I put Cecil's artistic skills to work and this is BABY WILSON!

So we packed up the RV and headed for Zions National Park. It was the perfect birthday getaway---perfect warm weather and somewhere none of us had been before! Cecil's parents joined us for the fun and the kids had a lot of fun hiking, fishing, and exploring the outdoors. We had a great time and have decided to take a little road trip every year for Easton's birthday.Readfamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06014871453223993778noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434189079828121018.post-5975237848975729282009-03-17T17:32:00.001-07:002009-03-17T17:56:11.616-07:00Leppercons<div align="center">There is never a holiday that goes unnoticed around here....Thanks to our cute, cute Morgan. She is very intense about holidays and usually doesn't get much sleep the night before because she is so excited for the big HOORAY!! So all last week she has been busy at work building her<br /><br />"Leprechaun trap" out of an old box and a cup full of peanut butter with shiny gold coins inside...(the idea being that the leprechauns would go in the cup for the coins and get stuck in the peanut butter.) She set it all up last night before bed and left a note that said<br /><br />Dear Leppercon,<br /><br />First of all, Please leave 7 dollars and I will leave my coines. Please right a note.<br /><br />Morgan<br /><br /><br />Well those naughty little leprechauns jumped in the peanut butter and knocked over the box house and took the coins and jumped on top of the box house and left foot prints all over and left a note that said Shiney Coins!---but did not leave 7 dollars!?!? I guess peanut butter isn't sticky enough so they got away...... Better luck next year Morgan!<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj785Amvco6Rsa3xySAcgC4Uj8-kEvIh3WzjjbkAdr0y204vJ7z__C_njg9nNdH5miG7cp-hgstbax9qxHvSxFa0Mj52FeDf9o5em9jIQhjZX72rTIrAbpf_90N3XzaEtAXESXt1-6sOLWv/s1600-h/S5003509.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314324229607994546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj785Amvco6Rsa3xySAcgC4Uj8-kEvIh3WzjjbkAdr0y204vJ7z__C_njg9nNdH5miG7cp-hgstbax9qxHvSxFa0Mj52FeDf9o5em9jIQhjZX72rTIrAbpf_90N3XzaEtAXESXt1-6sOLWv/s400/S5003509.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;">Happy St. Patricks Day from our little leprechauns to yours!</span></p>Readfamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06014871453223993778noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434189079828121018.post-55837021644975936842009-02-07T21:38:00.000-08:002009-02-07T22:09:15.274-08:00Lucky #4--You Look Marvelous!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGel9pc9FmDp70y5AKZ1UEu6bKmavBLXv4zg70w0R6EM3OpJfnZgXNSIaZYN4trOmOY7UpdHlvL-Sd1MsoTLjk_HLvIQwlXBN2zQZKfKF99ojTxbxZgWelYlnPSpDgxLHpHKnZN3pfAQLz/s1600-h/S5003031+-+Copy+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300297308495143090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGel9pc9FmDp70y5AKZ1UEu6bKmavBLXv4zg70w0R6EM3OpJfnZgXNSIaZYN4trOmOY7UpdHlvL-Sd1MsoTLjk_HLvIQwlXBN2zQZKfKF99ojTxbxZgWelYlnPSpDgxLHpHKnZN3pfAQLz/s400/S5003031+-+Copy+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So, I was tagged by my friend Cheree---this is how it works: open your 4th picture file and post the 4th picture and then explain what the picture is about.

Easton starts to having a hard time breathing and has a nasty cough from Sept to April. "They" say kids tend to grow out of this around 3years old so I'm really really hoping Easton will follow that pattern. He is such a little trooper. He puts his dragon mask on and sits patiently until the breathing treatment is over. He's been doing it for so long it's just part of the routine.Readfamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06014871453223993778noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434189079828121018.post-4460474935294524572008-10-29T15:46:00.000-07:002008-10-29T16:00:02.320-07:00One of the days during fall break I took the kids to see the witches at gardners village.

