Memories

• 12/9: Jake was laying the bed all day because his back got really bad, and was causing a lot of pain. Well I found his glasses and put them on my desk. Later that evening we noticed his glasses were not on my desk. And I was searching for them. We asked Sydney if she had seen them, and she said she had not. So after looking around I randomly found them under the couch (which we moved to the dining room in front of our computers so that Jake could lay down out there and be with everyone). After we found them Jake was commenting on how dirty they were, and Sydney said "ya they were too big for my face. " Thank goodness they weren't broken, once side was a little bent, but it was fixable. 

• Jake told Sydney that we got her bath bubbles and she said "thanks you guys, you're awesome."

• I was sitting with the girls on the couch eating lunch, when I hear Sydney say "daddy is lost but we will find him." So I ask her who she is talking to and she says "my toes."

•  (January/4/2016 )Lizzy is so close to walking. She can walk almost perfectly every time while holding onto someone's finger (with only one hand). She had gotten to the point where she'll even take steps between furniture. And she loves her walker. But she refuses to walk if you try and get her to do so. The little stinker. 

Current Creek 2015

August 3-8, 2015. Monday-Saturday.

The girls and I were orginally going to go up Wednesday with my mom, but after I found out that dad was going up Monday by himself, I dedcided we would go up with him. Jake was saving his time off for our vacation in November so he didn't come. I left home a couple hours later on Monday, so we didn't meet Dad until a little after 1 pm on Monday.

We finally got up to Current Creek around 4 pm. Only Gary was there, and Kaylee was out somewhere (Jeanette had to go back home for her tent poles). It took us an hour to get the trailer in and situated.  Sydney was so excited to be there. She was running around, playing in the dirt, loving it.

Tuesday we went fishing on the bank with Jeanette and Kaylee. Sydney was so excited to see Kaylees fish (since this was her first time fishing ever. Jake even bought her her own princess fishing pole).  (edit I forgot that I had been messing around with manual mode on my camera, so all the pictures were way overexposed, and I tried editing them in lightroom, but I lost a lot of data, so the pictures are pretty crappy). Lizzy thankfully went down for a nap about a half hour later, and slept for a good hour, So it made fishing so much easier.

We went out in the boat for a little bit, Lizzy fell asleep and slept in the bottom of the boat, and Dad and I fished while Syd tried not to be bored or wet. We caught a couple of fish. Sydney got to watch her grandpa gut the fish too.

Wed Jeff and Wendy showed up with Daycen and Asher, and Syd was so excited to have friends. Her and Daycen played really well together. That evening Lexi and her family arrived and they brought their Razor (4 wheeler type thing).

Thursday the kids played, did crafts, and We rode in the Razor. And Dad and Jeff took Sydney and Daycen in the boat to fish. Sydney and Taya played in the lake water just down by the dock, and my dad found a leech on Sydneys hand.

Mom and Dad and I and the little girls all went for a ride in the razor since it was Friday and we were leaving Saturday morning. Lizzy fell asleep on the way up the mountain, and Sydney fell asleep on the way down the mountain. Each girl loved the ride.   Dad and I went fishing in the boat one last time too. We both caught a couple.

Saturday, we ate (which the food the whole week, was of course, awesome.) and I packed all my stuff, and I left with grandma in the little red car my mom brought up on Wednesday. So I was out of there by noon-12:30. Packed what I could in the car and left the rest in the trailer. My parents were only about 30 minutes behind us. And it took me only a little bit to pack up my jeep, dad had to jump start it, and get back on the road. I was anxious to see Jake after a week. But we had a lot of fun. Always enjoy our time in those beautiful mountains.
