Camp Shelly

Oh my goodness!  I just spent the last hour working on this post of our super fun camping trip we went on and guess what?  My computer crashed and the post wasn't saved! Grrr, ain't nobody got time for that! :)  So, I really don't have time to redo so I will just let the pictures do the talking (I may add a few explanations here and there).  I will say that we had a wonderful time.  I hadn't been with my siblings in far too long (Kathryn I hadn't seen in over a year and a half!) so it was great to create memories all together.
















I guess I should write a quick word about these bears.  So, Erik, Anna, and I were on a little walk around the campsite.  I was tellling Erik about how afraid I was to jog by myself because of the bears and Erik said, "Oh look at that a bear."  Of course, I didn't believe him, but sure enough he was right!  I was quite nervous of course, but it was really cool!  Anna thought it was just a normal thing to happen while camping and she loved it!




Baby bear climbing a tree!  There were two cubs and a mama bear.  Erik said that in all of his time in the outdoors, he has never had a bear sighting, so he thought we were pretty dang lucky to have had this happen.

Checking out Baldwin beach and the cold waters of Lake Tahoe!




















Literally just pouring dirt on themselves haha







On Friday, we spend all day at Baldwin beach.  We had a lot of fun hanging out under some sunshade, canoeing and kayaking, and spashing around.  Jackson took a special liking to the canoe and spent more time paddling than on the land :)
























































































Checking out the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.  It's funny that at the exact state line a million casinos pop up :)   The weather when we there turned cold, so I actually wasn't having too great of a time.  I just wanted to get warm!!








Trying to stay before church on Sunday  morning.

Back in our dirty clothes and loving it! :)











Checking out breathtaking Emerald Bay!





























On Sunday evening, per Clements usual, we had a program :)  Everyone shared a scripture story or just scritpure verse about nature.  The Winsborrows started us off with a song.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

21 Weeks

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
