Fun while it lasted

Trent loves camping and has been wanting to go for the last 7 years that we have been married. For some reason, I finally gave in (probably because we are going to a Campbell family camping reunion in August and I needed to practice). Anyways, we had a great time and the kids loved it....until bedtime. Bailey finally went to sleep around 11 and Nick was even harder. He only wanted to be in his own bed. I finally got him to sleep, only for him to wake up SCREAMING about an hour later. There was nothing I could do to calm him down...bottle, rocking him, standing up...nothing. And he was so LOUD that I felt as if we were waking up everyone! So, at 1:00am we left our tent and belongings behind and drove a few hours and got home around 3 am. Trent went back this morning to get all our stuff. Lesson learned- DO NOT CAMP WITH A BABY! I think that I will be finding a hotel in the area of the family reunion.


We started out our fun day with a picnic lunch at Lucky Peak where Bailey put her feet in the sand.

YMCA

A few months ago, Trent and I decided to join the YMCA. They are fantastic! They have every class imagineable, a few huge pools, a kiddie pool area complete with waterslides and a lazy river, and the best thing they offer is... childcare! Yes, they watch your kids up to 2 hours while you work out! Score! We have been taking advantage of the cardio and the pool, but I need to take a few classes. They do have a family Zumba that I went to last Satuday and had a blast. They also have a Zumba gold for older people that I am trying to get my mom to go to! Anyways, if you are near a YMCA, you'll have to check it out!

Here's a picture of the pool and waterslides that Bailey and Nick love!

Scotty!!!

Did anyone else love the American Idol Finale? I thought that it was so much fun (except for LAdy gaga who makes me want to hurl)A friend if mine had an American Idol party at her house so we watched it with a bunch of friends and had a great time. And...it doesn't hurt that Scotty won since I've been voting for him since the beginning- although Lauren is a cutie too!

long hair

One of my friends here in Idaho can't imagine me with long hair and wanted to see some pictures. So, I took a trip down memory lane and found these bad boys! It's been a long time since my hair has been past my shoulders!

Mod Podge

Mod Podge is super popular here in Idaho. Everyone uses it on almost EVERY craft project, so I decided that I would redo Bailey's nightstand with this white gooey stuff and some cute scrapbook paper. Another goal for Celestial University done, and a cute piece of furniture for Bailey!

Celestial University

Our ward Relief Society started the Celetial University program last fall. It is basically a goal program where you choose a major (mine is Interior design) and you have to complete a certain amount of goals per each topic. One of the goals is to make a flower arrangement and use it as a centerpiece. I had a few ladies over and we had fun working on this goal together...

We had a great time and will hopefully all graduate this fall from the Celestial University.

The Final 3 on American Idol

Ok, so I am a little obsessed over American Idol, but is anyone else SUPER dissappointed that James was kicked off? I must admit that I am a Scottie and Lauren fan, but I knew that James was really good and thought that he was going to be the next winner. But,to my dismay, Hailey somehow got through again. I was so dissappointed and wish that I had voted for James...he really did deserve to win...or at least be in the top 3!

Here are the 3 that should have gotten through...



Super cute and her voice reminds me a little of Carrie Underwood


All my votes are now going to this cowboy!
