More Boating and Exciting News!

For the last 4 weekends or so we have been taking our boat out on different lakes and we've had so much fun! The picture below is of Landen "driving" the boat on Trinity Lake. We went there over Labor Day weekend and we enjoyed camping, seeing family and friends, and using the boat - but we definitely did not enjoy the weather! It was pretty crappy, windy and cold. We still had lots of fun and it's neat to be able to have our own boat and make our own memories.


Last weekend we were planning on going to Lake Shasta. We had never been there before and when we arrived we realized that everyone was right when they were saying that there was no water! It was lower than Trinity Lake. We ended up finding a campground and the camp host said that the low water spots aren't even marked in the lake. We decided the next morning to just go to Whiskeytown Lake instead. We really love that lake. We were able to find a cove so that Sandy could get out of the boat and play fetch in the water. She had so much fun- she played fetch for what felt like hours! It was great to be able to get out of the boat on shore and I can see us spending a lot more time at Whiskeytown Lake.

And now for the exciting news...... I'm pregnant! I'm not that far along, only 7 1/2 weeks, but we were able to see and hear the heartbeat on Monday! It was a relief for sure, and the doctor said everything looks fine, so that's great to hear. The due date is May 11th- it feels very far away but I know it will sneak up on us before we know it. We are really excited because we are so ready to be parents! I know it sounds crazy right now, but I am looking forward to every moment of being pregnant- I know it's not something you can take for granted, so I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can ;)

Well I hope to post more about the pregnancy as things progress...
