Scofield

A few weekends ago we were able to get our trailor ready and take it to Scofield for the season! Yay! With our spot finally leveled out the way we need it, the trailor sits perfectly! I absolutely love it! It is so nice to be able to get away from everything for a day or two. It's been quite different this year with Jake being home and always having a bunch of friends down there! Usually it's the married couples who just bum around in peace. I feel old when I see the non-stop energy they have...but I'll blame it on the pregnancy! Here are some pictures of us getting the Prowler into position.

TaDa!!


We also went down Memorial Day weekend where Zac and I forgot the keys to the trailor...oopsy. Luckily we were able to break into a window that hadn't been locked and they hoisted Brant up and through the window! So the whole weekend we were very careful to make sure and keep the door open while eveyone was out of the trailor. On Sunday a handful of the boys had the opportunity to speak in sacrament at the Scofield branch. They all did such a good job! Gordy opened and introduced everyone. Then Zac, Jake, Chase, and Trevor all spoke on the first discussion. It was a lot of fun to hear them speak! I even shed a few tears they did so well. Then during church we had discovered that someone (Linds) shut the door behind them locking us all out again! We were all hoping that the window wasn't shut all the way and luckily it wasn't! So Brant once more climbed through the window and we were able to get in! There's never a dull moment down in Scofield!

30 weeks along...9.5 and counting

Well we had a doctor's appointment last week and he said everything is going great! I have been getting crampy every now and then which he said is normal. He said I'll be feeling the braxton hicks contractions more and more. But wow are those cramps a reminder of how close we are getting! My uterus is the size it should be and he also checked her position. The last time he checked she was breech but luckily she has turned to the correct position! Her head is using my bladder as a pillow and her back is usually to my right. I figured that is probably the reason it is more comfortable for me to sleep on my right side. So that leaves her arms and legs to my left where she can kick and punch all day! No wonder my left side is tender! I get tired a lot quicker than I usually do and have to use the restroom even more than before. A couple of weeks ago I was able to work 7 hours and feel alright by the end of the shift, but now after 4 hours of working I'm ready to call it quits! We'll see how long I can last. It's amazing how quickly my body changes with her growth! Here is a picture of my big belly at the pool for everyone to enjoy!

Happy Birthday to my hubby!

For Zac's 24th birthday on Saturday him, Brant, Jake, Scotty, Robbie, and Chase all went to Scofield for the morning and afternoon. Sherry and Gordy had gone down the day before and sadly the Ford got stuck in the mud...so the Big Red Dodge had to come pull Gordo out! :) It sounded like they had an amazing time sliding all over the place in the mud and eating a great lunch that Sherry prepared I'm sure! When they finally got home at 4:30 Zac showered and we met up with Brant and Lindsay to see the new XMen show. It was really good and now I have to watch the other ones because I don't remember them! After the movie we made our way to Rock Creek Pizza where Kelli, Shay and Brendon met us! We ended the night by going to the Campbell's for some cupcakes that I made and we sang happy birthday!

Here are a few things to know about the love of my life:

He is a major sports fanatic. He always wears a jersey every chance he gets, and probably has more of them than I do clothing. He loves and will always will love the Miami Dolphins, for life. Zac plays in a few leagues and is so competitive. I love to watch him play!

He knows how to make me laugh even when I'm mad at him. He pulls the funniest faces and is really unpredictable. He says and does some of the most random things and I can't help but laugh with him. He is such a geek and I love him SO much!

Zac is one who sets his mind to something and doesn't want anyone to tell him how to do it (well except from maybe Grandpa Campbell and the soon to be Grandpa Gordo). He loves to do outdoorsy things and work with the fourwheelers. He is such a great help and you can always count on him to be there for you!

He loves washing his truck. He takes care of that thing more than our other two cars. He loves pulling our trailor and his parents fourwheelers. If he could, and sometimes he does, he would be down in Scofield with the fourwheelers every weekend.

He also loves to hunt. He has so many hobbies I can't keep up with him. There is no way I would ever wake up at 4 in the morning to hike a mountain and sit there for a couple hours for the deer to come out. Now that is dedication.

Last but not least, he is such a hard worker. Even on vacation he takes phone calls and manages to have someone put in an order. He does so much for our little family and he is such a great provider.

I just want to say Happy Birthday to Zac and remind him that I have the best husband in the world. He makes me so incredibly happy and I always have so much fun with him. He is my best friend. I don't know how I got so lucky to find a guy like him because he is everything I have ever wanted in a husband and much more. I can't believe we are starting a family in a short 3 months he is going to be such a fun and loving dad! I know we will be able to do anything and get through anything in our lives because of his strength! I'm so grateful that we were able to be married and sealed to eachother in the temple for all time and eternity! I couldn't have asked for a better person to share my life with.