This year we added a BIG Mama spider to go along with the demented spider egg sacks hanging in the door way. I also made the cute pumpkin topiaries to add to the collection of Halloween decore.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB6NZpzUub6k2iFU61lwWSEtOROMdXn0wJIJukSfK7LCYVkiIZtkdqe8P5y4L9jXMt6xfzw6JDnbkC_c3mU-7i3Jl6Lo1D9uV9mnPZmgLBDdo7RoEbZ1yMmyvv6T9bfm0PBhIUUhNbgll/s1600-h/S5002724.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB6NZpzUub6k2iFU61lwWSEtOROMdXn0wJIJukSfK7LCYVkiIZtkdqe8P5y4L9jXMt6xfzw6JDnbkC_c3mU-7i3Jl6Lo1D9uV9mnPZmgLBDdo7RoEbZ1yMmyvv6T9bfm0PBhIUUhNbgll/s400/S5002724.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262706766560947938" /></a><br />Another favorite....I love having a project...these are some of the many baby blankets I have made for friends and family.

She was counting up all her babies the other day and came up with 9 different babies that she claims as her own! If you ever need someone to hold your little one for a minute... or twenty you know who to call! She is going to be a great little mommy someday!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcgo7N6nHi03SBdSENFQl9dQ3VFFWwbJr5aBLArpuDGGjh1sB5wOiyovHefvCvJVCTnk_yYuz6tNpuidK0IyQbYlGv23PiRPdqPL8N7YeMALi4K3Z1_nCZn5XZKd7A382hnSZE4-9Ga-Gl/s1600-h/S5002738.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcgo7N6nHi03SBdSENFQl9dQ3VFFWwbJr5aBLArpuDGGjh1sB5wOiyovHefvCvJVCTnk_yYuz6tNpuidK0IyQbYlGv23PiRPdqPL8N7YeMALi4K3Z1_nCZn5XZKd7A382hnSZE4-9Ga-Gl/s400/S5002738.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258637712981019058" /></a><br />OH!

We all thought she was lost so the kids started making "lost" posters in hopes to find it's owner. Morgan even put the posters in page protectors incase there was bad weather---that girl is always thinking ahead!! Well, come to find out " Ginger" is really "Dodger" who lives a couple of streets over. Her owners just found out about her home away from home and are willing to share her every now and then, as long as the kids are nice to her. We are glad she has a home---she is a very sweet cat.<br /><br />Harley doesn't have the same opinion....she thinks "ginger" would TASTE sweet for lunch!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroPZrTuZlJHL68Pg0Ty9BWnSFwh1KnLVgvPX7T-oiwkQyYZYYiJx5NbGFFjKabkmy0ywBGzLGWRkAGzy7oKFuSEqVMfcb3lazD7atYW9bjcLcYuXBgfk8j-IOenEjqkn66DrxT2f_e8N8/s1600-h/S5002705.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroPZrTuZlJHL68Pg0Ty9BWnSFwh1KnLVgvPX7T-oiwkQyYZYYiJx5NbGFFjKabkmy0ywBGzLGWRkAGzy7oKFuSEqVMfcb3lazD7atYW9bjcLcYuXBgfk8j-IOenEjqkn66DrxT2f_e8N8/s400/S5002705.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258623485675343314" /></a><br />Ashlyn and Ashley spent all afternoon with "Ginger" and were reluctant to let her go ...even if it was bed time!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQoJhmXU0e5O2jW3B9yMR7rLCJHltlUFgRKMB0E2gn4RW4sypHk55-2ryGe-o101_5x1YQNmhSOI8G8rqFV53fb3-LG_0wB1O7EuKsxtnKXBtyCEdbeTkKsaEAwGNFSAWAM_Zdch3dBJNe/s1600-h/S5002750.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQoJhmXU0e5O2jW3B9yMR7rLCJHltlUFgRKMB0E2gn4RW4sypHk55-2ryGe-o101_5x1YQNmhSOI8G8rqFV53fb3-LG_0wB1O7EuKsxtnKXBtyCEdbeTkKsaEAwGNFSAWAM_Zdch3dBJNe/s400/S5002750.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258623487394506322" /></a>Readfamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06014871453223993778noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434189079828121018.post-53255379359649778792008-10-11T15:07:00.000-07:002008-10-11T15:56:10.010-07:00Welcome Home!Thursday October 2nd was a great day! My parents returned home from their 18 month mission to Australia. All the Grandkids had Australian Flags to hold and a sign to welcome them home.

We had many Family Home Evenings together to get everything done! This picture is their reaction to their "new house." We were all a little scared they wouldn't like it but everything turned out amazing and they said they love all the new changes!
