weekend to st george

We had a short trip to st george. These are the only pictures we took. We stayed at Shandon and aubreys new townhome, which is so nice. We visited my grandparents and received a bunch of raspberry jam from grandma (it pays to visit)! Hung out with rachaels family and watched a few movies (2012, okay but out there a little, and marley and me which we liked).
Grandpa suggested going to see these hyrogliffs (indian writings on walls). It was pretty cool. They are on Little Black Mountian.

McKoy and Adds come for a visit...

We volunteered to watch McKoy and Addison friday thru sunday. It was a ball. McKoy and I headed saturday to the BYU vs UNLV game. OOHHHH it was a good game!!! Though BYU lost in the end.



Addison teaching me and Rach how to sing Head shoulders knees and toes, pretty precious!
We got in the hot tub, played way too much WII ( I wouldn't be a good parent), flew kites, played tennis, soccer, ate pizza ice cream and all of out M&M disappeared! Stayin up till 9:30ish! Man we are the best babysitters ever!! (for a kid, not parents)!!!

Shandon and Aubs visit us

Rachaels brother shandon and his wife came for a weekend. It was a ball.
We went ice skating and here's som epictures of dome kids with their walkers.

Aubs and rach gettin ready for their men!! Ya right. Gettin ready for themselves!

Now shandon and i got addicted to my wii tank game!!! Hey we beat it after playin for 7 straight hours!! until 5 in the morning!!! (actually we gave up at 5 and continued the next day)

Utes goes wild..

Mom, Mike, Rachael, and I went to the Utes vs UNLV game. Here's some pics to enjoy...
This is their mascot on stilts trying hard to get the crowd goin..didn't work!



Here's a sneak attack of us.

This is priceless...THis is my little basketball fan ....can ya tell!!




Okay she was bored to death, except for the last 2 minutes. The utes went on to win. THough they played very sloppy. UNLV beat BYU but how they played last night, i don't see how they could have. (we're really byu fans)



They have a cool gym though!

Valentines with the students...what to expect!!

Well a few days before Valentines Day, i had a few girls in the class come up to me and ask what i would do if this boy in the class asked me to be his valentine. I told then i would pat him on the head and say thats nice.
Well he must have chickened out that day, but he did give me and the classroom teacher a fake rose. This is the rose.




Yep thats the one. THe rose was inside of a plastic tube. After taking the fake rose out of the tube, there were ruffles in the middle. I pulled the ruffle out of the rose and the teacher and i about died from laugher! A red skimpy thong! Poor boy probably had no idea! We took them down to the office and the secretary had all the teachers come down and enjoy the laugh!
If his mom only know what she got her 6th grades sons teachers!

Saturday...breakfast at the Smiths.

Zane's a pickie eater! He refuses to eat cereal on Saturday morning since we have it all other mornings. Most saturdays he cooks breakfast, this saturday he said breakfast was ready..this was the image that i had when i got to the table...One egg on my plate and EVERYTHING else on his.



He shared kindly with me though! It was so good! Thanks honey!!

Gettin out!!

I get tired of sitting home so we got out this weekend.
The Sattair Palace. I saw pictures of it in the 60 and 70's, impressive then, not too much now.


We weren't sure where to go to skeet shoot so we drove 30 miles out of town a little past Tooele. This is our land mark picture. It was on the railroads bridge, we were tresspassing for sure.

I'm proud of my sharp shooter! She loves the gun that dad gave us. It's a 4-10, doesn't kick as much as a 12 gauge shot gun.


After we went to the park and had a bbq. It was warm until the breeze picked up. It's got a walking/bike trail at the park which is located right onthe Jordan River.


That night we went to Prove to the BYU - Utah game. I was cheering for utah at the start, but they weren't doing so good so i decided to switch to BYU, then utah started to come back. But i think i'm going to be a byu fan this year. No pictures of it - let the camera in the car in the rush of gettin to the game! Also went to Alta Ski Resort on Friday (i did while rach was teaching) Thanks to Aunt Caleen I went during the free skiing time. It was beautiful up there! No smog!!