I love you babe!
Happy Birthday!

Hawaii

Well we are back from our amazing vacation! It's bitter sweet to be home, I was ready to come back to our life but once we got home I wanted to go back. We had such a great time! This year it was us, Afs, Tyler, and my parents that went to Maui. Here are a few things that we did.
We snorkeled:

Ate:

This is near our hotel called Hula Grill

Played in the pool:

Saw an old lava flow:

Drove up Haleakala crater:

Here's a sign posted in the restroom on top of Haleakala...

And Shopped:
Front Street, Lahaina
We also saw five whale's from the shore! It was SO cool! We saw two one day and then three another day. It was amazing! We didn't see any turtles but we saw five whale. We shared our suite with Afs and Ty and it was right on the lobby level with our sliding door facing the pool. We were a 30 second walk to the pool and the beach.
This is both of our sliding walkouts:

I loved it!! Along with how much fun we had, we had some strange experiences as well. This is kinda long so get ready:
First, we had a connecting flight in Pheonix and that was only an hour and a half so it wasn't too bad. The flight from there to Maui, which is 6 hrs, was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. My doctor said I had to wear support hose to help prevent blood clots and those were SO uncomfortable! I had to stand up and walk around every hour and that was nice to be able to stretch. But the craziest thing happened on our flight. For those of you who watch Lost will understand. So first of all, there was a guy sitting a few rows ahead of us that looked almost identical to Ben Linus. Anyway, I stood up for my 3rd hour stretch and not even 10 seconds later the plane seriously tipped on it's side! I tumbled over and luckily grabbed a chair so I wouldn't fall and a guy in the aisle seat had to reach across the aisle on the opposite chair to support him, that's how tipped we were! I hurried to my seat and grabbed Zac's arm and started bawling! The plane kept shaking and had bad turbulance and I thought we were going down. After a minute it stopped and finally the pilot came on and explained that a 747 jet had flown only 1,000 ft above us and the turbulance was from their jet wave. Are you kidding me? Of all the places to fly in the sky it flies directly above us! Why couldn't they have seen it on radar or something? Anyway, let's just say I love flying and that really shook me up. Any turbulance from then on I was freaked out.
Second: We were all sleeping and at 1:43am the fire alarm goes off. Yes it was blaring and I freaked out again! I flew out of bed and yelled "Zac what the freak is that?!" Haha Zac is my protector, I always run to him! Anyway, a recorded voice came on say "Attention all guests, please evacuate" and repeated three times. Zac went to the other room and Afs was still in bed and he asked if she was getting up and she said no...Afs is so tough and had NO reaction to it :) so she says. Haha but she said to Zac that since we're on the lower level we don't have far to go. My poor parents were 4 floors above us and were all shaken up too. Tyler had gotten up to see what was going on and at that moment an employee came on and said it was a false alarm. Wow. I was all shaken up and I couldn't imagine what it was like for parents that had little kids probably scared out of their minds. Anyway, the next day we were in our room like at 2 or something and the alarm went off again and this time nobody even moved. But today nobody got on and said it was a false alarm, so leave it to my mom to call and asked if it was real and after hearing the guy say no, she got mad at him and said "Well why haven't you announced that it's a false alarm?!" Haha after she hung up lo and behold there was an announcement!
The third was on our flight home from Maui to Pheonix, red eye aka Zac's favorite time to fly :), the flight attendants started going back and forth quickly so I look back and a guy is carrying a lady who looked like she was about to pass out, to an area that she could lay down. The flight attenedants kept going back and forth with cold rags and paper work. Then one of them got on and announced that if there was a doctor on board to please ring the call button...where is Jack Shepard when you need him? Anyway, I saw one of the ladies get a glass of orange juice, so I figured the passing out lady was diabetic. We never found out what was wrong with her...
Oh and one more funny thing that happened on the fight to Salt Lake, we were on this small 15 row plane and Zac had ordered a sprite and with it on his tray, he kinda fell asleep listening to his head phones. When he went to change the song or something he hit the tray and his glass half full of sprite and ice went flying.
Anyway, we finally got home and we had such a great time! Thanks Mom and Bob for giving us the opportunity to enjoy such an amazing place! Our hotel was beautiful and we would never be staying in a place so nice if it weren't for you guys, we love you!
