It’s been almost a month, but I couldn’t forget to tell you about Jett’s birthday weekend. Last year we went a little overboard and let the kids pick their own birthday adventure and let’s just say it was a bit expensive. They all had amazing days that they chose, but this year we wanted to get back to simplicity. And back to nature. So, we will (hopefully) be taking a tent camping trip for each of their birthdays this year.
For Jett, we picked out 2 awesome nearby campgrounds and let him chose which one he would want to go to. He ended up choosing Wallowa Lake State Park. We booked it online and assumed it would be great weather since the last 2 weeks here in La Grande were absolutely beautiful. Well, we checked the weather and it didn’t look good. How in the world would it go from sunny and 80s to 50s and raining? And that was during the day! We were not going to let the weather ruin a birthday so, we kept on with the plan.

Guys! We are downsizing very soon and we would love to see our 5th wheel go to another full-time family. We have customized this rig with a stand up desk for those who work on the road. It is ready for a large family to take it on adventures.
Help us spread the word so that we can find the perfect family for our home!
We have created this video to show more of the inside and everything it has to offer. Please watch it and share with your family and friends. Let's find Rocksteady (our rig) a new family!

When we set out on our adventure (tomorrow will be 14 months) we really thought that it would be much easier to stay active and eat healthy. While we were more active for the first year our eating habits didn't change much. Not that we eat horribly, but we could be doing better. I have this unhealthy love of MexiCoke and I know it's horrible for me but sometimes you just got to have one. Well, last night I drank my last one. Not my last one forever, but my last one for awhile. I'm finding out that sometimes you have to say goodbye. Not for forever, but for awhile. Sometimes you have to say no in order to say yes to something better.
I'm ready. I'm ready to get active. We have been a bit lazy since we've taken this work camp job here in La Grande, OR. It's just a season but I'm ready to get back to regular hiking, biking, exploring. Guys, I have SO MUCH weight to drop. It's hard to write the number but I have 80 pounds that need to go. That's like carrying Adali around all day! Ridiculous. I don't want to do it anymore. It needs to go! So, in effort to get this ball rolling, I just had to get that out there. To be held accountable I'm going to be posting what we are eating. I'm not sure how yet, it may be a short video every day on Instagram or I may do a quick post each week but, it starts now. I know what needs to be done, but now I just have to do it...and stick with it. Jonathan is on board and they kids are mentally prepared for no more sugar.
During the month of July we are cutting out all wheat, refined sugar and processed food. I went to the store last night and bought all produce and meat! I didn't even go down another isle. It's true, all the real food is found on the outskirts of the store. Plus, my shopping went so much faster when I was mainly just in the produce section! Win/Win!
In August we will be getting a bit more strict but for now, this is a good start!
So, if you'd like some good healthy eating ideas, follow us on Instagram at @bareneckers and let's get healthier together!

Even though we've been traveling for over a year now, we're just starting to get into camping and backpacking. Turns out all the ultra light, high quality gear is expensive! Geez.
So we were pretty excited when we ran across this little outdoor cooking set on Amazon. A piezo ignitor, cookware and a nice carrying case for 23 bucks? Why not? All we had to get was the butane.

Fourteen hours of driving and an overnight in Salt Lake City, UT got us all the way to La Grande in just 2 days! We will never drive that far, that fast, again. Woah! We may have had to stock up on some caffeine to get us here but we made it!
