I have been wanting to post for a while but there just isn't a whole lot going on! We did buy a new camper!! I am so excited to use it this weekend! I spent all day Saturday and last night cleaning it and I am still not quite done! I figured I would make it really clean now and than we just have to clean it after we camp! Growing up my family never camped. I would go a couple times with my neighbor's family. Than I started dating Brad and his family's vacations were always camping and I love it!! So now we camp quite a bit! And it is great that our friends got a camper so now we go with them a few times! It is very relaxing! (I should say it WILL be relaxing once my kids are older and I don't have to keep an eye on them all the time.) It is still fun!
We have a busy 2 weeks ahead. We are gong to camp this weekend from Friday night until Monday. Tuesday night we take a big family picture with my whole family and then Thursday we go to firefighter convention in Monticello, IA which is 6 hours away! If your wondering what goes on at the firefighter convention I will explain it a little. All of Iowas firefighters get together, I guess not all of them because some need to be home in case of a fire :). We camp and just hang out. This year at night there will be bands performing and supper both Friday and Saturday night. Friday they have a few competitions. I believe they have the old timers water fight, co-ed, and women's water fights. Saturday is the firefighters competitions which is all day. The guys do all kinds of competitions. It is fun to watch and cheer on the guys! I will have to post pictures when we get back!
Sorry I waited so long to post the exciting news!! No, I am not pregnant but my sister-in-law is!! Woo hoo!!! I get to be an aunt to another niece or nephew! I love it! This will be number 8 for me! I get to babysit this little peanut and I cannot wait!! That is all for now! I will have to update you all in about 2 weeks when we get home and I can share all of the fun stuff we did!! Have a good labor day weekend!

Vacation
We are home from vacation!! The excitement of our vacation began Tuesday night when Brad was going to pop up the camper so that we could start packing! Well, the camper wouldn't so much as pop up! The cable that pops it up is broken. So Brad brought it to a camper fixer guy. Luckily Brad's mom wasn't going to be using her camper so we borrowed it for the weekend. Thursday night Brad got home from work we ate pizza loaded up the van and pickup and headed to Luverne, MN. We got our camp all set up and just relaxed when we got there! It was so hot all weekend! Poor Ben was miserable he just cried all the time except for when we were swimming! We still made the best of it and had a good time as a family! We went to the Luverne Drive-In movie theater Friday night! That was fun! Both kids fell asleep in the van so we stayed and watched both movies! It was an extremely late night but a lot of fun! We went to the zoo on Saturday and Abby loved it! We picked a good time to go because all of the animals were awake and moving around!
Monday morning came and it was time to pack up! This didn't go well at all! Both kids were crying, Brad's pick up tire was shredded so he had to change that, it was hot, then he couldn't get the camper to hook up to the pickup. Than we got home and there was a message on the answering machine from the camper fixer guy saying that as he was beginning to work on our camper he found some issues that were going to be quite expensive to fix. So Brad called him and got the scoop. We spent a good part of Monday afternoon trying to decide what to do. We finally came to a conclusion. Brad is going to fix the part of the camper that he can and then have the fixer man fix the least expensive stuff just to get through to the fall so that we can still use it and then we are going to sale it and buy a new one! If it wasn't for our bathroom remodel we probably would just look for a new one now but we are tied up for the time being! So that was our exciting weekend!
Benjamin is 8 months old! I can't believe how fast these past 8 months have gone by and how much my baby boy has grown! He does the army crawl and if you are laying on the floor he loves to attack you! Especially his big sister!
I hope you all had a great weekend and your week is starting out good! I am in recover mode from vacation trying to get our house in order because it is a disaster!
I also have other exciting news but am not going to share it at this time! I am going to wait for the go ahead! But I am so excited to share it!!! Good-bye for now!
