LEGOS!

Monday night, Uncle shane couldn't wait any longer and he went out and bought me (Kamea) 2 sets of legos! He loves to build things for me, just so I can take them apart! What a sweet uncle!

Here is Shane and Ryan building legos for Kamea.

Yes, Shane loves legos! When we got home with the picture of our 10 week ultrasound, he laid a lego guy down on the baby to measure how big it was. To our amazement, babies at 10 wks are as tall as a lego guy! Bet you didn't know that!

This little girl of ours is going to have the biggest toy box full of legos if Shane has anything to do with it!

Little Miss Kleppen

Yes... there is something creating a bump in my belly! And she is set to make her debut in September!

This is the only good picture we got, but I think she is giving us a thumbs up!

Because I was born a country girl...

....I can't help but yearn for it when I'm away from it! You've heard it before, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can never take the country out of a girl!

I've been thinking about home lately and the hard work that is being done to sew seeds in preparation for a bountiful harvest. I cherish my growing up years and the time spent outdoors. When the weather starts getting nice, that part of the country girl in me, wants to be outside getting dirty and enjoying the smell of freshly worked soil!

These are just a few pictures of what being a country girl means to me...

Our swimming pool, and diving board. The snake river and an old bridge on a scorching summer day.

Men, tending to the crops.Going for an early morning run on a gravel road where you might meet one car.Baking cookies with my dear mom.Going for a ride.Feeling the chaff and dust make its home on your clothes, skin, and hair! And the refreshing feel of a shower at the end of the day!Bon fires with the family!!Old classic pickups. (That don't run)Time with Dad!! A girl's gotta know how to drive a truck!!Entertaining the little ones and simply feeling the power between your legs!Ahhh.... the smell of harvest!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I will forever be a country girl at heart, even if I have to live in the city. I hope that someday I can share the same experiences with my own children! In the mean time, I will enjoy my time in the city and have day dreams about living in the country. I think that will do, as long as i get to go home every once in a while!

Little update.

No pictures, sorry!

We can finally see the floor in our apartment! It is nice to be able to find things when you need them. Or not find things in Shane's case, because he doesn't know where its new location is. But... he'll get used to it after opening every drawer and cupboard!

Also, he has started school again. So, we are back to sticking around the house on the weekends. Only one more quarter after this one and he will be done! We both can't wait until the middle of August.

Well...... That is all the news for now. I hope to post some pictures soon, but in the mean time enjoy the week!
