Camping

We just went camping for the first time this year! We took the Ranger up Millville canyon. I'd never been up there. It was really pretty. We passed quite a few cows. Cowpies were 10 points if you hit them!!! This time we brought enough wood to last us all night. Casey actually ate a hotdog (he only has about 2 a year). We slept with our tarp off our tent so we could see the stars. Then we woke up to lots of wind and rain clouds. I was trying not to be a "debbie downer" and not pack up and go home and eat breakfast. Instead I started getting our propane cooker going for pancakes. Well needless to say, it started raining and it looked like it would only get worse. So we decided to hurry and pack up and go home. We had to drive the ranger home with the cold rain pelting our faces. We were soaked by the time we got home!! So the night of our campout was way more fun than the morning!

Runnin!

So this weekend was Casey's big run. He ran the Wasatch Back Relay race. I met him in Park City (after I hit all the outlet stores Wahoooo!!) after he had run. I don't have too many pictures of him running the race, but he said someone took some so maybe I can post those later. So Casey ended up running around 15 miles (13 miles more than I could have ran!!).Here's a before picture. His sweet sweat band he said came in handy!

He took a video of him running across the finish line with his team. (It's a little bumpy!)



All in all Casey did awesome!!! He was pretty sore and walked like Frankenstien for the first couple days! He says the worst part was his sunburn he got.

Well it was our first time in Park City. We decided to stay the night. Finding a place to park was a nightmare. But once we got parked we saw some awesome stuff on Main Street. I love Park City. Here are some pics but the ones of Main Street didn't do it justice.

This is Franz the Bear. He was just sitting there so we had to have a picture of him!

This is random isn't it!

Wow this is a long post but I have a lot to talk about! We went and rode the Alpine Slide. They had a coaster too but it was pricy and we didn't want to spend that.

Well that's our weekend in a nutshell!

We are finally finally approved!!!

It's been several long months of filling out paperwork for adoption and today we got APPROVED! I went on and looked our profile over. Hopefully it portrays us well! We've gotten almost everyone's address so we'll send some pass along cards with our information on it so if you run into someone who knows someone who's thinking about placing their baby for adoption you can pass one on. We were told that the pass along cards are how most people find their baby so if you would, we'd love your help in spreading the word and passing those cards out if you find the opportunity. Thanks for being willing to help us!!!

Curtains

Well I got a hankering for another crafty project. I found some material on sale at Hobby Lobby so I decided to make curtains! They're not perfect and sadly I think I hung the rod crooked!! I'm probably the only one that notices it but it's gonna drive me crazy until I can find a way to fix it. My pictures didn't turn out that great, I took the pictures on a rainy day so it's a little dark.


The curtains are a blue green color. It's hard to tell in the picture.
