We loaded up our bike trailers with our gear and biked a little over a mile to our {somewhat} remote campsite. Lennon loved it! We were worried about how he would sleep, but we brought a tent big enough to fit the pack n' play and he did just fine. He thought the inside of the tent was a big bounce house and loved flopping around in there. Even though a lot of it was grass, he got SO dirty - and loved it. Our first camping trip with Lennon was a success and we're excited to do it again.<br />

We did it. We survived the 365 day crash-course of parenthood. It's been hard, especially when we don't have a darn clue what we're doing. But we're learning. And loving every minute of it.</div>

Every night at the dinner table we make noises at each other. We squish our noses and sniff at each other. We tilt our heads to the side and look at each other sideways. We purposefully bonk our heads together and think it's funny. Every. Single. Time.</div>

I certainly haven't been doing that, but occasionally I remember that I have a camera and I dust it off.<br />

I ran on my treadmill in the morning, packed some lunches for the crew and we headed off to a lake. I think this is my favorite place in PA. We didn't see a single soul the entire time we were there. It was just the four of us, enclosed in trees, a perfect breeze, and the subtle birds. <br />

Some friends and I drove up to Mount Washington to get some pictures of the city. I know I've posted pictures that look identical to this before, but I don't think it'll ever get old taking pictures of this quirky city. I'm so proud to call it home.</div>mccallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15592515590340724694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164331894214919102.post-63603315611231641102012-05-28T18:15:00.002-07:002012-05-28T18:20:35.433-07:00Random ThoughtsI can't believe I haven't posted since <a href="http://cally-wog.blogspot.com/2012/03/hives.html">Lennon had hives</a>.

I ran 3.5 miles the other day, which is the furthest I've ever ran.<br />

I've been teaching myself to crochet and I'm worried that I'm not going to have any new and exciting hobbies when I'm 80.<br />
<br />
We have almost exactly a year left in Pittsburgh. From here on out, everything is our "last".<br />
<br />
My new favorite treat is whole wheat toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas on top.<br />
<br />
Three families in our ward have had a boy, and then twin girls. I'm at high risk.<br />
<br />
I'm in the middle of reading "<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/302340.Spiritual_Lightening">Spiritual Lightening</a>". I dare say this might be my favorite religious book and it just keeps getting better.<br />

We aren't sure if he is allergic to a certain food or anti-biotic, or if it was a viral infection but I hope he doesn't get it again. <br />

I am so far behind on reading blogs. I don't think I will ever catch up.<br />

It was so much fun to see her and Lennon together. They love each other! Lennon just watches Morgan's every move. Morgan makes sure that Lennon is taken care of at all times. They are best friends already.<div><br />

</div><div>We were also lucky enough to have Tannon's aunt do the same thing on their side of the family. </div><div><br />
</div><div>We did a lot of eating, playing, talking, and eating. We got pedicures, saw some friends, watched movies, and relaxed. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Christmas Eve we went to dinner with Tannon's family and my family. It was fun to get everyone together. </div><div><br />
</div><div>That night, we stayed up late baking, wrapping presents, and playing Guitar Hero. We slept at Missy's house and woke up and opened presents. It was so fun to watch Morgan get so excited about hers. Kids make holiday's fun. In the afternoon, we went to my Grandma's house for dinner for the entire extended family. Then, it was off to Tannon's parents where we were able to spend time with his whole family and open presents.</div><div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Tannon, Lennon, and I just got back from an amazing time in utah with family. It was crazy, went by way too fast, and we had a wonderful time being with our families and seeing some friends. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">First stop off the plane? Leatherby's, of course. Both of our families met up there while we had some delicious ice cream. Then it was time for us to head up to Park City with Tannon's family. Tannon's 2 brothers work at The Canyon's resort, so they hooked us up big time. We stayed two nights in a really fancy hotel with a kitchen, a loft, and I think either 3 or 4 rooms? I don't know, I never even made it upstairs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Caitlin was the photographer for the weekend, and I'm glad because I was awful at getting any pictures. {Caitlin, I hope it's okay that I'm stealing these}.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I had forgotten how great it feels to feel the snow beneath my board, and the wind in my face. It was the perfect day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Also, The Canyons just opened up a zipline tour, which was awesome. The longest zip was <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;">2500 feet and is about 260 feet above the ground over a canyon. I loved it.</span></span><br />

<br />
the festivities started on friday with a parade at tannon's school. it was so much fun! i love all of the fellow dental students and their wives/families.<br />

</div>we don't really know what lennon's costume is supposed to be. i found it at a consignment sale for a few bucks. we went with stink bug. whatever it is, he sure looked cute in it.<br />
<br />
that night we went to our ward trunk-or-treat at our church, where there was a chili cook-off. i made <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/10/chipotle-chocolate-chili/">this</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qmTIki8xu6A/TqxVN2NzvmI/AAAAAAAAuUc/3CavwN-OaBM/s1600/Bryce%252C+Ivy%252C+%2526+Claire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qmTIki8xu6A/TqxVN2NzvmI/AAAAAAAAuUc/3CavwN-OaBM/s1600/Bryce%252C+Ivy%252C+%2526+Claire.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
there were some really awesome costumes there, but the following two were my absolute favorites:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-44my6Fh_Ry4/TqxVNb-8dkI/AAAAAAAAuUY/qhnGRgJRhWE/s1600/Isaac+%2526+Sheehyun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-44my6Fh_Ry4/TqxVNb-8dkI/AAAAAAAAuUY/qhnGRgJRhWE/s640/Isaac+%2526+Sheehyun.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
captain jack sparrow and a gorgeous asian. isn't she the prettiest thing you've ever seen? if you know her dad, this costume is much funnier.<br />
<br />
remember how i thought lennon was a stink bug? that was until we ran into mario and princess peach. he is clearly a yoshi egg.<br />
<br />

<br />
i am incredibly blessed with the family i married in to. tannon and his brothers have always been very close and caitlin has become one of my best friends. <br />
<br />
tannon's sister was going to come out with them, but needed to stay home last minute. we missed her.<br />
<br />
we were able to squeeze in some fun things in the week that they were here. we ate way too much. would you have guessed? me neither.<br />
<br />
we ate at: <a href="http://www.pamelasdiner.com/">pamela's</a>, <a href="http://www.churchbrew.com/">church brew works</a>, <a href="http://www.joemamas.com/">joe mama's</a>, lobello's, <a href="http://www.oakmontbakery.com/">oakmont bakery</a>, and got some yummy food/treats at the <a href="http://www.neighborsinthestrip.com/">strip district</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.msdawnskitchen.blogspot.com/">caitlin</a>, candice, and i love to bake, so we were able to squeeze some of that in, as well.<br />
<br />
we made <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1kZc8n/sugarcrafter.net/2011/09/23/pumpkin-monkey-bread">pumpkin monkey bread</a> and <a href="http://www.mini-cupcakes.com/">mini's</a> chocoholic cupcakes.<br />
