Weekend At The Cabin

This past weekend B, Jake, Lanee and I went to the cabin for some much needed r&r and family time. We headed up Friday after work. We attended the Carlton County Fair . I've been going to this fair every year since birth and I wanted to take Jake. This year he was finally able to go on some rides. Here are a bunch of pictures from the weekend.

First ride EVER! He wasn't too sure about it. Tony Loved it though.

Tony loved driving. Jake sat back and enjoyed the ride.

Jake loves this tunnel thing. It folds up so small and we always keep it in the camper. It keeps him busy for hours.

Love the colors

It was a great relaxing weekend. We all had a blast. It was much needed and I am happy we got to go and that B was feeling well enough to go. I am also very happy Lanee was able to come with. We figured out that it has been about 10-12 years since she has came to the cabin with me.

I also just wanted to share a picture of this really cute chair I got Jake for our yard. My work is selling these right now. They have them in every color.

Monday! UGH!

The weekend went way too fast.

I am exhausted today. B and I spend the weekend doing everything but relaxing. I don't know if I mentioned this before but our house has a separate Mother In-Law apartment in it and over the weekend we moved the MIL in. B's mom has been living in a senior community apartment for the past 6 months and was miserable!! After MUCH discussion we decided to have her come live with us. We realized that this was going to be a challenge but wanted to give it a try to help her out and it helps us financially as well. She has her own living room, bedroom and kitchen which is nice because we wanted to keep our privacy and live as separate as possible while still being able to help her out. So we spent all Saturday getting the MIL moved in. B pretty much did it all on his own with the help of his two teenage nephews. I wasn't much help so I started priming the baby room. The people who had this house before us thought BRIGHT green would be a great color for a bedroom. One coat of primer barely covered it. So much for getting the room done over the weekend. It looks like this might take me a while. UGH...

Sunday B and I had to go over to the old place to clean. FUN!! Thank god it only took us about an hour(I guess having a clean freak for my man pays off).
Sunday afternoon B and I actually got to hang out with each other. WOW!! What a concept. We stopped by a few of our old hang outs to chit chat with the locals and then headed home. We didn't feel like cooking so we ordered Chinese.
B and I popped in Indiana Jones and B made it about 45 min before he was old COLD. We ended up just turning it off and heading to bed around 9. All in all the weekend was busy. We are looking forward to next weekend because we have NOTHING planned.

Oh my gosh I forgot to mention... The baby is moving so much lately. It is soooo cool but it's such a strange feeling. The other day I felt it when I had my hand on my tummy. B felt it last night with his hand. It was amazing!! One minute he or she is sticking out my lower right side and then ten minutes later he or she is above my belly button on the left side.
I will post pictures soon.

Have a great Monday!!!

My Weekend

Warning LONG POST AHEAD!!!

Saturday morning I headed over to pick up my Sister and my Niece Jess to go up to the cabin for the Carlton County Fair. Once we got up there we hung out in the water until we headed to the fair. Here are pics from the fair.

My Great Grandma Gooler was married in this church in 1932

This is posted in the school house. 5 paragraphs down they mention my Grandma's wedding.

Baby Tony hanging out

This guy had a wood burning stand. I had to take a picture of this because not only is this my name but it also my b-day. April 18th. It happened to be the guy's address. SO STRANGE!!
Here is my Brother Jason, my Niece Jess and my Cousin Ryan playing the ring toss game.

My SIL Lori and Tony hanging out

After we got back to the cabin from the fair we just hung out. I headed to bed around 9 and the fam hung out at the fire until 12:30 am. My Sister and I were staying in the small spare cabin. Around 12:30 I text my sister and asked her if she could bring me my water when she came to bed because I felt very ill. She brought me my water and then the fun started. My sister got me a garbage can and I proceed to be sick until 2 pm the next day. My poor Sister was up all night having to listen to me throw up over and over in the trash can. I was able to sleep a few hours and then I would wake up and get sick. I am sure you are so happy to hear the details but I couldn't even keep water down.

Around 2 pm my sister thought we should make a break for home. She loaded up the truck and got me into the truck with a garbage bag just in case. She brought me home, got me into bed, gave me a garbage can and then text me every hour to make sure I was ok.

I can't even tell you how miserable I was and if it wasn't for my sister I don't know what I would have done. She was amazing. I give her a hard time a lot but everything she did for me will never be forgotten.

That was my weekend.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was pretty good but of course it went way too fast.
Friday after work I stopped a got dinner from one of my favorite Lebanese deli’s Zakia’s. I got my usual, Lebanese salad, Kibbi, pita bread, some olives and cucumber sauce. Yummy!! It’s sad but I can’t really remember what I did after dinner. It feels like lately I’ve just been a ditz. (Some may say, lately??) I probably just went to bed.

Saturday I woke up at 7:30 am. I haven’t been able to really sleep in lately and sleeping is my favorite thing to do. I just lounged around all day and watched lifetime movies. I was extremely exhausted and couldn’t get the energy to do anything. Being tired all the time would have to be one of my biggest complaints about this first trimester.

Around 3pm I peeled myself off the couch to head up to my Brothers to have dinner. I got to hang out with the cutest little man in the world my nephew Tony.

We played and I got to feed him. I still can’t believe that I will have one of those soon. I have a feeling my baby will have a lot of hair just like Tony because I did when I was born and so did my Brother Jason.

We ordered pizza’s (my fav) and watched a few movies. Watching movies with my Brother isn’t always fun because about 10 min into it he is say ‘ok I know what is going to happen’ and then he will proceed to tell us how the entire movie will play out. He is usually right though.
Around 7 I decided to head home because I wasn’t feeling well. Oh Lori borrowed me a ton of maternity clothes. Thanks SIL! Hit the sheets early as usual.

Sunday was uneventful. I watched movies then we ordered a pizza for dinner. I swear that’s all I want to eat lately.

Now it’s Monday and the week starts all over again.
Tomorrow I have my first Doctors appointment. I am so excited.
Sorry this post is soooo long.
