Moab 2010, Part 2

I bet you FEW readers didn't think I would come back huh?
Well, the next 2 days were filled with jeeping on the trails: Moab Rim
and Hell's Revenge. Nobody got stuck, rolled over or did any MAJOR
body damage = GOOD THING! We finished out our nights with dinner
and then to Main Street to watch the Car Show Drag. We saw some
very cool cars!!! All in all a pretty fun trip, I just wish Mother Nature
could have been a little more giving with her sunshine and warmth.



On the trails... pictures never do them justice!


Justun: always the funny guy...


The girls are REALLY scared, can you tell?


THE WHOLE JEEPIN' GANG

Doesn't Jeri take GREAT pictures? I am worthless.

Moab 2010, Part 1

Well, another trip to Moab has come and gone. Although, I would have preferred some warmer weather, Moab is always fun.

DAY 1: Arrive, unpack and yummy pizza at ZAX for dinner.
DAY 2: Hike through Arches National Park.


Three Gossips


Sheep Rock


Balanced Rock


Turret Arch


Delicate Arch
Abby was so proud she hiked the whole way by herself.
That's 3 miles in case you didn't know.


Delicate Arch
Hadley hiked most of the way up and
got a shoulder ride from Dad on the way down.


Our family at Delicate Arch
This arch never ceases to amaze me, it is so beautiful.

We ended the night with Taco Soup for dinner and a swim and/or sit in the hot tub. Then showers, jammies and Moab Diner for Ice cream!

STAY TUNED for Days 3, 4 & 5!

FAILING + Birthdays & Easter

Apparently, I have not kept my New Year's Resolution about updating my blog more often. I really should make it more important, when I look back at what I have posted I am glad I did, yet I can never find the want to update? I should get a huge FAIL in the blog department.

What's been going on for the past (almost) 2 months?

Abby was off-track, Hadley was REALLY sick for 2 weeks, it
WOULDN'T stop snowing... it sounds mostly bad I know and you're right it mostly sucked. However, I did celebrate #32 and the Easter Bunny did hop on over to our house.

My Birthday Loot!
Yep, you saw it right, that is in fact a Barbie.
Hadley gave me a "Classic" Barbie.
I guess I needed one.
I wonder who she really picked it out for?

Thanks to the family and the Proulx's!
I sure love them all!










Easter morning was quite "shocking" to Hadley.
Abby seems unimpressed....



Classic finding egg pictures, gotta love the bed-head!












Easter Dresses and Candy Smiles!

Happy Birthday and Happy Easter!

Our Romantic Valentines Day...

Ha Ha I got you! We don't do romantic around these here parts.
I don't love Valentine's Day, its extremely overrated and unnecessarily
expensive. Justun and I decided to bag dinner and gifts and just chill at
home with the kiddos. (OK I will be honest here, Justun and I have
never really gotten into the whole V-Day gift thing) He knows I LOVE
him everyday anyways! Who knows why? =)

We started off our typical Pancake Sunday with these babies:










Justun makes Wheat Pancakes from scratch every Sunday (YUMM-MEEE), this time he got a little fancy for the holiday. I also threw in the pink milk to round out the meal.

Family and friends then came over to exchange cards and treats. Our holidays strategy goes like this: if we wait long enough everyone will just come to us. It works out quite nicely. Anyhow, thanks for all of the treats we DIDN'T need! We LOVE you too!

Per Abby's request she wanted a "romantic dinner of Spaghetti and Meatballs like on Lady and the Tramp" and we were happy to oblige. Saved us some cash, some calories and fighting the crowds. We made Valentine's placemats for each of us, drank out of fancy glasses and ate by candlelight. Justun provided the show portion of our dinner with "Fire Tricks", wow he is so talented =) The girls chowed their dinner, no fighting over how many more bites before they could be done. It worked out much better than I had hoped.










Now they always want to eat by candlelight..... How romantic!

Here's an idea...maybe update your blog more often?
Well, there's no point in living in the past, so we'll start fresh.
