Boating 2008
We have a wonderful friend who happens to have a boat. He invited us out for a fun day at Willard Bay! The kids had an absolute blast riding the Tube and swimming. I was offered a chance to drive! I was freaked out but did a pretty good job (as long as I went straight LOL!) Turning was scary!
Thanks Brent!
4th Of July 2008
We had a great 4th of July. On the 3rd Mom and the kids went to Logan and enjoyed the USU Stadium Shows and Fireworks. On the 4th, we spent a family day together and even had a picnic dinner at the park in Brigham while we watched more Fireworks. Then we took our tired butts home and did our own little firework show!
Yellowstone National Park 2008
We went to Yellowstone the first weekend in June. Not the best trip ever, but we tried to make it fun. First of all, it snowed (blizzard style) every afternoon. We didn't let it stop us though. We were able to keep warm in our trailer. Each day we went out and saw waterfalls and Geysers. We also spent a lot of time at the Old Faithful Inn, waiting for Bill and his mom to go on a hike that took 5 hours. (We didn't know how long it would take before hand) Mom was kinda Witc&y about that one. Thanks to Aunt Rachel and Matt for playing cards with us and singing silly songs like........."Daddy's whiskers"
We saw a lot of Bison and Elk. Calie had fun naming the baby buffaloes and she will try to find they when we go there again. She just knows that she will remember which names go to which ones!
The kids loved hanging out with their cousins!
Here are a few pics!!!!!!!

April Fools!!!!!
Check out the fun dinner we had for April Fools Day (above)
Here is the scoop!
*The (Grilled cheese sandwich) is really Pound cake that has been sliced and toasted in the toaster. Butter cream frosting tinted orange is the "cheese"
*The (French Fries) are made from refrigerated bread stick dough that is cut-up and rolled in sugar. Later on I added Strawberry jam for the "ketchup"
*The (peas and carrots) are just orange starburst candies cut up with kitchen sheers and green sixlets candies.
*I made a "Raw Egg Sundae" also. A scoop of Vanilla ice cream covered with Marshmallow creme and a small spoonful of lemon pudding. (This is not in the picture above)
We ate dinner as usual and while Bill entertained the kids I put this together. I then called them in for dinner. They said "But mom, we just ate!" It was so fun to do this for them. They told everybody they knew about it. I even got a call from one of their teachers wanting the recipes.
