The Camping Trailer...

Here she is!
Our new home away from home!
A lovely addition to our compound.

After several years of camping out in tents, we have finally taken the plunge! Say hello to our 2000 Komfort Travel Trailer.

She is as 25 Foot Long Bunkhouse...plenty of room for our boys and their stuff.

The front part of the trailer is the master bedroom, presenting a very cozy queen bed.

The bump out dinette area.

Levi and Wyatt loving the table, they have made big plans to play Uno here.

The bunkbeds!

The kitchen area...we have an oven, microwave, fridge, and HOT WATER!!!!

The bathroom is at the end, near the bunkbeds.

Sally making use of the sweet couch.
We are so excited to start our new chapter in the old camping book. We are in the process of planning a few local trips. Hopefully next year we will be off to visit Wyoming -- home of Thomas & Aubree.

We also can't wait for the annual trip with the Wilson clan...we are so thankful that they include the Sapp clan in their camping weekend. We love hanging out with all of them & watching all the kids grow together.

Now for a name....any suggestions?

Happy Camping!

Busy, Busy, Busy...and a getaway

It seems that lately all I have time for is a monthly update. I can't wait for spring and summer, when the longer days allow me more time & energy to do more.

I am teaching 2 mornings a week at the Y, working out the other 3 mornings, then taking care of the kids and house, cooking, being sick, working...it never ends.

I am desperately awaiting my results of the Group Fitness Certification test that I took on February 20th. 4-6 weeks is a LONG time!

My husband and I have been working on getting a very specific travel trailer...it is hard for us to spend money, so it has to be perfect...which won't happen. Hopefully we will get what we want with in a reasonable price sometime before summer ends!

I also have been battling a mysterious ailment that caused excessive acid in my stomach & burning of my esophagus. Not fun & very scary. Still waiting on what caused this wonderful illness, and working through the discomfort.

Tomorrow I get to have the girls over for a Lia Sophia party. We will get to indulge in brownies, wine, and shiny stuff!

The boys are well, they continue to grow & doing silly things:

Duncan and I are trying to be more caring towards each other, and have come to realize after all these years, that time together is very important. We took an opportunity to get away, with just us and Thomas and Aubree. We headed off to Leavenworth.

I had never been. It is such a cute town & we had such a good time. The quite was amazing! We actually got to sit and watch a WHOLE program on the history channel...without interruptions!

The town still had its Christmas lights up, it was so beautiful! 
















Having a drink at the original Tumwater Inn!

















It was a great trip, and we came home to our boys - happier and calmer parents.

















Now, hopefully I can be a little more consistent with my blogging.

Here is to a happy spring!
