Spring Update

An update for the Blaschke family :) I realize it has been over a year, holy cow time flies. We'll start with March. I turned 23 in March! Bridger took me out on a date night and we went to Chili's and he had some baby back ribs. Our 4th anniversary was on March 20th. 4 years! It feels like we were married just yesterday. We fall more and more in love with each other each day and I love it. Bridger is my rock and I would be so lost without him! For our anniversary we were in Phoenix getting his little sister Cheyanne ready for her wedding! Doing her hair and such. She got married a day after our anniversary, which is so cool! 
 She is so gorgeous!!!
 My mom, sister Andrea, and niece Phoebe got to spend a week down in Arizona with us during Spring Break time. It was SOOO good to see them. This little girl is getting so big, I can't believe it. This was an Alloy clearance clothes catalog and she looked through it with me at least once a day for the entire week. But the funniest part of it all was she is such a wiggly girl that she would be wiggling the entire time, I could barely stop laughing sometimes because she would roll to the side, then get on her knees, then back on her stomach, then kick her feet, and repeat the whole time. She is the cutest little one in a half year old I know! 

 It was Andrea's first time experiencing Arizona. Although she is opposed to move here (which I am working on changing her mind about that), she had fun in the sun and seeing what "my world" was like :) 
 Nana and Phoebe reading. Notice her little ponytail on top of her head. Ah! I love it :) It was so good to see my mom. I wish everyday that we lived a little closer! She is the best mom, she is such a great example to me of the type of mom I want to be. 
 Girls shopping day! We never get to go shopping all together so we went to Sierra Vista and shopped around a little bit. It was so fun! Also, my sister Andrea is another amazing example of the type of mom that I want to be. I am so blessed to have amazing examples surrounding me. I hope one day when I am a mom I can be as loving, amazing, strong, and awesome as the examples I have! 

 Reading the catalog, with me and her mom! :) Notice her leg is blurry in this one because she is so wiggly! 

 Of course we had to have a hair day! I love getting to do my families hair! :) 
 Phoebe loved Bridger. This melted my heart! She actually said his name before she said mine, and when we were at a restaurant was asking where he was. Bridger is going to be the best daddy someday :) 
 Of course we had to see the cows!! So we walked to the dairy and walked around looking at all of the animals. We saw the cows, a pig, some dogs, some horses, and the best part was the.... 
 Baby ducks and chicks!!! :) They are so cute and fun to hold! 

 Getting some sun... you sure you don't want to move here Andrea?! :) 

 The catalog again! By the time she had left it was worn to pieces :) But we had lots of fun looking at all of the clothes. 
 I trimmed her bangs because they were hiding in her eyes a little bit. She did great! 
 We walked down to the wash. It is a little hike we take from the back of our house. Sometimes this has water in it. We had fun walking in the sand, and playing with the dogs!


 Back at the house
 Out to lunch! :) I can't say enough how great it was to have my mom, sister and niece visit me! It was so fun to have them. I love family and I am so grateful for my family as well as Bridger's family. Family is an amazing thing! I am so grateful for the bond and love of family. Families make the world go round I think :) 
 Easter weekend was wonderful! We took a quad/truck ride with family down to a place that they call mammoth tracks. It's this rock with big circles imprinted into it. It was fun to see, I had never been there. We had a picnic and shot guns and played some wiffle ball and the kids had an easter egg hunt. 
These pictures are from Easter Sunday! On a little side note, I have recently really gotten into sewing. I sewed the shirt that I am wearing in this picture! :) I really enjoy sewing and making things! 


 This weekend we went camping! I love camping in tents! We took a mattress out of a fold out couch that we had and put that on the ground to sleep on. I highly recommend it! It was probably the best tent night sleep I have ever had! We couldn't camp by the lake we were fishing at because they were full but found a nice campground in the town that is nearby. It had excellent bathrooms and was perfect. We roasted hot dogs and sat by the fire on Friday and then went to sleep. 
 Bridger's sister Brea and our nephew Case :) 


 Did I mention how I love camping! It is so fun to camp! :) Good morning Bridger! 

 We went to Patagonia Lake to fish on Saturday. It was SUPER DUPER windy, and kind of cold but we all came prepared with jackets and extra layers to stay warm. Unfortunately no one caught any fish. But we still had lots of fun! 


 Bridger's brother Seth and his friend took out a little fishing boat. The waves got kind of crazy because of all the wind and they had a hard time getting to where they wanted to go. 

 Super windy still :) But we sat in the sun to make us warmer. 

 Beautiful lake! 
 My handsome fisherman!! 
 They had this really steep bridge there. 
 On top of the bridge

 These are the bathroom walls! I thought they were so cute! So after we left I wanted to get a picture of them. However I was so scared to take a picture in fear someone would walk in and see me and think I was a total weirdo for taking pictures of the walls.. haha thankfully no one walked in! 
 We had a fun camping/fishing trip! We had fun with family of course and decided that we need to camp more often! Hopefully next time we go it is not as windy and they can catch some fish! We love to spend time with family and to have our little adventures! I am so grateful for Bridger and the fun times we have together. He makes me laugh everyday! We can't wait to start our family together :) Hopefully someday soon! Then we can start making more fun memories!
