Fun times, spring cleaning, & being sick...

We had a really great Memorial weekend! Aaron had a 5 day weekend for the holiday and it was SO nice to be able to spend so much time with him!! Despite of us ALL having the flu we managed to get some work done around the house, see some friends, and have a little fun!

I don't know wether it's because of being at the end of the pregnancy & wanting to nest, or if it's because I've been watching the show "Clean House" a lot, or if I just got the normal Spring-cleaning bug, but I've been going NUTS cleaning, & organizing our house! With the wonderful (& much appreciated) help of Aaron & June we've cleaned out every room, closet, & drawer in the house, organized the chaos in our basement (& finally put away our Christmas tree! HAHA!), got our sprinklers going, planted a -very- small garden, weeded & fertilized our flower beds & lawn, & took 3 big trips to D.I.!!!! It feels so great to have a de-cluttered house!
(Here is June working outside with us learning how to get a drink from the hose!)

We also spent a good bit of time riding the 4 wheeler around the neighborhood. June loves it & calls it a car!


On our last day of Aaron's time off we took a day trip to a very pretty area (only 45 min. away) called Hicie (not sure on the spelling..). It's such a fun area with mountains, lots of trees & streams, quad trails, & the Snake River is there, too! This was only a short trip, but we had fun playing by a stream, having a picnic in the back of the Suburban, & going on a short hike. We plan on going back & camping there as soon as we can work it out!!




Here are a couple of videos! One is June splashing in the hose water in our yard, & the other is us on our little day trip eating lunch!
