Baby Bump 31 weeks - The Pumpkin Patch

Sunday was an amazing fall day to check out The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island, just on the other side of Portland. We took off to meet our friends Sarah + Andy with their baby Ally to go pick some pumpkins, go through a corn maze and get some fresh produce to go. It was warm, sunny and a blast. We were all on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin to take home (with hundreds of other people having the same idea!) We had some good laughs and Randy sure did his part to make me smile!!! I feel so lucky to go through this with Randy.

31 week baby bump - about the size of this pumpkin?!

I think he was having a little too much fun!

Baby Bump 29 weeks - Fly fishing on the Kalama River

So all summer we have been waiting for a perfect day to learn to fly fish for Steelhead. We hired a awesome guide to take us on his raft down the Kalama River in Washington. The weather worked out, it only rained a little, my waders still fit (I was a little worried about that!), and we went home with an awesome fish to fillet up. Randy was the lucky fish winner this time, but it is his birthday this week, so he deserves it!

We have only gone fly fishing for trout over the years and it is a huge expense to get into the set-up for Steelhead, so we wanted to do it right with an expert to teach is the ropes. We have a long way to go... patience is a virtue, and the prize was huge! And I was glad I could still climb in and out of the raft!

29 week baby bump! So in style in my waders!

31" fish. That is a big fish.

One of my silly itty bitty fish... doesn't count!
