Our one and only camping trip this year was to Round Lake for our annual camp with friends trip. It was a lot of fun, even if I slept poorly. We forgot the pillows. And I took close to no photos with the exception of the ones below of Maeve playing with fire. We got in a lot of really fun lake time and everyone had a wonderful time!

In May, we had our landscaping in our front yard done and I'm so happy with it! I've planted a bunch of plants and my daughters love to pick flowers and make bouquets. It's just the best. We've spent some evening sitting outside on the porch watching the girls put together bouquets and once, flower crowns. So worth it!

What's summer without a bowl of juicy watermelon?

I'm expecting (YAY!) and due March 4th. I did a blood test to find out the gender of our baby early and was surprised with the results - a BOY?!?! I didn't know my body could make those! I'll have my halfway ultrasound in October so hopefully we'll be able to confirm then!

I baked a BLUE cake for my girls to cut into! Their sweet little faces say it all. They're so happy that we're going to have a baby that we 100% get to keep!

Our second trip out to the Banks Lake/Grand Coulee area! Our girls were very enthusiastic about returning to the same place we stayed at last year and playing in the lake! Of course we had a lovely time. Highlights include: swimming in gorgeous Banks Lake, finding a ton of shells, renting a paddle board and eating super good Mexican food from a truck two nights in a row! This is a mini vacation that we would happily repeat!
