Going on Vacation!!!

So the boys and I are going on a vacation this week. We are going to go to Arizona and spend Easter with the family down there, and then we are going to head to Texas to see where my Mom and Jeff are going to live. Im pretty excited to go and I know the boys are way excited to see their cousins! I just hope the drive goes smooth and the boys behave!!! So the next few posts will be from the warmth of Arizona and then Texas. I am sure Skyler will be having fun without us here!!! He gets a break from all the noise and craziness!!!

Griffin's County Report

Griffin had to do a county report this year in the 4th grade. He decided that he wanted to do his on Tooele County. So we decided to take a trip to Tooele County and see some of its smaller cities. We first stopped in Mercur, which is considered to be a ghost town now, nobody lives there but they do have the Barrick Mercur Mine. Then we drove on to Ophir, this little town is so cute! The population there is 23 people. They have cute old fashion homes and what not. Then our last stop was in Vernon, which we know pretty well, its where we go camping and fishing at the Vernon Resivoir, but also in the cute little town of 328 people is one of the yummiest places I have ever eaten called The Silver Sage Cafe. This place is delicious and the people who work there are too dang nice. We had a really fun time going to all these cities and taking lots of pics. Here are a few of Griffin's AWESOME report, and some of us on our outing!!!

Ashley called me a wuss....

Last week was one of our FAVORITE people's birthday... Miss Ashley turned 17!! And for her birthday her amazing mama bought her a baby ball python. My boys were super excited to go over and see it and hold it. While I on the other hand, not so much. I am not a fan of snakes of any kind. Small, cute, to me... no such thing. So Skyler, Griffin, Gavin, and my little Gaige all held the snake. Even Ashley's little sister Emily held the snake. Well, I didn't, I couldn't bring myself to even touch it, and when any of them got close to me with it I kinda freaked. I was good as long as I was the one behind the camera taking the pictures (thank goodness for zoom!!). Anyway because of my fear of holding or even touching this gross little reptile Ashley called me a wuss, and I have to say I agree... I am a wuss, I think for a while I will stay a wuss. So here are some pics of the non-wusses. I even got one of Ashley kissing the dirty little creature!!!
