Tuzigoot monument

I was the only one that loved touring the ruins. I tried to make it sound exciting that people lived here 1000 yrs ago and nobody knows why the people moved away.Chris responded well its probably because its boring here. (We moved on to our next adventure.)

Lake Powell

2009-07-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

I have so many pictures to choose from it is crazy. We joined my family in Lake Powell and had a blast! Many stories too tell and many things learned. Lex and Jax went on the tubes and wave runners and they are adrenaline junkies. Natalie hung out with her cousins her age and I rarely saw her. She kneeboarded, tubed and learned how to wakeboard. Chris learned how to kneeboard, he got up the first time. Awesome!!! Crazy kids watched there uncles kick huge boulders down the mountains and we had water balloons that we slingshot to other boats or to each other on the lake. Everyone helped cook excellent meals. The kids went in grandpa's boat with there uncle Drew to cliff jump. (I did not want to see that) Gr'pa and Gr'ma took all the little ones in his fishing boat and found hidden treasures in secret coves and found fossils in canyons on there long hikes. Very Cool. The only embarassing things happened to Matt and I, he contracted some yucky rash which turned to blisters which drained which turned to seeping blood and swelling. But he did not feel the need to goto the doctor. I decided to go flying off the kneeboard slam my knee on the board gash my knee open and maybe dislocate it Good Times

Well above is a picture of a sock hop that our ward did and we had a blast. The kids really got excited about dressing up. Recently we had Jax's 3rd birthday and we are officially in big boy underwear. For those moms that have experienced this, this is a big deal. For me it is huge because it is my last child out of diapers. Yipee Skipee!!!

Christmas was Awesome!!!

2008-12-25T12:19:00.000-08:00

We had such a blast this morning. We did not get snow in beautiful Arizona but lots of rain and dark clouds today. The kids got gifts that they wanted and needed and have been playing the Wii non stop. We discovered that dad is awesome at Guitar Hero and I am not. A matter of fact the phrase the kids used was, Mom good try but probably should take a break. Natalie and Chris have pure talent and Lex and Jax have pure luck. Lex and Jax were beating everbody at every game. Lots of Laughs.
I hope everyones Christmas is and was wonderful. Thanks for the goodies,cards and letters. God Bless everyone this season.
