{cabin trip}

Remember the post about snowshoeing when I was 7 months pregnant? Well that fun cabin is where we spent the night last weekend. Joe and Camille were celebrating their recent graduation from BYU and...

their new little one who is on the way!! We couldn't be happier for them.

Camille's cute little sisters and her dad who couldn't get enough of Crew. Look how cute his outfit is!

The whole gang. We stayed up really late laughing our heads off and playing games... of course.

I couldn't resist a picture! Look at that cute cuddly baby. 

I was a little paranoid about the spiders getting Crew in the middle of the night. It didn't help that I found a HUGE one in this room just before we put him down. I heard him fussing in the middle of the night and thought, "Oh no! There's a huge spider on his face!" Then I calmed myself down and told myself I was being ridiculous. But he kept fussing so I flipped on the light only to find...

a cricket crawling on him!! I about peed my pants.

Big yawns!

This pictures cracks me up! Yes, I know we look lovely. But we took the picture and didn't realize till after that Crew was cheesing it for the camera. He is already quite the performer!

We love camping!

Weekend of the 24th

Crew & I going for a walk down at the park. I love having Neilson's grove so close to home! I'm excited to get the go-ahead from my doctor at my 6 week check up to start running again. I think Crew is going to love our morning runs as much as I will- he loves it outside.

The Walkers usually go camping to Albion Basin for the 24th. But this year, we just went up and picnicked and went on a little hike. It was beautiful with all the flowers in bloom! And a peaceful afternoon spent with family.

Welcome home uncle Madsen! I'm a little late but Madsen got back from the Dominican Republic a month ago. It's so nice to have him back and almost feels like he never left. When he left, Lance and I weren't even engaged and when he got back, little Crew was a week old! 

Aunt Trisha with a tired little baby.

Grandma Walker with her 3rd grandbaby. This little one is so lucky!

Our weekend also included a BBQ with the Merrell's for little Avonlea's 1st birthday and Saturday Lance and I painted the nursery. We are 3/4 the way finished and I can't wait to get it all put back together and decorated. It's going to be SO cute! Pictures to come.

camping

for the 24th of July, we headed out with the family for a two-night camping trip up Albian Basin. It was beautiful! All the flowers were in bloom so the entire mountain side was scattered with pink, yellow, purple, blue! We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We relaxed in the Walker hotel- (seriously! this tent is huge), hiked to Cecret (secret) lake, found some snow and an upside-down ski rack and went sledding, played Cranium, read our books, Lance played his guitar for us, we tried to catch some pot-guts, and made some yummy dutch-oven treats.

Cant go without some of this!

I love them.

Look at how green that lake is!

Our ski-rack-turned-sled. This hill is a lot more steep than it looks and I was scared at first! But Lance convinced me and it was so much fun! I wish I had a picture of us all but we even got Scott and Keaton to join us. What a blast.
