Saturday

 We had a good day also. We went to walmart to get cough drops for karen. she has a really bad cough. We went to Costco also. They had not one egg. That is so weird. We came home and dad worked in the garden and karen rested. I went to see kay. I got an email at 8 this morning that she was out of cheetos. I went and took her some. I thought there would be lots of visitors at the place but there weren't many there. They did have dads favorite pot stickers again at Costco so we had those for dinner. We went to parker theater and saw the sting. It was really a good play. They did a good job. Thanks Karen. Love mom

Saturday

 We had a good day.  I went to exercise class this morning and I made it to two hours.  We rode our bikes to USU to watch a robot battle the engineering department was holding.  They were in a break when we got there so we got Aggie ice cream.  The battle was pretty interesting and the robots battles were fun to watch.  We were going to go to a ward party but we didn't make it.  We went grocery shopping at Costco and WinCo.  Love you guys.

Friday

 We rode bikes to school and their was a hot air balloon which was fun to see.  My classes were all harder today but I had Ruth and Oliver which was fun.  We had a assembly at the end of the day and the kids were cute.  Isaac did have school today and he slept in and I think had a okay day.  Ruth went to her friends house to play, she had a good time.  They had a water fight.  Me and the boys rode our bikes to Lee's and got sushi.  We ate it at the park with the fountain and it was fun.  I had a problem with my program that was bothering me so spent some time debugging it.  Once I figured it out I could fix the problem so I called Dad and he fixed it and we had fun making patterns.  Isaac had dungeon and dragons and he had a really fun time.  He was really happy afterwards.

Love

 Wow Robin that just looks amazing. You have to be so proud. you guys have worked so hard. Way to go. I had such a lazy day. Dad said why don't you sleep in for a half hour. I said that sounded good. I ended up sleeping until noon and then taking a nap. Weird. We did go to Arby's for dinner. That tasted good. Tomorrow night we are going to go see a play. The sting. That will be fun. Have a great weekend. This weather is so good. Love mom

Thursday

 Today was good.  The kids at school were all super super chatty today and it wasn't smooth.  We rode bikes and that was fun.  Ruth is getting better.  It is so cold though in the morning though.  Ruth and Oliver had friends over to play.  I worked with Dad on programming for a bit and we made some progress.  I had bookgroup tonight and it was a lot of fun.  We sat in a hot tub and it felt so nice.  I love hot tubs.  It was fun to visit and it was a beautiful evening.  We read the book James and it was a good book and everyone really liked it.

Thursday

 I took dad to work and then ran some errands. I stopped at lowes and got a raspberry and black berry bush. I was excited about that. I also got some snap dragon flowers for the front. I drove out to Kay's and visited for awhile. She is doing good. I can see a little decline but not a lot. I came home and planted everything. There is so much yard work I need to do. Robin the weather is perfect. I love it. Rachel I am so excited for the program you are working on. Karen good luck with your first pot luck at work.

I went and visited kay and then came home and cleaned out the washer. It said I needed to do that. I also took all the cushions for the patio furniture out. I need to.give them a good cleaning tomorrow. I love dandelions. They are my favorite flower. Kids can pick all they want. It was the perfect day today. I love this weather. Love mom

Wednesday

There were some urgent labels that were needed in salt lake. So around lunch I ran up to salt lake to grab them. While I was up there I grabbed some bruschetta from red Rock because it sounded good. After work we went to the curiosity museum to walk about. Now it's warmer outside we walked around the outdoor area. It was nice to get out. Luna has also been picking all the dandelions in our yard. She sings and dances about while picking them. It's so funny.also this morning Jeramy picked out the green dress you see in the pictures. She threw a huge fit and cried and said it would make her cough all day. So I picked out another out fit and then she cried because all she wanted to wear was the green dress......

Tuesday

 I had a good day. I took dad to work and then went grocery shopping. I put it all away and then sliced tomatoes and went and visited kay. We had pizza for lunch. It tasted good. I took the chair cushion on karens table with me and it helped so much. Sitting  was hard on that hard folding chair. I stopped by ifa on my way home and got kale and Brussel sprouts and planted them. I have never tried brussel sprouts. I was being daring. I got skittles in the bulk section at winco and are freeze drying them. The grandkids keep asking for them. We went to the gym and that felt really nice. Robin I didn't think about tariffs in your work but that will hurt you guys a lot. That is scary. Rachel it was nice to talk with you. I am glad you are working on that project. Love you all mom

Tuesday

 Today was good.  I don't have classes so it is a slow day.   After school I talked with Dad about my program.  I really appreciate all his help.  Isaac has violin lessons.  Ewan was planning a playdate with Oliver and then he walked to our house.  Then they walked to Evans house to play which was cute.  We promised the kids we could eat at sabores for surviving the backpacking trip so we went their tonight.  I went to exercise class and it was the hard one but it felt really good.  Casey went running.  I talk with Dad for a bit more with some questions I had.  It was a good day.

Tuesday

 My day was good. Work is getting more interesting now that I am done with the training. They are going to give me 6 sigma training. So in two weeks I get to go to white belt training. That should be fun. After work we went to the gym. Then we had strawberry shortcake. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Tuesday

Today was alright. There are a lot of talks about the tarrifs at work. It's just interesting how fast everyone is pivotting. Other than that work was good. After work I picked up groceries and had dinner. We also started cleaning up the lawn since it was pretty trashed from winter. I think we at least have an alright area for egg hunting. I looked ahead at the weather. It looks like Easter Saturday is going to be really nice. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Monday

 We made it back to work and school and we survived.  I have been getting up a bit early to lift weights and I have been really liking that.  Isaac didn't get up and was rushing to get to the bus.  Work went pretty good today and all my classes went really well.  Isaac and Oliver had orchestra.  Me and Ruth cleaned the van and it feels so nice.  I programmed for a bit and that was fun.  We did homework and the kids played out.  Casey went rock climbing and I went to exercise class which was upbeat barr.  It was fun.

Sunday

 Luna spent the night. We had a fun time. She is growing up way to fast. We took her to the mall and met jeramy and robin. We came home and just rested. We are lazy. Allergies are so bad. My jury duty was canceled for tomorrow. That is nice. I have a quiet week. Rachel I am glad you had a good time. Love mom

We are back

 We had a good time and it is hard to come back.  Wednesday when we got down there I made a wrong turn and got stuck in the sand.  Casey is amazing and got us out.  We got to our camp site and noticed we had a flat tire.  So we thought we would fix it in the morning and then come back but then it snowed and was so cold we decided to get a hotel in price and dry everything out and get a new tire.  Friday we made it back down and we decided no more dirt roads so we hiked a slot canyon called sweet canyon.  Poor Casey fell and hurt his knee but he is okay.  It was a beautiful canyon and we had a lot of fun hiking it.  We found a camping spot up on a ledge and it had a ton of drift wood so we made a big fire.  We were going to explore downstream more but it got really narrow and then it was blocked by huge boulders and their was huge pockets of water.  So we hiked out and went to goblin valley.  We decided to stay until it was dark and then just drive home.  Casey didn't think he could hike with his knee.  So we got home in the middle of the night and slept in.  We cleaned up everything and unpacked today.  We walked to the park which was nice.  Here are a million pictures.

Love Rachel
