Zion's & Bryce National Parks

I got to go camping with the Doncouse & Bowden family's for 4 days this June. It was sooooo much fun getting to know everyone better and to kick back and relax after work was done. We stayed in Pinquitch, UT and then day trips into Zion's, Bryce, Kolob, for hikes and exploration. The kids did great on the hikes we were doing lengths of 3 miles for 2 of the hikes. Scott didn't get to come because someone needs to work so we can pay the bills!! here are some pics from the adventure.

Happy Anniversary!

Well June 1st was our 2nd anniversary Scott sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers with red roses in them for the first time ever sending me RED roses i was so excited he has always said he wont give me RED just to be a pest to me. So we think a date by ourselves is kind of boring so we took the kids and a friend (Julie) to the movies with us! We watched "UP" 3-D and we all loved it.

National Rocky Road Day

June 2nd is National Rocky Road day so i tried to get Scott to take us off roading on a rocky road he seemed to think it meant Ice Cream! Why not both?? But we did decide to just eat the ice cream here are the pictures from our fun night!

April Fools

I forgot to post about our fun April fools day and the wonderful dinner i made!! hehe


This is our dessert!!


Sushi for the main meal!!
Adrea eating the Sushi and not quiet sure what to think!
Shane thinking about trying it!!

Well the Peas were rolled up laffy taffy and the sushi was fruit roll up wrapped around rice krispie treats with a worm in it! and the dessert was meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top to look like chocolate cake with strawberry frosting!! the kids loved it and can't wait for next year!!

Yard work!!!!

Well last year we did nothing outside but let our yard get overtaken with weeds and almost kill everything!! so this year we had a ton of work to do to try and save and change things!


building a new retaining wall which we were not planning on doing and dug out wayyyyyyyy to many rocks in the process and now we are stuck with a ton of rocks, and no where to put them!!

This used to be grass and we didn't want to pay to install the sprinkler to it so we dug it out and moved the pea gravel from the "garden area" and then put a couple of the rocks from the retaining wall!




This is a project for the front flower bed the kids both picked one color of paint and then we painted the wood and cut to length then made a zig zag garden in front the has half flowers and half garden. I will take a picture when it is growning more and i can tell what is weeds or flowers then i can take a picture! I worry the kids got a hold of the wild flowers and scattered them in the garden part so i want to see what it is before i yank it all up!!
