April Trip to Blanding

In April Mark and I had the chance to go to Blanding to a Jeep Jamboree for work. We went to Arch Canyon. We towed the Jeep down with the Motor home and stayed in an RV park. Then the first day we went on a trail that ended up at some Indian Ruins. We were also able to see some awesome petroglyphs. It great to have a short trip together and enjoy the out of doors.

Our second day we had the opportunity to help a young couple, celebrating their first anniversary, out of the mud! They were stuck overnight, and didn't have any luck getting help from the forest ranger. He handed them a shovel and rug and said " good luck." We overheard that they needed some help while in a visitor's center, so we spent the next few hours helping them out. Here are a few pictures.

Fun with the grandkids!!

I know I haven't posted forever!! So these are random, and hopefully they will work or I might totally be done with blogging. :)
This is Libby and Kenzie at one of our Sunday dinners. They all love playing with each other it is great!

These next 3 pictures are at the children's museum. I went with Libby, Teancum and my friend Jenny and 2 of her kids, we had a great time. I thought it was so cute when Chase just decided to climb up on the table and really get into playing with the cars and tracks.

Teancum loved this little tracker!!

I loved this when the kids really got into this Rub a Dub Tub, well it does say TUB.

Curious Libby!!

Yesterday while I was tending Libby and Teancum our neighbors were getting a new driveway. When I heard the cement truck I told Libby we should go and watch it. Kids always love that stuff! So we were watching out the window. Soon the cement truck finished up and left and then we watched as the men working on it start the finishing work. I pointed out to Libby that they had to use long polls and wear boots because cement is very wet and messy. Well she was intently watching so I went to make a phone call. The next thing I knew the doorbell rang and there stood one of the workmen and Libby! She had cement up passed her wrists on both hands and the front of her was covered from her belly down, and one shoe was missing. Ahh!! My first thought was When did you get out there! And then OH no you really fell in the cement! So I quickly got her clothes off and got her in the tub. So these are the after pictures, didn't have time to get the before shots. After she was all cleaned up I had a good laugh! :) What a kid! Got to love her.

These are the clothes that she came to Grandma's in, (the wet ones) luckily they cleaned up great!!

Aunt Alie holding Gracie

Kenzie was not feeling well the day Gracie was born so she wasn't able to hold her that day. So the next day when she came to visit she was very happy to be able to hold her new little sister!

Fun Family Night!!

Our first family night this spring! The weather was great and so we went for a hike up Dell Canyon. Mark was hoping we would run into snow about half way up and would have to turn around but no such luck. Only a small amount of snow just enough for a few snow balls. It felt really good to get out and enjoy the out doors.

Like our new TERAFLEX hoodies!!

We also took Josie along with us and she was alot of fun!!

It is a bit strange to only have two kids home!! (most or the time)

Girls having fun making fishy faces. We had a great time!!

More Easter!!

Teancum looking handsome for Easter, he wasn't into the eggs to much but loved being outside!

It was great to have Ian home with us for Easter! He and Mindy enjoyed seeing the kids having fun.

Kenzie excited about all the fun things she got!!

Yes Alie also made a pretty good haul. She was shaking all the eggs looking for ones with money in them :) It's always great to get the family together. We had a great day!!
