Tuesday, July 28, 2009

We got up really early on the 22 nd and left Utah over the mountains and into Price. rididng with me were my dad, and my 16 year old son. We caught I-70 at green river and went on into and past moab and then on into moticello where we turned and ran right into COlorado. Bye bye Utah. another few hours driving past some beautiful mountain scenery . drove like that for another 5 hours til we reached our destination.Aztec New Mexico the home of my brother and his wife and 3 kids.



We were there for that night and the next then home we had to go....We made it a chance for dad to see my brother and his family since he probably wont make the trip again. he is getting older adn these short trips he is still able to do. We also picked up my daughter who had been in New mexico for 3 weeks and felt it was time to come home. This post is about the trip out adn tomorrow you get trip back.
We showed up to this..
These 3 guys could not wait and had the chair ready and waiting for Grandpa.
The Next night they barbecued some Yummmy Burgers and we ate out in the backyard. Did a lot of talking with a few of his best friends that we had never met and then they FORCED us all into playing Texas Hold 'em . No money passing around here LOL.


It was our last night there so it was a late night. No drinks touching lips since I drive and I HATE headaches. Just lots to talk about. We woke later than we wanted the next morning to start out Long Trek home. We had decided to go through Mancos Colorado so my son could go see the Elk on an elk ranch there. We then had to backtrack to Durango and chose the route through silverton Ouray etc on our way to Grand Jct COlo to see my sister and her kids. More on that crazy trip tomorrow

I dont wanna go, just leave her gone

Words from my 3 year old who has been totally missing his almost 11 year old sister since she has been gone to her older sisters house for over a week.
I don't get this kid. He has whined, pulled the pouty lip, cried, and begged for his sister. I in order to get him to go to sleep a little quicker told him" we are going to get her in the morning" , His reply? " I don't want to go , let's jsut leave her gone". Umm, exsqueeze me? "let the bus bring her home" me" but she isnt at school" Him-"Let her walk here". Well, great idea but she is almost 3 hours away. ? No comment. . No comment.. no comment, but thinking. thinking , thinking, thinking. " We don't need her, let her live there" . Poor girl. She absolutely spoils him rotten and calls every day asking to talk to him. Rotten little boy ....

We went on a "walking Trip"

Thursday, July 9, 2009

As Sky put it any way.. We hooked the trusty cart to the bike and went off on our way. We didnt go far since skeeters were on full attack but seen some animals and scenery that we cant see normally. Although , Most of the wildlife we seen before we even left our driveway.Here we are below before we left and when we visited with Harry the llama and his buddy.



Then we turned to go and what do we have here?

She wasnt worried at all busy grazing on a bunch of trees we had just cut down so we could build a fence.

Sky want much surprised. They come through every evening and morning heading in and out to water and greener pastures.

Below is the walk away from our house, it was getting pretty shady and the mosquitos were keeping us busy.


Here is our view heading back. You can JUST see the tip of our house behind the trees.



I hope to get him out more. I just got me A beach cruiser and the stinking bike seat for sky wont fit on the back over the brakes , Talk about bummed! So last night we walked no pic of that since I decided it would be a great idea to take a 100 lb dog AND a unpredictable 3 year old . When I would get control of 1 the other would take off. We were plenty exhausted even after 30 minutes!
It is jsut me and Taylor tonight. Grandma and Grandpa have Sky, Chelsea is in New Mexico, and Liv is in Colorado. Now we will see who the real mess-maker is. Hoping to maybe take my son fishing up in the mountains tomorrow although, he didnt seem too enthusiastic about it.

Our trip to Moab.

After our trip to SLC approximately a week later it was time to deliver my daughter to her summer place in New Mexico. My SIL met us in MOab. That was quite the long trip in one day. Some really pretty scenery but pretty dang bland in some spots.




The one pictuer above My oldest kept saying" it looks like from the movie the hills have eyes" .. I have never seen the movie but felt very differently after that!

LONG LONG break.




Whew, been gone for a while but we have been SUPER busy.
Here are a few pictures from the past few months.
We took a long weekend and took the kiddos to SLC we went to the Zoo, Discovery gateway and hung out all weekend. I only got pictures of the zoo.
Sky was NOT impressed with the animals. He mostly wanted to see the Kangaroos ( only because his construction paper has a picture of a kangaroo) and the Llama, which we have a llama so I wasnt sure the meaning behind that. It was SO hot , I let the youngest ride the train and carousel. He HATED the carousel and cried before it started. The train he hated before it started and then would not get off at the end.





We sure were pooped when we got home. Olivia is getting so big and is almost taller than me and she is only 10! The below pic are from the carousel as well
