You are here!

Everyone knows we love our Sunday drives. A few weeks back the weather predictions were not good, it was going to be a stormy blustery day. We didn't need any more incentive to try and find some sun and fun. We started our going over a mountain to the East....hum nope still several feet of snow. We headed South to Kanab, a beautiful little town that is usually warm. (at least warmer then us) But the wind beat us there so we had lunch but couldn't really get out and play. We decided to head West again but go a different way then the over the mountain route we had taken. So off we go, cross into Arizona and head home.......

Me "um I think we are driving East"

Dew " maybe a little but its more South then East"

Me " No I think its pretty much straight East"

Dew " I think the road curves around up here and we will head West again"

I'm looking around at this point and seeing NOTHING except tree's as we head East back into some mountains.... oh and snow.... a blizzard really.

This is the first thing we came to, it was a little scenic view spot. I took a picture of the sign as proof....... that we had been driving East and were almost to the GRAND CANYON. We had taken a wrong turn right out of Kanab.

So here are the boys on our quest for sun playing day :)
The craziest part was there was NOBODY around until we walk up to the lookout area and then these men walk up offer to take our picture. So here we are, can you tell we are all freezing?

We have been laughing about our adventure ever since. What a fun, completely unexpected day. I think they make the best memories. That and the fact that me and the boys slept most of the way home :)

A beautiful Sunday

We had a perfect Sunday! The kind of day that's relaxed and fun for the whole family.

We started off coming into town to meet Aunt Becca and Uncle Dell for brunch. They were on their way home from St. George and stopped to see us. (Thanks for the yummy food!!) Always fun getting to see them!

And we were in luck we had the day off and the weather was nice. (happens less often then you would think) So we headed up to one of our favorite walking trails.
Luke starts out walking but that doesn't usually last long :)

I wish my camera was better, the hills behind the boys are bright red, it looked just beautiful with the stream in the background. But we did get both boys to smile :)

The boys favorite part is the park at the beginning of the trail. It takes a lot of work and promises to come back and play after we walk to get the boys past it. The slides were the biggest hit.

They couldn't pass up the swings either.

We ended the afternoon with ice cream cones before heading home.

Just a perfect day!!

Sorry I know I'm behind in blogging (way way way behind) I'm having trouble juggling everything, but I'm trying to get caught up......

Nascar in Las Vegas

Last weekend our good friends came through town on their way to spend the weekend in Las Vegas. It was NASCAR weekend and they had tickets and reservations to stay at the track.

They invited us to come down Saturday for the party. With some huge help from Grandma and Grandpa as babysitters off we went.

I went to a race a few years ago and loved it but I never saw the "city" of motor homes that is behind the track. It was one big party with groups of friends all over.

This is Troy, Cary, Me, Judy and Wendy (dew's taking the pic) We m...a...y have snuck into the track after it had closed to watch the practices....

That's me Troy and Cary sticking our heads through a small window in the fence that was open. Very cool you have to admit.

So this year is a VERY big birthday year for my hubby and his wonderful friends. I'm thinking it will be one big party year as there is a birthday nearly every month. I love these guys and think its a truly amazing thing that they are still so close after all this time.

Dewey and I didn't even see a race and still had so much fun spending time with everyone.

Late night group shot


Cary and Dewey being themselves :)

Check out the hotties!! And this is just a small portion of their group, hopefully sometime this year we can get a group pic with everyone in it.

Troy, Wendy, Cary and Judy THANK YOU we had a blast!!!

Weekend Fun

I can't believe it has been over a week since I posted. Time flies when all every single one of us has been sick. I think we need to buy stock in Lysol for how much we have sprayed everything down to try and stop the germs from swarming the house.... to no avail.

My grandma flew in from Texas last week for my cousins darling new baby, Ellie's blessing. They all came down to their house in St George over the weekend. On Sat. I thought the boys were feeling well enough for us to drive down and spend the day with everyone. And we wanted to say goodbye to grandma before she leave to fly home.

As it turned out Kolby was still not feeling well and ended up sleeping the all but 15 minutes of our day there. (poor little guy)

Luke however had a blast playing and exploring.

These are the rocks around the hot tub, a perfect climbing place for 4 year olds.


He took grandma for a walk around the pool and had to point out everything to her.

They have a putting green that Luke and I practiced our short shots on, he was only to happy to show off for grandma.

Not a bad shot!! (the ball did go in)


And YEA!!! I got to hold the BEAUTIFUL little sweet Ellie. Its been forever since I have held a baby this small..... simply heaven. She is just a doll, I'm so excited to have a new little one in our family.

Happy Birthday Kolby

My baby turned two yesterday......

We tied balloons to his bed so he would wake up to them. He was so excited...... after he woke up in our bed and Luke took him back into his room to see them.

We had cake (made by Dew) and ice cream of course. Kolby's face was a little confused when we sang to him but he knew the cake was his... "mine, mine"

He's showing off his new football sweatshirt. With his cheese smile, he says cheese as he is smiling.

I'm sure I will say this after every birthday. But really I can't believe he is two already. Where has the time gone? And how is it that he already knows how to put in a DVD, push play and watch a movie. I don't think I have mastered that skill yet :)
This little boy has a way of yelling my name when he hasn't seen me in a few hours and jumping into my arms that melts my heart like nothing else.
Happy Birthday baby, we love you!!!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!!!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!

Happy 60Th to an amazing man whom we are blessed to be able to call Dad and Grandpa.

He is our constant source of strength and inspiration and we wish him nothing but joy this day and always.

We love you, Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!

Jammin with the "Boss"

During the Superbowl halftime Bruce Springsteen played.

As soon as the boys saw him come on they disappeared into the other room. A half minute later they were both back with their guitars.

Yep they were ready to jam.

It was so cute and very funny, Luke was so serious.

Notice Luke's legs in all the pictures, he has the rock moves down.

And now mourning in the Warner house, no more football until next fall..... yep sad days for this football lovin family :)
