Camping?

The kids love camping. But we missed the ward campout because Kerry and I were at EFY. They felt cheated so a couple of weeks ago we went with the Nielsons. We went tubing down the nearly frozen creek, did a little dutch ovening, and even some sitting. The next campout is probably in May. Let the countdown begin.

Now the Grandma's can bathe

I am sure Kerry will have more ideas, but as far as I am concerned, the downstairs "Grandma's bathroom" is done. It turned out really nice. It was the last unfinished room in the house, and it turned out the best. Notice the diagonal-heated-tile. (which was a nightmare but is also nice.) You can't tell, but the toilet is higher than normal. "comfort height". So the ladies can swing their legs while they sit.

Three Litte Ninjas

Sadie has been interested in karate for a long time. She and I have been kicking the bags for a while, but just recently the boys started to be 'willing' to practice too. So, today I gathered the three of them in the basement and we had our first official workout together. I hope they like it and get as obsessed with it as I am.

Brian Regan

Kerry and I went with the Kaylors to see Brian Regan at Thanksgiving Point. It was so fun. We sat about 2/3rds whe way up, (next time we will come earlier I guess). There were about a million people, (but we still ran into the Lomu's and it was nice to see them.) Brian did mostly new stuff. (I laughed hard when he talked about going to see the ballet and how much he "loved trying to learn to like it a little.") He was pretty flexible and fun. He mixed in old stuff throughout and took requests at the end like "Pop Tarts" and "Golf animal noises". I missed some of my favorite jokes, like "You too" and "Take Luck". He is going to have another special on Comedy Central in Sept, so set your DVR's.

Man I am wierd lookin. Kerry looks nice though.

Kerry's Trip

These are only a few of the 383 pictures Kerry came back with after her most recent cross-country trip.

Longest week ever

A week ago Kerry headed out to Florida for a cross country trip with her mom. So, I took the week off to hang out with the kids. It has been really fun, but long. The kids have been great but I love my routines and this has really thrown me. I don't feel like myself at all. Anyway, we have played video games and watched movies all week. You would think that laying around reading books and taking naps would get old. But it hasn't. We are missing Kerry alot though. It will be a long few more days until she gets back.


We have loved having a Wii. The boys will do any homework or chores if it means they can play. And the Wii Fit has been a good workout too.

Here is our little princess. She loves the towel on the head thing. She loves doing her nails and make-up. I can't imagine that will get worse, will it?

Colorado!

We went to Colorado for a few days to see Grandma and Grandpa, we went with Devon and Michelle, it was fun to be with them. We did lots of fun things, Grandpa works at the rec center where we swam and climbed the rock wall.

The kids are so worn out from all the fun. Besides swimming, we also went to the movies, did projects for Grandma, went out to eat with Grandpa. The kids had a ball going through all our old toys. Sadie learned to do dishes and loved it. She argued with the boys and wanted to take their turns. They were very nice, and let her.

They all came home with new/old toys and Sadie even got some new clothes. I got a new gun. Both the clothes and the gun are pretty.

We went to Mesa Verde and saw the ruins. It is always neat to do a little hiking and see some history. The kids were fearless as they scampered around the cliffs and edges. They gave me a heart attack. I think I lost several years off my life.

We appreciate everyone making this such a nice trip for us.
