High School Musical!

We got Haylee tickets to go see "High School Musical" the play at Gammage, ASU. It was so much fun, the best part is she had NO idea! It was a complete surprise! We left James and Sariah at my sisters house and just Haylee, Mom and Dad had a special date. She thought we were taking her shopping, then we parked at Gammage parking garage and started walking. We told her we were not going shopping, but somewhere else, then she started to see the signs hanging around the building and started to get excited. We walked in and I showed her our tickets and she was so excited!! Holy COW it was crazy in there, if you have a pre-teen girl you might know what I mean :) and you might also have both CD's memorized as I do because it's playing at our house non-stop with practiced choreography moves! When they turned out the lights and the stage was lit up it was crazy loud with girls screaming!!! It was so funny! Haylee was still in shock and just sat staring at the stage. I have to say that they did a great job on it, it was really good, Josh even liked it! It was a lot of fun, the best part was seeing Haylee's face when the realization hit her what we were up to!

Livin in the Country

Oh the joys of living in the country! James and Haylee like to swim in the irrigation ditch in the backyard. A couple days ago they were out there and Josh and I were in the house, well Haylee comes screaming into the house yelling "Snake, snake!" We go running out to see, you never know with her, she gets scared easily.....it could have been a stick :) She was right it was a snake! Our dog Molly was barking at it and James was poking at it with a stick. It was a huge blow snake. I think that was the third one we have found in a week that big. We are trying to teach Molly to find them. Yesterday I heard her barking out by the shed, so Sariah and I go see what she had found, I was expecting another snake. She had something cornered up behind a door laying on it's side. I called out to Josh to look behind it to see what it was, he pulled the door back and a big grey squirrel ran out right for Sariah and I! I spook easy so I screamed, Sariah was laughing at the whole scene. Molly was ecstatic that Josh freed her victim and took off chasing it! It was funny to see Sariah! She was telling everyone the whole day "Molly chasing a squirrel!"

Mexican Cruise

Josh and I just got back from a week vacation, we went on a cruise to Mexico. We had so much fun!! We left the kids with Melissa, my sister, so it was so nice to be just Josh and I.....alone!!! Whoo hooo! I didn't feel too bad, cuz the kids love to go to Melissa's, we brought our water slide for them to play with and they had a good time. But if you have never been on a cruise, you have to! It is the way to vacation. You get on the ship, and that all you have to worry about. All your meals are right there, with tons of food you could eat all day and night! You can do as much or as little as you want. They have games and bingo, comedy acts, magic shows, goofy golf, swimming and then when you get to a port you can do tons there also, or nothing. My highlight was winning $300 in bingo!! I know its for old people but I have a secret passion for it!

This is a sand castle that someone built on the shore at Catalina....so cool! Josh wanted to smash it! He is so ornery!

We are at La Bufadora here, it is blow hole in the ocean in Mexico.

If you can't tell we took this picture ourselves, I know we are dorks. Look at all the gray in Josh's beard, I'm married to an old man!

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!
