23 weeks

I am going on 25 weeks now... but here is a pic of me at 23 weeks...I am feeling good other than my feet KILLING me! I need to keep them up more...it is hard though when there is so much to get done... I can't wait to hold my little baby... only 15 more weeks to go.... WOOO HOOO!!!

Last Weekend

Here are some pics and some video from our drive up to the mountains last weekend - it sure was beautiful up there... I can't wait to go camping. The video below is on the 79 driving towards Lake Cuyamaca...some of the video gets a bit out of focus... sorry about that, I think it was due to the glare on the windsheild. The music we are listening to is a great Hawaiian Artist, IZ Kamakawiwo'ole. We discovered him on our honeymoon...Love him! Click on his name for another sample of his sound...

Click the play button and Enjoy the ride!

Here are some pics of the lake...

We were happy to see there was a ton of water in it, should make for some good fishing... maybe we should bring our poles when we go back.

SCARY!

Memorial Day Plans

Memorial day weekend is coming up and we have made plans to go camping at Mt. Laguna! :)

We usually tent camp it up there that weekend every year.... But being that I am pregnant and don't really feeling like running to the bushes 6 times in the dark in the night my dear sweet hubby got us a rig again :)

I can't wait! We drove up there to check out some sites over the weekend... I took some pretty pics - I will upload them tomorrow. The spring flowers are just beginning to bloom so we should be in for a truely beautiful show once we get up there in late May.

HEE HEE

Cute, eh?

Crab Salad

Happy Friday!

Here is a delish and easy recipe for you to try over the weekend or some time this season or next - my family loves it and I always get lots of requests for it when they want me to bring something.

JO’s Imitation Crab Salad

1 Pkg Imitation Crab
¾ pkg of small pasta shells (cooked, drained and cooled)
12-15 baby carrots chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
3 green onions chopped
3 Tbl Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
1/3 cup Mayo (more or less as desired)
Morton’s Nature Seasoning (look for the blue cap)

Mix wet ingredients with veggies and about ¼ tsp seasoning. Then mix with pasta. Chop your Crab up in chucks – not too small then mix in to pasta mix. Sprinkle more seasoning on top and then chill for at least 4 hours. Enjoy! YUMMY!

Have a great day!
