We can't take Alex to Disneyland without walking

down to the Lego Store in Downtown Disney.
The boy loves his Legos.

Nathan loves being in the middle school Jazz Band.

Go helmet hair -- yikes.
I had a Friday a couple of months ago when, due

to all sorts of reasons, none of my daycare kids
needed me. I loved having a day off with Bryan.

I talked him into taking the four wheelers out

for a ride. I packed us a picnic and we rode down

to the river.

Brylie worked really hard this year

on her times tables. These are her awards.

Easter

For the last several years it has been a tradition

to camp at the Valley of Fire State Park for Easter.

We go with all of Bryan's family. This year his aunt

and some of her kids and grandkids joined us.

It was fun to have them there.

Setting up camp.

Ned, (Bryan's step dad) always

helps us hang something

red, white, and blue.

VeeAnn, (Bryan's mom) always has fun
things for the kids to do. And they love the
Easter egg hunt and all the prizes.
She is very generous and we love her lots.



There were so many pretty flowers in bloom.



The kids love climbing all over the rocks.
I usually take lots of pics of them on top of the rocks
but, I guess I forgot to get around to it this trip.
(Steph took a great one of my three kids that she
framed and gave me for Mother's Day.)

Memorial at Moab

On April 18 Bryan, Julie and Nathan

traveled to the crash site near the

Moab Airport. (We could see the airport

from the crash site.)

I (Julie) was very nervous about going to see the site.

However, it was an neat experience.

I'm glad I had the chance to be there for the Memorial.

Some high school kids from Cedar put it all together.

They did a fantastic job. They had to get special permission

from the BLM to have the marker placed there. It's one of

two that the BLM has ever allowed.

I think this is where the plane first hit the ground.

It's hard to see in the picture but this is the large
burned strip where the plane slid across the top of the hill.



Then it slid down this slop.
It stopped at the bottom of this hill,
where they placed the large rock
with the plaque on it.

Camping At Zion RV

We don't usually camp at an RV park,

but we love this one.

It is the only 5 star RV Park.

It is just outside of Zion Nat'l Park.

Zion the Lion


Bryan sure can grill up a great meal.
(He usually isn't this fashion challenged,
it was chilly and he was desperate.
He's really showing off his Disney clothes.)




We felt a little out of place.
The host stuck us in between a
bunch of fancy coaches.
Ahhh.....someday.

So glad I get to spend 8hrs a day

with this sweet little one

Steph's b-day

WELCOME HOME CASSIDY!!!

Cassidy is finally home and improving daily.

5K

On Saturday, I participated in my first official 5k. I had only prepared for about a week before so I walked most of it. My friend and I walk that far every morning. I hope to cut my time in half. I haven't done much exercising for several years. Now I'm up at 5am for walking, counting calories all day, and working out at the gym most evenings. I'm in a contest. I joined the contest at the last minute and they told me Nathan was too young to join. Then when it was too late to sign up I found out that he wasn't too young. I had just talked to the wrong person. So he's not official but they let him do all the training with me. It's nice to have something we can do together. Bryan is very supportive. I can't seem to get dinner ready soon enough so he gets left to finish cooking and serving. So far, he has liked all my new recipes. Now if I could just get him to walk with me. Our family goal is that all of us participate in the 5K in Kanosh this summer. We all have a lot of work to do. (Janeece you inspire me but not enough to post a picture. :) )
