Ouch!!!

Bob had his wisdom teeth (3) taken out on January 30th, poor guy. He was very brave and tried to stand up immediately upon gaining consciousness. I told him he had to sit down until his dad got there, as he is almost a foot taller than me, and I am not sure I could support his dead weight. It was quite a comedy getting him in the house by myself, as Ky was picking up medicine at the pharmacy. I told Bob to pretend we were on a date and put his arm around me, he actually fell the full length of the Man Room into the love sack. Here is a picture with the best Ice pack I have ever made, baseball pants, the seat went under his head, and then I tied the legs around his jaw.

All Aboard!

We went to the train museum in Ogden for Presidents Day, we had a great time, although we could not convince Zach to come with us. He was enjoying some quiet time on the sofa, and thought that the museum sounded too boring. Bob was in St George, so it was just Eli, Granty, and myself. We had a great time, and hopefully we'll go back again soon.

Pumpkin Carving at our House

We had a great time carving pumpkins, it really cracks me up, but Zach wanted to be the headless horseman for Halloween.  We had to find a big enough pumpkin to fit over his head, it was a 12 pound pumpkin, but nevertheless, it works, see.    Bob wanted to make him a Barack Obama pumpkin,  he seems to really like Obama, and even asked his dad to buy him an Obama shirt.  Of course Ky will hear none of that,  only Republicans can live here.   Eli went for the traditional somewhat smiley Jack o Lantern,  and Granty took his woodcarving tools and put them to the pumpkin test, making very small holes everywhere for his unibrow pumpkin. :)  P.S. Bob's pumpkin could not be turned into Obama, so it was a puking black hole. 

City cousins come to town

So, the city cousins come to the country to see their Aunt Nae. We came down for Claire and Whitters birthday parties, and we had a blast. We played at the Cleveland park, played at Nae's beautiful new house, and we went cutting Wild Asparagus. It was an awesome time.

Zachery's 12th Birthday

So this is what 12 looks like, I will never forget, his last day in primary. He bore his testimony that he should be sad, or a little happy, but he really isn't sad to be leaving primary, and I forgot what else to say. This year Zach's really enjoyed reading and playing baseball. He is a great kid, with a funny personality, and I always say he is a 50 year old guy trapped in a kids body.

The Old House Rocks

So the kids are very excited, and the adults are very sad, to spend every waking moment that we are not at baseball, at the old house painting. They have relived the glory days of the dirt pile, and tortured bugs, as well as put the swingset to the weight test. In this picture Eli, Kegan, Zach and Dylan.

State of the Cabin in April

I suppose we will not have any water for a while, it seems that our spring is higher up in elevation than our Cabin, so we will need to wait it out. We were hoping by the end of April to use the Cabin, but see what you think. This is Eli and Dylan on top of the snowbank.
