Before we're full time parents. . .

Andrew and I have been trying to "fill our canteens", I guess you could say, before the baby comes. We have been having a lot of fun doing it too. The beginning of the year or something like that Andrew has been going with my brother Bryan bear baiting. Our house at one point was a popcorn factory where Andrew was popping garbage bags full of it to take up to the bait sight. To attract the bears you have to have a bait sight so they'll come and then you shoot them. I learned all of this through them. I didn't quite understand why Andrew kept on wanting to go up there and help bait the bears when supposedly he wasn't going to shoot one. He told me that he was doing it to "enjoy the great outdoors." Ok, and I bought it. Well "enjoying the great outdoors" really paid off for him because he was able to get his first bear. All and all I was really happy for him. He had a good time doing it too.

My dad was able to help too

Now that Andrew has his bear we've been able to do other things as well. One thing that we've been doing is playing Tiger Woods golf on the Xbox. I'm not a big gamer but ever since we got that we have been down playing that together all the time. It's been so fun. It's also made us want to play real golf. We think by playing it on the Xbox it's made us a ton better on the real course. . . right. We've been able to go quite a few times (for us anyways) since the courses have opened this year. There's a course in Shelley that is really fun and cheap to go to. We went memorial day with Andrew's family. They were so nice to let a 8 1/2 pregnant girl tag along with them. It was SO fun and we all did really good too. Andrew's dad Todd was the only one to think about taking a picture so he did on his phone. It didn't turn out the greatest, but I still wanted to post it on here.

Inbetween everything else that's been going on Andrew has been stressing about putting our garden in, but we FINALLY got it all done. I told him not to worry about it because there has been tons of rain and frost. So on memorial day we went up to town and got all of the fencing (to keep the dogs out) and plants to start. We were out there all afternoon. We're glad that we finally got it done though.

The finished product

I feel bad because Andrew did all the work and I just kept him company basically. But it was fun being out there accomplishing something together. So the next 2 weeks we're going to really live it up before our little guy comes and turns our world upside down, in a good way :)
