Kruz and Kolby's Birthday Bash

While we were in Utah we got to attend the joint birthday parties for Kruz and Kolby!
I had fun hanging out with all the family, even if Kolby didn't want anything to do with me!

Flashback to Myton Elementary!

For the second half of our spring break we went to Myton. I know, I know, you are all probably jealous. We went with my Mom's second grade class on her annual bike hike and let me just say that I was seriously misled! I was told it was a 5 mile ride, no problem. It was 5 miles ONE WAY! And I know I went on this ride when I was in Elementary but it seemed shorter and easier when I was 7! I pulled Mica behind me in her bike carriage most of the way, on the way back with that wind blowing so bad I finally had to have Ted take Mica and her carriage with him in the Expedition. Carson made it most of the way, and would have made it all the way, if that wind hadn't blown him over and helped him crash. He was riding circles around me! The next day I went to the Myton Elementary talent show...LOTS OF TALENT!
Ben and Zach did some tumbleing! They did awesome!
Gloria played her guitar, I was impressed. She did great, I see a future here!!!
And Ben sang "Bad Day" he did very well. I had fun with my little flash back to Myton Elementary!

Grand Junction

For Spring Break this year, Ted and I both took the week off, and we went to visit family. We had a lot of fun. We left Kemmerer on April 3rd. We started to drive to Grand Junction to spend time with Ted's Sister and her family, but it was snowing so much that by the time we hit Vernal we decided to spend the night with my parents instead of driving over Douglas Pass in the middle of the night durning a blizzard. The next morning we got up and drove the rest of the way to Grand Junction. Douglas Pass was horrible, but I am glad we drove it in the day light. The kids loved being in Grand Junction and spending time with their cousins. Micalyn and Pheonix had lots of fun. They did some bonding over cosmetics. We took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese







We also got to go to Shyenne's concert. Pheonix seemed happy to be there...When the younger group of students started to warm up Nick said, not to quitely, "Oh this is terrible!" It was really hard not to laugh, that kid can be really honest sometimes.

We had a lot of fun with Mike, Kacey, Sheyenne, Madisen and Pheonix...we can't wait to visit again!!!

LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Birthdays, Traveling and Swimming...oh my!

I haven't been doing much blogging lately, I have however spent countless hours catching up with old friends on Facebook. So I am "blogging down" or is it buckleing down and going to do some much needed catching up. We went to Logan in mid March for Emma and Tyler's Birthdays...and I just realized as I was looking for a picture of the Birthday kids, that I don't have one of Emma at her own party! SORRY.Here is Tyler at his party, does he look excited or what! And here is Emma at Easter (only a week or so off from her Birthday!) The kids and I got a hotel for our stay in Logan. Daniel, Jana, Tyler and Kailey came to the hotel to swim in the pool with us.






During the birthday party the kids (and Daniel) decided to have a snowball fight....




Bryan got in on the fun too, but it wore him out. Dad, it seems was just tired from all the fun (it couldn't have been all the traveling!)
