Fun in the SNOW!!!

For Memorial Weekend we went to the Whiting Homestead. Every year our family has this weekend set aside for projects that need to be done at the Homestead. For this year there was a 3 page long list of ""to-do's". So we were excited to go help out and have a fun time camping. We were a little concerned about the weather, when we left SJ's, it was windy as all heck and it started to hail! As we were getting closer to the Homestead we could see snow on the mountains. Yikes! Josh was pulling the 5th wheel with the truck and behind the 5th wheel was a little cargo trailer full of tools and supplies. I was driving the Durango pulling a trailer with the ranger on it. We pulled off onto the Homestead road and boy was it slick! Mud, puddles and snow sure makes it hard to pull anything! We didn't get stuck but it was wild getting up there. At the Homestead there was about a foot of snow!! HELLO, it's almost JUNE! We had so much fun, we had to go back into town and get snow boots for the kids and of course a snow sled for them to play with. There was about 70 people that had planned to come, but I guess everyone got scared off by the snow and only about 12 people came! We did more playing than work, and we had a great time, one last romp in the snow before next winter.

Dancing Girls

Haylee had a dance recital last night, she did so good! She is having so much fun with dance. She has been practicing at home for her recital. Well Sariah wants to big like Haylee too so she has been practicing with her. So when the music started last nigh Sariah had to get up and dance! It was so stinkin cute!

He made me do it!

Poor James! Well I have to start from the beginning..............James likes his hair long. So our deal is that if he gets straight A's in school, he can have his hair any style he wants. Which was dumb on my part, cuz the kid is smart! Of course he gets it from his genius mother! So his hair has gotten pretty long and he did need a trim to keep it looking like a hair style not just overgrown hair. We tried to get it cut last weekend when we were in Mesa, but the stupid place had over an hour long wait!! Yeah right! So the last few days he has been asking me to trim it around his eyes and neck. I told him I didn't know how and we would just have to wait till we go to Wal-Mart to get it cut. Well Mr. Impatient didn't like that answer so he kept asking me to just do it. So I finally said I would, but I warned him that I didn't know how to do it to make it look good. He said he didn't care...just do it. So I did it, and I screwed it up so bad!! He looked like the nerdy kid from "Eight is Enough" from like 20 years ago! James said "MOM...I can't go to school like this" I tried to get an appointment somewhere here in town to fix it, but no luck. So I tried to "fix" it some more, only to make it worse! I told you, I don't know what I am doing! Then I remembered that Jana knows how to cut hair, so I called her and she was able to come over and save the day. She looked at the mess I had made out of his hair and said she would try to fix it and blend it in. Well I had hacked away to much in the wrong places so we ended up having to use the CLIPPERS! POOR JAMES! What a good sport he was though. I think he looks handsome, I told him that now all the girls will be able to see his "Dreamy eyes", that didn't go over well, he hates it when all the old ladies make a fuss over his eyes. Well thank you Jana for saving the day and letting James go to school with a little of his dignity still in tact. And I promise never to pick up a pair of scissors again! (the first picture is a few weeks ago, Haylee loves to do James' hair, it was cute so I thought I would through it in!)

Totally Obsessed!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! I am completely obsessed! I know I'm a retard, but I love it, and I can kick some serious BUTT!! We got it a few days ago for the kids, it's sad when mom plays it more than the kids do! If you haven't played it yet, you have to, it is a lot of fun, and I don't play video games that much. We got the Wii for Christmas and I have to say it is way fun! I love to bowl and play tennis. OK enough of talking about what a nerd I am, but......does anyone want to battle on Guitar Hero??
