. but now a rusty.

until then.
