Our family is growing... (by ten little toes!)

That's right, baby #2 is on the way!!

The day before we took Brinley to the Hospital I took a pregnancy test that came up negative, we were so hoping to be pregnant that It was definitely a disappointment. A week later I took another one just sure (Hoping) that the first was a mistake & couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the 2 little lines appear!! after 3 more tests (all of which were positive) it was confirmed, we were having another baby!!! Although my first trimesters of pregnancy are very hard and I've already been pretty sick, we are just so excited!!

Co-Op Valley



We spent last weekend Camping & 4 Wheeling in Co-op Valley with Shane's family & had so much fun!! It was our first overnight outing since we found out Brinley had Diabetes, so needless to say I was a little worried about how it would go over. We brought tons of sugar-free snacks and her blood sugar stayed in a good range all weekend! This trip helped us see that we can still live our "normal" active lives (just with a few more bags, and a few more precautions)!!


Brinley and her cousin Mattie spent the entire weekend side by side. They are so cute together!!


The Hughes Boys!
Me & the girls watching a movie in the Camper (We were really "roughing it", I know)!!

Fun with the Cousins...

Our Fearless Brinley actually WANTED to go down the Zip Line like all the big kids!! I wasn't crazy about the idea, but felt a little better since Shane ran with her, holding the rope the whole way! She loved every minute of it!!! She really has no fear (which of course scares me to death)!!



We had a great time, & there is something so Peaceful about being in the Mountains I just love it... but only for so long, One of the highlights for me was being able to come home & take a Shower!! It definitely makes me grateful for modern day luxuries!
