Eileen's Baby Shower

This weekend, Eileen had her baby shower. We were excited for this because we really didn't have a lot for the baby yet, so we were ready to get some things for baby girl. It was from 1-3pm on Saturday. I (Scott) disappeared during this time because I knew it was going to be something girly and I didn't want to hear all of the "OOOOHHHH's and AAAWWWWWSSSS". So I went and did something manly with my friend...I shot guns at the gun range. He has a shotgun that about took off my shoulder when shooting it, but that's besides the point.

Anyways, Eileen had a great time. She got lots of clothes for baby girl. We got lots of blankets also, which is good I guess because it will be cold in a couple of months and she needs to be warm. We got baby spoons to feed baby. We got toys, more clothes, diapers, other important accessories for baby as well as lotion and other things. So we were very happy to get all of this. Now we have to put it away somewhere. We have so much junk in our house that I don't know where to put it. Happy us!

Many Thanks to Heidi Myers for putting this baby shower on for Eileen. She put a lot of hard work and effort and money probably into this and we are sure appreciative of her to drive all the way from Idaho Falls to Pocatello in order to spend a few hours with us. Thanks Heidi, we really appreciate it!!!

Where I have Visited in the U.S.A

I was reading Aunt Joyce's Post and she had a picture of all the states she has visited. I was curious about where I have visited, so i clicked on the map and made up my own and here it is... Eileen wanted to do the same, so her's is included as well. Boy did we grow up in different worlds!

We are doing something a little different. We want to visit all of the United States, but we want to visit all of the state's mountain HIGHPOINTS. If you look below left on this main blog page, we have a picture of all the state Highpoints we have visited so far. For those of you who are lazy...here's the pic...























If you click on this picture, or the same picture down on the left, I am working on Trip Reports for each State we have visited. I need to update it, so sorry if it's older and doesn't look the prettiest!

Pregnant Eileen Part 2

It's been a few weeks since I posted updated pictures of Pregnant Eileen, so here are a few. She really is letting herself go these days!!! :-)

I am not 100% sure, but I think Eileen is NOT having the greatest time being pregnant. I am just guessing, but she always complains about back pains, and feet pains, and that she can't breathe. She also has been complaining of sharp backbone pains, which is weird.

The other day, Eileen all of a sudden jumped and screamed, right out of the blue. She said that little baby girl tickled her! Yup, she was tickling Eileen from the inside. She said it was a fun feeling, so that's a good experience. I like to feel baby girl move. If we poke into her baby stomach, most times, baby will poke back. That's kind of fun. Eileen is like 31 weeks right now, and I think she is ready to have this baby. She is tired of waking up 3-5 times a night to pee and not being comfortable when she lays down. She borrowed a memory foam single mattress to put on top of our bed, so she can sleep better. She said last night she slept better than the previous nights, so hopefully it helps!

Eileen is making a Baby blanket. She is learning how to Crochet. She was taught by one of my friend's wives who knows EVERYTHING about Knitting and that sort of thing. Eileen is getting absorbed with this project, because every time she sits down and has a free moment, she is knitting. These are a couple of pictures of what it looks like right now. It will really look pretty when it's done.

Poor little Squirrel

Yesterday we found this poor little squirrel in front of our house. He was lying on the side of the street squeaking and moaning. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. I don't think he could move. So Eileen took him inside our house with a towel and laid him on the counter. We tried to put some water in him, but he didn't respond. We just watched over him and looked for any signs of life.


I got creative and got my stethescope and listened for his heartbeat. I did hear it, which was kind of fun. We were debating whether we should give him Hydrocodone syrup for pain, or Tylenol, or something else, or just let him sleep. Well, he woke up a few times and squeaked and tried to get up. Long story short...at midnight, he passed away. He twitched like crazy and wet himself and then stopped. It really was kind of sad to watch.

Today Eileen buried little squirrel in the backyard. Not a good idea says me, because pepper is going to dig him up. Sure enough, once we went back inside, pepper darted outside and started digging him up. Dang dog! Anyways, that's our little sad story. Little squirrel is in heaven now!
