Missing St. George!

This last weekend we got to go visit Noni and Yia Yia down in St. George. They have been camping out in their new trailer they bought when they retired. It was such a fun trip but went by way too quick. I realized a couple things though I am not sure if they will ever happen. First, I would like Jake to retire in the next couple of years so we can have lots more time together. (yeah, I know that one will never happen). The second was how much I truly love being in southern Utah. I really want to live there. The only thing holding me back is missing family and friends that I get to see all the time right now. We mainly just hung around camp, swimming, playing at the park and going for walks. We also went to a small ghost town and then to Zion's National Park. This is our favorite park to visit in Utah, it is always so beautiful. Hopefully we can get away again soon, it was so wonderful that it has been sort of depressing to come back to normal life this week.

Kambree got her official new hair cut from Cookie Cutters. Thankfully my friend Denae came and helped make it look better. She looked a bit like Floyd off of Dumb and Dumber.

 Lounging around.

This was at the small little Ghost Town that we went to.

 The old school house/ church.

 They had this neat little cemetery. It was sad to read about how some families lost several children and parents from Scarlet Fever and other illnesses. Also, there was a family that was all scalped by Indians.

Our trip to Zion's. We went to Weeping Rock. It was so neat to see all the waterfalls this time of year before they dry up.

 Kambree loved it she kept saying, "Wow, Waterfall!"

Her favorite thing was just sitting by the stream throwing rocks.

Jake loved it just as much as her. :)

21 day challenge

Thanks to my great friend Shyla I had a little help getting motivated to finish the challenge I started. She wasn't sure if she was going to do it with me and then all the sudden she was caught up to how far I was. I couldn't let her pass me up :) So I have finished in the last couple of weeks and I feel super tired now. I made it a goal that I could order my baby bedding when I was finished and it should be here any day now! I honestly feel like I may be nesting even though I am only 23 weeks. I for some reason am now addicted and have been making new lists of things I want to do to make our house feel even better. Here are the many before and after pictures, I think I didn't take a few but I am almost embarrassed to show you how bad some of my closets and drawers looked. Please don't judge me!

 Pantry

Dresser Drawers

 My messy sock drawer

 Kambree liked helping with this one.

Kitchen and bathroom sinks

 Jake did this one for me :)

 Gross our bathroom drawers were so unorganized, I bought a lot of bins for them.

Laundry room

 Coat Closet

 cook books and medicine cabinet, a complete mess!

 Now nice and clean!

I cleaned out our game hutch Kambree had gotten into and pulled all the cards out .

 Really??? Do I need this many plastic bags?

 Our Freezer was disgusting, it felt so good to wash it all down and get rid of all the freezer burn.

 What on earth? Art supplies about ready to fall over.

 Much better!

 Our closet, I love how Jake claims that he wears all these clothes. I got rid of a few that I haven't seen in awhile.

 Kambree's closet that use to be a junk closet. We spent 90 minutes shredding old bills!

We still have a few more things to put in from her old room. 

And as I was updating the blog my baby bedding arrived! Kambree has already opened it and claimed it as her little hideout right now.
